NIKON Z8

The most sophisticated full frame mirrorless camera is Nikon Z8, so some rumor says. It was supplied to me by my son accidentally recently. Remember the past, my photographic equipment are all supplied in the same way unintentionally.

SONY A9 has been contributing for my photo hobby without specific dissatisfaction and all the lenses I'm keeping are E mount by way of any adapter rings, most of them are manual focusing system.

As for my surprise, Z8 model has "Focusing Aid" formed at left lower corner, this is really a great gospel for a manual focusing user like myself, remembering the silversalt period with NIKON F autofocusing period. Also Basic with star mark setting shows the same by color transformation from red square to green one. 

Relatively heavy with 900 gr weight as Z8 is, it's body bulk could make it possible to hold even with a little finger so firmly, stoutness is one of the most indispensable requirement I declare. Especially, in case of some long forcal length lens setting up, this condition proves this phenomena in addition to the diameter of the bayonet flange. 

APS-C E mount is fragile easily distorted and not suit with heavy lenses. On the other hand, SONY A9 lacked this physical property because of too small body design, though another performances are almost perfect. In addition, all the SONY genuine lenses are interchangeable on NIKON Z mount without any inconvenience, no matter how electric interaction might exist or not.

Consequently, a newcomer Z8 with 45 megapixel image sensor would be one of an essential equipment from now for sure. 

Jane's Law

Cicada started to cry this morning for the first time this Summer. I feel one year like five days interval, this is Jane's Law.

Before long Radio News told that Mr. Trump was shot while his allocation, but he was not killed.

Conflicts repeats all the time because of money!

Human being is still now animal.

Inbound recovered

Since COVID19 disastor, foreigh tourists have increased in number, let's say Inbound has recovered recently.

Early in the morning around 7:30 AM, I visited Fushimi-Inari Shrine since 1 year interval. Most of the visitors there were from some foreign coutries and around 9 o'clock, it became crowded as usual week day. Though a bit far from the central Kyoto, Fushimi-Inari Shrine must be so popular among foreign visitors, also so to speak Inbound recovered as before. JR Kyoto line and Keihan Line have each stations at very close places .

Shooting objects there were similar with last year for me but different. 

 

Rotten heart!

Poisoned and rotten people brought this disastrous result. US planned War Guilt Information Program performed 80 years ago is still now available and people follow after a bell sound like a group of sheep.

So far as we follow US power so blindly, our military force would be obliged to fight with some enemy country. Our no war constitution will never take effect at all. 

Our revolution!

Tonight, on Tanabata, a revolution will take place in Tokyo. It will depend on the outcome of the Tokyo gubernatorial election. 

If we miss this critical opportunity to bring about a revolution, the miserable slave state will continue to exist for a long time to come. 

The true character of our people will be put to the inspection test.

It will blow a hole right through the hierarchy of Japanese society, which is based on money-driven culture.

 We await good news until dark.

On 33x44 format? Incredible usage of Zuiko Digital 9~18mm/f4.0~5.6!

Zuiko OM system MF mount onto GFX flange was fabricated in the condition of establishing infinity focusing with its installed shortest fuselage.

Focusing performance is done by rotating zooming ring from installed position to extending to functional designed position, with so quick action, sometimes difficult to focus at the desired position, because the rotation of zoom ring is made with applying of focusing action. Irregular use increases fliction resistor. In short, all the group and element move when focusing.

This kind of out-law, distorted, crazy and unusual modification is worth doing to put a 7.20mm focal distance lens on the large format, 33x44.

As a matter for big surprize, Zuiko Digital Zoom 9~18 for Micro 4/3 is fully applicable on large format especially if  16:9 aspect ratio is set.

Remember here, no irreversible modification on the original Micro Four thirds bayonet flange mount at all.

Let's say it just interesting!
