  • Yep - its a symptom of mirrorless cameras. The IDK if you were shooting in af-s or af-c, but if you’re using af-s, you can enable the af assist illuminator in the menus. - Custom settings>a12 in firmware 4.1 Also… take off your lens hood. The af assist led can very easily be blocked by it.

    The reason for low light af issues is that Nikon cameras and possibly all mirrorless cameras have the focus sensor behind the green filter and as such your red/infrared af-assist lamp on your flash is utterly useless i’m afraid. Its really annoying that even several years after mirrorless cameras appeared, there are no speedlights out there with a green af assist lamp. Grrrrrrr.

    Looks like it might be something you’d use in a darkroom when printing B&W. B&W paper isn’t sensitive to red light so you can use that to see what you’re doing… Tho it’s would only be for printing… Not for developing the film tho… That is still sensitive to all wavelengths :)

    1.6kg? Is that it? Try 7kg+ :) 3.5kg for long lens and body and the rest from other lenses, backpack, tripod etc. As it happens I don’t tend to get neck strain. It’s most likely down to a decent strap, carrying sling style and luck 😂

    In seriousness tho… I used to have a much lighter kit and used a standard Nikon strap which could only really be worn around my neck. Yeah a sore neck was almost guaranteed.

    So for those that suffer, I heartily recommend getting a decent strap(I use a peak design slide) and change the way you carry your camera.
