Ruth is to perform at a reunion concert with her old rock band this weekend and we had some discussion as to the best dress for the occasion, before deciding on this bright red one with black lace trim.

A nice opportunity to test that the Z9 works after the recent make-shift "untiling" operation, and that the Viltrox 75mm F/1.2 has survived the bad knocks and bumps it -- unintentionally -- received of late. Shooting the lens almost wide open answered both question with a resounding 'yes'.

  I guess it is the day of the beauties.... Lovely dress Birna and presentation. The color isolation and the graphic touch of the hunger to render the dress ethereal and gorgeous red.

Not as planned but got there.

I'm using the 40/2 SE on Zfc and Zf, and on Z5 (for IR). It works very well on all these bodies. No complaints as to AF functionality and accuracy on either of these cameras.

In a reportage I used the 1.0/50V the Z2.0/40 the AF-S1.4/24 and the AF-S1.8/85


The only lens that gave me mushy pics was the Z2.0/40

Bad luck ? I just reviewed all photos I made with this lens since I bought it : no issues, and certainly not AF (except when the face recognition picked up the wrong person), not even in bad or low light. Under which conditions did you get mush?

nice one; clock and eyebrows are sharp. A Swiss watchmaker training course?

Salut Airy,

this weekend the watchmaker school and some independent watchmakers exhibited their trade in a castle at Yverdon-Les-Bains.

I shot over 500 pictures yesterday while in Rotterdam the Zf icw mainly the Z28mm f/2.8 some with the Z40 f/2.8 and a few with Z85 f/1.8S, the number of failed shots i guess about 10 or a few more, some errors on my part definitely some where the camera or lens failed to focus.
What i did change in my setup i locked the focus point in central frame and turned off the focus to coincide with vr..

I have been travelling with limited access to decent wi-fi. However, I have tried to keep an eye on things.
