Nikon Z6/7 mirrorless system

Paco, your description is as clear as your images!

I haven´t paid attention until you asked. It means is not difficult. As long as there is a bit of light the deep black lines on top and bottom are very clear. Even if there is no light, information icons in white, also top and bottom, go to the four corners and that, I realize just now looking, helps with framing in the dark.
   There is always turning on the grid (item menu d9). It is made of white lines. It can be distracting but it works if needed.

Thank you for sharing your observation.  I preferred simpler screen image and kept the displayed information to the minimum, so I highly depended on the frame.

On Panasonic cameras, EVF or LCD, will display light gray (not white) lines at the border of the frame to indicate the selected format (1:1, 9:16, etc.).  It is a brilliant idea and I had absolutely no problem of discerning the lines.  Unfortunately, the border of the screen was still used as part of the frame, so I sometimes struggled with discerning it.

Paco, fantastic review, thank you

[Frank Fremerey]

very helpful information, Paco. Thank you.

Thanks to all for useful tips/info!
After fiddling with my Z6 for a few days there is one thing that stands out; ease of using MF lenses. I’ve assigned the front lower (Fn2) button to 100% zoom and this makes for an ergonomically smooth way of focusing.
I also set the d2 (Apply settings to live view) off to leave the EVF as neutral as possible.
Still lots to investigate...

The Markins L-bracket (LN-Z7) arrived today. It is a nicely finished piece of robust aluminium and fits the Z camera like a glove. My GPS device (Foolography) now sits safely ensconced inside the L and even the unlikely event of receiving a hammer blow to the side of the camera won't harm it.

The associated bracket for the FTZ adapter is on back order, but hopefully will be dispatched within this week.

Landscape again suddenly changed appearance over night. We had a moderately cold spell (-10C) but sufficient to cover everything in the glaciated grip of winter.

A snapshot with the 200/2 AFS from my veranda to document the change. The shadows are intensively blue due to open sky and very low solar elevation. Jpg straight off camera.

A snapshot to demonstrate the quality of the 24-70/4S.

Z7, f/4.5, 200ISO, 1/400sec.

(the 100% is from the NEF processed in Photo Ninja 1.3.7, as this opens shadows better than the direct jpg)

#172 looks a tad underexosed and shadow/highlights tamed a lot

The first image was a downscaled jpg straight off the camera. Afternoon winter sunshine is very soft, by the way.

so it is an orange tinted soft light of the low angle winter sun?

[Birna Rørslett]

Yes, that is correct. The automatic w/b is spot on. The sun was almost grazing the horizon.

Thanks Birna for demonstrating the 24-70mm resolving power. Impressive!

The proof is in the pudding 
VR works great, an example of 58mm @ 1/8sec

Yes, this 24-70/4S is pretty impressive.  I need to post process the images from tonight... But I'm all set to sell off the 24-70/2.8G if it turns out to be what I hoped.  I
