There is a new Leofoto padded bag that comes in 65, 70 and 80cm lengths which is much nicer than the standard bag that the tripod ships with. It also has a larger head section which more easily accommodates heads with an arm.

Dag Se from Canada. Fabulous review. I switched most of my DSLR lenses with the execption of the 105f1.4, use it on the D850. I can use my Nikon lenses from 1969, the old Ai lenses. Tried the manual lenses, but desided to go native and have a range of Z lenses. By the way, I think I saw Durban Photo, if yes, does Whysals museum still exist? Thanks again
@emilvonmaltitz3 күн бұрын
More meneer! Ja, the ‘native’ Z lenses are fantastic and probably the primary reason for me wanting to go mirrorless. At the moment though clients can’t tell the difference so although I really want to own a Zf, I still have my D850s which tock along paying the bills. Sadly Whysalls closed down several years ago. Bit of a palaver there as well. The owners literally upped and left without even informing the staff. They all arrived at work and there was no one to open up. Debts and a quiet emigration apparently.

I’m not sure why you are recommending the 24-70 f4 over the 28-75 2.8 based on the parameters that you’ve outline. The 2.8 lens is only 65 grams heavier and has a smaller filter diameter of 67mm vs 72mm.
@emilvonmaltitz3 күн бұрын
It’s not just about weight. It’s the overall dimensions. The 28-75 is quite a bit longer than the 24-70. As a walk around lens I also personally prefer the wider end of the 24-70. That doesn’t make it the right choice for everyone though, and the 28-75 is optically really good. For me though the eventual size of the lens and body (zf and its ergonomics in particular) tip the scales toward the 24-70.

It makes for a smaller lighter package and is probably optically better (the voigtlander is an older optical design as far as I know and older lens on top of that). I do love the ‘character’ of my voigtlander but would happily use the native z-mount nikkor. I was just using what I already have.

It's a shame Nikon chose to go with the fully articulating screen instead of a tilt up screen. Of course, very few cameras have a flip-up screen these days, which is too bad, because I find those articulating screens to be a pain in the ass, especially if you use an L-bracket. But now everything has to be a vlogging camera. Still, I'm a bit surprised at Nikon's choice, given the aesthetic and ethos of the camera. For me, it would be a perfect body if not for the screen. Still, I have a feeling I'll buy this thing one day. It's such a nice camera. I would love to walk around with this thing with the the 28 or 26mm attached. That would be a great walk-around camera. Great review.
@emilvonmaltitz7 күн бұрын
It's interesting to see the split reactions to the articulating screen. Some viewers think it's Nikon 'catching up', while otehrs miss the old swivel screen. It depends what you are using it for really. For dedicated video operators I get the articulating screen, but for candid, street and general stills photography I prefer the tilt screen as you mention. Then again I have also seen photographers flip the Zf's screen around so that they can't see it at all...further enhancing the 'retro' feel to the camera. I agree with you about the articulating screen being a pain with L-brackets!

The B&W dial for me is a fantastic thing, I shoot around 90% for B&W and on my D610 I just have the picture control set to MC so that when I review the image on the screen it's in B&W even though I shoot raw so the actual file is still being recorded as a colour image, I can't wait to try out the B&W setting, I can see that for anyone who never or rarely shoots to edit in B&W that the dial is pointless but when you think this camera is definitely aimed at older photographers like me who grew up using slr film cameras the B&W switch makes perfect sense and will get used a lot.

It might be good for you to receive a raw file from a subscriber along with a jpeg of their fully edited photo, but here's the twist. You must not open their jpeg until you have shown how you would edit their raw file to your satisfaction. Then show their version alongside your version to compare and contrast.

They're both physically larger than I would personally like to be absolutely honest. However, having owned the previous F-mount 24-120, I would say that is a more versatile lens than the 28-75. You go for the latter if you absolutely need the f2.8 I think. Otherwise the wider angle of the 24-120 and longer reach is more versatile.

Do you still use Lightroom for anything? I'm so used to it and even though it's so sluggish, even with a new Mac M3 Max, I can work so fast. I also do a lot of volume for so many different clients so being able to change metadata and all the file handling is really important. Also the AI masking can select individual people in an image, lifesaver. But I'm curious about C1 just being faster. I use Photo Mechanic when in a rush. But now that LR has Camera Standard profile, my Canon R3 and R5 files barley need any tuning. Also, your video looks a bit green to me. I know Sony does this, Nikon asa well?
@emilvonmaltitz13 күн бұрын
This is probably an entire topic for a video. I don't actually use LR apart from when I am teaching it on workshops (it's still far more popular than C1...and Phase doesn't do itself any favours by charging so much for C1). I also use PM a lot, but am starting to rethink that as they are shifting across to the tax/tithe system of pay per month as opposed to one-off. LR has consistently been kinder to Canon files over the years. Nikon and Sony in my experience seem to require a bit more tweaking (same base chips with propriety setup, so maybe the base sensor is affecting how LR reworks the file initially...above my paygrade guessing why). The greener tint is probably my preference I'm guessing as I sorta like how it came out... But will take a closer look (do you mean the image or the video...just had a conversation with another photographer about his theory that YT compression can change the final look to the video...also need to look into that).
@LukeChristo7 күн бұрын
@@emilvonmaltitz I actually did not have 'use smart previews' selected in the performance tab. It's a lot faster now but not as fast as C1 when punching in and out to 100%. So LRC gets to live on. I just can't work that fast in C1 and do so much volume for different folks I really need its file management tools. To me the video of you is a bit green. I borrowed an A1 for a day and it was so green, also could not focus anything like the R3 and R5.

I think the Zf more closely resembles the size & mass of my F2, which is a pretty big slab of metal. I wish the Zf were more compact & had the larger grip of the F3/FA & cant the batt on a 45, and the hinged lcd vs the goofy pivoting thing for waist level. & maybe knobs that arent 2x high for some strange reason. Just shrink it Nikon! And hire someone to fix the wireless connectivity to tethered shooting so we can actually focus accurately when doing those huge 96mp pixel shift comps.
@emilvonmaltitz13 күн бұрын
Hmmm, I think the F2 is maybe a bit heavier. The viewfinder experience is more is more akin to the f3's HP viewfinder. But I mean there isn't exactly a mountain of difference between the F2 and the F3 size wise. Comes more down to how you hold the camera as the shutter button placement is slightly different and there's that tiny grip on the F3. The F2 is maybe 2mm longer but the width and height are the same (looking my two copies on my desk...love both of them).
