Interesting comment Bruce.
Could you please explain the color differences between the two cameras (Z6 vs Z7)?
Just curious (I do not plan to buy a Z7
)
Thanx.
Riccardo
Riccardo,... my assessment of color might apply to the Z7, but I forgot to include the following... "at high ISO's."
I have been amazed by the smooth transition of subtle colors in the sky and water at ISO 6400. At this iso, noise often creates some undesired patterns as does the use of contrast and clarity sliders. I rarely see artifacts when I process my Z6 files aggressively.
Does this make sense?

Sunrise at Moraine Lake. Z6 + 14-30 & 24-70 2.8S. I don't think I'll see the Rockwall this empty during summer months ever again. Parking space? No problem.

Moraine Lake classic + fat animal. 24-70 2.8S / 70-200 f4.
The fat mule deer (?) is the extent of wildlife photography I do.

More Rockies spam.
Z6 + 14-30 + 24-70 2.8S + 70-200 f4 = a relatively light day hiking setup with great image quality and very 'maleable' files.

Luke that's a fat deer alright! Envious of your Banff time... I don't think I'll make it to the Rockies this year.
Recent adopter of the Z6; took the 85/1.8S out early in the morning. Was impressed with how it looks wide open at various distances.
Larger - Z6 / Z 85/1.8 @ f1/8, IIRC focus was on the middle tank. Subject is about 300 feet away.

Cheers! It was perfect timing to road trip there this year with stable/low covid case numbers and good weather.
The 85mm is great. Imo Z-mount 50/85 and 24-70 2.8S are all some of the best lenses Nikon has made. Can't wait for 70-200.

I'm afraid to try out the 24-70/2.8S. Maybe down the road a bit. I picked up my usual three... 35/50/85 and am happy with all of them. I have a bunch of F mount glass and am delighted by how nice these three Z primes look in comparison. My plan is to spend some time with these and then go wider although I have some MF AIS lenses kicking about if I need something in the interim.

Don't try the 20/1.8S either.
The Z6 is made for those beautiful Nikkor MF-lenses.

I've been tempted already. :-) After selling my Zeiss 18mm (used on the A7R and GXR), a lens I loved, I've really missed having the wider end.
In the meantime, there's a 20/2.8 AI-s sitting on a friend's shelf that might end up in my bag for a trial run real soon now.
I might not shoot much with my 50/1.4 (although it is more compact) and 85/2 AI-s though... as I sure love these new Z lenses, but the 135/2 heavy as it is will be fun to bring out from time to time.
