I keep trying to get acquainted with the DJI mavic 3 drone. The points of view are mind blowing but the quality, even at full sun, low iso and f5.6...something is not right. Working on files right now.

Same applies here as elsewhere in the world of photography: if it doesn't work -- get closer :)

The scenery looks familiar, though. I think we did a photo_op around that watch tower?

That is the tower where we took the photos a while ago?


& Gibraltar with a cloud topping!

  Yes, that is the 1st tower up the coast from La Línea. We did shot around and even from the top  ;)

At the pursuit of the black grouse - Leica Q2 - Nikon Z8 & Z 400mm f/4.5 & TC 1,4x
Today it was really worth to get up at 4 o'clock to search for the black grouse at 1'800m ASL

Sounds like the aches from your body are now less than your urge to get stellar & interesting images Daniel.
I'm curious that you didn't get dragged off by the Gendarmes for using a handy without due care & consideration  :P

Thank you, Jan. I use that button to change the autofocus area mode. However, there is another button that might be a contender.

That is a very pleasing rendering, foreground as well as background. Also the color transitions are great, reminds me of APO Lanthar 125mm f/2.5 and Noct- Nikkor 58mm f/1.2

Thanks Richard.

I am not too sure of how the lens aperture is to be accurately set with this adapter.

This link has some usage information:  https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005011921899971.html

A new kid on the block, in terms of chipped adapters. Shoten.

A slew of new adapters, virtually anything > Nikon Z. The adapters are chipped, so get green box focus confirmation & traffic lights. Also, the firmware text file can be written with up to 10 different lens profiles.

Though not quite up to Rayqual standards, I have always found Shoten adapters to be solidly made and reliable. It’s a quasi Japanese brand, though manufacturing seems to be done in China. The included USB cable is straight-outa-China, for sure. But here in Japan it is more attractive than the pure Chinese brands as there is at least some chance of local support. Also, the price! One gets a chipped lens mount with an included a Z adapter for considerably less than just a Sony > Z chipped adapter.

Hi Richard,
That sounds promising. Apparently you can select the lens profiles by taking a shot at a specific aperture – let’s see how practical that is. But even if you use a dedicated adapter for each lens, the Shoten solution seems to be cheaper than the Neweer/Funmount option. Nikon F to Z adapters seem to be sold out at the moment, so I’ve ordered an M42 to Z adapter for my Zeiss Jena lenses. I’m really looking forward to it. I like the look of the Shoten adapters; they match the aperture ring on the old Nikkor lenses perfectly.

Very nice, Gil!

I especially like the 3rd one, very nicely done with the path of the lights mimicking the stair case(s).
