I had invested in Trinity, assuming price drop with discount could be the best. Z systems was on the horizon- this was 6 years back, never thought transition would pick up so fast(totally my assumption and goodwill thinking on my F system will last for 10 years. Five plus years down. I do not own any F lens or camera, Significant shock on my NAS $$ loss. Here I go again, Planning to put my NAS fund to test again. Z8 on horizon (Mothers Day Gift - for my kids mom, which I will use 🙂), Planning push my Z5 on trade. May be thinking about Trinity again (advance invest on Fathers day) . Thanks to PayBoo and Shun...🙏 ( for this post and PayBoo suggestion). My point is next technological change in Nikon Systems may be 5-7 years away. We cannot predict currency market and I may still get 1/3 of my investment back on trade and I am not in Finland ( wow those prices are really high + VAT) Starting a week on a lighter note. Have a great week ahead to you all.

Thanks Shun Too Tempting. Went to site and did trade in value for my current gear 🙂 Z8 may be overkill for my kind of hobby work. my NAS still says go for it. I hope Nikon comes with new Z6/7 III soon. Knowing JY going down, Z6III and Z7III may get priced at 2000 and 2700ish. Perfect pricing for me to buy a new body(Z6III) and a 70-200 2.8 🙂 Fingers crossed.

Hi All, Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings In Mid-January on my International trip. I have two days stopover in Istanbul (Courtesy Turkish Airline 🙂). I will be hoteling in old city. Any suggestions on what to cover? Also, camera safety (Thinking about going with Z5 and 24-120) Thank you.

Some of My Medellin Colombia Trip shots on B500

Hi All, Finally came back from my tour. Excellent place for photography. Never felt unsafe with my B500 :). Saw few people with big Nikon and Canon gear. Some part of downtown was bit crowded and with a potential risk. Rest of the places I visited were felt completely safe. I had my camera out whole time. Really beautiful country and best people. Planning another trip soon
