This lens is lighter and much less expensive than the S line 24-70. My guess would be that this is a very popular zoom range , and they believe it will sell very well. It should make a very attractive kit lens. I, personally, would prefer to see them coming out with some affordable long lens...

Unless you got it cheap because of the fungus, I would return it. Fungus growth can etch the lens coatings. Several of my dad's cameras I got when he passed had fungus growing in the lenses. This equipment was stored in unairconditioned rooms in central Florida. Some of them were too far gone to...

Color me impressed!

Well, looked through the rest and came up with these 2. Not sure they are better. This one still has the offending tree, but with some moss hiding part of it, it isn't as distracting. This one still has an edge of the tree, but it doesn't seem to distract. Nice expression on the face, but a...

OK, I tried that. That tree is less distracting, but the bird is facing toward the short 1/3 of the picture. Better overall? I, personally, don't find the tree that distracting. I didn't really notice it at all until it was pointed out. I do agree it would be better without it. Let me look...

And here we are with the first in the series of Demotivational posters.

My Photoshop skill isn't up to removing that tree behind the bird. The vertical of this picture may help reduce that distraction.

I would appreciate opinions on the best cropping for this image. I shot a red tailed hawk as I was packing it in and heading back to the car yesterday at the Audubon Swamp. I'm struggling with the best cropping options for this image. Here is the full, uncropped image. I was using 500mm and...

I'm not knowledgeable on the process involved, just aware it is there. On my Z5 it is under the "wrench" menu and is called "AF fine-tuning options". It should be the same or similar on your Z6. There is an option for "fine tune and save lens". Did a quick search on Youtube, and there are...

This may not necessarily appeal to everyone, but there's something that I like about this picture.

It looks to me like the branch behind the bird is sharp. That would indicate a focusing issue. I believe the Z6 has a menu option for dialing in focus for your individual lens. I have heard this is more often needed on 3rd market lenses. You might want to enlarge the original full size image and...

One of the anhingas caught a fish that was almost too big to swallow. He finally managed it. Unfortunately, the sun came out and was directly behind him. Backlit with a black bird is not a good combo. These were taken the same time frame, with different exposures to try and find a happy medium...

Made a trip out to the Audubon Swamp attached to Magnolia Plantation. They have done some work dredging the swamp, and clearing debris. I haven't visited it in years. Got a couple snaps of this guy. Also saw some ducks, anhingas and gators, Oh my. I went ahead and signed the release agreement...

Caught this guy in the act. Stealing firewood.

I've had one experience with the the Nikon store. I received a defective lens. I had some trouble with conflicting information on return and reorder, but in the end they made it good.

I believe the option to click on and enlarge is only available when the size of the image is greater than 1000. If you pull up the EXIF data on posted pictures the ones that you can enlarge are all over 1000, the ones that you can't are under. If the picture of the sky with the wolf is the one...

Well, you won't see any pictures of the UK from me. My traveling days were a good while back. I flew as a loadmaster on cargo aircraft in the AF reserves. Made lots of trips to Mildenhall, although usually it was just overnight. Lots of memories. I have a Smokehouse Inn sticker around somewhere.
