I went for the Nikon Z 180-600 in the end. Shot with a Z8. Only managed to get out to watch one game right at the end of last season when my wife gave me a pass on a Sunday for a couple of hours.

that doesn't sounds too promising... sigh. I'm torn between the 14-30 f4 or the Viltrox. I hate using the FTP adaptor, although I've only got the first version 1. Have sold all my f mount lenses now.

It would be replacing my old Tamron G2 15-30. Nothing can be heavier than that, its an absolute brick of a lens :)

Anyone here tried the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 yet?

thanks so much for confirming, got a xqd reader coming tomorrow now :)

Well, after many years of shooting professionally with Nikon bodies with dual card slots, I finally had an issue yesterday. Wedding Tuesday, Commercial shoot both Wednesday and Thursday and midway through Thursday, my Nikon Z8 continued writing to my primary XQD card but it didn't back up to the...

Off to Lords next week for the Eng v Windies test match. Looking at the regulations, I can only bring in a lens up to 200mm. Can I get away with sticking in a x2 teleconverter in my picnic bag to go on my z70-200? I've emailed the media department in the hope I can get a media pass but I think...

Hi All. One question you may be able to help with. Focal lengths for cricket. I currently shoot a Nikon Z8. Longest lens I've got is the z mount 70-200 f2.8. I've been looking at longer lenses to enable me to shoot football and cricket, primarily cricket. Budget-wise I'm looking at either...

Has anyone tried the Tamron 150-500 for Z mount yet?

How to XQD cards stack up against the CF Express Type B cards. I bought 2 for the Z6ii/Z7ii but have since sold the Z7ii and replaced it with a Z8. If I want to shoot 20 frame bursts, do I need to replace the XDQ? my main concern is my SD cards as they are ancient.

Has anyone got any recommendations for the following accessories: Batteries (I'm going to need at least 2 I think) Filter System (Looking at ND filters and a CP) Is there a remote release available? Any assistance greatly received. Thanks muchly.

Well I've just ordered myself the M7. Will report back once I've received it and taken some test shots.

Hello. I'm a twin D850 shooter now. I use my old D750 as back up. Shot my wedding season with the pair. For me, the key was calibrating the lenses to the body. I used Reikan Focal - https://www.reikanfocal.com/ Since I've calibrated my 35, 50 and 85mm primes, I rarely miss focus. I've...

Nope. I'd rather not tbh. We've got a baby, a baby stoller and a car seat to take with us as it is :(

I'm looking at the VII as the wife has banned me from taking my roller bag with us to the US in Dec/Jan and Japan/Singapore in Mar/Apr. I usually shoot with my Nikon D850 and lenses. Had anyone had a play with the VII?
