After a three hour walk by the river Saar and an excellently cooked lunch in a totally underannounced Dutch family business called "Im Fährhaus" in Saarburg I just sat by the river near Konz seeing the sunrays play on the leaves and relaxed. What a treat last Saturday!

Technical: D850 with Neo-Noct at f/2

That lens has very nice rendering. Lovely delicate image, Frank.

Thank you all.

  Fons, this is lens is something. For me it changes character from wide open to f2.8 to f8 and I love them all.

Fons, beautiful "rgb" scene. Love the color and depth arragement.

   John, when in darker places, my Z6 gives a lighter image than is going to be recorded. At night -or stage- I usually end up lifting the raw by up to one stop, sometimes more. Do you have a similar experience.
   The back sreen is more accurate in this regard for me so far.

You mean the view-finder Paco?    Yes, sometimes it is flooded with light in the dark, especially if you focus to 100%    I have the same experience.  Also when you come from the light in the dark, the viewfinder will be much too bright.  Also when you switch on the camera in the dark.    It is a matter of fine-tuning, haven't find a system yet. 

In the dark is working via the back screen no problem of course,  especially because the swith between EVF and Backscreen on the Z6 is very smooth.

[golunvolo]

Same here. I have tried to fine tune the brightness in the evf with no success. I´m getting use to it by now.

[John Geerts]

It's part of the camera. No camera is perfect   

At close distance, the effects are not so large.

a band of young people played in the village I visited on the weekend ... more in the dedicated thread that I created...

Cool. Light catch. It looks like he is playing a "cajón". Pretty common percussion instrument in flamenco assemblies
