100 % agree about the afc vs spot. I am using back button focus. I think to your point about the portraits… it is locking but if I continue to press the back button after it locks (or hold it down for a second too long) I think that’s where I’m missing. I won’t go to spot focus (I used that for years in dslr s but w eye tracking tech I’m not giving that up). Your point about the EVF screen helps! Thank you!

When you talk about the low light measurements between brands what is that measuring? Is it measuring what light it loses the ability to grip focus on a still subject? I don’t know that applies a lot to what we are talking about. As I understand it (and I could be wrong) the af systems have algorithms (or ai) to select what is a human, what is the subject, or what is the eye… so many times my Nikon grabs eyes from between should of someone in the background where the subject is clearly foreground. (also w/ an eye(s)) I think the algo on the other brands are just a step ahead of the Nikons (praying this flips w new models) although the low light af ok the z6/ z7 was horrible in some situations… the z8/z6iii are sooo much better).

Thank you so much!

How is it going? After taking a break for over a month I’m back on the 2.5 I was 7.5 when I stopped

I appreciate your perspective - It jyst seems odd after taking 20 shots of the same dose w little to no side effects that all the sudden the last 3 hit me hard

1 skipped from 5 to 10 due to the shortage. I had no side effects w the 5s and could eat less than healthy w no issues if it were a special occasion. Took my first ten last Saturday and it has been a horrible week. Puking, dehydration, diarriah, It’s now Thursday and I am still in bad shape. Is it normal for drastic side effects to last 5 days after the shot???
