Oh, one other thing do you bother with facial recognition or do you find it more of a hinderance such as picking out the bride when you're actually wanting to focus on the groom or bridesmaids or something?

Had a borrow of a z9 with the pf 500 Last week to compare to the sony a7iv. Af seems a tad quicker than than the Sony the updated firmware seems to have improved the af . Took a lot of comparison Shots between the Sony 200-600 and the nikon and couldnt see any difference in Sharpness between the two . Which surprised me as i always thought the pf was sharper . I was thinking about swapping to a z8 and the pf 500 but not sure now

It was very good it did surprise me i was shooting Peregrines @20fps most frames where in focus. But i only had a short time with it . 400mm is a bit short for Bird photography ,if i was buying a z lens it would be the 600pfMav, how did the tracking compare? Plus I'd check out the Nikon 400f4.5

Only held one briefly with the pf 500 lens fitted felt really nice and light and well balanced . What i dont like about it is no third wheel i use manual iso and it was a right pain.

Thanks, just found it. I didn't realise you could scroll down the left hand side to select shutter speeds I just saw the big with slow, standard, fast etc
That's great, now I know my shutter won't go below 1/125 so I can use A priority without worry

Auto ISO and minimum shutter speed is how I pretty much always shoot unless tripod mounted!

Not for me. Had Tuesday & Wednesday off this week. Went to see the Foo Fighters on Tuesday in Cardiff. Wednesday afternoon felt a bit off & sore throat, same Thursday back in work. Been to a concert, I expect 75,000 people had sore throats so didn't take much notice. High temperature this morning and that old friend Covid has found me.....

Compared to the Sonys it has that feeling, However I held a z6iii last week and it seemed worse than the z6ii with no place for the little pinky to grip.

I was tired of being indoors so I went for an evening trip. Anyone know where I went?
A7 and Sony 40mm f2.5.
Boats.
Got it yet? A give away...
The grass at the side of the steps up to the vantage point is a bit overgrown and I imagine it'd be a bit treacherous if it's wet.
The view out to sea.
Helpful information.
I thought I'd stop at Saltburn on the way home but I missed the sunset by just a couple of minutes,
I seemed popular today, everyone I passed seemed to want to chat.

There are some lovely places in the North East and along the Yorkshire coast but of them all I think Saltburn is one of the best. It can be easily overlooked but I think it is worth a visit.
