[QUOTE="Sabrina Burns, post: 832697, member: 60577"] Hello, I’m new here! I started my photography journey with a D3400, Nikon 18-55mm kit lens and a Nikon 70-300mm zoom about 6-7 years ago….. and I was hooked straight away! I’m very into wildlife photography but also love aviation :) it wasn’t long before I wanted more reach, and not long after, an upgraded camera body. So for the last 5 years, I’ve been using a D500 with a Sigma 150-600mm contemporary lens (unfortunately I just don’t have the disposable income for a Nikkor telephoto!!). All equipment has been bought used, but all in like new condition. An amazing friend bought me a Nikkor 10-20mm landscape lens, and a work colleague sold me very cheaply her Nikkor 105mm macro that she never used! I have loved this set up and haven’t had any desire to go mirrorless, but just longed for silent photography for some of my subjects! The very same amazing friend then decided to surprise me with a second hand, like new, Z6 in February …. He’s a canon user so has no clue when it comes to Nikon, so was researching which body might be a good starting point for Nikon mirrorless. He also bought me the FTZ ii mount adapter so I could still use all my f mount lenses. It’s taken me a while to get used to the focus when using the Sigma lens, which I’m finding slower than the D500. But I LOVE that it’s silent! I love photographing hares and it really helps if they don’t know you’re there! I’ll attach one I took recently :) I’m currently having some trouble which has started in the last couple of weeks though, so I’ll make a separate post for that :) hoping someone will be able to help as I’m a bit baffled!
