I just found a rare reasonably priced used Nikon 17-28. It looks nicer in Nikon trim. It seems smaller and lighter than I remember it in it's native Tamron form. I'm getting lazier in my fade out of youth and I just haven't had the urge to mount the little Viltrox 20 and 28SE since I've received...

I haven't experienced the shutter but here's a thread at DPR discussing what I think is what you're experiencing. No conclusion but it may be pointing towards firmware. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4741310 The AWB situation sounds odd. I'm in living room with incandescents and two...

I had the Sigma 100-400 on Sony and adapted Z. It's a nice size, reasonably priced and performed well. I think with the reach (aps-c crop and MP) of the X-T5 it would be pretty amazing. Not familiar with the Fuji and not a long lens shooter by any means but really would like to seriously give it...

How about a legacy manual focus macro lens in the 50-60mm length? Books don't move too fast. ( : Nikon 55mm 3.5 comes to mind but most would be fine - never met a macro lens that wasn't sharp. Easily adaptable, very modestly priced and near flat field.

Thanks for the mention on the VB-30 battery. I didn't realize it was backwards compatible. Was looking for a backup for my V850iii. And congrats on the V1Pro. Quite a unit.

@Charzes44 I found a used one at BH. It was $65USD instead of $89. But that was dumb luck as I couldn't find one in stock. If there was, I'd gladly have paid full price. Is your comment directed at the price of a flash remote or the difference between it and the other transmitters in the...

A Godox X3. AKA Flashpoint Nano. This thing is seriously cool. Tiny. Rechargeable. Responsive. Easy to navigate. The flash trigger reinvented.

Can't wait to see it.

You have a great job. At least some parts of it. (>:

I like it. Perfect balance. Very clean and rich blacks. A different feel from the velvety browns. A little starker? Well done! @agentlossing

Love the rich darks. @agentlossing

There's a Barton1972 showing anonymously. I love those straps. Went with the Tap and Dye instead this time almost ordered another.

Nice images Irene!

I picked up a Tap and Dye Classic (5/8" wide) leather strap in a 30" length. I don't wear shoulder straps on my neck, shoulder or cross shoulder but just with a wrap or two around my wrist or fore arm. I do often throw it around my neck for a lens change and the length works well for that. The...

Sorry guys, I bypassed the mist filter conversation altogether and thought about a future GRIV - I'm so off topic on everything. My question was more of a statement. That I don't see a need for anything. As mentioned above, the form factor is the GR. Add something physical like an EVF and that...

How do you even improve the GRiii series? Seems just about as right as it can get.

That arrived in good time. I'm glad you like it. My version 4 had a an under-developed tripod screw channel. It didn't allow the screw to fold in flush. My 4.5 is better but like yours. I figured that it wasn't a finished version, so I didn't mention it. I think I may carefully take a dremel to...

@Robmas4229 Congratulations on your retirement!

In both V4 (prototype) and V4.5 (my gifted version - latest?) there was an ever so slight amount of flex in the top of the finger grip area when rotating the camera vertically. Not apparent with lenses like the 40mm but with the 24-200. I think it's a limitation of the material and structural...

I'm glad you found the site. It really is on another level in regards to comfort and control compared to both the Nikon and Smallrig grips. My addition to the design was the bottom strap slot. I mentioned that I like attaching my PD wrist strap to the Smallrig grips in that manner to keep it out...

I loved both lenses but prefer the 56 length/working distance. Agree with David, it sits nicely in between the 45 and 75. And with Arturo, the performance difference is moot. Affordability and the slight but noticeable difference could merit having both? ( :

@mpeterson Nice Mark. Really enjoying mine. The Metro grip arrived today. Here's a few pics of the three. Not the best work but hopefully easy to see. Nikon, Metro and Smallrig. Metro, Smallrig and Nikon. Nikon, Metro and bare as the Smallrig is front only.

Spacing with other lenses in your kit could be beneficial. If you already have the 33 for instance, I'd probably go with the 18. Or if you have the 56 the 23 makes a nice pair. I've read people saying that their 18 is better than their 23 but not the other way around. I couldn't tell; they were...

The Smallrig is great and helps the Z f handle quite a bit. And I don't feel bad about adding the ZF-GR1 b/c the Smallrig was so affordable. Has your Z f arrived? How do you like it?

I pickled up a used ZF-GR1 from Japan. Shipped f a s t !. Arrived on the fourth day. The front finger grip isn't as sticky or as big as the Small-rig but the solidity and the rear thumb gives a better feel overall imo. Looks amazing too. I also have a Metro grip (free - I trialed a prototype...

My X100V experience has led me to a Z fc. It's not as refined in the tasks that really suit the Fuji but succeeds at least partially in that regard and adds quite a bit of versatility. I added the 12-28 and 24 1.7 which I like. There's also a synergy with my FX-Z lenses. An unexpected positive...

Really nice images John.

And an EVF. That's serious.

Wait. A 1" sensor and a Leica Optical 24-360 zoom. And it slims down to that?

This is the oldest one I have on the account right now. Not the first but pretty close. I culled it when they intro'd the Pro account and limited the number. A shot of my oldest. Kai. November 2011. Just before his 20th birthday. Kai by john matsu, on Flickr

My V arrived with an intermittent "stick" in the shutter. It's on its way back to the seller. Unfortunate but possibly beneficial for me. In the brief time that I had it, I realized that I don't really have a use case for it. It's pretty and makes great images but I think a small-ish ILC could...

Looks pretty rough in there. Great shots Andrew!

Following morning. My Z f has restored itself to its normal wonderful size and weight and looks better than ever. Phew!

My used V arrived. Now my Z f feels like a brick with a lead core. ( :

With Nikon 5T attached.

50mm with the 6T wide open.

I got an itch and preordered a X100 6. After finding out the supply numbers of the first order (BH, Adorama and local online) and contemplating the improvements vs. the shuffle of 5s going on right now I cancelled it and found a nicely priced black 5. I had one early on but sold it, and...
