    • A friend of mine just inherited her grandad’s camera. It’s a Minolta 7000 Maxxum 35mm. Looks to me like a later SLR film camera?  she got I think 2 lenses with it,    Anyway this looks like it has a bunch of electronics. Im wondering if anyone is familiar with this model? If so can you please explain any nuances or offer tips & suggestions about using it?    Shes not a noob to photography but is new to manual film cameras. Asked her send pic of the lenses as well, haven’t gotten them yet. The lens shown seems to be a Sigma zoom of some sort tho.    Thanks everyone! Tom      
    • I finally processed and scanned some photos from our New Zealand trip. These few are from Tutukaka on the North Island. I only brought the humble Nikon EM with a 50/3.5 macro lens, very light and capable travel combo. Film was Fujifilm C200 (Japan version), Bellini C41 home processed.

    • Ilkka, I have both the Z 100-400 and 400mm/4.5. Those two lenses serve somewhat different purposes and I travel with both so that I have some tele backup, in case one lens fails, e.g. if I drop it. For example, for my youth orchestra coverage, I would use the 100-400 on one camera to focus the video on a concerto soloist, and I use the 400mm/f4.5 for still images. Sometimes I use the 24-200 for that purpose as its wide zoom range often gives me the exact crop. But I prefer to have f5.6 from the 100-400 than f6.3 from the 24-200. For wide shots, I need the depth of field so that f5.6, f8 is not really an issue, and somewhat lower optical quality is a non-issue for video.
    • Recall that Nikon's Nikkor 28-75mm/f2.8 in the Z mount is essentially version 1 (G1) of the Tamron lens, at least the optics seems identical, but when Nikon introduced that lens two years ago, Tamron already had a G2 version for Sony E, with improved optics. Now Tamron is making the G2 available in the Nikon Z mount, but this one carries Tamron's brand name, not Nikkor as in the previous Z version. The new Tamron lens is $999 in the US. But the Sony version is $899 and currently with $100 off so that it is essentially $1000 for Nikon and $800 for Sony for the time being. Perhaps there will be discounts down the road. https://www.tamron.com/global/consumer/lenses/a063/
