Talen with 28-400 at F8. F11 or F13 would probably have been better.

There are a couple of crops to be had on the left which I think would help direct you forward to the water or slightly lighten the curved trunk. Whichever way, I like it.I liked the light through the trees, but it seemed more darker at the time of shooting and more moody if that makes sense. My wife likes it for the reasons you state, winding brook and curved tree. I'm not sure, I will come back to it. Thanks for the reply though![]()
Well, you were right about the grip. I've just tried the Neewer on mine and, yes, it does make as much difference as one does on the Zf. I'm happy enough with the normal thumb position, though.Having previously used a ZFC for a couple of years I found both the finger grip and thumb grip essential. You also need a tripod plate so the grips that include an Arca Swiss plate kill two birds with one stone.

I’ve tried thumb grips on other cameras and never got on with them.The thumb grip is great for my hands which are a "glove medium". It just places the thumb a bit higher which gives me a firmer grip on everything and makes handling larger lenses for effortless. Try one off Amazon and just return it if you don't find it works. This is the one I have:
I've returned the Neewer and kept the SmallRig. I liked the Neewer but I didn't like the red stripe down the front. Functionally it was spot on, though, as is the SmallRig.

My Neewer grip is the aluminium coloured one, not the black with the red stripe. I had to scroll down the Amazon list to find it.
I’m under the thumb enough as it is.Ahh, OK. You have the silver ZFC. Makes sense.
No, no! I insist you get a ruddy thumb grip!!![]()

I am but prefer the ZFC for my personal needs.Are you not liking the ZF Duncan?
All I can say is, what a terrible situation and admission.You're not the only one Stephen. We succumb to that the minute we get married.

I think that the drive to provide video in cameras makes the need to have CFExpress cards a necessity.Morning, since getting the Z6ii at the weekend I’ve been researching all sorts of things including the following, which I was hoping for some advice on:
1. Being my first camera to have CFexpress compatibility, are they worth it over UHS-ii SD cards?
2. RAW processing software. I used to use LR classic, but wondered if there was any other good options for Nikon files??
For ref my photography is purely hobby and pretty much a bit of anything really. I don’t have one specific type of photography I do, although I do particularly enjoy taking wildlife and nature shots.
Thanks![]()
With the high FPS and MP on some cameras you need the CF express cards for photos if you want the use the full capability of the cameraI think that the drive to provide video in cameras makes the need to have CFExpress cards a necessity.
Personally I dont "do" video so for me the need to have these card is a waste of money. I would rather have two SD cards but that is a personal preference. I have been looking to find an adapter that allows the CFExpress slot to be filled by a SD card. However I dont think this is technically possible but would be very happy to be proved wrong.

If you’re used to and have LR stick with that. For Nikon files it’s as good as it gets. I’ve never felt the need to look elsewhere with my Nikon RAW files.Any tips on software??
Yeah I think that’s what I’ll do. Just need to get me head round Classic or the CC version.If you’re used to and have LR stick with that. For Nikon files it’s as good as it gets. I’ve never felt the need to look elsewhere with my Nikon RAW files.
If you just work on a MacBook, LR classic is the way to go. I have CC on my phone & iPad as well for quick editing when I’m away from home and want to download a photo or two. I don’t use it for much else as I’d rather work on my iMac.Yeah I think that’s what I’ll do. Just need to get me head round Classic or the CC version.
From what I can see CC is missing things but allows good sharing/workflow across multiple devices. However I don’t work like that, I just work on a single MacBook.
100% agree with you on this and it's the reason I bought a CFexpress card for the Z8. Initially I would have preferred to have two SD slots but being able to sustain high speed shooting without even buffering is incredibly useful.With the high FPS and MP on some cameras you need the CF express cards for photos if you want the use the full capability of the camera
What make and speed, plus have you set he* raw?100% agree with you on this and it's the reason I bought a CFexpress card for the Z8. Initially I would have preferred to have two SD slots but being able to sustain high speed shooting without even buffering is incredibly useful.
Wonderful ShaneHiya All,

It's a Sabrent 512GB rated at 1500MB/s write, I think the camera is set to the higher compressed raw option.What make and speed, plus have you set he* raw?
