I just switched from Canon (1DXll) to Nikon and upgraded to Z6ll because of you. I didn't lose any money as I had a bunch of old Canon glass that I wasn't using, at all, which I sold, so my switch was actually smooth and instead of putting me in deficit, I profited from it. Got the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8, so now all I miss is 300mm f4 and 600mm f4 but as I can do most of my work with just the 24-70, I will wait for the Z versions of 300mm and 600mm lenses, rather than buying the adapter and FX lenses. The grip for the Z6ll is amazing and although it is slightly different, it feels very much like I am holding Nikons D5 or D6 - very similar to my old 1DXll. I am more than happy with the camera and how it performs. I do miss the dual pixel AF for my videos, however the difference is barely noticeable, Nikon did a very, very good job - otherwise I would be jumping on the R6 train. Amazing video as always! I do portraiture and documentary work, nothing even remotely close to wildlife (not yet!) but I still enjoy watching your videos and don't miss a single one! Love your work and you're amazing as a person! Greetings from Croatia and Austria!

I would use a blower first to blow off sand before I went in with the 'ladies brush'. I also remove the neoprene and let the lens to dry. Why don't you use a rain cover to save you all the cleaning later? Here is Ireland gets very wet and I use a Think Tank hydrophobia 300-600 and keeps my lens and camera completely dry. You can shower off the sand from the rain cover with the camera/lens under it. Good tip about removing battery and memory card from the camera before you put it in the bag.

This may help someone. The technique I use is to put the screw on my canon 500mm f4 lens hood dead at the top centre of the lens, when mounting the lens hood. I now use the flash mount, and the lens screw, like you would use shooting sights on a gun. I follow or line up my point of interest, then look through the lens, and i got use to what the difference is between the two line’s off sight. I can very quickly be on my subject of interest. I hope this helps someone. Keith. UK 🇬🇧

Your training tips were very useful. I look forward to practicing them when my winter photography of birds in flight begins in New Mexico. After shooting landscapes and still subjects and small perched birds most of the year, I always feel a bit rusty tracking the larger flying birds returning to the Bosque del Apache wetlands here. Your care and cleaning routines were marvelous, and I was gratified to find I was doing almost exactly the same things with my equipment. I feel reassured that I am doing the best I can to preserve my equipment. I loved this video. Thank you so much, Morten!
