This year I'm doing weddings on a GFX + an FZ and it's an insanely fun pairing. The ZF with the 40mm is so friendly, it changes the energy with people in a subtle but crucial way. I'm hooked!
@brittmurray98185 ай бұрын
I've had a Zf for a few weeks now and have brought this with me more than all other cameras combined. It's in my bag now heading into work ... in an office ... with nothing really to shoot. But I have to have it with me. Super camera. I just wish they enabled IBIS for vintage lenses like Sony and Leica do (where the user selects the length of the lens). You're totally right about this camera fitting into to life better than others.

I bought the Zf as an upgrade to a d5100, so no matter what I would have been happy - but it’s so fun to use, and the video capabilities are plenty for my professional work as well! Only thing I’d like is uncropped 4k60 for wedding video, but I can compensate with a wider lens when necessary so 🤷♀️

I recently bough Zf and I really share the same feeling about it. Made me sold my fuji and Sony gear. You will be amazed by the Nikkor Z glass they are truly amazing! I currently use the 35mm 1.8S and for a 1.8 it punches way above it's weight! The rendering is amazing!! In a week or so I have already more than 3k pics taken so it really does make me want to shoot!

One of the better ZF reviews on YT! Great images! I’m thinking of buying this camera, but I only have the budget for one lens. Do you think the 40mm f2 is good as an all rounder? My other plan was to buy the Z5 with the 50mm f1.8 S..

Hey man - I saw you on Cam's YT. You gave the camera a pretty good rap, (and I don't even own one). I have two of the older Z6ii's for my business and they are beautiful cameras. Glad to see Cam grow some common-sense and get rid of the wretched Fuji camera. I stuck with fuji for over 10 years, and I didn't realise how it held my business back, and their low-light and high ISO images are woeful. I'm so glad I'm part of the Nikon Z 'family'. After my change over, I immediately got comments from clients at how much better my images were. I have 6 of their Z lenses and they are gorgeous. You even mentioned the small 40mm F2. I did a whole 5 weeks in India recently, only with that lens on. my Z6ii - I think that says it all! I'm filthy with myself for being so stupid to bum with Fuji for a decade.

The Zf got me back into shooting and editing regularly. Just like you it made shooting fun and inspired again. Its always funny to see other pros that trash it just because it looks retro and doesn't have a user dial. On all of my other cameras u never used the User modes. I have been using, however, the B&W switch on my Zf. Since it still saves the color image, I'm not losing anything, I just feel like it helps me to focus on the subject matter before the colors.
@JerichoPatrick5 ай бұрын
Ooooo I like the black and white idea! Didn’t know it saved the color to imma try it now!
@BroccoliFugitive5 ай бұрын
@@JerichoPatrick yeah it's pretty sweet. As long as you shoot in raw, it saves the color data behind the black and white. The only funny thing about it is that if you want to edit the b&w RAW image, you currently have to use Nikon's own editing software, NX Studio. NX Studio isn't bad, feels like a slightly outdated Lightroom that runs a little slower, but not horrible. If you open the b&w RAW images in Adobe Bridge or Lightroom, initially you'll see the b&w image but once Adobe's apps fully load the image in, they will only show the color raw image. A little quirky but not the worst thing ever.
@hamburg_solutions4 ай бұрын
@@BroccoliFugitive Just a quick tip. If you enable the camera profiles in Lightroom instead of using the Adobe ones only, when you import your raw BW, it brings it in with the correct profile (and still has the color info available also). If even allows you to use all the other Nikon profiles (including the 10 picture controls) in addition to the Adobe ones. Been a real game changer for me.

The most important part is some inches behind the viewfinder, second comes the light. 3rd is for sure the lens, then come, for long time, smaller aspects like location, model / subject etc. The least important, until you shoot some niche stuff, is the camera.

Yeah agree the camera plays some of the least important parts of a shoot but people don’t care about YT videos about the location that much 😢

The Zf is more about bringing fun back to your photography, just wondering the streets and looking for those short, special moments, and turn them to long-lasting memories, vs using your workhorse camera because you have to. Just IMHO.
