The great thing about this one is it gives extra depth to the camera grip so the 'pinkie finger' does not slip off. My finger did slip underneath and while it was not optimal it did not cause me any problems. However the SmallRig bracket provides the extra depth my hands needed. You can also fit and remove the FTZ Adapter with it fitted unlike some other brands.<br />So, I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to Z 6 and Z 7 owners.

One lens that you don't have, the 03 fisheye, is great, once you figure out the focusing.<br /><br />Another area where the Q excels is in using adapted C mount movie lenses (manual focus, of course.) 50mm F1.4 and even 25mm f0.95 are available (although not cheap!) Old CCTV and Television lenses also give some interesting results. There are various macro options as well, although you might have to get creative in adapting them to the Q, I've had excellent results with a 90mm Rodenstock APO enlarging lens and have had some success in adapting old Canon LTM lenses: a 135mm has an effective angle of view of a 600mm full frame lens.<br /><br /><br /><br />I agree with you on the focus-by-wire, it is almost unusable. On manual focus lenses, if you press the OK button you will get a 6x magnified view which helps focus. And when mounting an adapted lens you will be able to enter the Shake Reduction which is a great help when using long lenses.<br />Professor Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802171986501104683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662102916257757792.post-82507997628204226262018-02-01T19:50:43.693-05:002018-02-01T19:50:43.693-05:00Thanks for reading and commenting.

It is a part of what makes YNP the treasure it is. In my opinion it is the closest thing the US has to a trip to Africa (a place I've been three times) relative to the diversity of wildlife and flora that one can see and photograph.<br /><br />How expensive the trip is depends on the how you wish to experience the Park, and to a degree, the amount of time you have for such a journey. I'm fortunate to have plenty of time. And, most of my days and nights in the Park were in my truck (with a shell) - in the front by day, or out hiking, etc., and in the back by night. Much easier for one man or a couple, than a family, to be sure. And, some of the best stuff often requires a very early alarm clock and hiking in pre-dawn light - again not something easily accomplished (or desired on vacation!) for many families.<br /><br />Bottom line, as much as one can see in a trip in late August/early September, it really is only the tip of the iceberg - at least that is my experience. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142024491117261273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662102916257757792.post-54389140230060624732017-09-09T13:06:15.291-04:002017-09-09T13:06:15.291-04:00The park is way too big to be able to do it justic...The park is way too big to be able to do it justice in just one week, I agree. We do plan on returning when we have time and finances to do so. It is not an inexpensive trip when you live thousands of miles away.<br /><br />Having been once, I will definitely have a better plan of attack, so to speak for the next trip.

I ...I'm glad you felt you saw tons of wildlife. I can assure you, you did not see a fraction of what YNP has to offer. Having spent the time I have in the Park, often month after month and in the best times multiple trips within a month, I am certain if you went at a better time, you would discover, as I did, a completely new Park - and the landscape shots (which i shoot very few of) are much better, too, as you are seeing green grass and wildflowers much more than the view that is more typical in late August/early September.<br /><br />There is a direct correlation with people in the Park and visibility of the diversity of wildlife that lives in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. I've witnessed it many times, in several parts of the Park.<br /><br />I understand that timing can be a challenge with jobs, kids in school, etc. I remember being really taken with my first experience in YNP, at about the same time as your first trip. And, I remember the sense of wonder and discovery I had when after a lot of research, I made my next trip - and nearly a couple of dozen since then.<br /><br />I live within driving distance - around 7 hours in the summer, around 10+ in the winter. It's one of the key places I really learned to photograph wildlife. It's great that you had a good experience on this trip, as did I my first venture - but you'll just have to trust me when I say, there is way more to discover and experience - at least there was for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142024491117261273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662102916257757792.post-63892175725660566962017-09-09T12:45:09.532-04:002017-09-09T12:45:09.532-04:00First, thank you so much for taking the time to re...First, thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond. <br />I have had with a few people make the same content about the timing of the trip. Honestly, I did not find the crowds bad at all, with the most congestion being at Mammoth. Even that was not bad.<br /><br />We saw tons of wildlife and only missed moose and wolves personally...and wolves were spotted by others we had talked with on a few stops.<br /><br />I may have only been to Yellowstone once, but I find it hard to believe that any time would be a "worst" time to visit. <br /><br />Hectic working schedules being what they are, this time frame in this particular year worked the best for us and we were not disappointed.

As a person who has made nearly 20 trips to YP, most of them for a week to two at a time, all through the year (for a number of years), you went when the wildlife is among it's lowest and people count near it's highest. I mostly avoid YNP from mid-June through Labor day, with one exception - for otters. I hope you find the trip meaningful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142024491117261273noreply@blogger.com
