Since the new Nikkor Z 70-200 f/2.8S has been delayed, I've been thinking of alternatives. In addition to my Z-6, I'm shooting with a pair of D7100s and have the FTZ adapter. Should I grab a 70-200 2.8E FL ED VR or 70-200G ED VRII?
Or should I wait? I don't like changing lenses in the field.
I'm in Seattle... dramatic sunsets this time of year are mostly 51 shades of gray
I think dramatic sunsets would qualify, especially over a body of water with a reflective object...for both transition and displacement.
42...The answer to life, the universe, and everything. How long did it take for manual transmissions to go away once an automatic was developed? Yet one can still buy a car with a stick. Sensor size will still be the key, regardless.
Six months from now, someone will post the same question, and the answers will be the same.
I currently shoot with a Z6 and 2 D7100s and once I learned how to dial in my Z6, the quality of my images has improved dramatically. Customized settings for white balance, HDR, and color can be made before leaving for a shoot.
Two things, United's lowest fare economy tickets do not include a carry on beyond one personal item (purse, etc.) The next fare class will allow an additional carry on. The AMT to send your gear separately or rent when you get there is about the same as the upgraded fare. With that being said, they're not going to check if you have one carry on or two... they're too busy at the gate!
I live in Seattle and now when I travel to major cities for shoots, I rent the gear I don't want to or can't take on a plane. Glazer's in Seattle has a rental Dept and if you pick up a tripod on Friday and return it on Sunday, they'll only charge you for one day!
If your local camera store has a rental program, I'd take advantage of it. They usually apply rental fees toward purchases, but if they don't, you'll still have a better idea of which brand DSLR tool you'll want to buy.
