Hello everybody, I am a rejoining old boy of a few years ago.
I have just purchased a Z6 and the kit lens and hope to enjoy your company!
Some of you may even remember me
Merry Christmas to all
-
Mike welcome back.
-
Hello Mike, and most welcome back to NG and the Z League :)
-
Hello Mike and welcome back.
Looking forward to your Z adventures!
I am enjoying my Z6 very much.
-
Nice to see you again, Mike !
Many Z users here (mostly Z6)... ;)
-
Thank you one and all for the warm welcome.
Glad to hear there are a few Z users around, so far I’m very impressed with the Z6, it isn’t perfect of course but no doubt firmware updates will improve the machine to a point where there will be continued tweaking and improvement.
Coming from an mu-43 system the lenses seem a bit on the big side yet, but my muscle memory will adjust fairly quickly!
It will be nice to catch up with you all in the meantime Happy Crimbo and a prosperous new year.
Regards Mike

Welcome back Mike, I'm sure you"ll enjoy your Z!
-
Welcome back, Mike!
When I read your post to another forum, I suspected you would come back here. ;D
-
Welcome back !
-
Welcome back to the place that is always friendly!
-
Welcome back Mike!
I am so glad that you have gravitated back to where you belong.
-
Glad to see you back here, Mike. I also have a Z6 that I'm enjoying.
-
WOW, I’m overwhelmed by the warm welcome from a lot of names I remember from my previous sojourn of a few years ago and equally other people I’ve met on other forums!
Perhaps I should never have left, but I thought it was the honourable route to follow at the time, I think I might have been wrong!
I look forward to interacting with you in the near future.
God bless one and all and have a super Christmas.
Regards
Mike

Welcome back, Mike, and congratulations on the new camera.
What did you do with the G9?
-
Mike , you've been missed. Have a great Holiday season and enjoy your Z6. Good camera and fun to use :)

Anthony, as of the moment I still have it and the ten lenses. Probably as time passes they will be sold off or PXed for more Nikon lenses if the experiment goes well!
I had previously decided to part with kit I wasn't using.
The G9 is a super camera and the lenses are top notch, but I like to crop and obviously mu-43 is a bit short on pixels for doing that!

I shot with a G9 and the excellent Leica 42.5 (85 FX angle of view) a few weeks ago at a photowalk organised by Wex and Panasonic. I was impressed, although there was no time to understand all the facilities of the camera. But it is rather large, and, like you, I like to be able to crop, so a larger sensor is useful.

Welcome back Mike. The Z6 is a great Camera !!
-
Welcome back, Mike. Not on a Z (yet).
-
Welcome back Mike :D and congratulations on the new Z6
Seems like a great new camera
-
Maybe; maybe not.
I suspect that the G9 with a small core group of your more frequently used M43 lenses lenses would still have a place if you have a need to travel light.

Hugh, I think I’m going to agree with you, I have three or four lenses that I never use so they will probably make their way to the for sale list along with a G9 battery grip which has never been taken out of the box, the proceeds from their sale will go a long way to finance the Nikkor Z 14-30mm f4!
Merry Xmas Hugh

Merry Christmas Mike. Hope it is not too cold where you are. Warmish here.
I picked up a Z6 and a 14-30mm two days ago. Have had a Z7 and a 24-70mm/4 for a quite while now. Will use the FTZ and F-mount lenses for the longer glass.
FWIW, I have hung onto my Olympus M43 gear for the travelling light option, but I never got out of Nikon and find that the two formats to be quite compatible for my needs. Others mileage might vary as they say.
