    Post Your Nikkor 14-30 f4 S lens Photos Here

    Well I bit the bullet on the 14-30 f4 S today. I had time to take a few shots in the midday sun, which are not the greatest conditions, but I do like the lens. I do see it and the 24-70 jockeying for use on the Z6. It is so much lighter than the 14-24 f2.8 F mount that I was shocked. I look...

    I am now transitioned one more lens from F mount to Z mount. I purchased the Nikkor 14-30 f4 S lens today. I do like it. I took a few shots with it in the midday sun and I do like the wide open 14 mm. and I do enjoy the weight loss, compact side and standard filters 82MM filters working on a...

    ball heads

    @Hobbit, I have purchased 2 Arca Swiss ball heads used; a B1 and a Z1. I got a really good deal on both from a dear friend. The load capacity of the B1 is over 50 pounds and it is rock solid. It does not slip or shimmy at all. I also have a Benro that I use on my Platty Pod. It is a B2 model...

    Extension Tubes For My Z6

    I found some Meike Extension Tubes for cheap so I picked them up simply to experiment with. I do not do a lot of Macro but I do like to do some. I took some very quick shots in poor lite just to see it they would focus. No tripod or added light. Focus peaking and AFS pin point work fine...

    How to Buy an Apple iMac for Photography

    Woody, I just went out looking around after @Whiskeyman mentioned some things and pretty much everything I looked at was SSD. I have a few years left before I need to make the investment. I have a new laptop and tablet, but looking at the iMac models for 2019 surprised me, especially after...

    How to Buy an Apple iMac for Photography

    @Patrick Molloy, I remember seeing the big 8" floppy disks. I do remember the punch cards as well. As I type this response a small tremor went up my back as I remember carrying the boxes with fear of spilling them all over the ground. @Whiskeyman I do remember the tanks as well, with the...

    How to Buy an Apple iMac for Photography

    \That is a good point @Whiskyman. I still have a pretty new PC but between you and Patrick you make a good case for switching. I have to admit that I kind of came along with PCs when they did not have a hard drive and there was one in the engineering department. Apple is a bit of a different...

    How to Buy an Apple iMac for Photography

    This morning I was perusing Photography Life's website and I came across an interesting article. Now I am a PC guy, but my Son has been trying to get me to go to a Mac the last few years so when I came across this article on buying an iMac I had to check it out. This could be old news to...

    Danno's Here and There With the Z6 for 2020 as They may Come

    Just a beautiful day today. Pat and I just went out for a ride on the back roads. I was just looking for barns and such, but the Yard Birds showed up. Oh, I missed a wild turkey by THAT much today when he took off across the road in front of us.

    New (used) D8**** series

    @meddyliol, the amazing thing about using the approach Marcel laid out is that you can pick up some great FX lens that will work very well on your D7000 and get the benefit of that better glass on you existing camera. For example I bought a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 for less than 1/2 the Nikon...
