Its funny how some folks use to point out that (put camera name here) has .01 stops less dynamic range than Nikon or Sony or vice versa. Everybody pointed to the photons to photos dynamic range charts and the battle enraged on many forums about this and now we toss it all away with auto iso. If I absolutely need that shot I will sacrifice dynamic range with ISO but otherwise I dont want my fancy new $8k camera to have less dynamic range than a camera built 15 years ago like the Canon 7D as an example. Can others chime in on how they feel about dynamic range due to auto iso. I do use auto iso for video but for photos I pay close attention when using auto iso. For birding some dark days I have no choice and have to accept ISO 3200 but I would rather lower it to 1600 - shoot under exposed and push the gain up in post. The image detail does disappear at higher ISOs thats a fact. Incidentally I just traded in my Canon R6mk2 for a Nikon ZF - first time shooting Nikon and the iso settings are driving me up the wall :)

There is so much to unpack with this question. 1) People misuse the entire point of what DR is and how it's measured. Let's say you have a scene that is pushing 12 stops...guess what? Almost no camera, not even one with 13 stops, is going to give you a good photo of it. Now, will the 13 camera resolve shadows just a teensy bit better than a camera with 12 in that scenario? Sure. 2) These cameras today, even if they have the same DR on paper as a 7D, render noise and tonal transitions better. You can't just compare the numbers. 3) As said in the video, ISO 3200 on a modern camera far surpasses the same ISO value on an older camera, so you have to test your camera and find the highest ISO you're comfortable with. The only way you're squeezing every drop of DR out of your camera is to shoot at base ISO. It's a rare day to be blessed with good enough light with the appropriate subject to be able to do that. I just stopped caring about maximizing every drop of IQ and focus on trying to capture moments with the best settings I can for that moment of light.

I have three main reasons that I still use manual ISO, 1) I'm an amateur, will have to nail the triangle in my head. 2) I have a wish that I'll be able to shoot film in the future, if it's still existing then. 3) When I tried manual mode with auto ISO on, I found that every photo I shot have the same light level, it made the dawn light and the dusk look the same perfectly lit, which not my intention, I want the light level in the scene reflect the time of shooting like early morning, late, afternoon, evening, have different light level, and I don't want to adjust them in post. But yeah, everyone can do any way they want, no rules basically. Thank you for the video.

I was on the fence between the Zf and the Z6iii for my second body, and I went for a slightly used(14000 shutter count) Zf. I had listened to all the reviews, and what I would say is: do not listen to the negatives, they are really minor, this camera is a great camera, it is my favorite unless I need 45MP, which is not that often. It brought back the joy of photography, it is really hard to describe, but it just makes you think a bit more and then rewards you, and the controls, once you set it up the way you like it, are just perfect, they are just different from other bodies. I am an amateur, so pros with specific needs might not like it, I actually got mine from a pro. Anyways, if you want to fall in love with a camera as you did with your first one, this is the one to get.

What Nikon should have done with the Zf. First they should have handed the person designing the controls a FM3A and a F2 Photomic. On those cameras where did you find the film speed setting (ISO)? On the shutter dial. That is a scheme that would easily fit the Zf and would allow the left dial to be re-purposed with more useful functions. Such as the Mode selection and underneath you could have the selection for the Single and Continuous Release options. Now, moving to the front on the film cameras where the self timer lever was placed you could have a similar shaped 3 position lever to control Focus mode. Front Command dial - lose it. Aperture can be controlled with the rear command dial because the shutter speed is only set by the Shutter Speed Dial unless it has been set to A. On the I Menu there will be some dedicated buttons that work with the Command Dial and these buttons will be to the left on the I Menu for an easy reach for the left thumb. One is The AF Area mode setting, hold down the button and roll thru the settings with the Command Dial. Another is the Auto ISO maximum, hold the button down and the max is set. The toggle switch for the Auto ISO will also reside in the I menu. The lock on the left dial can get ditched. It's a PITA on my Z7 II to have to hold that stupid button down while fighting the heavy resistance on the detents for that dial. Rest assured that dial won't get bumped by accident.

Had to go way back for Nikkor lenses seemed built for this model. The solution for me? Manual Voigtlander F series (28/40/58). I have several CVs, including the two APO-Lanthars you mentioned for another system, but of course I can’t adapt to F. Anyway, like you, I have 47 & 50MP cameras, but this even lower 16MP, does just fine. Hell, so does the 5D Classic’s 12MP.

But when I went to shoot low, I’d much rather have a tilt screen. All choices in design involve compromises. You want a perfect 50mm lens? Try spending over $2000 to own a bazooka that intimidates anyone you point it at. I simultaneously love and hate my 50mm f/1.2.

Great review, thank you for sharing. I agree with your frustrations regarding the ISO dial. For me, I have been using the ISO dial basically as a shutter speed dial while in Aperture priority mode....I have it set to 100 most of the time, but when I need to increase my shutter speed substantially in the moment for some reason I just give it a twist. I don't really care what the ISO dial lands on most of the time, the camera seems to handle high ISO noise really well, and if its a problem then Lightroom AI denoise has actually been pretty helpful. I have no idea how to use video functions as I have only ever had cameras that do well with photos, but I would be interested to learn more.

Only minor disappointment is the very flimsy battery access door which feels like it could be easily damaged

@@ronaldsand3000 definitely agree, it’s a shame the bottom of the camera basically feels like low quality plastic compared to the rest of the body. Once you put a grip on and get metal down there it’s much improved.

You can set auto iso on one of the buttons. Hold it and turn the dial to turn on and off. I live in Florida and use the voigtlander 40mm 1.2 for landscape quite often and never had glare issue.

I’ve used up all my custom buttons for more important stuff, plus the way I shoot AutoISO combined with the EC dial works faster IMO. I have a suspicion the glare issue is more face shaped related. Deeper eyes and brows probably don’t experience it.

I think its more like a spatula... I love it too, but I want it for cooking not as a audio tool. 😄

Great video, I love the old Nikon 105 P 2.5 on the ZF, it’s awesome. Hard lens to beat.

Had that lens for a bit, it was very nice! Wish I could have gotten focus confirmation with it, would have likely kept it.
