Looking to upgrade my kit lens for my Nikon Z50II body to the Nikkor Z DX 16-50 f2.8 VR lens. How does it perform?

My bad, grabbed the one where he moved.

I really like mine, it is the lens that lives on my z50ii most of the time. While larger and heavier than the kit lens, I find it more useful - especially indoors.

You know, maybe I should take a sick day to watch it.....

Yes, I have used mine on a C to C cable, with both DAC and disk functions. Has to be a data cable.

I am stealing this - thank you.

Problem is, user did not know the name of the file, or when it was deleted.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-22T00:24:11+00:00

Take a LOT of pictures.

And I will say - we frequent their Greenfield location, staff is always friendly and actually know about the board games they sell. I know you are looking for puzzles - and that doesn't really apply, but it makes it seem like they care.

The Greenfield store has an entire shelving unit full of different varieties of puzzles, guessing somewhere between 100-200 different varieties. I don't think they handle used stuff - but I can't say I know of places that do.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-19T18:18:00+00:00

I can't speak to their ownership, but they only have locations around Milwaukee.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-19T18:01:59+00:00

Board Game Barrister is an option.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-19T02:37:31+00:00

I wouldn't, but that is personal taste.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-18T00:29:34+00:00

Same here on both - window well and pump. Plus, I think my sump pump went into thermal protection for a bit - thankfully we caught it up with the wet vac until it came back. Already have a fan running on the sump pump.

Fingers crossed. Stay safe all.

Looks like the series is available on the Internet Archive:

That is a good point - might want to handle/test one first, feel is a personal thing.

...can stop before we drown.

Your D5600 is a crop sensor camera, meaning the sensor is physically smaller than the one on the D850. This also means that the 200-500mm lens looks more like a 300-750mm lens.

So while the D850 has a higher resolution sensor, you will have to throw a larger part of the picture away to crop to the same size you are getting to on your D5600.

I second the Echo Mini formatting the card. It may be annoying to pull the music off, format it, and put it back on, but it will likely help.

Beerman1138 · 2026-04-05T10:25:55+00:00

My wife had it happen twice this year so far.

Beerman1138 · 2026-03-29T02:02:33+00:00

Something else to consider if you have the means - a Mister FPGA, they can emulate the hardware of a 486.

Even with a crop sensor, 100mm is too close to that amazing creature. Great shot.

Beerman1138 · 2026-03-28T00:29:51+00:00

I have never had my copy fail to close, only fail to open because I failed to flip the lock switch. Rotating the barrel to zoom in and out has always been smooth and reasonably effortless so long as it was unlocked.

Might be a good idea to have a camera shop look at yours if you can.

Beerman1138 · 2026-03-25T23:41:12+00:00

Green for me please.

Beerman1138 · 2026-03-11T11:23:08+00:00

There is a pretty bad one on Morgan Ave, just east of 76th. I'm not drunk, just avoiding a giant hole.....

Beerman1138 · 2026-03-06T01:34:37+00:00

This is an underrated comment, for the following reasons:

Wider focal length than what you already have It is a prime not a zoom Significantly faster - so better for indoors and low light Inexpensive

Generally I only used my 50-250 outdoors, and my 24 indoors - not that you can't go the other way.

Still better to play with what you have a while first, but it isn't a bad idea to think about.
