[Leica] Nikon Z50: 3 Dog Photos, 2 Others

[Howard Cummer]

HI Robert,

Can you rent a Nikkor Z 24mm f1.8 S <https://www.thecamerastore.com/15560-Nikkor-Z-24mm-f1-8-S.aspx>
to test out the AF speed? As a D500 user and bird in flight
photographer AF speed and AF capture time is important to me.
The EVF cameras it seems are not as good at focus capture
as the old  fashioned SLRs are - at least as far as Nikons go.

Lovely dogs BTW.

Happy New Year,

Howard

Due to (mostly) age related physical infirmities I'm experimenting with
smaller, lighter, less expensive autofocus gear.  Last week I rented a
Nikon Z50 with the two lens kit from lensrentals.com <http://lensrentals.com/>.  Here are three dog
shots:

I'm not fully convinced it's the camera for me....not full frame yet not
pocketable.....the two lenses are very slow....the autofocus is therefore
iffy....but I do like the Kodachrome colors that Nikons produce (thanks,
Paul Simon):
