Got my Z50

[Nikon-mike]

Just picked it up the twin lens kit, out of interest I tried the adapter and Sigma 100-400 it looked to work well, only tried in the shop as it is raining.

Hmm, all my cameras work in the rain...just sayin'

I agree---and they work in doors too!

My cameras also work well in the rain. The problem is getting my assistant aka wife to hold the umbrella for me.

I did point it out the front door for a B/W at 51200 ISO and to check the image stabilizing, 1/30th at 150mm handheld, this is a good result for my shaky hands.

Nice and wet, dark, dreary, but you don't care---you have a new Nikon. Thanks!

Nice, thanks - so taken 'in door'. Feel free to add more from 'in window'if it does not stop raining.

Having to stand under the balcony to keep out of the rain, subject choices are limited.

Thanks for your report and samples. How sharp wide open at longest end of both kit lenses?

I want to add the whole combo with two kit lenses to my Z6 system, but I'm not sure whether I buy them now or wait until Nikon has a good deal. This kit would replace my Z6 & 24-70/4S for travel.

These are plenty sharp and colorful. Much post-processing?

There's a pretty good deal available now...$150 off on the kit at B&H and probably elsewhere.

Image size reduction using Bilinear then about 20% unsharp mask

The red berries had NR applied to the background

The bottom two of the three images above are full telephoto (250mm) at f8, the 16-50 may be a while before it gets used.

I know that's a good deal if buy with two lenses, but I hope I can have a better deal in couple months, or this time next year . I usually pre-ordered (ex. Sony A7R3, Z6 kit, 85 1.8S) in the past but not this time because of loosing values too quickly... but NAS is hard to resist .
The Z50 and 16-50 is exactly what I want to replace my recently sold Fuji XT30 and 18-55 2.8-4. I got rid of Fuji system and from now on, only one Z mount system.

If the Z50 bodies are coming in at $856 USD now, in a few months they're bound to drop even lower. It's also rumored Nikon has more Z announcements coming after Christmas, so it looks like they're going full steam with the Z mount.

Cool, thanks! I think I can wait .

All the best to them, keep this stuff coming. Now for the 85/1.2

I think the deals will get better and fairly soon, ime not normally an early adopter but this time i traded my EM1MK11 which i bought at a discount and got double cash back, so i thought sod it.
