Nikon Zfc - Back Button focus?
Thanks for this. I have not been able to set BB focus on my Z50 - now it is set.

Nikon Z Series - Nikon Z 50
I have a D850 and the Z50. I love the D850 and all of it's features (like focus stacking). I bought the Z50 as a "walk-around" camera and I also bought the 18-140 lens. It is a lot lighter than the D850, but it doesn't have in body stabilization and it is a cropped frame sensor. Over-all good quality mages, but not exceptional. If I want really good quality images I use the D850. I am not sure the Z50 is a good replacement for the D850. I think the Z7 would be a better replacement as it is also a full frame.

Question on Nikkor AF-S FX 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR
Great lens. I use mine with a monopod - that takes care of the weight.

Maybe a dumb question…but

I own the Nikon z50 with its 2 kit lens package (14-50mm and 50-250mm) which make wonderful images when I use them locally. I want to get one lens for travel that would make my bag light and portable, and am toying with the 18-140mm or the 24-200mm z lens. They are both full frame and the z50 is a crop sensor. Both have great reviews, but since I will be using this for travel and shooting mostly streets, architecture, people, and landscapes-typical travel stuff, I want to get the most versatility out of the lens.

I am leaning toward the 18-140 @ $600, but the 24-200 might be a better choice for the reach. It is a bit more expensive, but I am willing to spend it if it is a better option.

Thoughts?

I have the Z50 with the 18-140z lens. A great combination for walk-around or travel.

Z50
I have a Z50 (to go along with my D500 & D850). The Z50 is a good introduction to mirrorless. I find the sensor in the Z50 is amazing (better than then one in the D500). I also like the 16-50 "pancake lens especially for street photography. I bought a Z18-140 DX lens (used frim B & H), which make the Z50 a great walk-around and travel camera.

Should I buy Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mk III
Take a look at the Nikon Z50, which is a crop frame mirrorless. Comes with a 16-50 "pancake" lens, also has a 50-250 lens available. Small. light and a great sensor. Check out Ken Rockwell's review. I use it for street photography mostly, but also it lives in my car so I always have a camera available. I have added it to my D850 and D500.

Sensor Cleaning Question???
I use the Aurora Sensor Cleaning Kit. It has both wet (pre-moistened) and dry individually vacuum sealed swabs. Available from JCristina.com. Work well on my Nikon DSLR's.

Histogram on Nikon D850 LCD
My D850 is set to shoot in RAW. I know the display on the LCD on the back of the camera is a JPEG, but does the histogram reflect the JPEG or the full RAW file?

D780 vs D850 or Z
I went from a D750 to a D850 and I was amazed at the low light performance and the ability to crop the image. Also, the focus stacking feature works very well.

A Horror Story
In my car, I always keep my camera and bag on the floor behind the driver's seat. That way it can't fall any further.

Seattle and Olympic Peninsula
Don't forget to check out the west coast of Washington - Rialto Beach and Ruby Beach are both photographic "gems".

Improving Sharpness...one quick suggestion (Thanks Moose Peterson)
Have you tried back button focus? I have found that my keeper rate is near 90% since I have started to use this. Keep the focus separate from the shutter.

Tamron 150-600mm for Nikon
i have this lens and use it on a D7100. Works amazingly well. I have fine-tuned the AF (very little adjustment). Since it is a problem with 2 bodies, you should probably send it back to Tamaron.

Whats your favorite lens for Olympus OMD Micro 4/3
The M.Zuiko 14-150 is a great lens for my EMD-10. I also have a M. Zuiko 9-18 that covers the rest. I rarely use my 14-42, but it is also a good lens.
