    NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S

    Here is a follow-up from Steve. He really seems to like this lens. It has been a while since I have heard him speak so highly of a new lens. $6500 really is not that bad for this kind of lens, especially at rollout. I would not be bothered using it on a Z6II. @Woodyg3 with that 500 pf 5.6...

    Well a dear friend needed a tripod so we made a good trade of stuff and he was happy with it as was I, but it left me in need of a tripod. I had been looking at this Leofoto Summit LM-324CL after seeing a review by Hudson Henry the Weight of the tripod is 4lbs The Max height: 79.5". The Max...

    Danno's Z Ramblings for 2022

    Figured I needed a thread started. I have been dragging my feet this year. The moon was handheld with the 2x Z TC.

    24-200 f4-6.3

    @TwistedThrottle, I think you might be right about the all around 24-200 lens. It seems at the price point required some compromises. It can be a very good lens but not necessarily a great lens. I agree with you on waiting for the next body. I am waiting to see a Z8 or Z7lll. I would like to...

    24-200 f4-6.3

    Well... First off, I can carry this lens and Tele-converter and i have to say that is wonderful. I do lose 100 mm of length but I am thinking I can live with that because the 2X Tele-Converter is like adding another lens to the bag. This is not my best moon shot because i was shooting through...

    Recommend a long lens, pls

    @Clovishound, If you can handle the weight the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 works very well on the Z6. I have taken a couple shots of the moon with good results. For me it is a tripod only lens. I am using the 70-200 f2.8 Z S with the TC 2X Tele Converter for carrying around.

    This came from UPS via my local brick an mortar camera store. The Weather has been kind of ugly so I have not been able to get out. It is supposed to improve next week so I should have a chance to play with it more. I have to say taking some photos in the house using the Z 70-200 f2.8 it looks...

    That is a really nice shot @Woodyg3. I have only seen a couple in the daytime in all the time Pat and I have lived out here in the country. It is a surprise to see them at night. Horse farm owners and cattle folks keep them on their toes. I have a friend that his job is ridding the horse farms...

    Danno's 2021 Mirrorless Wandering Here and There as I Can

    Jersey Girl and I went on our first adventure since July. This Bridge is long forgotten for most. It was replaced by a new one years ago with 4 nice straight lanes... This was a big part of my misspent youth. Street Racing motorcycles in the dark hours of the night with no prize just...

    New Lens... 70-200 f2.8 Z S

    Well, I went out and bought the 70-200 f2.8 and it came in last night. I have to say that I do love this lens. I have not been able to get out and use it today. To much stuff going on here today but I did get to take a shot of my reluctant model. Just a quick one. I sold my Tamron 70-200...

    I had an unexpected guest in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky last night. Walt and Karen and Karen's cousin stopped and we had supper together. It was really nice to meet face to face. We had a good visit.
