I agree. I'd also want one finished in flat black. I really don't like that silver/chrome one in the photos above.If it were me I would get a shorter screw that doesn't stick out like that and not over-tighten it.
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

It's really a non-issue. And, you're talking about "marking" the outer hood, you cannot dent or damage the lens in anyway.
That's very interesting! I'm sure B&H has likely ordered enough Z9's to cover their anticipated preorders, but how many will Nikon actually ship? Sounds like the employees you spoke to have some knowledge as to the number of cameras they will be receiving. I really hope this is the case. I placed an order for a Z9 about 30 minutes after B&H started selling them and have been worried that I won't see the Z9 until February or March.I called B&H today twice to get my order changed from 12 month no interest to 24 months. Two different employees "confirmed" that the order they're receiving from Nikon on the 15th will fill all their backorders as of today.
Here is an example of the NISI 14-24 filter holder marking the lens
I removed my hood to check, not a scratch anywhere from the screw. Again, you would have to really tighten the thing down to scratch into it.Non issue for me I buy stuff to use it not sell it.
*edit- you could probably take the screw out put it in a drawer and give two wraps of 3m super 88 to lock filter frame in place.
I am really interested in what people think and find out about the Z9 - perhaps some of this discussion is better served in another forum topic.

Very thoughtful and insightful observation. Thank you for posting the videos by Stephan Wiesner and the camera storeMost of the videos demonstrating BIF seems to have been done by folks with hardly any wildlife/BIF experience, with weird settings or wrong AF modes. Also, shot from a thousand mile away and most of the frames are anyway going to be in focus considering the DoF at such distances. I am really interested in seeing the hit rate on BIF at closer distances where the birds fill or are at least more than 1/2 of the frame.
So far there are just 2 videos below that demonstrate BIF nicely. The one by the camera store tv showing 420 frames of an incoming raptor at 120 FPS and the other one is by Stephan Wiesner.
Same here as far as why I buy my gear. Photographic equipment usually makes a lousy investment. Then again, I also like to keep my gear in top shape and try to always treat it kindly.Non issue for me I buy stuff to use it not sell it.

B&H has it listed as "Coming Soon", while Adorama has it listed with an expected in-stock date of December 18. That may leave some with an early Z9 order unhappy for three days, or so.Did anyone order from B&h or Adorama that can confirm this?
The new Nikon FTZ II adapter is now shipping - Nikon Rumors
The new Nikon FTZ II adapter is already shipping in several countries (I received reports from Canada and Taiwan) – check availability at: US: Adorama | B&H EU: WEX | Calumet | Foto Erhardt CA: Camera Canada Nikon FTZ vs Nikon FTZ II lens adapters Hands-on picture of the new Nikon Z9 camera, FTZ...nikonrumors.com
Of course if you happen to have an original FTZ, you can use that on the Z9. Not ideal for vertical orientation, but will do until you can get the FTZII.B&H has it listed as "Coming Soon", while Adorama has it listed with an expected in-stock date of December 18. That may leave some with an early Z9 order unhappy for three days, or so.

The eagle sequence is amazing. Any idea what AF mode it was shot with?
