This earned you a new sub 🙂 Thanks!

This is awesome!

Thank You Taku .. another Skill I need to learn to expand my Photography >> Happy New Year

😢 为什么视频没有声音时还要添加音乐？

I think Nikon didn't do themselves a favor with the 50mm f1.8 S being so stellar AND being considerably cheaper than the 35mm f1.8 S. They should have priced the 35mm identically to the 50mm. I picked a new 35mm S up over the holidays as they had a discount offer going, bringing the price down to the 50mm price. The regular price is about USD250 too high for what it is in comparison to the 50mm.

Thanks Taku for the great work you are doing on your channel! Amazing photos and great tips on shooting.

I did the South American version of this in 2024, Buenos Aires to Valparaiso. Great video.

The minimum focusing distance is measured from the sensor, not from the front lens

Excellent tutorial, this was a huge help. Thank you!

Look at 2026 or 2027

Are you still happy and would you still recommend the Z8 with the 800mm. I am currently using it with my Z9 and I’m interested in lightening my load. Thank you for the videos.

Good to know, I have a few from 2011 and 2013 and they all do not work….

Thanks fort de video. I have a question wich AF field did you use or did you use the bird function with 3D-tracking.

Thanks for the objective view, but your background music is unnecessary and far too loud.

I am planning to sell off mine. It is good in many of scenarios. But I guess I don't like the portraits backgrounds, and it's really bulky at 77mm filter thread. And at the price, I can have 2 lens and cam setup with 2 z6s and one of 85 another with 28 or 40. Even then the whole moving around will feel less bulkier with better bokeh, less ISO. It's really easier to put 3 primes and 2 z6 in a 9l sling bag, than the 24-120 and one more body with a prime.

We really enjoyed your video full of helpful information. We are thinking of taking this itinerary on Celebrity. What dates did you travel on this itinerary? Also do you remember your stateroom number? The 8th floor looked like a good location. Thanks for your help!

thanks!!

Have you used Affinity Photo, ON1, Helicon Focus Pro, or Zerene stacker? Thoughts. And do any of these work better than the additional steps in Photoshop? And while we're on that topic which is better Lightroom more Photoshop? I shoot jewelry and watches for resale in a studio configuration.

It's more expensive than the sharper, less LoCA, better for portrait nifty fifty 1.8 - at amazon uk a discounted £625/635 for the 35mm/85mm £465 the 50mm which is sharper and only loses to the 85 for headshots

That's a small 35mm 1.8?

Never owned a 35 prime before, so I'm considering picking this up as it's currently on sale ($250 off!). Appreciate the info here! Great images as well!

Isn't the C modes, jpeg?

This is on my bucket list for my 60th birthday in 2027

Very Interesting >> Food for Thought

I Love your Travel Videos as an ext to the Photography Content

Does not appear to work with camera vertical, only takes one or two photos . If the focus point is bottom left it only takes one photo since that would be the top in landscape orientation. The further right the focus point is in vertical mode the more shots it will take since you are moving down if you were in landscape orientation. Maybe it’s my camera, Nikon z7ll with z24-120 lens, let me know what you think

Nice informative video. It would have been better if you hadn't been shooting in the fog or through a window though.

Hi Taku, do you have a direct line to Nikon? Hoping they allow the focus shift mode to toggle and activate when pressing the shutter instead of going to menu and also not black out the screen during that duration in the next firmware update. The feature is only really useful when taking still tripod shots. Using it handheld is not really happening and we have to manually focus stack :/

way cool

Nice content. Thanks!

Excellent , thank you Taku for such inspiring images

Great info. 1.5x speed. You’re welcome.

Assuming we set to take RAW images, and we turn on the prerelease. So it will take 30 prelease images as jpeg. But does the image taken on pressing the shutter button turn out to be RAW? Or also JPEG?

I want lanscape photos with a round sun, no star effect, would the ND filter accomplish this?, and when is the best time to photograph the round sun?

Are you able to power this light portable such as with a VMount Battery?

You are overlaying music over a video about testing microphones. Like, think about this for just a second.

Well done, good sir. Really enjoyed the review.

Thanks for the comparison. The 600 seems a little louder than the 400, but when I adjusted my volume to comparable levels, the room rejection became more obvious.

Merci beaucoup Taku Kumabe ;-)) Paris, FRANCE

Very calming video, thanks mate!

Great tutorial, thank you 👍

ND filters don´t do anything except cut light to ALL constant light sources the same. Both sides are the same. ND cuts power to sun and your light. It´s not a flash where (only) aperture affects the flash and shutter speed does not.

What's wrong with this picture? You want us to evaluate a sound comparison of 3 different microphones while you have the same identical background music competing with the sound of your video. Nah, that's not a conflicting issue! Can you help me out with my marksmanship and hold up the target while I shoot it with my silenced shotgun? D'OH!

I've wanted to learn how to do this so much! Thank you for such a descriptive video!

thank you

Great tips! How bad was the drake passage?

what settings is that to get the red lines when you're focus ?

He one to the right..

Thank you! But the ring on the table, what is it used for?

don't add music background when review microphone.
