You were incredible to work with Khadijah! Thank you so much for a great day!

[@shotbysbd]

Becky, Kon, Gray's: Thank you so much for this opportunity to connect with you all and with your audience! It is certainly a moment I'll never forget and that I'll be eternally grateful for 🙏🏾

[@graysofwestminster]

The pleasure is all ours! Must work together again either on this side of the pond or yours! :)

More and more the Z8 is looking like a great choice. The 85 f/1.2 is a awesome lens also. Great video, missed the part of Kon throwing 3 pointers though. And definitely missed Becky’s trademark image 🌺 Thanks for sharing with us.

One of my favorites, really well done & informative 👏🏻 Thanks for the skin softening test! 🙂👍🏻

[@brianglock3099]

🙂🙂🙂Always fun to hear other photographers who agree the Z9 and Z8 make a perfect pair in your kit 🙂

Z 8 looks amazing, I need that!

[@obedbrinkman]

cool z8/9 video, informative and nice setting

[@kevincole75]

Really enjoyed this video today. Always rooting for Nikon and that's from somebody who shoot Sony. Thanks

[@madst7521]

Great video. Confirmed that getting a Z8 for my 85 f/1.2 was a good idea. Now if only I had the time to go use the combo a bit more.

[@dab7963]

Help I'm on the fence. I have a zenai and I have the 50 mm 1.8 and 85 mm 1.8 I am inspired by looking at this 85 1.2 but the price is extremely high am I going to really notice the difference and do you guys think that this lens is worth the price ?

[@graysofwestminster]

You got to try it for yourself unfortunately. Some people will justify the price, some won't.

[@nickcucchiara]

The skin soften of the Z8 is gold firmware. How long until the Z9 get this feature being the flagship or is this a specific for only the Z8? Funny that I'd rather have the bottom grip as well of the Z9 but as seen in this video at 12:00 our auto mode on full display not using it.

[@mayankbaunthiyal]

Is ISO 0.3 native? Otherwise The Master has no idea that he is actually losing dynamic range! Z9 has 1/32000th of a second shutter.

Where's Kon v Becky 1 on 1 on the court 😅?

[@jackofblades6736]

20 fps for still portraits GFC. 😅
