I Followed Sam Hurd Behind the Scenes Using the Nikon ZF

In this session Sam Hurd uses the Nikon ZF with some adapted manual focus lenses - with the adapter they become autofocus.

So where is the grip from?

[@photomorti]

That was really cool to watch. Guy really knows what he is doing and very great socially

[@anggaros1]

I have been waiting for Nikon to recreate Nikon FM2 in digital tech. Namely no BS workhorse that uses low current so the battery lasts for months, all buttons, no autofocus, no chimpanzee LCD and FF sensor with HQ lowlight capability. ZF comes close but not yet.

[@jaredlindsay5823]

What app is Sam using?

[@rolfmaximiliandodon9184]

So cool...what about the grip?Is custom made?

[@duranddigital2311]

Amazing video love watching Sam's process!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@csc-photo]

Sam’s one of those guys you just instantly feel at ease around. Not that I’ve met him. You know what I mean 🙂 Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@deathspawn54]

I bought all the things because of Sam, I'm getting the techart adapter and a 55 1.2 Nikon lens and I can't wait

[@schmel.photography]

Which adapter exactly did you buy and where did you buy it? Are there any restrictions on setting it to infinity? I want to use my AI-S 35mm f/1.4 and AI-S 85mm f/1.4 on my Nikon Z 9, do you have experience with that? 

[@deathspawn54]

@@schmel.photography Sam touches more on this in his review of the Nikon ZF

[@ezekielkokspeaks]

Awesome shoot. I totally suck at shooting weddings

[@pablozanardi]

Headed off to a wedding and saw this on my subs. What an amazing clip so far, @6:23 is amazing. Thanks Sam and Taylor!

[@deathspawn54]

It's crazy how every convention center looks the same, the one in Vancouver has the same walls and carpet

[@2and20]

His creativity and energy is inspiring. Each shot has so much thought and dynamism.

[@juergenstrapko7159]

Do Someone knows which slingbag he is using

[@domjong6329]

Love those Sam Hurd videos!

[@vinyalonde]

Really interesting - It strikes me that the uptake of the Nikon Zf is quick and there is a lot of interest in adapting lenses from other mounts. Did you have any observations about the Techart adapter in addition to what Sam Hurd said? He liked it.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I have one but I haven’t used it a whole lot. It seems very nice time for my tests with my Leica lenses. Easier than using them with a manual adapter since it makes my focus distances all weird

[@TravisNutley]

I have the same adapter and have tried with the Z6 (mk1), Z8, and Z9 with Leica M lenses, as well as Nikon F and m42 to Leica M adapters. The Z6 struggles but Z8 and Z9 are pretty good. I haven't played with it on the Zf yet but hope to soon!

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!!

[@apocryphal_man]

Weirdly I'd enjoy to see Sam Hurd following TJ even more 😂

[@johncalhoun4806]

Great content - always helpful seeing masters of their craft do their thing!!! Thanks for taking and sharing!

[@eyangwillis829]

Always love this guy artworks!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

He’s very nice to follow around

[@smallcloudstudio]

wow that custom made grip looks interesting. awesome photos too!

[@westleyleonstudios]

I wonder if Sam just wasn't able to get all the same socials or was just like "And this social will be named...." lol

[@yoboogieman]

AI-Ben's learning is magnificent.

[@okuruteric]

Hey Taylor.. is Sam using midjourney to give him more ideas ?

[@pablozanardi]

That's his own app called Insight-AI!

[@Khanhnguyenphotography]

dat visssionnnnnn sooo gooodddd

[@seanward1462]

Would love to get that grip! Could a link be attached or just a bit more info on where to get one. I’ve been searching Etsy and the internet with no luck! So I look forward to any info you could send my way Thanks Sean 🥵

[@AbhinavYadav-zm7ut]

I found Sam's work through Taylor and I love watching him work, so inspiring! Taylor's a great friend for covering him so frequently.

[@konradmroczek2496]

Sam is a one, cool guy with a lot of knowledge and a pleasant personality.

[@schmel.photography]
