The Z7 - bought it and the 24-200 as my dog walking kit. I live in a fairly nice area so its a handy "always with me" sort of set up. But I liked the sound of the 100-400 and a pal has one and loved it so I took the plunge. I still have the 850, Df and about 20 primes but I've been using the Z7...

You'll like it. Very impressed with mine. It only photographs Scotland. Its well suited to it

I'm considering a Q2. But I might need more than one drink before I buy one

Thats enough time. I started photography in 2010 and did ok with an image i took in 2014. You can never tell. Just go for it.

I wrote an article a couple of years back for Outdoor Photography on older lenses. I think I just called it "Just because its old doesn't mean to say its obsolete". I have a wee bag with the Nikon 28mm f2.8Ais, 50mm f1.2Ais and the 105mm f2.5Ais which I use with my Nikon Df. They just match up...

If you don't have to sell then don't. If it won't take you long to save for it then save for it. The 70-200 is a very useful lens. Very. You can never have too many lenses.

Well done Martin. A just reward for all the work you put in mate. Internet is pants where I am so struggling to see them all properly but from what I’ve seen there is some beautiful stuff in there

I love early summer as you get a big variety of greens - some subtle differences in the hues and tones. I rather like wet days in summer - allows you to play with the softness of the scenes. I tend to use the individual colour controls in Lightroom to play with subtle changes of hue in the...

I think this is absolutely lovely. Nicely composed with gorgeous light and a wee bit of a vanishing distance. In terms of the competition my opinion doesn't help but its certainly an image to return to with not a little pride in my opinion. The competition is what it is. If at any stage it has...

websites bloody ancient - not updated in about five years. My instagram or twitter has most of my recent stuff. Penrith beacon can be as good as anywhere on the right day

Silver one at Aperture with 36k for £850.... I know its not the point but I have a Gariz black leather half case on mine and it does look quite nice...especially with the Voigtlander 40mm on it.

Although I have thought about adding the Z6 - if only to be in position for the chunk of f0.95 lens coming out....

Which is exactly why I wrote an article for Outdoor Photography a while back along the lines of 'just because its old doesn't mean its obsolete..":)

I have a Df alongside the 850, 800e and the 800. Last one I'd sell? The Df. I have about 20 primes - my favourites being the 28 2.8Ais, 50 1.2Ais and the 105 2.5Ais and the Voigtlandr 40mm f2 (always on lens) - if you're using it with these sorts of lens its bloody superb. Low light abilities...

There are a lot of excellent boots out there so its a case of trying as many as you can and finding the ones that fit your feet best. Everybody will recount tales of how bad each particular brand is and how good each particular brand is. I have nearly as many pairs of approach shoes and boots as...
