Congratulations to Marcel!!!

Can't stand seeing Chris and Clovishound out taking wonderful shots with gimbal gear... So grab the day that sky opened a little after the past 2, 3 weeks and went out to try a little test and practice around the yard. The scene and subject (no BIF) weren't so much, but the feeling of using and...

Thank you so much, Marilynne. Now we (hopefully) don't miss posts on either thread of old.

Clovishound, if you and Moderator agree, let's merge your thread (Got a gimbal tripod head for Christmas) and mine (How do you shoot BIF with long lens on a gimbal tripod?) into a new thread: "ML Z + long lens + gimbal" So all can discuss and share in one thread. Of course, a moderator is needed...

Look like your new gimbal head works well for you. I like your duck picture. Mind asking which lens you use (I see focal length = 500mm) and which AF mode and focus area mode? Just wonder.

I use this one:

Thanks, Chris, for sharing your great experience. Look like you got an Artcise AS90C. Mine CS80C. I feel it's strong enough for my system. Your first image (eagle catch fish) is stunning and the handheld image of geese fantastic. The focus area mode I used to set "Large wide-area AF" which I...

How do I send PM to members? Or has it changed?

I have acquired a gimbal head and heavy-duty tripod set ready for use with my z6ii and sigma 150-600mm for BIF (and moon) shot. Now just wait until the (rare) long raining season is over and the wildlife refuge becomes busy again this year. Reckon before that, better rank up all techniques with...

Will I win the challenge if keep it and use it to enter? I doubt it... but you make me regret a bit. Oh well, old must go else new won't come. But let's see how you tackle this week's challenge, Peter.

Oh, great! Got my new ML camera, but just sold my old D3500...

Congratulations to Walt!!!

Thanks, Dan. I already got my new z 20mm f1.8 S and did some little tests. Now we are experiencing some great downpours here in northern CA for the past week and into the next weeks! Neighbors were victimized by big tree fall on their roofs and cars... Really had no chance for more practice with...

Very impressed with your moon shots!!!

Wish everyone a very Happy Photo New Year!

Good point!

I see, but how does the set angle affect your manual focusing operation? Theoretically, a larger rotating angle would make more accurate result, but slower to achieve. Small angle would enable fast focusing but may be less accurate. Is there any guideline that provides choices for different...

Please elucidate a little... why?

There is a new firmware update (V1.10) available for actually all prime z S lenses - 20mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm - to support linear manual focus control via the lens control ring. IMO, this is much welcome and needed especially for the 20mm that I acquired for the nightscape shot. My first z lens...

Oh, but I see many of your images shot at 300mm focal length. Guess those subjects were close to you then.
