    Telescope to attach Z7 to

    Lisa, I wish there could be a simple answer for such a simple question. I do not own a telescope, but I have done some of the research. I simply use my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 and Sigma 150-600mm C to do my DSO work (Deep Space Object). In a generic explanation, you need a T-adapter for Z-mount...

    D850 Live View?

    Reading the liveview section in my D750 manual, I'm hoping it is similar. You move the focus point around the screen with the D-pad, and pressing OK will center it. If you are in face-detect mode, it will try to find a face and move to that. I kind of suspect from your description that you...

    Interchanging Lens

    Yes and no to varying degrees. On the current mirrorless Z-mount bodies, with the FTZ adapter they work but cannot autofocus. DSLR bodies: Check for the models that have the screw drive autofocus motor in them. This is basically the prosumer level bodies and better bodies. D850 D810 D7500...

    I need location data written to exif when the picture is taken.

    I've looked, KEH has 1 unit, but you would need to confirm the connecting cable. When new there were 2 cords included needed for most Nikon cameras. Your D7200 will use the small rectangular connector and not the round connector. Several ebay listings I see are only including 1 cable, and often...

    I need location data written to exif when the picture is taken.

    Nikon made a solution but it's long out of production. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_GP-1 Try to search the normal used gear retailers such as MPB or KEH for a GP-1.

    Z5 LCD Display - Busy

    I think it disappears when you turn off bracketing.

    Z5 LCD Display - Busy

    I looked up the online manuals for the Z7II and Z8. Z7II has about the same display options. Z8 has more display options and you can customize which modes you have available to scroll though with the DISP button. But a plain display with no icons or only a few limited icons in display is not...

    Z5 LCD Display - Busy

    I don't know of making the view even more simple for Z5. I know the higher models have the extra display on top for showing all that data and maybe can turn it off in view mode. Personally I use the histogram view.

    Vote for Weekly Photo Challenge Mar 5th - Mar 11th "Half."

    Thank-you! Bit ashamed to admit, but I have been making these night-day images for 20 years now. I pioneered the technique using a Coolpix 995 and learned new tricks and ways to smooth out the transition over time. I kind of needed to make a photo of the newest watch I had. :) This was the...

    Post Your Black and Whites Photos!!

    You may wonder, but that was the only angle. I needed to step back and use telephoto also to compress background some. Behind me busy highway with an unappealing bridge, right was neighborhood homes, left parking lot and supermarket plus gas station.

    I'm searching for circles for the weekly challenge today and instead find a fiberglass bird. Infrared photos desaturated to B/W. My D600 is converted to 720nm IR.

    Upgrade from Z5 to Z6ii

    Yes, you can recycle an SD for slot 2, but you won't want to use that for your only card. Slowest transfer rate option. XQD card is the fastest option and what you want to maximize the burst speed. https://www.nikonproductsupport.com/s/article/Approved-Memory-Cards-Z-7II-and-Z-6II?language=en_US

    You have a nice start going. Spring can be challenging to find outside subjects. Keep it up!

    Upgrade from Z5 to Z6ii

    If you want the higher frame rate, I would say yes. But I just have a Z5 also. What I really wanted to point out is that the viewfinder blackout is optional in the Z5. The factory default setting is a freeze-frame view. I found it disorientating to track things with the freeze so chose a...

    Tripod and use the self timer is basically all that is required for night landscapes. For a start anyhow. ;)
