    When patience pays off

    I found this branch and really wanted to photograph it with a bird. It took over 3 hours before I got my photo, but I think it was worth the wait 😊 Shot with the Nikon Z9 and 800mm PF.

    Cleaning Z9 body

    Hi to everyone, I recently saw on YouTube a post from Nikon Europe about cleaning the Z9 body to give it his as new aesthetics. They use the Kent all purpose foam cleaner to do so. This product come from Europe and is not available in Canada. Do anybody knows a similar product who would safely...

    MH 33 Charger, the last led never stop blinking

    Hi Community , I got my Z9 last month and have probably charged the included EN-EL18d battery less than 10 times. I've noticed that the last lights on the MH-33 charger never keep a continue lit, even if left charging for many hours -- instead, it reaches a state where the 50% and 80% charge...

    Z9 review by Photography Life Team

    This link is shared in the long official Z9 thread, but many Nikonians will probably agree it deserves a dedicated thread. They must have invested months of work in their testing and writing. https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-z9

    TEST - using an older AF-S G lens with AF-S TCs on the Z9

    I happen to own both the Stubby AF-S 200mm f/2.0 G VRII ED, all 3 TCs and a Z9 - In response to a question I performed a simple test - NO TC, 1.4TC, 1.7TC, 2.0TC. The first 3 shots were taken at 3.9m and the final one (with the 2 times TC) at 4.47m to ensure the test target was in the frame...

    Z9 + 400 4.5 + TC1.4

    I know some of you are interested how this setup performs. I took it out in the evening yesterday and this morning & so far I'm very pleased. The lens balances really well on the Z9, it's great to ditch the FTZ. No super exciting species but hopefully the samples below will help in judging the...

    Need quick primer on Z9 video for dummies!

    I know ElenaH just posted a similar question but she is way more advanced with video than me. I will confess I know ZERO about video, it's always intimidated me. But I am leaving for Kenya in just a few days and it occurred to me I'd like to try and shoot at least a few short clips with my Z9...

    F mount lenses on z9

    I was very encouraged on a recent outing with the recently delivered z9 and my f mount lenses. I was unable to find some of the below listed lenses on the compatibility charts I had researched and was therefore a little anxious to see if they would work appropriately. Turns out all my sigma...

    DX mode on the Z9

    I never really bothered with DX mode on my D850 but I am now realising that on the Z9 it is a much more compelling proposition that I am now using a lot and loving. Z9 specific advantages: 1. Viewfinder and screen displays are automatically zoomed in so DX mode fills the visible frame 2. Small...

    Plants

    Nikon knocked it out of the park with this 105 Z macro lens. :) I'm just starting to dabble with macro & I'm super pleased with the performance. These are all handheld - I'll play with tripod & stacking on a non-windy days. :)

    Dead Z9 Battery Charger

    So...after months of waiting, I picked up my Z9 today. Rushed home ... unboxed faster than Jared Polin, plugged the charger into the wall, inserted the battery, and ... NOTHING. No blinking lights, no nothing. Verified socket worked ... nothing. Tried another socket ... nothing. Inserted battery...

    Z9 Firmware 2.0: feedback on AF, RSF...

    It is great the current Nikon flagship has improved significantly. Here's a couple of initial observations after install and setup... 1. Initial testing suggests customizing one of the Wide-Custom AF modes to Single-Point with Subject-Detection has significant potential. As found previously...
