    Woody's 2022 Photon Quest

    Woody, In what situations do you choose 300mm focal length, and situations for 500mm? I (my bad eyes) see similar results in your posted images.

    How come you don't use sigma 500 or 600?

    z 20mm f1.8 S arrived

    I was surprised that FedEx delivered my new z 20mm f1.8S from B&H at around 6:00 PM today! Today is the only day having a little sunshine and a clear sky for this week (all raining and showers every other day). So I set the new lens on my z6ii and went outside hoping to catch some night sky...

    Sell or keep?

    Z20mm f1.8S for day and nightscape. I already have z 24-120mm f4S which is used for all-around work so far.

    Sell or keep?

    The verdict is odd: sell x3, keep x3, and 1 neutral. So I have to give my own vote: sell. Thank everyone. I made the trade-in and ordered the new z lens today! Now shipping the trade-in items was a big hassle needing a big packing box and packing material (though I have both original product...

    Z6ii ordered.

    OH, OW ... Are you saying you can install two batteries into z6ii? And it will use them until both are out of juice? This is great news! Thank you, Roy. But how do you know the first one runs dry and need to be recharged? update: If talking about the power pack or grid, forget my post.

    ML Z + long lens + gimbal

    I have been checking on this one for a while, but couldn't plunge for it. The reason is according to quite a few user reviews, this one uses heavy thick sticky grease applied to the pivots causing the head very stiff to make all movements. Neewer now offers a new model GM101 which uses different...

    Sell or keep?

    Thanks, Brent, for your reminder. Maybe I need a spare for my z6ii, but then D3500 is not exactly a spare. It can't replace z6ii. I hope and pray that my z6ii won't need any major work for a while as that's the case with my 3-year-old D3500:) And no, I won't sell my Sigma for at least a while...

    Sell or keep?

    Hi, First, if here is not the right place to post the question, please move to the right place. Currently, I am looking to add a new z lens (20mm f1.8S) to my z6ii for nightscape and general scene photography. After reviewing my old system (D3500), I feel that selling or trading old gear could...

    Post your Birds in Flight

    I saw your exif showing focal length=70mm. Thought after cropping, the focal length shown in exif would stay original? Wrong?

    How close were you to the bird? The focal length is only 70mm.
