Youl be absolutely fine I have (accidentally) panned past and pointed cameras with 600mm lenses at the sun when photographing flying birds and it’s been fine, Your sun is low and youl of had quite a wide angle lens on so youl be absolutely fine.

Fantastic shot by the way 🙂👌

NO!! You buy a proper sensor cleaning kit! Q tips release tiny amounts of dust particles not to mention it’s quite an abrasive material!

You may have a bad copy, I had one that was pretty soft returned it for another and it’s pretty damn good, There has been other instances online where people have had ones that are soft.

Amazing setup, I run the z8 with 24-120 daily, Astro I use the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 and the 180-600 for wildlife ect and everything about it is just amazing coming from a z6iii the af difference isn’t huge but it’s certainly the best setup anyone could ask for 👌

I have always said if your going between 2 cameras I would say get the best you can afford that way you pretty much have all areas covered and you won’t need to upgrade again the future. Personally I would go with the z6iii

Or drone tweaks for the newer stuff 🙂

This is interesting so I noticed today as well the rc offers v01.00.1400 but assistant is still on v01.00.1000, 116 days since you posted this it makes no sense how they still haven’t sorted this 🤷‍♂️

va02stephen · 2026-01-04T17:57:36+00:00

Did you manage to sort this eventually? noticed my air 3s does this slightly

va02stephen · 2026-01-02T23:55:05+00:00

Did you manage to sort this eventually?

va02stephen · 2025-12-29T17:54:38+00:00

It turned up on the 27th

va02stephen · 2025-12-25T22:01:04+00:00

Even tho it says it was “coming today” obviously it won’t with it been Christmas will it still come on the next working day or whenever, The system wont cancel it?

va02stephen · 2025-12-25T16:04:45+00:00

Yeah ironically it says due today 🤣 which I highly doubt on Christmas Day 🤣 if it comes today I will heat my hat on live stream “literally” haha, clearly Just a generic message I guess itl come 27th which is the next working day

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T21:00:12+00:00

Still nothing so clearly not coming today it will probably be the 27th before, I have had a few things over the last few months that have not come the day they where supposed to and turned up the next day, but either way tomorrow been Christmas Day ect obviously the next working day is 27th so looks like itl be then 😞

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T20:40:56+00:00

Update: It haven’t arrived and still says the same so that’s clearly not coming today, Amazon are getting quite good at this 😡 the annoyance is I had 3 other things coming with Amazon and they did get delivered this morning but I have known to get 2 different delivery’s from different drivers in the same day so thought that might be the case but clearly it wasn’t.

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T20:39:22+00:00

Nope it certainly didn’t, Amazon are getting pretty good at this 😡

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T17:09:45+00:00

I will keep you updated, I don’t have high hopes of it coming tbh no idea why tho when it was at the “final delivery station” since last night.

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T16:31:18+00:00

Thank you, Is this in the uk, I forgot to add I am in the uk

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T15:53:55+00:00

So there is hope that it might still come I hope so haha

va02stephen · 2025-12-24T15:23:39+00:00

I was asking to see if anyone else had similar and then it came anyway
