Nikkor 14-24s F2.8 and Nikon Z7 with Nikon Ambassador Jasin Boland

My very brief play with the new Nikkor 14-24s F2.8 and Nikon Z7.
Hey Team, I can let the cat out of the bag!
So stoked that before I went into quarantine I was able to play with the Glorious new Nikkor 14-24S F2.8.
I wanted to share this Video with the story and images from my wet and windy night in Sydney.
So I originally wanted to do that classic shot under the Harbour Bridge from the Rocks but in typical out of towner style I missed the turn off and ended up at Luna Park.
I always wanted to try my hand at getting a shot there so it all worked out super well.
Remind me to bring a rain jacket and camera cover next time, but hey it's a great testament to the legendary Nikon weather sealing on the Z7 and 14-24...
I have to say there’s just something about the S lenses that pop with contrast and blacks, maybe the elements are denser or maybe it's because of the massive Z mount that allows the lenses to be closer to the sensor allowing them to be little thinner cutting down on flare or maybe it's just both taking this series next level.
I have noticed this with all the primes too, to the point I swapped out my 85 1.4 F mount to my 85 1.8 Z mount on a massive poster shoot for Disney a few weeks back to eliminate flare.
Love, love, love my S glass, best in class for sure!
So stoked the Holy Trinity is complete!
Any questions fire away...
Critique welcome too, it's not my forte, i'm more suited to things crashing and blowing up around me remember but I have to say I really enjoyed the solitude, it's very Zen doing these shots!

Thanks Handsome!

I love Sydney. I wish I could get back there with my Z7.

I just picked up this lens... it's incredible the colours that are coming out of it thank you for the lens cap tip

[@JasinBoland]

haha did you fall for the lens cap trap too?

[@Johnd3s]

Jasin, you really nailed the bridge image totally and I have to say that the combination of the Z7 and 14-24f2.8 really shows what this combination is capable of. I am still sitting on the fence about mirrorless as I just continue to love my D6&D5 with all my existing lenses, so much so that as soon as I can I am looking to rent the 120-300f2.8. Cannot wait to see the Pro version of the mirrorless if it is going to be the Z9) maybe then look at switching one body. Thanks so much for sharing your insights and the great video of you and Nicola Dove (great boss to have) Regards, John

John, I totally hear you. It's hard to pull myself away from those beasts but I have found myself falling into my mirrorless bag more everyday. I just bought the 120-300 2.8 but I suspect it may well be the last f mount lens I buy. The S glass just blows me away to the point I want it all!

As long as the new Z trinity is lighter than the F ones. I love the F trinity and its great, but it's very heavy.

[@JasinBoland]

Hey Roy, the 14-24 somehow is tiny! Not sure how they did, I know the element configuration is different but they are gorgeous. Take the difference in weight between the DSLR and the mirrorless bodies they are lighter all round. D850 with 70-200 f2.8 F mount 2345g Z6 with 70-200 f2.8 Z mount 2115g.

@@JasinBoland Smaller lighter BETTER. My z cameras are just for fun at the moment. I'm waiting for the 105mm Z lens and the Z8 (Although I like EN-EL-18 batteries - the Z9 looks too bulky)...

[@AdamDLevy]

Well done. Weird shooting in civilian clothes?

[@JasinBoland]

haha yep, makes me feel vulnerable and I certainly don't have the skill these magnificent warriors have!
