Күн бұрынLet's shoot with the Nikon ZF! I took the Nikon ZF to a Family Vacation and also got the chance to use the Sigma 10-18mm 2.8 DC DN lens for Fuji X mount. In this video I am sharing my Impressions and show how both perform.

Great video!!! We are living the same life. (Except my son is learning to drive now lol). I also have the Zf AND just shot with the 10-18mm in NYC. Also...I got the Auto ISO thing wrong in my video too lol. I wrote this disclaimer: Correction on Auto ISO: Thanks to everyone who mentioned the Zf AUTO ISO settings! Very helpful! Sooooo.... The Zf dial works in Auto ISO. You can use it to override your minimum Auto ISO set! For example, you can set your auto ISO maximum to ISO 640 with a minimum shutter speed of 1/400. If the scene is too dark, the Auto ISO setting will flash. You can then turn your dial BEYOND your minimum to activate a higher ISO. It's pretty clever and useful. I'll have a follow-up showing image quality and useability in the real world! Yay.

As also mentioned by someone else in Omars video to this: When set to auto-ISO, the ISO dial is not without function, but it works different from what you would expect. For auto-ISO you are setting an ISO max value in the menu along with a default value, a max ISO for use with flash and a minimum shutter speed. Now, you can use the ISO dial on the top plate with these settings to override the max ISO value set in the menu - with a twist. If the dial value is lower than what you set as the max in the menu, the max menu value still applies. If the dial value is higher than the menu value, the dial value applies. So one way to use this with auto-iso is to use a low max value in the menu and override it as needed with the top plate dial.

Nikon may not always win on the spec sheet...but they almost always win on execution and refinement. Because the little details matter. So while the EVF may not be the highest resolution, or have the fastest refresh rate, it still uses a Quad-VGA system with 100% frame coverage, a 37.0° diagonal viewing angle, and *extremely* high quality viewfinder optics.

I plan to use mine with pixel shift, multi-exp, the Z macro & ES2 to make huge resolution, full color-depth, HDR archival digitizations of all my familys slides and negatives. It never seemed that important to capture every last grain of those images until they all passed away over the last decade. Now those images of them are all that remains of their lives, so carefully preserving each one becomes fairly precious.

Great video Sam, always enjoy your vlog! One thing I'd like to point out is if you want auto focus lenses with aperture ring, you can adapt E mount lenses, many of them have aperture rings. As you said, Z mount is the most adaptable full frame mount. Can't wait for part 2 and street photography with ZF!

Great video and style. When Nikon introduced the Z mount, moving away from 64 years of the F mount, many were quick to criticise it. Now seeing how versatile the mount is, to be able to adapt to all the other mounts, Nikon engineers are absolutely vidicated. 👏❤

One of the very best review of the Nikon Zf I have seen. Here’s hoping Nikon do a Z mount “remake” or update of that incredible 28mm f1.4E F mount lens you have. I love the idea of using that but the size + the adapter is a bit of a bummer on a body of this size. I wonder if getting one of those new E to Z adapters would allow for having an aperture ring as well as full autofocus support, as a bunch of the Sony E mount lenses have aperture rings.
@Ruylopez778 9 ай бұрын
If Nikon don't make a battery grip for the Zf with the look of the MD-12, they are crazy. I know they have a couple of little accessory grips, and I guess we will see third party ones at some point. I can imagine the Zf being quite popular and lots of aperture ring lenses and accessories being made.
@Jalan84 9 ай бұрын
I recently bought this after a brief fling with Sony for a few years. It really fits with everything i want. Autofocus is not quite up to Sony, but it's very good and provides the dial layout and body design I prefer. After using for a week now, I am thinking the same thing as you. Why use anything else? I have an M11, but Zf gives me some of the Leica feeling but with all the benefits of modern tech. They just need to build out a few more small/light lens and I'll have to start really re-think my Leica. I could buy a whole bag of Z lens for cost of one M body lol

And then see what direction Fuji is going and how Nikon is evolving.

Thanks for giving us a great insight into using the Zf. It's definitely what I have been wanting to get for a long time. A retro style (with physical dials) camera body but with a FF sensor. And like you said Nikon needs to come out with a few more small primes with an aperture ring to make this a perfect. Otherwise I'm also looking at going with the Voigtlander 40mm 1.2, It looks ace paired with the Zf. My X-Pro2 will be very jealous 😅

PS> Your observations about the EVF are I think due to the glass that Nikon uses on their EVFs. I find them really pleasant to look through.

Super informatives Video über die ZF. Ein Vorschlag für "Auto ISO" Im Foto Modus ist der Video Auslöser nicht belegt. Den kann man dann als "ISO" Taste programmieren. Damit kann man die gleiche Funktion der ISO Umschaltung wie bei allen anderen Nikons einsetzen. Knopf drücken, vorne drehen für A/M und am hinterm Rad zur Vorgabe der ISO Werte. Das geht sehr einfach und schnell.

As a (mainly) street photographer I don't understand the use of FF in that scanerio. I want large DOF - high enough shutterspeed without having to turn up the ISO too much. Here I find the crop sensor (Fuji- Ricoh) to be a better tool for the job. Portrait- landscape is of course another discussion. It takes a lot to replace my Ricoh GR II for street photography

I assigned the ISO to the video record button because I need to turn the auto-ISO on and off all of the time. Not helpful in video mode, obviously. I heard that if you bought the Zf in a camera store they throw a Small Rig accesory grip in for free in Europe and Australia, but not here in the U.S. Nikon makes an accessory grip that is only available in Japan (maybe e-Bay, eventually?). My small Rig grip is supposed to arrive today.

The thing is, if you're a Nikon user from the DSLR days, this camera will amaze you. If you're a long-time Fuji user, this camera might befuddle you. It's all about what you're used to doing. Great example is the Auto ISO ... Nikon DSLR users were quite used to those two steps anyway. I will always have both Nikon and Fuji for different uses.
@thomasa.243 9 ай бұрын
If it has the same system as the Nikon Zfc then it also has some ISO priority if you switch to Auto ISO. Meaning, if your dial is on lets say ISO 400 and you have Auto ISO set up, the camera will try to use ISO 400 whenever possible. If ISO 400 is not possible, the ISO value will start to blink on the screen. So it does actually matter where you have put the ISO dial when using Auto ISO ;).

"Nicht hauen" - yeah I say that a lot lately to my daughter :D Thanks for sharing your experience with the Zf. I had almost the same experience so far, specially the ergonomics part - my thumb wants a comfi place to rest :D Regarding AF I think it's always depending on where you are coming from. The last few months I used the Q3 exlusively and now using the Zf, it really feels like cheating as you said. But if you come from Sony and Canon, you might get disappointed, since these systems are according to several YT reviews the benchmark regard AF. But for me it's more then good enough. In case you sell off your Fuji gear completely in the future, would you buy a second Zf body or a Z6III, which is rumored to have the same specs, but "modern design and ergonomics"?
