My name is Zak Viemon and I have been shooting Nikon for the last 15 years. I literally have owned almost every Dslr made by Nikon and almost every lens old and new apart from all the 400mm plus side. All my life I wished that Nikon would make a Nikon D4s camera in a small package since that was my dream camera and the camera I had come to love more than any other. Sony made my dream camera when releasing the A9 but the ergo was so horrific that I never bounced. Then Nikon released the Nikon z6 and z7 cameras. What a disappointment. No secondary slot, and the one feature I adored on my 3 Nikon D4s’s, the astonishing 3D tracking was completely unusable. Then Sony came out with the a9 ii. But ergot was still horrible for my taste. Then I crossed my fingers and hoped that the next gen Nikon mirrorless cameras would be what I craved for. What a disappointment again. It was at that point in my career that I decided that Nikon was no longer a viable option for me. It was then that Canon decided to release the R6 and R7 bodies. My oh my. Finally my dream came true. The camera that I patiently waited Nikon to create was finally released by Canon. The sensor of a 6500 dollars body, 1dx mark 3, 3D tracking to die for (servo), tilt screen, high burst rate, tilt screen wonderful ergos, perfect body for only 2500 euros. I knew Nikon would at some point release a D6 replacement in a mirrorless package but I wasn’t going to drop 7000 dollars on that body. So I sold all my Nikon gear, 3 Nikon D4s, 2 Nikon D4, 2 Nikon dfs, the 85 1.4d, the 85 1.4g, the 120-300 sigma 2.8f sport, the 300 2.8f Nikon, the 70-200 2.8, the 15-30 tamron 2.8, the 24-70 tamron 2.8, all my primes and believe me they were a lot and I decided to jump ship. I bought an R6, the 28-70 f2 to replace all my primes, the 85mm f2 to replace my macro and portrait lens, the 17-35 tamron 2.8-4, and finally the lens I craved for all my life. The 200mm 1.8 f. It works like a charm on the R6 and the ef to r adapter. My model number is UG 0511. It came with protection covers those military coloured ones. The glass elements hare perfect inside, no crystallisation from glue evaporating, no fungus and almost None dust particles. So happy for that. The exterior body has seen little to no wear. There is only a small dent on the lens barrel in front not affecting anything. This lens is crazy sharp!!!!! And I mean it. It blows my previously owned 300 2.8 Nikon out of the water. It is difficult to find the drop in filters but I overcame that problem by buying the vnd filter for the ef to r adapter. This lens is something else. And the focus speed on my R6 is FAAAAAAAAAAST!!! Tracking fast paced subjects like a charm. Will post some photos really soon. Sorry but not sorry Nikon. We had a good run but I am never looking back. Nice to find this thread. Welcome to the Light side GEAR LIST

Very hard to com by when I was looking. I expect even more so today. I had managed to acquire the entire set. (clear, CPL, etc.) Sold them with the lens though. GEAR LIST

airbutchie Not too crunchy ![]() More info | ^ So you would like to know if a CPL would work for portraiture work? Just want to make sure that's what you're asking, Tirpitz... Hi. My name is Butch...
