I first read this after the solution, but was about to ask if the viewfinder was still displaying everything. Menus, photo review, basically anything shown on the rear screen also will display in the viewfinder. It would be enough to get that anniversary job done. Then I was going to remind...

@Clovishound He is using a D50, which has to be getting near 20 years old now. Low resolution crop-sensor body. A 28mm lens would be full-frame 42mm equivalent. Not that wide at all. Later model 18-55mm lenses with vibration-reduction would be my route to go. Sharpness to spare for that older...

I understand the Tamron G2 version is much more respected than the G1. I personally have the Sigma 150-600mm C and never have had any regrets over it.

But your Z6 does not have an optical viewfinder like that note is referencing. And the lens would have had to be warehoused for over 2 years to not have 2019 firmware anyhow. Seem to remember many shortages of import items back at that time.

I have the dock. I used it once. It is not really needed. I had 2 other Sigma lenses at the time to update though, and since traded one of those in. If you check the firmware change log, I think there has only been 1 small update for Nikon F mount. Canon mount has had several others. You can...

Me too, but I have enjoyed Jordan and Kris' YouTube channel. I understand they are jumping to a new home.

A lot of good points presented so far. While the D850 is considered by many to be the best F-mount camera, that does not have to mean it is the best for you. Looking at your lenses, you basically have 2 full-frame lenses. Of course the DX lenses will work on a D850, but there is a cost/penalty...

What can I say. My older Sunpak tripod wanted to have a purpose again. This is a tripod that I had broken 6 years ago, sent in for warranty repair, and was inspired to at least replace the unstable pistol-grip head following that. I since bought a new tripod which I transplanted that...

FYI, my Z5 was on correct time. I believe it auto changes if you check the DST box in the date-time menu.

Yay, high-noon is now 1pm for over half the year. 😒

I have seen it done with the ISS before. It was also famously framed up by somebody during the launch of the SLS moon mission last year. This photo set sure looks like it was using a telescope. Possibly a dedicated telescope astrophotography cam was used also.

I cannot run Luminar on my vintage 2011 PC even with upgrade to 16GB RAM. I need a newer version of CPU for some extra command sets. Also need newer mainboard for Windows 11 update. But I am still good with RawTherapee and GIMP so I stretch the life a while longer. Have to replace a furnace...

Sometimes going from warm car to cold outside also causes some uneven metal heat expansion situation. Not much required for a clamp-style attachment. Check and recheck as you work.

Thank you @Marilynne and @Bikerbrent. I have made big strides in recovery over 2 weeks and expect that to continue over another 1-2 weeks.

I wanted to try. I took a fall 2 weeks ago and injured a knee. It is a very slow recovery, only returned to work Monday. It will be some time yet before I feel good enough to lug the astro-gear around.

Z5 has it under the Retouch menu. The Z50 can't be that different. You can also select a monochrome color space under picture control which will even show a monochrome view as you shoot in the viewfinder. Jpegs would save directly that way. I have tried this with my Z5. Other than sensor size...

All 3 are APS-C crop-sensor format. I think the 16mm will make some interest for Z30 owners as they shoot video. 56mm for portraits and 30mm for the fast normal prime in the bag. If I had a Zfc, I would still choose the Z 28mm Nikon in the retro style.

As Fred says, the 28-75mm is a rebranded Tamron. Recently the news made it out that Nikon will only condone Z-mount 3rd party lenses that do not directly compete with what Nikon is making. That is why the odd focal range with the bargain f/2.8 series. Nikon just saw a way here to fill in a need...

Oh deer!
