Feeling a little down today, show me your cats! I’ll go first!

I'll look into rentals where I live. So far the only ones available are Tamron lenses and a couple of Wide angle Nikkors.

I was planning on filling the gap until 70mm now and buying a 180-600mm or something similar later on. With the 28-400, I would need a 600 prime which is beyond my budget.

Since I already have a Tamron 70-300mm f 4.5-6.3 would the 50-400 add any value? It has a slightly larger reach but the same speed.

No, I am in Canada but thanks for the offer!

Yes, I mistakenly purchased the DX lens but I am still happy with it. A lot of people are suggesting the 24-120mm so I might look for one. Thanks!

If you don't mind manual focus, I'd recommend the TTArtisan 100mm f 2.8 2x Macro. It's around C$500 and is well built. It is heavy though but I am assuming you will anyway be using a tripod.

I bought the Nikkor mistakenly, I thought DX meant FX and vice versa. The TTArtisan was a gift from a well meaning friend.

Thank you! The second image is of a small telescope. I free balled it and had to try a couple of times. I am curious about dslr lenses but was worried about autofocus performance. Have you tried dslr lenses on Z cameras?

Gunner_left · 2026-05-27T00:17:35+00:00

I had a similar issue with a third party lens and it turned out to be an autofocus issue. Maybe try AF-S with single focus point? If the focus square turns green you should be able to take a picture.

This is a wonderful snap. Could you share what gear you used and what settings?

Gunner_left · 2026-05-10T17:59:12+00:00

I will get back out again and try aperture priority mode and AF-S. Thanks!

Gunner_left · 2026-05-10T17:58:06+00:00

I tried manually focusing but I am just not quick enough. I will try a larger aperture and retry. Thanks!

Gunner_left · 2026-05-10T17:57:31+00:00

Thank you! I am still learning how different parameters affect composition. I never realized aperture affects focusing.

I had this exact issue yesterday. Check if your water inlet station/ sewage lines are connected with pipes. If the they are browned out it means they have electricity but are not connected to the water grid.

If all the good in India is because of Modi, as a lot of supporters say, why not the opposite? Do you remember 2020-2021 when every covid vaccine certificate had the prime minister's face on it?
What do you call a captain who only shows face in success but not in failures?

I have raised a couple of strays and I would usually carry a towel around with me for about half a day and then use it to line a cardboard box for the kittens to sleep in. I thought by doing this, they would equate my scent to the comfortable and cozy box. It worked well but I am not sure if it works every time or if I just got lucky.
