And there’s the term I missed 😂 how’s your Spring going CM?

@@emilvonmaltitz In the words of one of the greats, Neil Diamond: "Was in the spring, And spring became the summer, Good times never seemed so good...". And currently Summer is heading into Autumn here in Switzerland. So, not bad, in other words. Digging your content, fyi, keep it coming!

@@themullerfiles doh…I meant autumn 😂 loved the last post with your new carry camera!

Thanks! That’s an image of an artisanal rum distiller in Madagascar.

@@emilvonmaltitz Bet that was a fantastic place to photography.

@@NotepadandLenses it is phenomenal! I had a photographer join me there earlier this year who described the experience as ‘catching lightning in a bottle’ 😂

@@emilvonmaltitz Can't ask for much more than that :)

@@NotepadandLenses indeed 😂

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’m still waiting for the criticism for deigning to critique some of the masters 😜 glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! The 35 is an incredibly versatile focal length. I tend to favour the 40mm but am always surprised to see how often my zooms (if I’m not using primes) are at 35mm. Thanks for watching!

It’s a pleasure Joe. Glad you found it useful

@serloud I don’t actually have a dedicated bag for the tripod. The bag that the LS-324CEX came with fits the legs and head that I use (either a LH-40 or G4). 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.

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.

Another one coning next week!

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 has dual…just not perfect dual slots (a micro SD is a pain on the …) I think of dual slots of equal caliber are required then the Z6iii is a better bet.

Thanks Barry!

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.

Thank you! I really appreciate that feedback. Hello back from SA. Canada remains one of the best countries I’ve visited.

Absolute pleasure. Thank you for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks Arthur. Thanks for joining!

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!

I would love to! I'm still in the F-mount family until my D850s die. If I had the available cash though I would pick one up.

I've been called out by more than one viewer that I was being unfair about the B&W switch...happy to concede this point...What it shows is perhaps that Nikon did their homework in adding it.

Adding to the list of videos that I'm hoping to start developing. A video on colour profiles is a good idea. Thanks

@@Brit01425 many thanks! Let me know about other topics that you’re keen to hear about.

@@emilvonmaltitz Off the top of my head, here are some suggestions: 1) What is tethering all about and is it relevant for photography? 2) Catalog organisation and the use of sessions. 3) Showing the full process for editing a raw file is always going to be popular, but you might think about putting a different spin on it. 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.

@@Brit01425 it’s an absolute pleasure! I hope to keep them coming.

Thanks, will look to do some more then as it seems to have been popular. Thanks for watching!

Wow, thanks! I personally felt it was rushed as I had to get it out before the Z6iii launch....now I'm trying to see whether I can get Nikon to send me some more kit to play with ;)

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

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.

Thanks for the feedback John. When to use a filled layer. I'll add that the list, especially as it's something I can discuss within another video. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks...so far it seems to be 50/50

Thanks Andrea!

Thank you! Will definitely do my best

😂 Okay noted on the chalkboard sound

Thanks Sandro! I'm going to try and do them relatively regularly as this seems to have been popular. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks David...cool, I'll try and em coming

Adding that to the list. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching

@@emilvonmaltitz 👍🏼

Thanks Ken!

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).

@@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.

@@hankroarkphoto I’m sorry to hear that. Contact the US Distributor and see if they can help. Otherwise the LS-284CEX is the same leg leg length as the CL version and has the added bonus of the levelling head (downside is it’s more expensive because of the levelling head.

@@johndwilliams 😂 I’m guessing that’s the ‘blackboard’ sound I added in post to whenever I highlight something with the drawn red ring. Is it that distracting? I’ll reduce the audio effect next time round if it is.

Pleasure...thanks for watching

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).

Unfortunately none of the new Nikkor lenses have an aperture ring...it's something I feel is lacking from the user experience of the Zf. If you want aperture rings you have to go for the new Chinese manufactured manual focus lenses

Thanks Juliette! Interesting choice as a birding camera considering the lack of grip. Personally I'd go for the Z8 for birding simply as it has a few more pixels. For larger wildlife that would be less of an issue and I certainly had no problem with the 24mp of hte Zf photographing lemurs. With birds though, the 45mp of the Z8 would make a big difference. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

@@emilvonmaltitz yes, it's definitely a band-aid/temporary solution whilst my bank account recovers! I do have a grip as well. Next year if Nikon doesn't come up with something more compelling, I'll pick up the Z8. Birding is where I spend 20% or less of my time anyway. Street photography is my #1 love and the Zf is fantastic for that, as you showed. Thank you!

@@juliettemansour I suspect an upgrade to the Z7ii, but it’ll have a similar price jump as the Z6ii to Z6iii…geez but cameras are expensive 😬

@@emilvonmaltitz they sure are!! In that case, I would just get the Z8

Definitely not wrong. That's a good technique. What I love about most of modern post-production software (not just C1) is that there are multiple ways to achieve a similar result; it's whatever works best for the user.

Thanks for the feedback! It's always good to know that photographers already familiar with C1 agree with some of the stuff I mention

Shot! thanks Janusz!

Thanks Joseph....hope I won't be too boring if I do an uncut version, but will definitely add that the future video to do! Thanks for the suggestion.

Absolutely planning too :) Thanks for the sub!!!
