    Thanks again Clovishound; much appreciated. The 40mm prime may suit my needs for low-light conditions -even though the Z5 would not appear to have great AF capabilities in such conditions. I do have a Nikon external flash btw. (SB600) Best wishes, R

    Thanks Clovishound (interesting name!) for such a full response. I too was thinking on much the same lines. I was thinking of taking the Z5 with the FTZ and the DX35 mm (as well as the Z 24-70 f4)-if only for the better IQ at low light . However, given the crop etc I wonder if it's worth the...

    Hi Clovishound. It's fine - I took it as you intended and agree with your comments completely. The Z5 has just arrived 5 mins ago and the 24-70 -lens - so am looking forward to opening both parcels and getting to know how the camera works. The differences in dialect between even small areas...

    Thanks for the warm welcome; much appreciated The reason why ‘Z’ is pronounced as’Zed’ in the majority of the English-speaking world is that in the fields of aircraft and ship nav, not to mention airtraffic control, every vowel and consonant must sound different to any other, and the...

    HI, many years ago I was a member of a local group shooting mainly B&W and colour slides. I seem to recall winning a few competitions with my trusty, lovely Contax camera. Since then I have moved up(?) to a Nikon D5500 and various lenses - but I'm now only doing 'snaps'. However, yesterday I...
