I managed to get some fine images and they printed to 8x10 just fine, but I never liked those tiny camera bodies without sufficient dedicated buttons and was suspicious about the tiny sensor. I used the V1 for a while with two kit lenses. However, a few yeas after that, Contax was losing too much money and got out of the camera business altogether, and I am left with orphaned products.īack in 2011 when Nikon introduced the 1" mirrorless cameras, Nikon USA sent me a sample to test. I thought it was a great choice for a while. After carefully considered it for two years, I bought a Contax 645 body, two Contax Zeiss lenses and two interchangeable film backs. At least to me, that is fairly important, just like whether the Z9 (and other Nikon bodies, lenses) has a lot of defects and buggy firmware is important to me.Ģ0 years ago, before digital became so popular with great quality, I determined that 35mm film wasn't good enough for large prints and decided to invest in a medium format film camera, and my logic was that I would replace film with a digital back when the time arrived. How well the Z9 is selling and how well Nikon manages to deliver them reflect the health of Nikon as a company. Needless to say I have invested a lot in Nikon gear, in both the F mount and now Z mount. I have been using Nikon cameras for 45 years, since 1977. I personally don't care, but I get why some do. These threads will exist, especially for flagship product. Provided these cameras work and come with warranties valid in the UK (and worldwide - in that order) why should I or you care?įirst and foremost, this is a gear site. I might well get a 3rd body or wait for the Z8 from the same sources or different who knows? It will all depend on how urgent my need is. I happen to have 2 Z9, 400mm and 800mm both were bought via top UK based suppliers - how they got hold of them is up to them and Nikon Europe. On has to asks why does this seem to matter so much to you and others.ĪND how would you know precisely which body is shipped where. It does seem interesting to at least some of us that there seem to be no data points for EU/UK after 28th February - and numerous ones for USA.
Nobody is required to advise pohotosynthesis. If the 21st March deliver is higher than 6500 it would be a new EU/UK data point if sent to .nz Serial # run 115xxx to 123xxx.Just below 6500 was delivered to a UK retailer on 28th Feb. Like 7S but RF adjustment port moved to the "N" and Canon marking on camera top. RF adjustment port in front of shutter dial. Like 7 but CdS meter replaces selenium meter of the 7.

Reflective lines in finder for 50 & 100 lenses. Bright lines for 50 & 100 lenses and automatic parallax correction. 1st model with single shutter speed dial.
