Looking to upgrade

Hi! I bought a d3100 about 15+ years ago and have mentioned needing a new camera for years and think it's time to finally pull the trigger. Due to price and quality I think we've landed on the z6III but am struggling on lens choices. I'm mainly a hobby photographer, doing portraits for family/friends but with my siblings families growing I think more photo sessions are in my future.

I was looking at the bundle from Macy's that comes with the FTZ II adapter and the Z 24-70 f/4 lens so I could use some of my old lenses (I have a family member that gets an additional discount at Macy's). I was unsure if that would be a good bundle, or if it's better to get the 24-70 f/2.8 or even the 24-120 f/4?

The lenses I already have are:

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 (main one I use)

NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (came with original camera bundle)

NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6 (came with original camera bundle)

The thing I struggle with most with my d3100 is noise in low light areas...if that helps in any advice 😂

Delaware Tubing/River Float

Hello! Wondering if anyone has done tubing on the Delaware (with their own tubes) and where to drop in/get out? I've read a bunch in the Bucks County groups about spots but they are quite a bit north (over 1.5 hours from Gloucester County area). Okay traveling a little north but wasn't sure if there was something closer then those!

We used to go to Palace outfitters but found our group got too large and spent most of our time just dodging trees.

Hello! I am using staples to print some menus for a friend with the 8.5x11 setting, cut into thirds.

I designed the item in illustrator with each section exactly sized, and the text centered in each column. As you can see by the blue blocks (added in the screenshot) when I upload to staples, the art is shrinking and the text in the left and right columns are no longer centered.

I have "scale to fit" unchecked so it should not be altering the size of my document.

I called customer support and they basically told me "it looks good to me" so I'm not sure they quite understand printing/design. I ultimately have to print 100 of these so want to make sure it's right. I'm fine paying $6 for a test print but don't want to have to do multiple to get it right.

Do you find the preview image is typically off and they will print exactly from my document, or do they typically do weird sizing options to adjust for printer margins that I should account for on the design side?

hi! Apologies if this is a super silly question but I'm just getting started in Figma. When I bring SVG graphics into Figma I notice it changes them to "frame" objects with a bunch of groups within. Is this alright or should I be taking them out of the frame and just leaving the "Artwork" group? Tried to include a screenshot but it wouldn't let me, apologies!
