That happens to me a lot on my Z5. I don't know of anyway to lock into the center or other positions. You probably already know, but you can easily bring it back to center by pressing the OK button.

Got out this morning with the Pup. Great white egret was cooperative.

I think you will be happier with the modern macro lens. It will be easier to use, likely better quality images, and you may find other uses for the camera/lens combo than taking pictures of tubes.

If I still have any, they are going to be difficult to find. I still have a few boxes of "stuff" from his shop that I brought home and stored in the 80s. If I still have any, they are likely to be garden variety, common types mainly from TVs. I remember when I was young the local convenience...

Your post got me to thinking, I know, dangerous for me. I could get an M42 to F mount adapter for $15. I have some old screw mount lenses that I could use on my Z5. I also have a reversing ring and some extension tubes as well. I could rig up a neat little macro setup. Or, I could just borrow my...

My dad was a TV repairman when I was growing up. He had boxes and boxes of tubes in his home shop. When he passed in the 80s, we had to clear out a whole lot of old tube type TVs and radios. I may have a box or two in the garage that has a couple rolling around in them.

Perhaps this would work. Leica M39 to Nikon F mount. No infinity focus, macro only. The price is right. Amazon

Well, it has been announced and there are plenty of Youtube videos reviewing it online now. The nickel tour is that it has the same stacked 45.7 MP sensor as the Z9. It will shoot 20 fps of full RAW up to 1000 frames. It also has a sensor shield, something I wish my mirrorless had. They are...

Classic line from this movie: Young Frankenstein

Werewolf? There, there wolf.

l don't think I would worry too much about whether the lens is made in Japan or Thailand. I have a Z5 with the 24-70 lens which are both made in Thailand and both seem to be excellent build quality.

Glad to see so many folks here from across the pond.

Took me a minute to make the connection.

Right now the D850 is on sale for $2500, and shoots at 7 fps. For a $100 more you could get a Z7ii which has the same 45 mp sensor rating and 10 fps.

Back in the day, we used to always shoot in manual.

Well, just got back from my second trip to the forest. Not as much going on today. Unfortunately, the nest close to the deck was empty. That's where I was hoping to get some good shots at. I managed a couple of the warblers, had a barred owl pose for us, and a couple other critters. Worth the...

For months and months, every time I pulled up to a stoplight, I kept reaching out with my left foot after getting a car with an automatic transmission. The senior in Senior Member is accurate for me.

I saw one that speculated the focusing motor, but nothing definitive given.
