    Awesome! Looks like correct number of digits on the hands, that has been a thing with AI generated images.

    7Artisans 35mm f/5.6 pancake lens for Z-mount

    And here I overlook the marsh. Just the 7Artisans lens, other visitors blocked the scene as I changed lenses. I pretty much nailed focus on this Little Library and it shows on the 1:1. Pretty nice for what is basically a novelty lens. Briefly, I do have a purpose in mind for this lens...

    7Artisans 35mm f/5.6 pancake lens for Z-mount

    Different angle on the scupture with the full scene. No 1:1 crops here. Starting with the unaltered jpeg files and then the fully processed RAW files. With the sun behind clouds here, less differences are there to see.

    7Artisans 35mm f/5.6 pancake lens for Z-mount

    A steel sculpture, first the jpeg files straight from camera and resized smaller. Now the RAW images from both lenses with the full adjustments I would normally make. And I am cropping in to 1:1 for pixel-peeping the details. So apologies for not noticing that I had Exposure Compensation...

    7Artisans 35mm f/5.6 pancake lens for Z-mount

    This won't be an in-depth review, but let's dive in and see some actual real-world photos and try to compare to a baseline Nikon lens. 7Artisans 35mm f/5.6 full-frame lens for mirrorless. This is a full manual pancake-style lens with a fixed f/5.6 aperture. No AI, manual focus and an integrated...

    Picture dates on Z50

    Did you not answer your own question by stating you know how to set date and time on camera? It is not necessary to set correct time.

    Nikon d3100 F- - -

    My D7000 had a way of erroring like that during long exposures at night, in the dark. The battery ran low with the mirror up. I would have to actually push the shutter release after changing the battery to correct the error. Ruined a couple of astrophotography nights until I worked that out.

    Are Trumps tariffs affecting lens prices?

    Nikon was running discount pricing in March. I expect the Z105mm was included, and $200 sounds about right compared to past years.

    Nikon d3400 black screen help!

    I am taking a guess that the shutter is sticking closed on the black images. Using the viewfinder, you are looking through the lens off the mirror in front of the shutter, so if it sticks closed the sensor sees nothing. Set to LiveView, apparently it can open the shutter and hold it open, but...

    Telescope to attach Z7 to

    I used to watch Trevor's (astro backyard) videos regularly. In the early years he was using more basic gear but he leveled-up a lot over the years. I will politely say Trevor gets pretty geeky in his processing and I do a lot less. No darks or flats, I use Siril to stack and process mostly and...
