What a great project!

It's been available for a while; just not publicized - https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/veterans_military

OWC.com is a great source for used/refurbished Macs...very reliable and reputable.

Why not just take a manual writing instrument (pen & ink) and actually write your signature on the print - there are all sorts of suitable pens/markers with various color ink options available - simple, affordable and personal!

Thanks for posting - just fascinating to watch!

The visible portion of the solar disk is over exposed. Shoot in manual, set the metering mode to "spot" and aim the camera so that the metering spot is centered on the visible portion of the solar disk.

What would have been amazing was not to mix units - the frame size that the Z6 would default to with a DX lens is 24mm x 16mm (3936 x 2624 pixels). The most common myth I hear is that a DX lens won't work - they probably will work, but some maybe with limited functionality!

I moved from a D7200 to a Z6ii this past June and have the FTZ adapter. If you put a DX lens on, the frame size goes from 36mm x 24mm to 3936mm x 2624mm. The DX lens is designed to cover the DX sensor which is smaller than an FX. See page 753 in the Z6 manual.

I do have some FX glass (not Nikkor) and they work wonderfully with the Z6. I really like the Z6!

Watch for the girl in the flat-bed Ford!

If you have time, head to Mt. San Jacinto State Park and take the tram up to the top (dress warmly). Beautiful vistas!

Priceless! well done!

Hi there - I have had this lens for about 5 years and first bought it to use with my Nikon D7200. I now use it with the Nikon FTZ adapter on my Nikon Z6ii. I get superb results with both bodies and also have the dock which I use to customize some of the shooting features. However, I do not use the dock to "fine tune" focussing. Rather I use Reikan FoCal software to accomplish this task. As I recall, Focal will "advise" the user what distance to place the target at. I does vary with the focal length the lens is set at. I usually fine tune at the min and max focal lengths.

It is my understanding that the focal length is 600mm...the field of view on an APS-C camera body, however, looks as if a 900mm lens is being used. The magnification of the lens is still that of a 600 mme lens whether it;s on a full-frame or a crop sensor body.

It doesn't matter - her train is dragging!

Spectacular!
