Hello!
This is my first post. Hello all!
I wanted to get into photography (finally) Jan '24 after 8 to 10 years of thinking about it - lol. At that time, the Sony A series was all the rage as they were the only ones doing mirrorless with small body. I didnt want to take the dive into it for $$ reasons.......Fast forward to today....
I did some homework and landed on the Z8. I purchased it with the 4/ 24-120 S lens and then bought the 40/2 prime. A great deal came across for the 35/1.8S so I have that too.
My goals:
-Street photography
-Wildlife
-catch all.....a camera to do it all.
-minimal video.
I bought the Z8/Z9 guide from the owner of this site and am about 80% through it. I have also watched all of Hudon Henry's setup videos. So far, I have gone from knowing 0 about how to use the camera to I would say 40 to 50%. Still an "F", but I think I am slowly getting it. Again, I have 0 background in this, so it has been a steep learning curve to say the least.
-----------------------
Which brings me to my question.......
What would be a logical next logical choice? I was thinking about the NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S as it would be great for the reach.
Thoughts?
