good town for "old" architecture shots... I just picked up the Zf and added a Viltrox 40mm. good stuff that Viltrox. You missed the interesting tree at 2:58...growing out of concrete. have a good Christmas with some more lenses as presents 😆

Hi David, nice, clean little town. Thank you David.

Found one for 180 bucks mint condition. Gonna pick it up at my camera store in a few days but finally found it.

I was hoping for headshots/portraits.

I also picked up my Leica SL2-S and it is heavy. I have Bursitis in my right arm and can't hold the heavier cameras like I used too. You can buy expensive lens but it is the camera that makes the magic work. I have better images if the lens is made for the camera system. F Mount lenses on DSLR Nikons and Mirrorless lenses for their systems. Cheers!

By placing the Non CPU lens information in only writes the info to the photos for correct Focal Length and Aperture. So we have the same adapter and can do different things but usually set the lens to f/16 or whatever is the last aperture number and the camera can adjust it in the camera. Most of the time. I tried the Nikkor 500mm E PF ED Telephoto Lens on the M8 and It didn't work out too well. LOL! Should of known not to put a lens that can block the view of the subject because the barrel being too long. I did try it by Guesstimating and Nope it didn't work. Weather has been awful in my area. Rainy for the last week. I am enjoying the cooler weather. Cheers!

No but I will now

Cheers from Poland David, lovely little lens, I really like it's rendition. I think that adapter shortens that focus distance too. I also would say i dig your hat sir! ;)

Hey hey, you made it down to Alabama. Though Valley Head is still over 5 hrs away from my town. Man, the U.S. is big. 😂

Sold off some equipment and picked up a second ZF a couple weeks ago at Competitive Camera here in Dallas TX during a Used Photo Pro buying event. This is my 2-camera solution right now when I help as a second shooter for wife's photography biz (she shoots Z8), I'm doing more hybrid video/stills now. Value to spec ratio was there for me. I even use one of the dials at least...😂 I'm looking forward to using the ZF with all my legacy Nikon glass for my own stuff. I've played around with 28, 35, & 50mm focal lengths, lean more towards the 40 for now. I carry at all times the 24-120mm F4 & 40mm F2 in my bag. I love playing around with macro and long focal lengths too, got a 100-400mm. My event/wedding roll around bag has a faster glass trinity set but I find the 24-120 gets the job done, would like that Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 but twice as much what I paid for the F4 and I've shot in some pretty dark places...light wise, LOL I think I miss the little thumb joystick on my Z5/Z6 with the directional pad on the ZF being a little lower but the Focus system is night & day with what I was using and can't go back if I want to retain my Title as Mr. Money Shot doing the fast paced stuff. I've got a cage with a right side handle on one ZF and and inexpensive grip on the other. Thanks for another video David

I enjoyed your photo walk and talk. I'm happy with the location of the + & - buttons on newer Nikons. I'm used to them being there so on the rare day that I shoot a manual lens, I know right where to go to zoom in for focus without looking. Thanks, David!

David I like the 35mm focal length on my APS-C cameras I have a Takumar 35mm3.5 manuel focus lens and a Pentax 35mm 2.4 autofocus lens. I let my son take the 35mm2.4 to Washington & Gettysburg last year when he took a group of his students to tour both areas. He sent me back a picture of the California Regiment monument at Gettysburg as one of the officers in the regiment was Colonel Thoma Baker who founded the city of Bakersfield CA the city I am from

Did you find your "beeping" issue?

That Leica 35mm Elimarit-R lens is sweet...Thank you for showing it to us David

Prefer DSLR style ergonomics. Had Nikon ZFC..was awful. 28mm very versatile. Man photographs everywhere, great historical record.

Wonderful camera and lens commentary. Straight forward common sense discussion. Thank you for posting.

Nice little place. Little being the operative word. :) Thanks for sharing!

thanks David- i was needing to find something like kden live for mint 22

Appreciate this review! Found one used for $500 and so many reviews i read are trying to convince me i *have* to have the latest and greatest, so good to hear that this is still a great lens at a much lower price point.

Very interesting review! Thank you for posting.

