I recently sent my 750 in for premium maintenance WITH a body cap, no battery, no strap and it had a shutter count of around 75k ish. I got back a 750 without a body cap, WITH a battery, WITH a strap and a shutter count of 11k ish… a 50mm 1.8g was included too. This new 750 has a different...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Nikon Z9 and excitedly updated it to the 4.0 version of the software. That's the most up-to-date as far as I'm aware. I've had it "freeze" on me twice so far, which I'm not too concerned about (maybe I should be). But I've noticed a bug on a few different...

Has anyone heard if Nikon will be addressing the overheating issue in camera shooting mode? I experienced this (yes it was hot outside), but only taking small bursts of like 5pfs maybe 10fps. And not for like 10 or 20 at a time.

I am going to Lake Clark in Alaska and dealing with equipment travel limitations weight limits on small planes as well as my desire to get the best, sharpest photos of bears possible. I am a dedicated prime lens photographer whose go-to equipment is a Z9 and 800mm PF and previously a 600mm...

Hello, as per the title I'm deciding on my next move in equipment, I'm currently "in-between" my big lens, and as I am relatively new and don't have an endless pocket I can only really afford upgrades far apart. My setup was a D500 and an older 500mm prime, but as the big lens has been returned...

I’m currently a Canon shooter but I’m not particularly happy with the camera and lenses for wildlife. I have a R6 mark II, RF 100-500, 1.4 extender, and 800 f11. I’m looking for a stacked sensor, higher mp, and better glass, so Nikon sounds like a a good choice, particularly with the...

Beware - this a speculative post ;):) .... One gap in the telephoto options of Nikon's Greater Ecosystem is a super telephoto zoom [chart / map appended for comparisons]. Yes, there's the roadmapped 200-600 in Z-mount but as it stands it's not a S Line optic, so we have zero clue about its...

Yesterday I was out to do some shorebird photography with by beloved Nikon 500mm F4. during this session I heard a noise when I opened the diafragma from F8 to F4, after some testing I came to the conclusion that a soft noise appears in the switching from F5.6 till F4 and vice versa. every...

Hi folks, I currently own a Nikon 500 pf that I pair with Z9. I am considering switching to Z 400 f4.5 with 1.4x TC after selling the 500PF. A few Youtube reviews that I have seen suggest that the 400 f4.5 with 1.4x tc in place is considerably sharper than the 500 pf with the added benefit of...

Interesting besides the usual provocative statements by Thom Hogan. Beyond brand differences etc, are old inadequacies that still persist - in Size and Control mainly. Quality has been less issues. I agree it's major aspects of Control that remains unresolved by camera makers...

Hi All, I have been using my Nikon 200 to 500 mm lens for years with no problems.... except I've now noticed that when using Lightroom (Library details of the image) the lens focal length only states 480mm - has anyone any ideas why this should happen? As I say the lens is working fine and...

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. :)

Hello everyone! I am a Z6II Owner that enjoys shooting sports and wildlife and encountered a strange behavior on firmware v1.40 on my Z6II. While shooting with a 70-200 F2.8 Z lens on Continuous H (extended), I noticed that after a random period of time, the camera will be shooting at a much...

I have all of Steve's books (except the A1 one), watched all of his videos, and think he is one of the best, if not the best, at explaining how to get better wildlife images. Steve, however, has now expressed a preference for Sony gear (compared to the Z9 "the A1 is the best for my needs," "the...

Fair amount about the 400 f2.8S TC, including very fast and highly precise AF.... and interview with Brad Hill on Z9 etc
