i own tamron 150-600 g2 and also 70-200 g2, i am planning to buy nikon z8, will those lenses work fine using the ftz adapter?

I have the 50 f1.4, 50 f1.2, and the 50 1.2 Z lens. The 58mm lens in comparison to the other 3 was not enough to move me to purchase the 58mm. The price is not the issue, but all of the lenses are remarkable and the 58, though great, didn't seem above the other 1.2 lenses. Subjective I guess.

Bought an immaculate low shutter count D200 for £80 to add to my collection. Great camera and undervalued, yes for sports and action shots I love my D500 and it's hard to beat but it costs 10 times the money and it's not 10 times better than the D200

Have a nice trip!

maybe by focusing f2.5 with Manuel.not correct as autofocus.

Wondering if you're encountering the following issue. I have a Leica M11 and recently got the SL3. When I import photos into Lightroom, I see a color profile for the M11. When I do it for the SL3 I do not. I only see the standard Adobe Raw colors under the Lightroom develop tab. I contacted Adobe and they were able to replicate the issue on their end using a DNG file from the M11 and then one from the SL3. I thought Adobe was supporting the SL3 on launch, not sure why I'm having this issue. All my apps and systems are up to date.

I’m thinking about purchasing this 35mm.

This really mirrors my own recent experience. Before anything else, my fave pics were the long shot of the woman on the rocks looking out to sea in colour, the heron, the rocks emerging from the sea with soft foreground and background, and the sand blowing over the beach. All really nice, printable images. I've been shooting portraits on an AI converted version of this lens (which is why I was seeking a vid on this exact version) on a Nikon D600 and I was astonished how sharp it is wide open. I agree with your comparisons with the other lenses but that it comes so close when this lens is likely over 50 years old! (I checked and they changed to the rubberised focusing ring in '74/'75). The bokeh is also wonderful. I was surprised by how busy it was on the 85mm f1.4 by comparison. I think this is a real sleeper of a portrait lens. The focus throw is so easy as well and it's trivial nailing sharp focus using the viewfinder and focus confirmation dot in a DSLR finder. Did you not have issues getting the lens on and off? In my experience, non AI lenses can stick on DSLRs and 1990s SLRs and it's considered something to avoid.

I too have the d500 and 200 500 lens and that’s fantastic

Twin battery set ups can do the old fashion jumper leads too. But these ITechWorld starters are tops, I have one too to wake up my lithiums🫡

Hello my friend. Confused between this lens and the New Leica Summilux M 1:1.4/35 ASPH ! Which one do you think is better with the Leica M10R Black Paint?

It's clear you are not gonna buy F-lenses when you already have a Z-camera. Also clear is that when you have F-lenses and buy a Z-camera you want to use these lenses on the new camera. The question is however, should you buy a Z-camera when you have F-lenses and if so what kind of F-mount camera's are best replaced/accompied with a Z-camera. For example I can imagine that when you have a Nikon D70 camera a Z-camera with adapter might not be lighter but better in everyway and opening up a path to even better when you start buying Z-lenses.

This comparison is Misleading. Comparison should be between Nikon IR converted and Leica monochrom with IR filter 720nm or better, 850nm filter in front of the lens. Unfortunately, it appears no one tried it. Too bad: those who have money and gear lack imagination. And those who have imagination, don't have resources...That is the history of our civilization.

Maybe experiment also with the Tammy 1.4x converter, which will give 840mm.

It will be interesting to see how well this lens/TC works on the rumored Z80/Z90 APSC camera, if it's ever released.

Pretty good images even with a 2x converter. Wow.

who got a D850 for me ? so i can imprve my photography ? still on d7000 that had it's best time now..

I still dont see the point of this video lol I dont like this camera but im gonna make a video telling people i dont like this camera...im very confused 🤔😂😅

Just saw my old bead room, used as camel farm. With old Tex and dacks the roo shooters next door. Pete Horn

7:09 The SL3, yes it's not a joke.

Hey let's compare a 1000$ lens with a 9000$ lens. And let me show you how the Leica lens is better... Common now ! It would be like comparing the performance of a Ford Focus to a Porsche 911 and then saying "you see, the Porsche is way faster".

I once owned the Leica Q and I miss it. My ZF with 26mm is my budget replacement. Love the Fuji film simulations but I dislike the crop sensor aspect. So for now, I'll keep my ZF. If I can ever afford a Q3, I'd be all over it.

Thanks for this. Love the shots of the bridge & opera house. It expands my options from landscape to architecture. I like the clean lines.

If you like flip-out screens, you should try the Sony A7R5, which has an innovative flip-out mechanism. The screen itself is nothing special, but the mechanism is fantastic. Also, the Sony A7R5 has 61 mpx (like the SL3), but has incredible autofocus (better than SL3). The 50mm f1.4 GM lens is also a lot smaller and lighter than the Leica example you showed and has phenomenal quality. I have the 50 mm f1.2 Sony GM lens, which is a bit heavier and larger than the Sony GM 1.4, but has even higher image quality. Enjoy your new camera and all the best.

Very helpful thanks

Hi. Thanks so much for this very interesting comparison video. I just recently bought a used (2 years old) D500, mostly for use in birding. I went through a very long decision-making process (read "agony") over whether to get the older DSLR crop sensor or a Z series camera. In the end, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I've paired the camera with a 500mm/5.6 PF telephoto lens, so I've got great reach. The decisive factor for me was the advantage of having a crop sensor camera which, along with a long lens, will reduce the amount of cropping necessary later on. Whereas, on a full frame camera, you need an even longer focal length lens to achieve a similar reach and reduce the need for cropping. So, your video was extremely interesting for me. Most of all, I agree 100% with your comment that, as long as you can get the results you want, it doesn't matter which camera you have.

