I shoot the 35-150 you are speaking of and have the adaptor for it. It works flawlessly. Heres the name you can amazon ETZ21 Lens Adapter Mount Megadap FE-Z for Sony E - for Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter. This paired with the 35-150... game changer

Great video, I just got a z8 a few days ago. I’m looking forward to shooting with it next week!

[@Martin-N-Tracey]

Thanks for posting, I’m holding out til the Z6iii and hoping they improve the autofocus. Regarding your tamron 35-150mm lens I find that the Megadep ETZii adapter works like a charm on my 70-180 sony tamron lens. I’d be curious for you to try it on your 35-150 and post about it.

[@marqman05]

Thank you for the video of the z8 in action and how you use it, this always helps me with how I could adjust my camera. I hope you are enjoying the z8.

[@jakaufma1933]

Thanks for your great video. I followed your advice - sold my canons bought Z9 with tampon 35-150, what amazing lens. I have also ordered the 135mm. What else do you use with the Z9/Z8? for events, wedding and portraits

[@connypersson1113]

Thanks for another excellent wedding video. I was wondering though if you would consider making an autofocus settings video like you did with the Nikon z6ii? Wishing you a really good wedding season. Bedt regards Conny

[@random_dev]

Hi, So this one over the Sony A7R 5 as wedding hybrid (and all-around) camera for you ? The less-perfect autofocus by low light can be a bit cumbersome, but it has others advantages…

[@Qfotolens]

love the content as always - what camera monitor are you using by the way.

[@Zacheldridge]

Thanks Taylor! Love the work you do. Thank you for taking us along for the wedding day shoot! Very useful being able to see your settings as you're shooting image.

[@TheMiddlemanPc]

Serious question - When you do an outside wedding, do you wear and undershirt to hide the sweat or do you just not put one on to stay cooler?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I wear a shirt under. I also don’t live somewhere that gets to 40C though

[@jeffdobson4625]

love the BTS!! What are you using to record your camera like this?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Ninja Star

[@champagneshutterphotography]

The Z 24-70 2.8 is my next purchase. Interesting how much you stick to 2.8, which I love, but I’d be nervous about this as a couple walked along, in regard to the potential for them being on different focal planes, can you advise on when to stop down for this; for instance, when couples/groups posing on slightly different planes I’d likely be at 5.6 to 4? Thanks

[@kifley19]

Isn't 1/80 shutter too slow for dancing shot?

[@stevevansak7324]

Just curious, any reason why you keep the camera on sports mode IBIS?

[@paulgero]

Taylor are you using something other than a Ninja 5 to record your screen? Could you share what it is, if you are?? Thanks!!

[@DavidAlli]

Thanks for this. Your shooting manual but is the ISO on Auto or Manual?

[@svenburg]

Great to see Nikon back in the event/portrait/wedding game with the Z8, but I don't think I would pick it over the Sony A7R5 + 24-70/2.8 GMii + 50/1.4GM at this point if I could only have one.

[@kifley19]

That 24-70mm 2.8 GM II is so light and sharp. I sold it because eye af was trash on my A7iv and it overheated.

[@ottenburg]

@@kifley19 very good on a A7R5 or A1

[@ErinRockford]

Thank you for the helpful video!! But how do not use a camera harness and not drop your camera??

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I just hold it. Never been a problem to not drop my camera

[@1215mymy]

Your AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Totally with you on that tamron lens and fingers crossed because it’s not something I can see Nikon making so no competition.

[@Trevisol16]

Do you think that the Z8 "too much" camera for weddings? I currently have two Z6 II cameras, but I'm not sure if I should wait for the Z6 III, in case it arrives soon. Alternatively, I could invest in the Z8, which is a fantastic camera, although it would consume my entire equipment budget. The grip, improved autofocus, and raw video capabilities are the features that appeal to me and might convince me to upgrade.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

It’s hard to say. Camera companies make it really hard to know what they’re going to release until they announce it.

[@Trevisol16]

​@@TaylorJacksonPhotoYeah, that's what I'm afraid of. But, regarding the Z8, do you think the upgrade is worth it? I'm just wondering if the differences between these two cameras are significant when it comes to weddings and events. And, thank you for all the great content you put here all the time!!

[@TEN21Portraits]

I’ve owned it for about a year. I wouldn’t use it on a wedding it struggles with AF-C too much to risk it.

[@MrJVisionz]

@@TEN21Portraits hmm i havent had any issues

[@RemyOrtiz]

It's funny that you stick to primes on a wedding day but 85% of the shots I take on a wedding day are on the Z 24-70 F/2.8S. It's such a versatile lens, really.

[@yoelrey]

That lens is awesome!

[@sloppy-1-1]

No more 70-200? Nice informative video, its interesting to see how you compose with a lot of people in the shot.

[@DieHardEddieEdwards]

Do you prefer not to have the white bars off on the side when taking pictures? Or can we just not see them?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I have them on and the sound on 1. It just doesn't show you them for some reason, all you get is the countdown for buffer to show photos are being taken

[@timmuza]

Wut were your SETTINGS tho?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

My settings are lens cap

[@timmuza]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto no cap.

[@stevevansak7324]

😂

[@SuperVokan]

Don't you hate the 24-70?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I think I talk about this in the video. The Nikon Z version is one of the best lenses ever made

[@timmuza]

I read this as “Don’t you hate pants?!” Homer heckling Krusty the Clown doing stand up.

[@SuperVokan]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto II just watched a video of yours yesterday that you stated you didn't like like the focal range or using a 24-70. Nothing about the sharpness.

[@timmuza]

@@SuperVokan another Simpsons reference, the nerd at the itchy and scratchy meet and greet: “In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something?”

[@laranitasantana]

What is the hurry

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Gotta go fast. It’s the internet

[@RemyOrtiz]

BTW, your VR was in sport mode all day instead of normal; you do this a lot. 😂

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Camera comes default to it. I don’t notice it being a problem
