True. This is the OEM, fullsized Bridgestone that has never seen the light of day. Subaru is pedantic about not mixing brands of tires, sizes, tires with different amounts of wear, etc., and insists that you change 1 you change all 4. So far I've been lucky with flats (none) and will treat the antique rubber as an emergency donout!
It’s gonna be fun to watch the reviews. Though I’ve always had an 85, it’s just never been a focal length I’ve jelled with.
I would agree but I would also get them to look at Fuji if the didn't specifically want FF
Rumour of a Nikon Z camera grip, unfortunately not seen or heard of since the launch, and it wasn't going to be like the D series grips so would lack functionality. However it hasn't been mentioned since so it may have been scrapped or is being re-designed.
Yes!!!!!
I thought in your prior car analogy of 'one battery one gas tank' post you meant for cameras 'one battery one memory card' is plenty, which I agree with.
I agree. However, the duplicate controls on a vertical grip are a must for me. As an example, the vertical grip on my D7000 does not require using a second battery. I don't even remember whether it allows using a second battery, as I have used only one in the 8 years I have owned it.
A vertical grip is the one thing that I don't want, I had them years ago on my cameras as I shot a lot of spot but as my interests have changed this is something that I am happy to give up. Nowadays I want quality in a smaller camera size, but we are all different and have varying needs.
What an over generalization. My wife is a pro shooter who switched from D810 to Z7. She desperately waits for the new 70-200/2.8, and she is is very positive about her Z 24-70/2.8.
I agree with your Walter, I'm not sure what Martin is talking about. I have seen several pros add Z-cameras to their kits. While I'm not a fully time pro, I do shoot for two local papers and have added the Z6 to the equipment I use when covering sports.
Overgeneralized and under informed from everything I’ve read. The Z may not have been universally adopted, but many of the pros I follow are shooting them regularly.
I switched from an 850 to Z7 (shoot professionally) and 6 of my counterparts have done the same ; some from competitors brands. Several after having shot with me and playing with the Z7 during the shoot. It has been well received by those I know personally.
He also says on page 503 of his Z6/7 guide,
I'm quoting the many many comments from pro photographers on forums, in the press, on YT, all of whom wouldn't move to the Z cameras because of; lack of eye focus, poor AF tracking, poor buffer rates, single slot memory card, expensive memory cards, no grip. All of these and many more issues were deemed by numerous pros' as reasons not to move to the Z system. I'm only repeating what I've read and comments that have been made to me.
I think there is a lot of sampling bias going on . . . coupled with internet echo chamber along with some really sketchy reviews. Do pro's use the Z? Honestly who cares?
