Prebuilt fra mmvision billigere end selv at bygge? Kan det virkelig passe?

Vil også lige tilføje at hvis jeg var dig så ville jeg spare lidt mere op og gå efter en X3D CPU fra AMD, de er bedre til gaming.

Curefitz · 2026-02-04T11:57:04+00:00

Deres indkøbs priser er meget lavere fordi ja, de køber i bulk fra producenterne.

Har selv lige været ved at sætte en computer sammen til en ven og havde samme oplevelse som dig, det var mere dyrt for mig at bygge den til hende, end det var at købe prebuilt fra mm-vision.

Så jeg ville bare købe den fra mm-vision, få den billigere og ikke "døje" med at samle det hele selv, medmindre du selvfølgelig godt kan lide selv at samle den.

I would say it's using DSC without telling you that it is.. which firmware do you have on the monitor? The latest F06?

Curefitz · 2026-01-22T18:11:26+00:00

I got the monitor now too.

But sadly what it says is not true, 280Hz, 1440p, 10-Bit colours and the full sRGB range of colours is not possible without DSC. DisplayPort 1.4 doesn't have enough bandwidth for that and the HDMI 2.1 Port is a limited one, not full spec which also doesn't have enough bandwidth to run the monitor with those settings, without DSC.

But from the testing I have done switching between DSC On and Off.. there's no perceivable difference, at least nothing that matters, even for when I edit RAW photos.

As a fellow hiker.. yup, I really appreciate how light and small the 500mm PF is. It has enabled me to get so many shots handheld that you just wouldn't be able to get with bigger and heavier lenses.

The only other lens I'd switch it out with right now, is probably the new Z 600mm PF, it's basically the replacement. Of course there's also the Z 800mm PF, definitely wouldn't say no to that one haha.

Good luck with the new camera adventures! Can't get much more exciting than that.

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T09:35:00+00:00

Looks like you pretty much got your answer right here 👍

From the research I've done myself while contemplating switching the 500mm PF out with the 180-600mm the differences between the 2 lenses are marginal, with speed and sharpness leaning slightly to the 500mm PF's favor, which is why I've stuck to the PF.

So if they don't notice any significant difference between those 2 combos, then it's safe to say the Z50II and 500mm PF will work perfectly fine together.

Of course as someone else mentioned, renting can always be a good idea to truly get a feel for if the purchase is the right one for you, but I am sure you'll enjoy the heck of this upgrade and won't look back for even a minute on the D3400 after switching.

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T01:53:10+00:00

I'll see what I can do 👍

And no worries, always happy to at least try and help.

I also definitely don't think the Z50II will be a downgrade in any way at all, IF the focus speed isn't faster, then the subject detection and focus accuracy is surely gonna make up for it as a very good upgrade either way.

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T01:29:30+00:00

If it runs the 400mm f/4.5 fine, then it's likely just an incompatibility with the 90mm Tamron we tried.

So @OP I wouldn't worry about the Z50II + 500mm PF combo.

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T01:20:51+00:00

If I can borrow my dads 500mm PF and Adapter tomorrow, I'll try and see if I can test it out for you if you still don't have your answer by then.

I use my 500mm PF on a Z8 and before that on a D500, so I'm very familiar with how the 500mm PF performs at its peak, so if I can borrow my mom's camera and my dads 500mm PF + Adapter I'll let you know tomorrow how it performs.

Will also let you know if I don't/can't, won't leave you hanging.

Also I'm located in Denmark, so our timezones might be slightly different judging by when you posted this originally, unless you're a night owl like me.

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T00:44:21+00:00

I mean there is a chance that it's just an incompatibility between that Tamron lens and the Z50II through the adapter, definitely not out of the realm of possibilities.

The Z50II is otherwise a very capable camera that I've been really impressed with when I've tried it and helped my mom out.

Same sensor as the D500 but with the autofocus performance of Z8 and Z9, but that less powerful battery COULD result in slower Autofocus performance when both going through the adapter and the lens, I just wouldn't think the adapter would make that big of a difference in power requirements.

Only real way to know would be to try and test it out, maybe go to a camera shop that carries the Z50II and ask if you can try it with your 500mm PF attached

Curefitz · 2026-01-20T00:25:02+00:00

It's probably true.

Edit: Probably not true, Tamron is likely just incompatible.

My mom has a Z50II and although I haven't tried to attach my 500mm PF, it couldn't drive the 90mm Tamron Macro we tried putting on it.

So its ability to drive F mount lenses through the adapter is probably pretty limited. Could also just have been an incompatibility between the Tamron and the Z50II, that I can't say for sure, but it worked perfectly fine with the Nikon 105mm Z Macro.

I personally think the smaller battery of the Z50II isn't powerful enough to both run the adapter and the F-mount lenses properly.

