Sanlúcar de Barrameda last summer DSC_4217c by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

Quite a lot of peoples replies are slightly annoying. I didn't ask whether Z mount lenses are better or sharper than F mount. I didn't ask whether I should adapt F mount to Z body or not. I didn't ask whether F mount lenses are good or not. The question is quite specific and it's about...

If Nikon wants us to use F mount lenses but only manually focus them maybe they should implement a split prism viewfinder in software.

So if you all think that F mount lenses are so rubbish then why did Nikon make an FTZ adapter at all?

I'm still annoyed that Nikon hasn't made an FTZ with a focus motor to drive the screw drive on AF/AF-D lenses. It's one of the road blocks that's stopping me going from an F mount body to a Z mount. I found out yesterday that there is a Megadap adapter (MTZ11) that converts Leica M to Z, and it...

Just some trees at the end of my road shot with the cheap 24-85 VR DSC_5621 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

well I went a bit rogue on you folks. I noticed that the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 VR is getting really cheap now. So I bought one on MPB as I can return it if I don't like it. I like it. So I always considered the D3100 to be quite a small camera. Here's the D750 vs the D3100:- 20231124_092039 by...

the ones from Kew Gardens are straight from the camera, I haven't edited them in any way. It's nice that the D750 jpegs can be so nice straight from the camera.

My original question was about a £200 to £300 camera. I'm simply not going to spend £2000 on a Z6ii combo. My "dream" camera right now is the ZF, but a dream is what it is. I had a lot of fun with the D750 with a couple of small primes in my pocket, and, it is a lot more portable. Not bad is...

There's some interesting points in your answers thanks. I hadn't really considered a Z50. Maybe I should. Compared to a D7200 I'll get what one or two stops better performance in low light? and a bigger viewfinder. The Z24-70 sounds interesting too. I went out this evening to a "light show"...

I compared a ZF with Z mount 24-120 F4 with my D750. It was exactly the same size. I would need £3000 to buy that rig. I really, really like the ZF, but I can't afford it, and it's no smaller. Having played with a ZF I'm not really interested in a Z5 or Z6.

Hi. I bought my D750 with the 24-120 f4 about four years ago, and I really enjoy it. Prior to that I had a D3100 with the 18-55 kit which I then passed down to my daughter. She now has a D700 so the 3100 is surplus to requirements. I also have Sony Nex-6 with the tiny PZ 16-50 which I bought...

yes I did a reset, and I found how to set the compensation and made sure it's set to zero (it was)

The read lines I mention above are a complete red herring and a very silly mistake on my part. The transmitter has a focus assist pattern that it's shining on the subject area and that's what I'm seeing through the viewfinder. How silly of me.

there is another weird thing. With the transmitter attached I get a red box showing me what the camera is focusing on (as normal) but the focusing area is also full of faint vertical and horizontal red lines in a or sort of chequeplate pattern.

Hi I bought a Yongnuo YN622N kit and I am struggling a bit with it. I have a Nikon D750 and SB-700 speedlight. Problem 1. it says in the instructions that to go from manual to TTL I need to long press the GP/mode button on the transceiver and set it to orange for manual or green for TTL. I...

There is something that I don't understand. On a DSLR a small proportion of light (if I understand correctly) goes through the mirror and hits a second mirror that points the image down to an AF sensor. This AF sensor detects whether light is in phase in specific focus points, or not, and if not...
