They should work together without issue, putting the drive in takes about 10secs and will be much quicker than a regular external USB SSD.

Depends how fast you want, I get 600-800 mb/s with external Samsung T5 and T7s and similar with a Crucial X9. I get ~3000mb/s with OWC 1m2 external housing using thunderbolt 4 and WD Black NVME drives on a MacStudio and MacBook Pro.

Some are smaller 24-70 f4, 14-30 f4 and the new 24-70 f2.8. But the primes are generally large and the f1.2 are big, but optically spectacular. The 1.4 lens are little smaller and designed with more compromises. Personally I have found moving to Z mount to be a significant upgrade and can live...

Thanks

Thanks, I need Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, but nothing else. I am just unsure about changing the license and if this is smooth.

If your subject is moving your generally want as long as focal length as possible 105, 150 or even 200mm. If you want insects adding a close up filter to a zoom lens can work well. I used a canon 500d filter on a Nikon 70-200 zoom for years and it worked really well, as most of the time I was...

I have been using an academic Creative Cloud license for a few years, but I don't need the extra apps anymore. Has anyone changed from a monthly subscription to using an annual Photography subscription, currently £99? I don't use the associated cloud storage, so will not miss it and can't see...

As Peter states using XQD allows the camera to write to the card faster, so it clears the buffer faster and maintains a higher frame rate for longer. If you use XQD with a slow SD card in the 2nd slot some this speed is lost.

I used Lexar XQD cards in my D500 for years with no issues. I only ever used XQD cards, never put a card in the SD slot.

I have a Backlight 26L and 36L, I think the list of items you want to carry would be fine in the 26L, the 36L is a really big bag.

I am running Lightroom Classic on a couple of Macbooks, so it should be possible. I guess if the machine is very old it might not be compatible anymore, more details on the error message would help.

I had a focus motor/VR unit fail in a Nikon 200-400, it then happened again after I had the lens repaired. I have had a Nikon D7200 fail, whilst recording video and then refuse to record any more video, but it still shots stills.

I have had a similar experience, I have a couple of OWC 1M2 enclosures I use, APFS formatted SSDs and they work as expected (~3000mb/s). I have 4TB external Crucial X9 drive formatted as exFAT and it is massively inconsistent with both my MacBook, Mac Studio and a couple of Windows PC. The only...

I have an Anglebird reader I use on my desk and a cheap Lexar reader I use on road as its relatively small.

I had a 200-400 and it was a great lens up close (<6m) but it got softer with distance. Mine also required two focus motors/VR units in 3 years and I am not sure Nikon still service the mk1 version. If you want light and sharp I would look at the 300mm f4, partnered with a high megapixel body...
