It is interesting to see how each and everyone of us is measuring the Zs against his/her personal uses and needs. We keep stretching the parameters of the test to better understanding.
I just spend a whole day walking around a new city with the Z6 and 24-70/4s. Examples to come soon.

The Z6 is by far the best camera I have used with the PB-4 and the Micro-Nikkor 55 mm f3,5. No special precautions where taken to ensure a sharp image and the lighting was just normal indoor lighting with no natural light. The cross section of the Color Checker passport is approximately 12 mm. It is even fairly easy to use outside with gloves :) I like it!

I have now read thru the whole thread and I am slightly more confused now than I was before ;D I guess things will fall into place as I learn the pitfalls of this camera.
Welcome back Børge and good luck with the Z6.  Hopefully you learned something new ;)

Thank you John! I realize that I will only scratch the surface of the knowledge some of you guys have. But I am just in it for the fun ;)

Is possible to do quick check of the lens re: decenter??

Any advice, please....

Not a bad idea if there was such a thread that just focusses on camera set up.  Whilst there is a lot of very good information on the setting up of the Z6/7 cameras, many of the existing threads are now very large with hundreds of postings and it can be a challenge to quickly search out the relevant information.

Thanks! I have a lot to learn about Z systems autofocus! Would people want a separate thread here for Z system AF discussion?

I just purchased the Z6 kit, so will probably try this test:
