    Cosina Voigtländer Nokton 50mm F1 Aspherical Z Photos and Discussions

    I finally got it - my first, and probably last f/1.0 lens :) I would not normally buy such a large aperture lens - they are usually very big and heavy - but this one I can manage (manual focus included). The manufacturer page for the lens...

    Nikkor Z 26mm f/2.8 Photos and Discussions

    Picked mine today from the local camera store. Will play with it tomorrow and start posting photos and comments here. First observation - it sets and locks auto distortion correction to ‘on’ in camera, like a few other Nikkor Z lenses.

    Cosina Voigtländer Lenses for the Z Mount

    I started this thread as a central resource/discussion hub for all the Z mount lenses released by Cosina Voigtländer. Just officially announced, and scheduled to be released in February 2023: - SUPER WIDE-HELIAR 15mm F4.5 Aspherical -...

    Z 7II Firmware Update 1.31

    Not the update people expected... https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/435.html The only official change: • Improved the accuracy of autofocus with poorly-lit subjects in photo mode when Single AF was selected for Focus mode. I will downgrade my prediction that a big update...

    2022 Nikon Predictions and Expectations

    2022 is finally upon us, and it appears that Nikon entered the new year on a high note. They are scrambling to fill all the preorders for their recently released camera and lenses, and it looks like that may take a while, since they are selling everything that they are able to produce. This...

    Fun with Nikon Images 2022

    Let's get started with this year's thread! Hopefully, an admin will make it sticky :) This was taken on January 2nd, several hours before the snowstorm hit the area: Before the Storm Nikon D810, AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.8G, 1/320 sec, f/5.6, ISO 64 (Manassas National Battlefield Park, January 2022)

    Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S Photos and Discussions

    I just realized I did not create a 'Photos & Discussions' thread for this lens back when I bought it, so here it is :) I do not take photos of people usually, so I did not use the AFS Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G that much, passing it to a family member when the Z system was announced. I did not plan to...

    Nikon NX Studio

    One day after updating View NX-i and Capture NX-D with bug fixes and macOS Big Sur support, Nikon announced that the two software packages will no longer be updated in the future because of the new kid on the block: the free Nikon NX Studio. Nikon NX Studio combines the capabilities of View...

    Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S Photos and Discussions

    Yup, I got one from the very first shipment - thanks to the great team at my favorite local camera store (District Camera of Burke). Haven't had time yet to shoot with it extensively, but so far it looks like a great companion to the 24-70mm f/2.8 S. Yes, it is big, and yes, it is heavy - I can...

    Nikon Z50 Photos and Discussions

    I am not sure how much interest there is on GetDPI about the Z50, but just in case, here is a thread for it :) I wasn't planning to buy it initially, but I got bored waiting for the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S... :D Moreover, I had a small camera bag and a 46mm B+W Redhancer filter left from my Olympus...

    Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Photos and Discussions

    I started a new thread for this lens such that Z7 owners can also post their photos and impressions :) My original post from the Z6 thread is at https://www.getdpi.com/forum/nikon/65033-nikon-z6-photos-discussions-4.html#post785387

    Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro

    I've waited a few years for Cosina to release a new Voigtländer macro lens 90mm or longer in F mount... an updated 90mm SLII S, an updated 125mm SLII, or even an F mount version of the 110mm released for Sony. Alas, nothing happened, and the deadline I set for myself - CP+ 2019 - passed with no...

    Nikon at CP+ 2019

    No surprises :D The two recently announced lenses were available to try - DPReview posted their hands-on impressions with the 14-30mm f/4 S and with the 24-70mm f/2.8 S. It appears that the other lenses from the roadmap were displayed under glass - some photos were posted in the DPReview Z...

    Thoughtful pics of fauna...

    Any camera/lens, any type of fauna (flying, running, swimming, or just standing there...), any place (wildlife, Zoo, pets, ...). Photos of suffering, abused or dead fauna are strongly discouraged... (an exception could be dead insects that don't look dead).