You will love the Summilux

Leica, excellent but overpriced?

Your image render refresh rate is too slow for the speed you go through your f stop target run.

A mkre realistic comparison to x100 would be z50+24 1.7

Nice video . for outdoor walks, street and portraits of my little daughter, what do you recommend on Nikon Z f? tamron 28-75mm f2.8 di iii vxd g2 or Nikkor z 24-120 f4 s

I definitely gave you a 'thumbs-up' for the brilliant 'door stop' before you mentioned that it was worth a 'thumbs-up.' 🤣 I have a van with barn doors in the back and I've been using a 12" light stick as a door stop. Always afraid it's gonna break. I wonder if a telescoping curtain rod would work as well. I have one of those on hand, so might try it. Thanks for the ideas!

If i had the money, dedicated full frame Monochrome Camera.

Great video and results! Just picked up this lens to pair with my ZF.

The raw images would be best for comparison, as the video can lose a lot of detail, especially depending on the video resolution you uploaded to KZfaq. Just a suggestion for the serious ones out here.

I am a big fan of tilt-up EVFs since I had an Olympus EP5 with VF-4, which still sells at €230 EUR on MPB. Sony had excellent external viewfinders (Sony FDA) for some cameras, but dropped this product line, unfortunately. So, today only Leica provides tiilt-up EVF solutions. I am eyeballing with a TL2 and VisoFlex Typ 020 but it is still quite expensive. And what is interesting, that VisoFlex is compatible only with the manual focusing M cameras, since Leica dropped the autofocusing CL/TL product line completely.

Hi Peter, Steve here. My walk across the Tanami was definitely a memorable experience . What makes the travelling experience wonderful and memorable are those times with people stopping and caring about the welfare of others on the roadside. You certainly provided me with a great boost of encouragement that day because of the caring nature you display out on the roads as you travel. You do what you do well....just saying😊Big Thanks

I want to see real world tests on these where they are used day in and day out for at least two years before I would consider buying one. These big units are worth more than my car.

I love this lens, but your tests certainly showed how good modern lenses are! The 105mm f/1.4 outperformed the old girl easily at f/1.4!! I must admit mine doesn't get much use since I got a Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 - AF is very handy, and the results aren't far behind at all. I would definitely recommend the Viltrox over this if it's your only portrait/short tele lens - you get a lot more keepers (I grew up with nothing but MF lenses, but even with a lot of experience, peaking and EVF zoom it's not easy)

Personally i think the m-p 240 is hands down the best leica digital option at the moment if you want vibe and value. The Q’s are great cameras also, shame you couldn’t keep both. The original Q is great but i just hate the EVF, but still great. I tried an m11, it’s great but the M-P 240 just has something about it and i think is the perfect pivot point of vibe, function, fun, affordability, image, resolution, evf, battery life. Yes the dynamic range isn’t as good as a more modern camera but impo its slight limitations are why i enjoy it so much. I bought an old F3 and when i chose a lens for it I didn’t want modern perfection, i wanted vibe. If you buy an m-p 240 that’s what you’ll get coupled with a slightly clunky system that still has a film like experience but just modern enough to keep up.

Thanks for the comparison. It is clear to me that the M11 sensor is technically a step forward. Note that two different sensors produce files which are differently affected by the same postprocessing settings, so I would have only tried to match exposure, white balance (if needed), and maybe color saturation. Also, the 35 Summilux has a complex focus field, which causes uneven sharpness on the same picture plane, that also varies depending on aperture. The 35 Apo focus field is more regular. This could explain the “different focusing” on some parts of the compared images.

bryan cranston is that you?

D700 hands down. I sold my D700 5 years ago to finance a D4, have always regretted selling it, and bought a "new" D700 last weekend with 6000 clicks for the equivalent of USD300. It feels like I have come home again now.

For street photography and being discreet I don’t think it’s a good idea to walk around with a $10,000 camera and lens combination. I’d rather use my Nikon V1 and either the 10 mm 2.8 or 18.5 1.8 lens for street photography. That way if I get mugged I don’t lose much. Ha ha.

Paid less than half that amount for mine

and never showed it in use

Would you suggest AI or pre-AI version for Sony A7 series cameras? If I understand correctly AI would not bring any benefit in such case.

Answer always is if you get a change to buy a Summicron buy the Summicron. You can find similar cheaper lenses but no lens will ever be a Summicron. Best lens anyone has ever made. Get the 50/35/28 and you don’t need any more lenses.

Helpful review. I have the Z5, Z6, Z30 and Z50 bodies with FTZ adapter. This is an excellent lens for all-around use. Got this lens here in the Philippines, used, for only ₱15,000 ($265). Clean lens, no fungus, no dust, works well as intended. Using on a Rig Cage on tripod with Follow Focus and lens support since it's quite front heavy. BTW, subscribed as well. Because of this video review I was able to scoop up this great lens at an, astoundingly, bargain low used price. Thank you, Sir. ♥️👍

lux 35 and 50 both are terrible lenses once you're off a hint off centre image is a smudge no matter of aperture 1.4-5.6 on top of that image degrades with distance .place a face of a human at 2/3 of a frame at 15-20 meters put BOLO (wanted / at large) on it - nobody would ever recognize that person . ive had 3 copies of 50 lux all new including close focus - they are same trash . Ive stuck with apo . @georges_angeles
