    Weird problem: Camera never really off, draining batteries.

    Do you have Bluetooth turned off? Does it do it when the lens isn’t attached? Does it do it with the lens attached but not the battery grip? I’ve never experienced this with my z7ii gripped with the mb-n11grip, my B battery hasn’t been changed in months. What grip are you using?

    Sensor cleaning needed

    Yup, I always start with the rocket blower with the sensor facing the ground. I use a swab after all other cleaning techniques have been used to minimize damage by dragging anything across the sensor. It feels intimidating to clean your sensor for the first time but It’s really not and has...

    Greetings from the UK (Sheffield/Peak District)

    I think you'll find that mirrorless has a much better time focusing in low light than DSLR's ever did. Even at f4, most shots will easily find focus. I use my 50 for the effect on out of focus items more than just for low light and I'd personally get rid of my 24-70 f4 before getting rid of my...

    @Bonky Keep in mind that your 35mm on your D5500 has the effective focal length of a 50mm on full frame. If you like that look, you might want to consider the 50mm f1.8S, (or Z mount 40mm f2 Plastic Fantastic if you want to keep the cost down) for your low light lens on the Z5. For a day time...

    Post your latest purchases.

    Nikon 400mm f4.5 Finally pulled the trigger! Been without my 150-600 for quite a while and the refurbished sale through nikon usa dot com was enough for me to jump on it. I dont get a nikon box with it but it looks brand new and I saved hundreds of dollars this way. Without the hood, it feels...

    Aggravating thing just happened..

    If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use a BF Hammer. :ROFLMAO:

    Photographing a running horse?

    Nice pictures and I like the idea of riding by a flash! I’ve never done anything like this but look forward to seeing what you come up with, hopefully you’ll share your results with us. What camera/lens, flashes are you using? Are you shooting high speed sync? Do you have an opportunity to test...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    In my experience, the minimum focus distance shot with and without the 2x teleconverter on my 70-200 is the same. Keep in mind, I've not tested every lens/teleconverter combo; in fact mine is the only experience I've had with any teleconverter attached to any lens. But this is mentioned...

    Zf Released!

    Congrats @Nero I shoot 90% gripped but love that it can be taken off easily to use smaller lenses that feel lost on the camera with a grip. I wish they’d come out with a full battery grip with aperture and shutter speed controls like what’s available for the z7ii. It’d almost be a mini z9 then...

    Should I need/get a Z TC1.4 for Z186?

    The point of a teleconverter is to make your subject larger in the frame. The absolute best way to do this is to move closer to your subject. The next best way is to get a longer lens and if neither of those options work, use a teleconverter. Even with a teleconverter, there’s a maximum distance...
