    Angelbird CFExpress Cards and Nikon Z6ii - my positive experience

    I recently had "Hot Card" issues with my SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro CFE card while recording video and after doing some research I settled on replacing it with an AngelBird 160GB AV PRO SX for about $180. I was very impressed with the Angelbird support for pre sales questions. I had someone...

    Nikon 200-500 5.6 VR, picture quality degradation after using with the TC 14E iii

    Can any one please help me here, My 200-500 mounted on my D500 was working brilliantly with amazing micro-contrast, until I added 1.4 TC iii to it.. the pictures were soft (I shoot raw). I took the kit to Nikon Service, and asked them to do whatever is needed to make my pictures sharp. They did...

    Nikon D500, BIF-AF issue

    While I'm more than happy with the AF performance of my combo D500 paired with the 300mm f4 PF, there is one scenario where it most of the time fails. Almost every time I try to activate the AF on a flying dark bird with a grey or blue sky as background, the AF seems just like not trying to get...

    My next first

    Just about a month ago I posted my first Great Horned Owl that I photographed. Well, yesterday I got to spend about an hour in the presence of a pair of Barred Owls. They were in dense young forest. I had a lot of fun TRYING to make images of them, but really struggled to find clearings in all...

    Fueling the Addiction-My first Owl

    Starting very early in my childhood, I have always had a thing for one particular type of bird, Owls. Their ability to hide in plain sight, see perfectly at night, and attack their prey silently is amazing and beautiful. The story that follows is my first (successful) effort, specifically to...

    D500+200-500 w/1.4tc have you tried it?

    So as you can see in the title, I am just trying to get a bit more reach. I know Steve doesn’t recommended it but for the price($125) I could get it for I thought I would give it a try. I borrowed a friends 14 tc it is a series 1 and had disastrous results. Everything was out of focus. Do I have...

    D500 + Z5 or switch to Z6

    I think that I know the answer to this question but maybe I just need a sanity check. I currently have a D500, 16-80, 50 1.8, AF-P 70-300, & 200-500 5.6. I enjoy shooting wildlife but it is not my primary hobby. I want to have a smaller camera with EVF for family events, vacations, etc. I...

    1.4TC?

    Hi, looking for input specifically on the follow combination if possible, or if not then general input. I use Nikon D500 with Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens for wildlife. Most of the time I am at 600mm, manual setting on f6.3, shutter varies to suit and auto-ISO. When I put the Sigma 1.4TC...

    Zoom lens recommendations?

    I've just purchased my first DSLR, a Nikon D500 with the 300mm f/4 PF ED VR lens. In looking for a second lens to complement the 300mm, I find myself boggled by the number of choices. My criteria are not too heavy (preferably less than 600 g), wide angle to short telephoto (20–100ish range), but...
