Z6ii, 24-200mm lens

You were correct. Once I downloaded the firmware update and extracted the "bin" file and presented it alone to the camera, it permitted the update to take place. Thanks for your suggestion and assistance.

Recently purchased new Z6ii (upgraded from Z50) however find that my FTZ adapter which was used on the Z50 required a firmware update to be operational with the new body. I was able to download the update from the Nikon website but the camera will not allow its installation. On the camera's menu, the C firmware is labeled 1.10 and the MA firmware is labeled as -- -- and there is no option for updating it even when the SD card with the new firmware is inserted into the camera. Is there a Z6ii firmware update that I need to perform first before attempting to install the FTZ update?

Appreciate the update. Thanks.

What would you like to know about it?

Nikon Lenses:

1. Nikon AFS 18-35mm F3.5-4.5 G lens - purchased new in May 2014 along with a Promaster 77mm UV filter for $859 total. Used sparingly over the years and willing to sell for $300 plus shipping. Excellent condition without lens imperfections. Box, manual, lens hood and filter included.

2. Nikon AFS 80-400 F4.5-5.6 ED G VR lens - purchased used approximately 4 years ago in fair condition for $800. Rarely used (I preferred the 200-500mm Nikon lens). Has lens hood and Promaster 77mm UV filter as well. Willing to sell for $400 plus shipping.

3. Tamron AF 90mm F2.8 1:1 Macro lens. I purchased from Amazon in 2013 for $429. (At the time it was a bargain but only because it was a "gray market" lens which I knew nothing about at the time. Soon the Auto focus function stopped working and I have been unable to persuade Amazon or Tamron to repair it) Thus it is now a manual focus lens (even though has extremely good image quality) which I no longer use. Willing to sell this for $100 plus shipping.

That is correct. It is the G2 version of their lens and you have the other specifications correct.

I am responding for Larry and you may continue to contact me. The lens will fit on your 7500 and this telephoto lens has a much greater reach on a DX body which is a nice advantage. The price is $750. He will accept Venmo or Zelle or cashier’s check. It is a very nice lens.

Hi Vicki,
I am a friend of Larry's and see that in his original ad, his email was incorrectly listed. You can contact him at:

I found your advertisement for this lens on Ugly HH and see that there have been no offers nor notes sent to you regarding the sale...Bruce

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will likely receive another economic stimulus.
It is indeed a very exciting program, and I’ll explain it by using a Q&A format:

Q: What is an Economic Stimulus?
A: It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q: Where will the government get this money?
A: From taxpayers.

Q: Is the government simply giving me back my own money, then?
A: No, only a smidgen of it.

Q: What is the purpose of this payment?
A: The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high definition television set, a new iPad, or a new SUV, thus stimulating the economy.

Q: Isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?
A: Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U. S. Economy with your stimulus check. Use it wisely:

* If you spend the stimulus money at Walmart , the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.
* if you spend it on gasoline, t he money will go to the Arabs.
* if you purchase a computer, it goes to India, Taiwan , or China.
* if you purchase fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
* if you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.
* if you purchase useless stuff, it goes to Taiwan.
* if you pay your credit card off or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money in America by:

(1) Spending it at a yard sale, or
(2) Going to a ballgame, or
(3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
(4) Beer, Jack Daniel's, or
(5) Tattoos
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.)

CONCLUSION: Go to a ballgame with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale, and drink beer all day.

No need to thank me, I’m just glad I could be of help. Offering you a bit or cheer.

I have the 16-50 and 50-250 Z mount lens but the 50-250 does not open enough for landscape and I have run into dust issues on my sensor (in the Middle East) occurring when changing lenses in the field. Still looking for the single lens solution for travel for those reasons. Thanks.
