I do not shoot RAW files and do not do any post-processing  , although I will sometimes (very occasionally) do a bit of "sharpening" using Irfanview , but nothing else , I try to use "straight out of the camera" JPEG files when using digital cameras.

The same thinking applies when I am using Film , scanning the Negative as a JPEG without any post processing at all.

If a picture looks good to me , fine , and if it does not look so good to me , so what!.

Agonizing over the quality of a picture is counter-productive and a waste of time in my opinion.

Photography is our hobby so don't sweat the small stuff.

If you have to earn money with your camera different criteria will apply.

Just read a user comment from India. To fix the eyelet issue, Nikon take the Z8 apart and apply stronger glue from the inside. Apparently there is a holding pin and the glue helps keeping that in place. Assuming they don't run out of glue, there is no spare part concerns. However, it takes longer to disassembly the Z8, apply the glue and let that dry, and finally put it back together. It is a simple fix but requires round-trip shipping. 😐

It is indeed a sad day when Nikon has to resort to the sticky stuff to repair their (expensive) products.

How the mighty have fallen 😒.

Every 2 months or so , I expose my unused lenses to direct sunlight for about 2 hours at a time to try and PREVENT fungus growth.

These lenses are stored in a zip-up light tight bag because I have nowhere else to store them.

Am I wasting my time , or is there perhaps a better procedure that I should use.

Thank you.

Interesting news.

IF they can make a good quality camera with NO plastics or electronics , and of equal quality to their old manual Pentaxes.

But somehow I do not think that this product will be acceptable to modern photographers , or be economically viable for Pentax.