It looks like the chimney is no longer used. It looks like duct tape on the top. The gutters draining to sidewalk would not be good here in Chicago since in winter, there will be a sheet of ice. Like the mural at :46 and the Mustang at 3:03.

Isn't this lens intended for full frame only?

I bought this lens for $30s and was surprised somewhat at its pic.s. ?! I caught a amazing picture to my surprise of a guy on Mothers Day commiting #Suicide off the Manhattan Bridge in N-Y ?! Sharper pic. Than the memory 💯!!!!

Great video, had this lens sitting in my closest for the last 35 years, will give it a spin try on my trusty D3200 and see what magic happens. Thanks, Montreal, Canada.

Hi David, thank you for taking on the house tour. I wonder what it looks like decorated at Christmas.

Snow Plows, Street Sweepers with Brushes, etc. but I have never seen a Truck Funnel Tube Hose vacuum leaves from the street. I guess to keep the water drainage are kept clear. Colder weather less overheating and better conditions to do content. Wet is the only problem. Funny thing is leaves are still on the trees. Cheers!

There is a window in the chimney! I've never seen this neighborhood. Cool! Thanks, David!

David The house has a window through the fireplace on the second floor. The cities of Tustin and Orange in Orange county CA have neighborhoods with houses from the same era in the downtown's. The city of Orange also has Chapman College in the downtown area a private college with interesting things to photograph on the campus as I have done a few photo walks though the campus . Its interesting to see the old houses mixed in with restaurant's near the college campus

What a wonderful neighborhood, I wish more communities were built like this. Did notice the window in the chimney...odd. It looks like all the utilities come in from the back side of the houses.

Your photograph at 7:51 absolutely highlights the craftsmanship of home builders of yesterday. Great video David

Looks like they took out the fireplace on the 2nd floor so they could add a window. The other flue chase probably pass on either side of the window.

How cool! I’ve never noticed that neighborhood. Thanks for the tour!

The window in the chimney is kind of odd..lol.. Beautiful houses, you got some good shots. Those old houses will still be standing when the new 2500 sq ft $300k modern house has fallen in..New construction scares me..lol..if you have not checked them out, take a look at how the new houses are being built ..Very cheap, except for the inflated price!

That one house looked like a convergence of dutch colonial and Georgian architectural styles. Great walk! Thanks.

Focus peaking works very well on the Z6, it's a very sharp lens, and I got mine for free from the Nikon pro that sold me his old 810. Very impressed with the quality, and it's not that slow to focus on the DSLR bodies.

Thank you for sharing & well said , I was thinking about purchasing this lens on Ebay but after your video I have changed my mind .

This is a good lens review David. This would be a good lens for photographing white swans in a park.

justify what they bought...they miniplate field of view, shutter speed and f stop....this will debunk all those numbers. When you use a light meter there is no toggle for cropped, ff or large format

Still using the CL .... just like me. I`ve had mine boxed up and ready to go. A Q calling but then unboxed it again. It a great versatile little camera.

I bought the NIKON F- micro 4/3 adaptor but still cannot set the aperture? Whats wrong? Please help me to solve the problem

Reason I have not been back to Cove in 8+ years. Great video

Casually smoking opus x without showing band… subtle flex 👌

I liked the stuck water wheel shots...not being negative but in my line of work I had the urge to fix it🤣. Good shot of Mrs Saylors at the end too.

Hi David, looks like you were having a fun time. I love Caded cove. Great shots a fantastic area to be in. Thank you for the video.

Nice video David. The music was spot on for the video also. Unfortunately down here we don’t get as much fall color as you guys. A lot of our trees stay green throughout the winter. Kinda helps we only have two months of real winter. If it gets cold in December then three.

Congratulations on the bear photo. It will look great framed.

Congrats on the bear! I liked the sunrise mountain photo too. The best time at Cades Cove is right at sunrise. They will open the gate and you'll be there sort of by yourself for about 10 minutes before it gets crowded. :)

David Cades Cove traffic looks the same as summer traffic through Yosemite Valley. That's why I never go to Yosemite in the summer months I go either Spring or Fall less traffic . The fall foliage makes great pictures and the bear picture only adds to a what looks like a great fall trip
