Yes, just going through Steve’s videos and books will bring forward a comfortable knowledge of the menus and camera optimization. I have a 780 and Z7 and learned a lot.

Agreed. I go between the 70-200 with a converter and the 500PF.

I’d keep working with the Mac. It is the OS most used in graphics, design, video, and photo productions. The M1 Pro has the M1 processor (duh). A faster, lower power one designed by Apple, not Intel. It is outstanding with extremely fast memory transfer. The display is 14” or 16”. The 14” version is just under $3000 (1T SSD, 16GB). It will easily drive a separate monitor. Try a BEN-Q.

I purchased this lens with a D610 Nikkon. It has served me well. I now have a Z7 and a D780 with a number of zoom lenses that are better matched to my use, albeit heavier and less convenient. This lens is in great shape. Obviously, no scratches or other signs of misuse. All focus and zoom functions work as new. You will note that the raised, gold lettering on the lens is rubbed off due to skin oil or sunscreen. I am having an issue posting DNG images converted from RAW(NEF). I will send a link if you would like to view them or post when solved.

What you get is the lens, hood, owner's manual, lens cap, and soft bag. Note that the lens cap has a magnet attached. I can include a non-Nikon cap if you like. I do not have the box. I will ship to continental US free via insured USPS or UPS.

Also, the lens is not in warranty but, I will refund your purchase within 5 days of receipt of this lens does not meet the optical quality of the many reviews. You must ship it back to me and I will do a refund if the condition is identical to that I shipped.

You can purchase this model as new for $946. You can also find it on eBay for $325 through $600 but it will be a non-US serial number. Should you go this route and, sometime in the future, need service you will need to research options.

IMHO, having the whole field sharp is an art form!

Steve Perry does a excellent job on this topic for Nikon Z, 780, and 850 cameras. The info is applicable to other cameras on why do it and how to optimize.

It is worth going. Also close by are the monarch butterfly groves. You would be at the end of the migration but worth a visit if you can get in.

Except for the fact that ‘burned’ DVDs do have degradation of the pits. Pressed ones much less. Tape or the cloud is much safer. More local and accessible is raid NAS. You just have to bring the data forward with technology changes.

I agree. I have the D780 and a Z7. I find both to be excellent. Each has their advantages and neither is perfect. Nonetheless, for a DSLR, the 780 is great.

I have a 28-300mm lens 3.5 to 5.6 f . It has worked very well and is still sold. However, I have moved to the Z so this FX lens is somewhat less used. I can put it out on the sale forum I the next day or two. I would ask $575.

There are ‘free’ converters pout there. However, they are browser based and you agree that they can use the images. The email solution is best.

Or just shoot FX and crop it. The DX buys nothing. I’ve used the converter with the 500 PF on a 780 and other inputs are valid. Using it, a FTZ adapter on a Z7 works very well and a higher iso can be used for low light.

Easily seen on an iPad after enlarging. Looks like chromatic aberration. You did not mention the lense used.

This is the answer to your issue.
