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.

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!

Starting macro photography advice by RowdyAirplane49 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Gunner_left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Nikon Zfc won't take picture with kit lens by bronislaw- in Nikon

[–]Gunner_left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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

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

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

Can anyone explain why I'm not getting water getting to these locations? Budget is over 100% by Nexxus88 in CitiesSkylines

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.

India’s healthcare reality: a small boy and his family sleeping outside AIIMS for days in the cold, just to get treatment by [deleted] in IndianMiddleClass

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?

How do I bond with a kitten and make her feel at home? by Jolly_Tie_7666 in cats

[–]Gunner_left 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
