On my Nikon MC 105 G IF ED 2.8 lens stops down to f-3.2 when at minimum focus distance of 11"so maybe ??? If I back up say to eg., 18-24" it will open up to the f-2.8.

That is also what happens with my Nikon 105 macro, max aperture 'indicated' varies between MFD and Infinity. That is due to Nikons indicating the difference between 'actual' and 'effective' aperture.

But I'm not sure or have not noticed this on any of my non macro lenses.

I dont usually shoot wide open so never noticted my Nikkor 50mm f1.4 register f2.0-32 instead of f1.4 -22 and my 50mm f2.0 -16 register f2.8-22. is this because of the crop factor on my D7100?

Adjust your focus distance and see if there's a difference in indicated max aperture.

Based on what I've seen so far, I'm leaning toward the 105mm, f2.8 macro lens.

You can't go wrong starting off in the range 90 to105mm. A used Nikon 105 is also a good option as it can also be used with confidence if you eventually upgrade to a Z model.

According to this list there is a difference between "tethered capture" and "live view support". The Z8 is supposed to do capture but not live view.

That's correct.

Continuing on from my above post I decided to see what happens when I 'tether' the Z6 to the PC by cable and see what function/control LR Classic allows.

LR Classic recognises the pic files on the card, allowing direct importing and in addition allows 'tethered' control of the camera allowing it to be set in 'Live View' from LR and giving me control from LR of focus, speed, aperture, ISO and WB.

This confirms what Adobe advise, that the Z8 does not have this option.

I've tried several times with different cables but it's still pinning trying to detect my camera for almost an hour. Please any advice?


Decided to have a play and see if I could 'tether' my Z8 to LR Classic. Note, tethering the camera to my PC is something I have never done before and am unlikely to ever want to do. Prior to anything I updated LR Classic to latest version and my Z8 is on the latest version firmware.

What I discovered...................................

I connected camera to PC using the Nikon supplied USB C connector between camera and PC USB 3.

In LR Classic selected File/Tethered Capture/Start Tethered Capture. Waited ages but LR would not detect camera.

Looked at Windows Explorer and although the Z8 was recognised there were no subdirectories showing my pics. Did a 'Restart' of the PC and now the Z8 was showing plus its Subdirectories with my pic files.

Went into LR Classic and again it was unable to recognise the camera when I selected File/Tethered Capture/Start Tethered Capture.

Went to LR Classic Files/Import Photos and Videos and the Z8 was shown under 'devices' and there were all my pics that I was able to select and Import.

So all was well with the procedure of connecting the camera directly to the PC and LR Classic by cable to download pics as an option.

With respect to further 'tethering' options with LR Classic of which Live View Support is mentioned according to the Adobe info this is not available with the Z8.

The main reason is that he respects the president.

It's sad that there are people like you lurking around here.

How insulting. Ironically, many in the "JPEG is all you need" crowd wants us to believe that they are the ones being persecuted or maligned somehow.

Perhaps rather than showing your ignorance and producing such absolute rubbish suggesting that I'm insulting others you need to learn to not only read but also understand what you have read.

It has been irrefutably demonstrated right here on this thread that there are undeniable advantages to working with raw files, no matter how talented the photographer and no matter how well an image is taken.

I'm not in any way, nor have I suggested in any comment that there are not advantages to capturing a RAW file. But, those advantages in many cases are not needed, or necessary, to a photographer in certain scenarios.
Blenheim Orange wrote:
Yet here you come insulting all of us by saying that working with raw files is not needed for those who "know exactly what they are doing."

That is your own misguided interpretation of what I have written. Should you have not been so eager to push your own agenda you would have possibly understood that there are those that know exactly what they are doing when shooting jpeg. They may have shot the same scenario, over and over again, are experts at it, know exactly what results they will get and know exactly that those results are perfectly adequate for the intended purpose of the images.

Try thinking outside the box, you will not need correcting then.

What does knowing exactly what you are doing and why have to do with working with raw files? I don't see the connection between the two.

Perhaps you should have read the post that my comments were applicable to.

The reason to shoot raw is that you never know before the exposure whether or not the picture needs editing.

Great Idea!
I bought a Dell XPS8930 about 4 years ago with 16 GB of Ram. [It replaced an XPS8300 with 12 GB.]

The day it arrived, I tried it out & ordered another 16 GB Ram Stick.

It made a WORLD of difference in Photo Applications.

Was Adobe 'Denoise AI' available 4 years ago?

Nope, common sense rather than making pointless generalisations demonstrating a lack of awareness that there are those that know exactly what they are doing and why.

I would suggest there are many experienced amateurs and pros that know before the capture that they do not need to shoot RAW, because they know exactly what they are doing.

makes good sense, at least as a starter

Doubling the onboard RAM when it is presently 16GB is not going to improve things if the GPU is not up to Adobe requirements.
