Thanks for the great info.

Great video and review on the Samyang 14mm f 2.8 lens. I recently came across your channel as i also purchased this lens for Astrophotography Milkyway images this works well with my cannon eos 6d camera which still preforms very well despite being twelve years old.

Number 4 I like the best

maybe the newer Z 70-180 2.8 could be an option combined with the TC 1.4x or TC 2x.

1:29 which app is that ??

If you have to aggressively crop images, then it's time for some new lenses...

I have just changed to the Kase magnetic filter system and I'm now finding that I'm more likely to use the filters because of the simplicity of fitting to the lens. Highly recommend this magnetic system.

Can i do this without L-bracket, it is hard to find it for Olympus?

Yes, D850 a super camera. I use two bodies for my wildlife photography mainly in Srilanka for Birds , Elephants, Sloth Bears and of course for for the lsland's leopard photography. One body with prime 400mm f 2.8 and other for all the zoom lenses takes stunning images. A super DSLR in every way . Good heavy duty camera matches with the lenses. 👍❤

Another very put video!

Are you OK man? You haven't published in a while.

Just saw this video and its 5 years later, in your intro you said it would last you 5-6 years, are you still using this? I just got a used copy and really loving it.

Ok but how did you do it 😂

Great shot. How do you deal with the "movement" of the stars between so many shots?

Good god, what a poster image, waiting for a most fitting inspipring comment below the image to tell us how beautiful life really is, well done on your staying power, it really paid off ^_^

Really enjoyed that. You;re humble in your experience of IR but also got some amazing results. I'm new to this myself and everything you said made sense. Thank you ^_^

The Camara along with your accent would make me an amazing photographer....😂

Honestly, the "I cant afford it" argument is not something I find useful. If you say the lens has flaws or it does not fit your needs or you have found better options: yes, okay, get it. But just because of financial restrictions? Why not start making videos about why you are not getting the Bugatti Chiron, a private jet, that one private island etc. So I personally did not find this video helpful or useful in any way.

Both portrait and landscape images are as beautiful as each other. For my eye, the portrait favours. Thanks for sharing buddy.

I love James Brew's videos. I bought Nikon 24-120 f4, after I saw his video. He convinced me! Interesting. Now I have to buy the device. Z6iii when will it appear!

The Tamron 70 - 300 would be a good option.

Like how you explained how us as photographers are compelled to get out in the world for the image capture. Very insightful and astute point!

Just found your video. One of the best tutorials I have seen so far for this type of shot. Well done. As a Nikon Z9 shooter was interested in your lens choice and will look into the 20mm 1.8. Thank you

Thanks for such a great, easy to understand video!

Really enjoyed your flog & honest review of this little but amazing lens.

How many times did you say “absolutely”

I'm confused. Why are we focusing far away, then again zoomed up?

5:03 I was about to suggest just that. I use the EF version on my Z7 with the Fringer adapter and it works perfectly. The lens is great. What most people don't realize: at these long focal lengths in landscape photography, image sharpness is more or less a function of weather and atmospheric quality (dirt/dust, haze, heat reflections etc.) rather than the lens itself. I also use the EF 16-35 f4 L on my Z7. The one lens that is mostly glued to my Z7 is the Z 24-120, that is the reason I bought the Z7. Because I wanted to use that lens. My Z7 cost me around USD1,100 in excellent condition. What a steal that was.

gracias

14-24 is better...

Sorry James.....why are you criticising and blaming tourists for getting in your shot.....? Its a public beach............... I can assure you 15 years ago when I was last there, zero tourists. Are you not the problem, via KZfaq and social media. Few places are now secret........ Having said that, I like what you have shot so far.......its good coverage.

Great review, some really relevant information.

Subscribed! Can’t wait to try shooting a lighthouse. Nearest one is about 3 hours away…

I mean, I can clearly see cases of coma and astigmatism in the photos you are highlighting in this video. I dont think this lens is worth the price.

Great review!

Do you miss your d850?

as someone that lives near the Dark Hedges I miss the days when you could just drive along the road with noone else around. Its become so busy over the past 8 year or so

That's what I want to get it for but I'm still nervous. But lately I've been practicing more landscapes and I shoot everything. No less than F5. I've been doing like f7 to f11 but I think if I do get the F4 that'll be great to even shoot at that aperture. Right now I just use my 35 mm for landscapes. That's all I have with the 85 until I build up my lens collection again

how do you fit a hood with such large filters?

Good point about increasing response when shooting seascapes. Excellent video. Subscribed.

How long did you have to stand to get a crisp silhouette of yourself?

I use my old trusty d850s with nisi 150x170mm grads , you can under expose the sky by 3 -5 stops and lift the foreground in camera using nikon D lighting , great if you hate being stuck behind a laptop , when simple in camera tweeks are plenty

There is no “mark” nomenclature in Nikons naming convention

Good luck on the "faster glass" option. I bought the 28-300 for a D850 because my (2) f2.8 lenses are very heavy. Yes, they are sharp, but i can shapen the superzoom and not have back problems.

What camera did you use to film this video? It is a gorgeous image

Thank for a great tutorial.

I agree

Bad focus in low light???

have you used the Tamron 35mm f1.4 lens, adapted onto a Z camera? I have heard that the Tamron is outstanding at Astro.

I'm considering buying it with a Z5 for this summer.
