I discussed the details for building a pass-through extension ring for the Z system with my friendly Nikon repair tech today. My aims are of course firstly the 50/1.8S, and secondly the mighty 58/0.95 when it arrives. We went through all the technical part drawings (which I cannot reproduce as they are classified) and decided upon the parts required. They are now ordered and should arrive within a few weeks' time.

Afterwards, I snapped a photo of him in the bad tech-lab lighting and he did a complimentary free cleaning of my Z6 ... which was a bit more dirty on the sensor than I had thought.

It obviously pays to build and develop relationships.

Candid face af vs stage face af. I have never thought the later will actually work but it does.
First one with 105mm 1.4, rest with 70-200 2.8e

Smaller focus point and some more time. Beginning and end of the piece used light levels even lower and some artificial mist to boot. "Getting to now your gear" series.

low light performance seems to be same ballpark as D5. Very impressive

Paco, nice teaching aid and images.  I was surprise how quiet the Z6 shutter is EFCS.  Would not even need to go full Silent for much of my music shooting.
Many thanks for sharing.

How much menu diving is involved in the daily use of the Z6?

Honestly, very little.
I have a few things in MyMenu just in case, but rarely do I go in there.  Mostly it is to switch out the manual focus lens info.  Other things like AF settings are in the "i" menu.
