Zoom lenses extend issues

The fact is that internal zooms also draw in and exhaust air when zoomed,

They can also be designed so that there is a balance between the areas so that nothing is drawn in or exhausted out, simply exchanged.

Then why all the panic

Is there no end to you drama? Peoples valid sensible concerns and awareness now become "panic" in you mind.

Cheers and best to you all

It's great to see such technology innovations.

How would I use it, take advantage of the higher flash sync speed availability in sports with severely backlit subjects faces.

Zoom lenses extend issues

Why do UHH people and reviewers panc over some zoom lenses that extend when zoomed out talking about dust and moisture as a fault.

If you used extending lenses in environments where they become subjected to horrendous fine dust, salt spray, rain and your own sweat you would understand the concerns, which are obvious.

Yet the Z 24-70mm f2.8 and Sony 24-70mm f2.8 trombone in and out when zoomed with no concerns expressed here Or in reviews. Would this not change balance and allow dirt and moisture in as the lens is zoomed?

Buyers have choices and the smart ones buy gear that gives them confidence in the situations they use it.

These are the quality of pictures I hope to take with my new Z50.

I'm sure you'll find that it can easily produce a superior quality than the examples posted.

Nikon does NOT charge for customer support

Can you lock the focal point? That is the question.

Oh no it's not.
Focal Point : 'the point at which rays or waves meet after reflection or refraction, or the point from which diverging rays or waves appear to proceed'.

Anyone with an opinion about the Nikon z6ii?

Are you using BBF?

I have used nothing but BBF for many years.
Bultaco wrote:
I always keep center point focus locked in the center,

Does that mean that you always focus and then recompose, or, that everything you ever photograph always has its plane of focus coinciding with the centre point?
Bultaco wrote:
if the Z6 won't lock shooting wildlife
is a BIG disadvantage.

I suppose it would be a BIG disadvantage to someone that did not consider centreing as they were putting the camera to their eye or not being aware what they were moving on the rear panel.

The Z6II is a big step up in AF capabilities over the Z6.

Hopefully it had improvements from the original with respect to the specific area I mentioned. What has your experience been with the Z6II with that type of subject coming fast towards you? That may be useful for the Op to know.
SuperflyTNT wrote:
Suffice it to say the Z6II is light years ahead of either of your F mount cameras, not only in AF, but many other areas.

You've lost me, what F mount cameras of mine are you referring to?

iPhone 15 vs Z7

Did you look at the roof tiles? How is that "close"?

Issues with stitched pans
manofhg wrote:
I shot several pictures that I was able to stitch together, but the resulting shot had a lot of circular patterns in the sky or that's where they are most noticed. I've attached one of the pans that has minimal PS work on it. I know there are many issues that need to be worked on, like spots and other things, but the patterns is what I don't know how to resolve or know exactly what caused them. I tried several times to also post a processed image that shows the patterns better, but for whatever the reason, UHH won't accept it saying there are internal errors. Yes, I've told the admin about it, but nothing resolved yet. If you take the attached, you can ramp up the "dehaze" and various other sliders in PS and see what I'm talking about. Anyone know the cause, solution, prevention? This is made from 7 images and there are probably 7 of the patterns in the pan, so it came from each individual image probably. Thanks for taking a look.

If you have LR or ACR open all your individual images in it together. Use the 'Colour Sampler' tool towards the top left and right corners at the same scene position of each to balance the difference in brightness between each caused by vignetting.

Since it is thru a single lens, I would expect you notice at once if it’s not in focus.

A competent photographer will notice if the 'focus point box' is not where he wants it, prior to whether he's going to notice if things are in focus or not.

You beat me to it. That is a disqualifier.

I would hardly quantify a 'slightly possible' inconvenience to some users as a "disqualifier". I've used the Z6 with it's single focus point that can possibly accidently be moved from its position taking hundreds of shots where I grab the camera hanging on my side and bring it to my eye with no real problem, awareness is all that's needed.

I have a D7100 and a D700, and am looking to move up a notch. I have many older Nikkor lenses and some newer ones like a Rokinon 8mm, a Tokina 100mm, and a Sigma C 150-600. I wonder if anyone can tell me their experiences with this camera, especially shooting with the FTZ converter.... Thanks for any advice. I see a used one up for sale at B&H for $1400.

Thanks for any comments and/or advice!

Joe

I have used the Z6 for years with both an S lens and the FTZ with various others.

The only real challenge scenario I have regularly used it for is photographing action sports, running, and its AF with respect to face/eye detection and subject tracking I have not been able to rely upon. I simply do not use that function and achieve great results using other AF modes. I recently purchased a Z8 for which its AF face/eye and 3D subject tracking can be 99% relied upon. Why I mention this is because I suspect this exact technology is likely to be used within a newer version of the Z6 when it comes out.

With respect to the Z6 ergonomics, controls on the rear right side are close, accidental movement of focus point can occur if you are not careful or have large hands. For many people this is not a concern, it simply takes one press of a button to re-centre the point.

It's a great camera, low light AF is magic and pic quality wonderful !

Sometimes spot is on wrong area of subject.

That's why we have been given the ability to move it.

With the Aquarium, the glass may be throwing off the focus due to refraction.

That's correct and can be a possible source of AF confusion.
