Nice review. Please what are the dimension of the bag or the model you have (just for understand what type of bag add to it)?

4K動画で分かりやすくて良かった。

Thanks for this video Mark it has been very useful. I shoot real estate for a living in the UK, and have just done still photography up to now. An increasing number of clients are now asking for video, which isn't a problem as I've blogged for a long time and can use Premiere Pro without thinking. However, I've got a 'big' video shoot coming up of a high-end country house, and using my D850 for video just won't cut it - I've tested it on video with the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 and the autofocus was sh!te - constantly 'hunting' and larger corrections than really necessary (yes, I know the D850 was not really a video DSLR, but was just trying it for suitability) Looking at getting a Z6 II or a Z6 III to use purely for video, with the two Sigma lenses & an FTZ adaptor. This extensive video has now convinced me that the face-tracking autofocus works a treat, and my focus-hunting issue must be down to the camera body choice rather than the lens ability to focus smoothly. Thank you.

I would call that your bias opinion.

Thanks Mark, excellent practical tips!

Always have great content 👌

Thanks for the video! Can you share the names/models of the accessories you used?

Hi Mark Did you mange to connect to the usb for electronic focus and trigger? If yes how? Take Care !

Why do you call them elitist lenses. So is it because they're expensive or well made or top quality does that make them elitist? Manny photographer shoot primes because they're much more clean and accurate than those images taken with a zoom. I would imagine that you don't own the plena?

Excellent video.. Great capture of the day! I love it Mark! 💜💜💜💜

thanks for the video. can you put the links of the accessories you mention? the belt, vest etc. Thank you!

Hi Mark, great video buddy, what is the Manfroto head you have?

great video, hi mark , can you please help how do you balance Nikon z9 with rs4 pro perfectly? I tried to balance my z9 with rs4 pro its not perfectly balance>

Excellent video but what is the maximum length of lens you would use in this setup.

Theyre a beast of a lens im on for my 2nd , i got rid for a 200-500. Biiig mistake the 200-400 is pro lens price for a reason .

wow your suggestions are super practical. Thank you!

Appreciate the video. Just picked up the z9 and will pick up the L bracket. Cheers!

兄弟片子都过曝吧？

very informative Mark, I have a question can we use Speedlight with DC? if yes can you help me with which cable and converter need

How do you get to the battery to change it?

The Z Nikon 20mm f1.8 S is the BEST Milky Way Lens ever made IMO and the star Aussie Astro photographers also claim this too

I have too many cameras. The D500 is not the newest but I love it more than any other. I use the Nikkor Z 180-600 with the Z6, but still prefer the D500 with the older Sigma 150-600. If we got a "Z500" I would get it instantly 😊

Will this fit the Z6 ?

Really excellent; very informative. Thank you very much.

China invades Taiwan ain't gone be no z6iii

I'm sooooo excited for the Z6 one one one!

I recently retired and have decided to invest in a camera system. I have done some research and it appears that Sony makes Nikon, Fuji, and hasselblad sensors as well as their own. Cannon appears to make its own sensors. What made you choose Nikon over Sony or Cannon. Or am I asking the wrong question. Thanks. Jim.

Hello again, very informative program! I am quite a bit older than, but learn new ides every time, thank you. TonyH

Thanks Mark

Very Interesting Video Mark

Thanks for this information I wanna buy this lens for my Z5 and D750 to take photo on f2.8 and somhing video

A little misleading you name this video a "review" when you don't have the lens and haven't actually used it.

I was amazed at how much smaller the Z 24-70/2.8 is compared to the F mount version ... and you call it "chunky"? I find it quite small and light mounted on my Z9. My F mount D850+grip+24-70/2.8 is twice the size of the Z9 equivalent. The size and weight savings are huge. It is certainly better for me than carrying a bunch of primes around and then have to swap lenses. Carrying around several primes rather than one pro zoom would be more clunky in my bag. You can always set f/2.8 lenses to f/4 but you can't set f/4 lenses to f/2.8. If you don't need f/2.8 then of course don't buy the better lens. If you don't buy a lot of the unnecessary accessories (that I have never needed) you can invest more money in your lenses, or buy more lenses.

Completely agree on 135mm Plena being just too expensive.

Mark, I do agree with you on aperture of 6.3 and why not 5.6 in the new 600 PF lens? Initially I was expecting it to be 4.5 or at least 5.6 f stop to upgrade from my 500 PF for my z8 but now I feel not worth any more to spent so much for just extra 100ml and 6.3 lens

Since my last comment a couple weeks ago, I've acquired the Z 600 f/6.3 and I can't tell you how much I love this lens. Its size and weight are what I was looking for and I don't question its build quality. Usually, I shoot with the Z9 and it is very manageable ... I had it out for about three hours (handheld) and could have stayed out longer. With the Z 600PF mounted on my Z7ii, it is definitely my "zoo day" setup, weighing just 4.6lbs! There's no disputing the Z180-600 for its cost and very compatible images to the Z 600PF, when not pixel peeping. But, I am so happy with my choice and feel my copy is worth the investment into this quality S-line prime lens.

Liked your presentation very much, thank you! You got into great details presenting every problem which a photographer can get in while being in the field, even if they don't own a z9. Keep up the great work and the Z6 is indeed a very underrated camera because of its unique CFExpress slot, I bought mine very cheap too!

First time I've seen your video. Thank you. Hopefully, you'll be able to do a z180-600 vs z600pf comparison. So far, I'm hearing the z180-600 has a "sweet spot" (from new users) at the 500mm range, therefore better than the max of 600mm. I would be interested to see if you could confirm or deny this. Again, thanks, and well done.

Thanks for making this video, well done.

Ill wait on that 600pf review :)

Hello, I find strange that your viewing numbers are low compared to some other KZbin sites. I really enjoy your sessions, and find the content as good if not better than most. Although I’m on the other side of the world, I agree with most of your comments and still find I’m learning new things every week. Thanks for a great source of information and honest clear opinions. TonyH

Me too on the Zf .. SD Cards are Slow and will Slow down the capabilities of the Expeed 7 processor found in the CF Express cameras Z9/Z8 + a Deal breaker for me. I have never owned an SD card camera and I have tons of XQD cards and a couple of CF Express

I have just got the 180-600 to go with my S 70-200 for African Wild Life on my current Z7

I really enjoy your perspective very practical and informative

Excellent shooting Mark, that sigma is no slouch either .............. Gary ......... SA

Which 1.4 Sigma primes do you have? I have the Sigma 1.4 f mount and 1.8 Z S, the Nikon 1.8 is super super sharp and since I do a lot of video, the 50 has almost no focus breathing.

Congratulations on the Z9! The latest firmware is amazing! Enjoy.

So many interesting observations but… IMO this KZbin is at least 3x youtubes in one (pro perspective on lenses, Nikon flash + bounce insight, ND filter pro advice, and a bit of a 135mm perspective (not even review)). Lots of highly informed and pragmatic advice, but buried in one long video with a narrow title (135mm review). Great material deserves more, smaller, focused videos!

Or you could buy any number of very nice legacy 135s for $20 and have the minor problem of manual focusing.

Enjoyed your review