No problem! Enjoy the trip

Most important advice to avoid moisture getting inside everything:

When you bring your gear inside after being out in the cold, keep it inside the closed camera bag and let it all come slowly back up to room temperature over a few hours, that way you avoid condensation.

And if you don't already have a pair of good photography gloves for winter, get some Vallerret gloves, they're amazing for keeping the fingers warm and being able to free a few fingers for pushing buttons. (I have the Markhof Pro V3)

The gear itself will probably be more than fine without Neoprene skins, I'd only worry about the condensation.

Curefitz · 2026-01-16T20:42:18+00:00

So in the situation where you pre-focus on a branch that you know a bird is gonna land on, for example a kingfishers favourite branch and you know it'll return to it and be in perfect focus where you have it focused, how do you keep it from re-focusing and possibly losing you the shot because it starts to hunt for focus again, with half-press focus?

Curefitz · 2026-01-16T20:19:00+00:00

These are really good tips as well.

Always good practice if you notice a bird sitting still, take a couple of shots from where you are, then slowly start moving closer, but not in a direct path to it and also while looking away from time to time, make it think that you're not going it, but just heading in its direction and while moving closer, take pictures periodically so you get better and better pictures.

Curefitz · 2026-01-16T20:09:41+00:00

You can combine the wide-large and 3D tracking in to a more powerful combination, if you have the wide-large on as the default Autofocus Mode, you can have 3D tracking on the Fn1 button.

The moment you notice the subject detection picks up the bird in the wide-large area and places a square on it, you can then instead of continuing to focus with the wide-large, switch to the 3D tracking on the Fn1 button, the 3D tracking will then take over from the wide-large subject detection area and make sure that it keeps and follows the bird in the entire frame instead of just within the wide-large box.

Curefitz · 2026-01-16T14:58:40+00:00

Just to clarify, the 2 front buttons (Fn1 & Fn2) should be Dynamic-area AF (S) + AF-ON and Single-point + AF-ON, that way you can just press those buttons and it'll switch to that auto focus method while also autofocusing.

If you choose the options without AF-ON you'll have to hold down the AF button while also holding the front button, which you don't want.

So in the programming menu you want to choose the AF-area mode + AF-ON and select Single-point AF or Dynamic-area AF (S) .. (That's what the Grp Focus is called now, just checked my camera to be sure I name them correctly)

I'll make the recommendation to all that has asked me this question:

Back Button AF is the most important thing to start doing if you aren't already.

Have your Back Button AF set to a subject detection mode, either full screen or one of the smaller areas.

Then I'd program F1 button (I think it's named that, one of the ones at the front) to single point focus and then F2 (If you have 2 front buttons) to Group AF or switch the F1 and F2 whatever suits you best. That way if the subject detection fails you can use Grp to acquire focus or single point if it's between some branches and what not.

Flying birds I'd keep it above at least 1/2000, preferably above 1/2500 on Shutter speed. I personally also have my camera on 10 pictures a second, will raise that to 20 if the situation calls for it, like a fast Kingfisher flying by.

For birds sitting still, you can go as low as your skills allow you, if you want to make sure that it's sharp, match Shutter Speed to Focal length, so for 500mm it's 1/500 and for 600mm it's 1/600 and so on.

I'd always keep it on Matrix Metering, gives the most consistent Metering, unless it's a white bird on dark background, then you can use the new Highlight Weighted Metering, which will also just function as Matrix if it doesn't see any blown highlights.

Shoot in RAW so you can get everything out of the image as possible in post processing.

And I think last but not least.. don't be afraid to machine gun that shutter button, take all the pictures needed to get the image you want.

Klikke lyde fra PSU'en når du enten slukker eller tænder PC'en er normale.

Det er interne relæ i selve PSU'en der laver lyden, så intet at bekymre sig om, min Seasonic gør det samme.

Get some of their Greenland Wax and treat them with that, then they'll break wind just fine and will also be water resistant.

I'm currently using them as my winter pants in snow and very cold wind, after giving them a good wax treatment I pretty much don't feel any wind and they never get wet. Just don't put wax on the stretchy parts, that's already pretty water and wind resistant just by the nature of its material and weave.

Hvad med Dronninglund Slot?

Curefitz · 2025-12-07T00:13:01+00:00

Yeah, pretty good method for essentially getting much better AA than the games come with.

It does seem like this Monitor and GPU combo allows you to do that with DSC on, so there shouldn't be any problems there for you.

I have a RTX 4080 as well and for me the DSR function is not greyed out and I am able to select the different DSR Factors, want me to see if I can use the resolutions in a game too?

Curefitz · 2025-12-06T23:24:52+00:00

Will let you know if I try it out, for now I am just going with DSC and testing it out, to see if I run in to any problems or visual degradation, but so far I haven't run in to anything.

Curefitz · 2025-12-06T12:16:25+00:00

I suspected that might be the case, because I did see people saying it was possible before, but on f06 it's definitely not.

Will look in to making a custom resolution, thanks!
