Will do!

Thank you! And cheers!

Oh, I see!

That’s to Damien, Damien 😉 I found the one for Brian though, thanks!

Saw this tonight, got in on the sale! Thanks! Now I’m looking for your donate a bier button I thought I had seen somewhere. 🍺 I will definitely be reading through your recommendations a few more times. And yes on the polarizer! I have one for my D5000!

Hi Brian! Thanks for your lengthy replies! This is exactly the information I was hoping for. Glad to see you are happy about my question! Anyway, you’ll be happy to hear, I followed your advice about 2 years ago and have a 27” iMac with 2TB HDD, 8GB Radeon pro graphics and currently 40GB of RAM (have only upgraded 2 slots) and some of your external HDD recommendations. So, yes, you’ve already unknowingly spent my money in the past 😆 Camera gear is from before I had found “ask Brian”. Nikon D5000, 18-55 kit lens, 55-300mm 4.5-5.6G and (don’t kill me) the 50mm 1.4G 😅 I find myself typically photographing landscapes, wildlife, macro (love mushrooms!) my kids primarily now, they are starting to get into sports, and I do love low light captures. I’ve got about 12k saved up, so I think I’m ready for a body plus one magnificent lens for starters. And hello! 👋 I didn’t realize you were in PA! I just moved here last month! I absolutely want to buy once, and buy right. I don’t plan to upgrade any gear in the future. And I also read that lens comparison you linked to above before posting my question! So I’m aware of the differences I’ll need to get used to by switching from DX to FX. Excited for your reply! 😁

Hi Brian! I’ve appreciated your advice in the past, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I didn’t find anything here in a search. So here’s my question: I’ve been wondering about the Z9 since it came out. What’s your take on it? I’ve been saving up for a full frame for quite a while, and that one’s been hyped up since before it’s been available. And it’s still backordered, but I’m patient. Anyway, I’m wanting to ditch the crop sensor, so I’d need a lens to start out with too. I’m not a pro. I know if there are some drawbacks or issues, you’ll be sure to tell😉 Thanks!

Thank you!

I was planning on buying a new iMac early last year, but held off because of the widespread chip flaw. Is that still an issue currently? I’m not in a hurry, would probably wait till next spring anyway, I think the new ones usually come out then.
