Last year, finally, I bought Topaz deNOISE AI and have used it sparingly. In short it works well, compared to the noise reduction on images taken at higher ISOs using the adobe tools in LR Classic. This is on Nikon Z9 RAWs. Note - Topaz is apparently in negotiation with Nikon to licence its new...

Agreed. As I posted above (yesterday), Nikon have improved the secret sauce in the D6 AF - in the latest firmware. Nikon did not state this explicitly, but this is why many of us routinely upgrade firmware to get these unannounced fixes and tweaks. A rumoured Firmware upgrade of the Z6 / Z7...

Well according to a recent video of his on AF settings in Zed and D6, Moose Peterson claims the AF tracking has improved significantly thanks to the latest firmware D6 upgrade. This is with Auto AF. My findings confirm the general consensus that Auto AF mode is not much better than 3D tracking...

I bought a Lexar bundle of CFX reader + 64gb card, but it turns out there are few cardreaders that read both XQD and CFX. Simple lesson is one needs to travel with both readers, which is irritating as it must be a software issue. Last month I bought a Used D5 dual XQD at a very reasonable...

I have used and sold on TC14 II, after I read a couple of recommendations the current model ie TC14 III is designed for the E Nikkors. Nikon released it with the 400 f2.8E FL... Anyway, somewhat on the 'Concorde Principle' I bought a new vIII after investing heavily in E telephotos in 2018. My...

I moved on from the standard Sirui ballheads, monoheads and plates – not only after the screwtype platform failed but I also had an allenkey strip out the head of a Sirui capscrew – only under moderate torque. These were scrapped. Lesson is to toss out any suspect bolts and replace with...

Thanks Robin, for your rapid reply. Actually, this week I contacted Guy via his website but more to do with deploying the Sachtler 75, which I plan to use primarily with gimbals. And he reiterated his experience with the Flexshooter :) I suspect my learning curve with tripods has a taken a path...

Hi, I found this lapsed thread searching for more reviews of he Flexshooter. Only one I can find is that by Guy Edwardes on previous page. https://www.guyedwardes.com/articles/view/flexshooter-pro-review (The Andy Rouse promo is too biased and suffers from hyperbole types utube) . One factor...

Fully endorse this link, as one who's benefited from his Auto-Focus book https://backcountrygallery.com/secrets-nikon-autofocus-system/ His E-book is worth significantly more than the price he charges Mirror settings on the D500 and D850 with B-Button Focus set to either D25 or Group, and the...

My D500 and Df are certainly quieter than the D850, which I use most of them all. And for wildlife (so far birds mainly ) and landscapes. If sound is really that unruly and the camera is on legs then use the silent-shutter in Lview. This is one the top features of the D850 I find it a huge...

my apologies - corrected link in my original post! https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-d850 This review will be updated as new data roll in. Current edition of 22 Sep 2017 has updated Section 17 on smaller RAW file quality - "mRAW / sRAW High ISO Noise Performance”

Thorough Review of D850 and to be expanded: https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-d850 One other - https://hofferphotography.com/2017/09/19/nikon-d850-review-the-best-camera-nikon-has-ever-made-but/

google him wrt 'angry photographer fraud' and see expose. He's banned from Nikon Rumours for trolling and sifting out new info that he swiftly reports as his own inside links etc. A recent video of a supposed leak of the D850 from Nikon Italy was merely a facile attempt to try and cover up...
