Thanks, Fred. When you are editing in LR on your laptop screen can you see all of Your LR window and controls and the photo you are editing? I’m concerned the photo will be smaller and more difficult to edit. How have you found editing on a laptop as compared to a desktop Mac?


You can buy a fair sized desk top display for not much money now days. The one I purchased can swivel 90º for your portrait work, and Mac makes it easy to add a display.
Now that I am getting older and having more trouble with my eyes it is not a luxury it a necessity.

Is “anti-vib.” yet another Nikon-specific term????


I don't know. It might just be my sloppy nick name.

The seeds of this compatibility issue were planted years ago. But, the other thinking asks: what do you need a mirrorless camera for? With models like the D750 and D850, built to last for the long haul, why the lust for a mirrorless and more lenses, lust so strong you'd look at other brands?


Anti-vib. is driving my GAS problem. The suggestion to "not get old" has failed me, so I need help getting sharp images. If not for that issue, one that I see getting worse every year, I would be happy with the equipment I have now.
Back to my original post. If I'm going to spend a bunch of money, I'm going to shop around and see what the other manufacturers have to offer.

You might be misunderstanding mirrorless cameras and a new lens-mount? Nikon's F-mount presents some compatibility issues, but the FTZ adapter, literally F to Z, keeps your F-mount lenses viable on the new mirrorless cameras. "Viable" in the sense you understand older AF-capable lenses may function only as MF on a mirrorless.

All your AF-S lenses will fully function on a mirrorless Nikon body via the FTZ adapter. So, you're not forced to buy new lenses to use a new mirrorless body. Also, buying a mirrorless body does nothing to your DSLRs. They don't explode into dust, nor otherwise suddenly stop working. As mentioned, you may need to assess your older lenses prior to AF-S, if their AF capability is critical. These might be candidates to update directly to mirrorless versions, maybe not.
You might be misunderstanding mirrorless cameras a... (show quote)


Sorry but you need to dig a little deeper. I looked up all my lens and I have only two that would work satisfactory on the adapter. The rest would have short comings like no autofocus. with Nikon you always have to dig a little deeper.

#2: The Nikon Z9 will be a backup camera for the Z8


I'm looking at thing a little differently.

I've used Nikon since 1971. I have / had strong brand loyalty primarily because of the backwards compatibility with all my lenses.

Nikon has now set me free to shop other camera brands. It would be a rather large financial jump to go forward with Nikon because it won't be just a camera, but also more lenses plus an adapter.

Maybe its time to take that money and see what I can get with it at Canon or Sony.

The Republican Party has lost its way. It used to stand for fiscal conservatism, support for law enforcement general conservative values. Unfortunately, they've jumped the shark and now stand for neo-nazi, white supremacy.
Really quite sad.


Divide and conquer Frank. What the government knows best. Don't be mad at just one party, lets clean out the crooks in both parties and then see how things look.

It sometimes looks like the Republican Party and Democratic Party are in a race to see which can reach the bottom first. Right now I think it is a dead heat!

In our area some businesses are adding 4% to your bill if you use a credit card. Just today my dog groomer has joined that group. I thanked her for screwing her customers. I told her her tip would be 4% less. I’m no longer doing business with those businesses that screw me over. Not sure if this is a nationwide trend or just here in liberal sucking California.
Has anyone else seen this practice?


I once owned a small business and have nothing but bad feelings towards the credit card companies. The fees I was charged ran from 3.5 % to 7.5% The card companies explanations on the fees were laughable. On some sales the card company made more money than our company did.
Seems like every customer is only interested in a low price which means markups have been cut to nothing.
So the question is, after the store pays for the merchandise then the 4 to 7 % to the card companies how much is left to pay employees, rent, utilities, you get the idea.
Lastly, There is a store I use a lot and I know what his markup is, its piss poor so I always go in with cash.
Go back and apologize to your dog groomer and see if you can work out a cash deal.

Seems you are taking this to the extreme.

In order for humans to live together, there has to be ethics and morals... which come down to laws.
Would hate to vision what this world would be like if there were no guidelines.


Who thought of the guidelines and wrote them down? Why should we care what they think and want? I just want to do as I please!

Just a thought experiment for you since you say you are an atheist. Can you put forth a logical and moral reason why rape is wrong?


Good question, I'm looking forward to the answer.

I have a beautiful old volume of Thomas Nast’s political cartoons going back to the civil war. Seems to me the swamp has always been there.


Do you retie your shoe when it becomes untied or do you think,"why bother it will just come untied again" ?
