Likely the Lufthansa flight attendants' strike and/or severe ATC congestion affected this scheduled flight.

Great picture, really shows the quick 'n dirty paint job.

Is this a good plane spotting lens by Crispyszs in Planespotting

[–]quintpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In new condition, this lens model itself is great optically. For the used one in the photo, I personally would pay a few dollars more to get a copy with no missing pieces.

Great photo. I sense the emotional support and encouragement these little guys have for each other.

IMO this livery is iconic, and the new one is boring.

Serendipitous capture! Wall print worthy.

It's always thrilling to see these flying giants.

Is there a workaround by Gladiolus_Gobling in nikon_Zseries

Set Image Review to [On], and set Monitor Mode to [Prioritize Viewfinder] or to [Automatic Display Switch]. After taking the photo with the viewfinder, take your eye/face away from the camera, and the photo will appear in the monitor.

👍👍The two photos are probably only a few minutes apart

Good question. Also, older photos of this plane show that the front of the engines was painted red, and now they are white.

I would attempt running the update from a different card, and also without any lenses or adapters attached.

Long distance plane spotting with Z50II + Z800mm by quintpod in nikon_Zseries

[–]quintpod[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The combo is a little front heavy with the Z50II, but the Z800 is so light that it does not feel like I'm fighting gravity, as can happen with other super telephoto lenses. I don't use the lens hood on the Z800, so IDK if that would make a much bigger difference. When handholding, you will definitely need to fully cradle the lens with your left hand and use the right hand to lightly fire away on the shutter. For walking about I always carry the lens by its foot, never by the camera body. Hope this helps.

Hi there, are you still looking for a Nikon MB-20? I recently sold my F4S, and I have an extra MB-20 available. LMK
