I just hope they weren't in a witness protection program.

Got myself a new toy earlier this summer to test out the mirror less thing marketing has been pushing on me as the greatest thing, besides DSLR's are dead right?.

A Nikon Z6 III with a 24-70S F4.0 kit lens & FTZ II adapter thrown in.
Its already making keepers.
I also just had to get the new Tamron F 2.8 70-180mm G2 a few weeks ago, what a nice small package on the Z even to my old 70-200 f 4.0 + FTZ.



Almost got impaled by this guy I really should have asked him permission...





She was more interested in selling her onions.




My first time with a FF digital, love the low light quality, fast frames & manual focusing aides for my numerous vintage lenses.
I feel its putting my learning skills to the test just trying to make the tech fold to my 50 photo yrs of habits.

Less about the forever long (to me) wake up time for the viewfinder and clumsy SD card door implementation.
I also got a headache the first few hours I was trying it out on some birding but got used to it
(may have been just a diopter adjust or the panning stutter)

Gave it a workout at the Jazz fest, car shows, 1700's market, my nieces wedding and A rally over the weekend.

Makes for a great everyday camera. Still much prefer my close to 10 yr old D500 with the Big telephotos and always
ready response for instant fast action... and almost eternal battery life vs Z6.
(Gave up on the Zzz the second day of the Rally last weekend)

Thanks.
Wife and I walked past him. He was absolutely entranced with his phone. Walked back and he was still there. All of a sudden I needed to have a rest and sit down. Camera in lap, screen folded out, a bit of zoom. So discreet. I took 3 pics. Technically not so great but I think that adds to the ..... mmmm... the mood.

Went to big sandy in AZ a couple weeks ago and happened to capture this magical looking shot:

I often have a quick look at my favourite internet sites on my phone while having morning coffee. (I rarely interact with the internet with my phone because tedious.) I was looking through this thread and saw your pic not realizing it was your pic. My first thought was why is some random person posting a screenshot from a sci-fi movie. Then I saw who posted and thought this has to wait 'til I get home.

THAT IS A PHENOMENAL PICTURE!!

I cannot articulate how much I like that.

LOL. It felt like a scifi movie. Parachute flares, pyrotechnic fireworks, chemlight equipped drones, and full auto guns having a ton of fun
