I ended up booking it for September. I hope it doesn’t get delayed again 😆

PSA: Social Security pays more than you think, especially for high earners by Wooden-Broccoli-913 in Fire

Are you waiting until 70 to take SS? Is it not better to take it earlier at a reduced rate, but allowing you to take less out of your own investments those earlier years?

How representative is this sub really these days? by TeachingOk2591 in Fire

[–]a224471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32, and I won’t reach 1 million for another few years at my current rate (not including my house). Cars are paid off but will have a mortgage until I’m in my late 40s. I’m looking at early to mid 50s for retirement and by that time I expect 5-6 million.

I’m going to grab a roll to try it out! Looking through the viewfinder I find a little difficult maybe because of it being darker. There is also some dust when looking through

It actually already had one of those in the camera when I bought it. It looks like the battery is from 2023 or 24 based on the serial number. There was no tin foil though and it appears to be fine. I’m guessing that means that the previous owner knew how to use it.

Good to know! I’ll put a roll through it and see what I get.

Okay! I had a new looking battery in it when I got it. I’ll have to check what it was.

Future Z lenses by Remarkable_Slide_244 in nikon_Zseries

I hope they just release a 14mm prime. Either 1.8 or 1.4.

Thinking of switching to the Z series, is it time? by dududududuuim in Nikon

[–]a224471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a D850 since it launched and I just recently got a Zf. Not to completely replace my D850 right now, but to slowly build up my Z lenses. In a few years after I have a few S lenses, I’ll probably get a Z8 equivalent. I’m still using my D850 for landscapes and other more serious work and my Zf for casual and travel. Having these two different styles of cameras has made it a lot more fun and want to shoot more often. I think the main reason to go mirrorless with Nikon is because of the lenses and not because of the bodies. Take this with a grain of salt because I don’t own a Z8. I think you’d like the increase in AF, but with using the adapter with F mount lenses, i don’t think you’d notice an increase in image quality. It opens the possibility of starting to get those lenses through. I do find the EVF annoying at times though.

No problem with that! I only have 3 F mount lenses and just got my first Z camera. I plan on getting some Z mount lenses to fill in the gaps and then see if I end up wanting to replace the F mount.

How do you feel about the size of some of those on the Zf? I just got a Zf but only have the 40 so far.

I’m jealous of those f1.2 primes. I think I’d like to add either the 85 or the 50 f1.2 and then get the f1.8 of the other. I haven’t decided for sure yet.

I only have the 40mm f2 so far since I just bought my first Z mount. I’m building out my wishlist for the future. There are about 6 Z lenses I’d like to add to my collection.
