I recently went on a trip to Peru for the AfterShoot retreat, where I had the chance to engage with fellow photographers and capture some stunning images. During the retreat, I delved into the technical aspects of photography, with a strong emphasis on using natural light and making the right lens choices. I also shared insights into my editing process, showcasing my approach to post-processing and color grading.

    I just bought my first mirrorless camera, a Sony A7C2 japanese model from Bic Camera in Japan. It happened to be on sale. I now have slight buyer’s remorse. I learned to shoot on a 35mm film camera. The Nikon ZF seems better suited to street photography and adapting vintage MF lenses that I can buy from used camera stores in japan. The price difference between these 2 cameras was negligible. Shooting on the sony, while the end results are quite sharp, is such a sterile experience. The AI A.F. Does all the work. Should I switch?

    I only shot my first wedding with Z8 last Saturday. After 3,5 years with Z6II it was huge jump for me in terms of camera performance. Honestly, the only thing I would need in Z6II is AF from Z8 and probably better ergonomics. I see no benefits from larger number om mpx. It is truly amazing camera (Z8) but a little too much for most of us. I work with two cameras so I will have to replace the other Z6II with Z8 as well anyway.

    love the review. my favourite lens was the 55 f1.2 AIS, thou i'm a sony user, i still kept the lens. Could you help me here as I'm trying to understand your adaptor arrangement? You mention mounting a manual F lens on a F to M mount and Techart M to Z mount would enable the auto focus. So I'm guessing manual F to M mount, with techart M to E mount on sony body would work too?

    • @SamHurdPhoto
      @SamHurdPhoto 9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      yes, i believe that combo would work too. note that the techart m to e mount adapter does not have the same functionality as the z mount version. i believe some focus modes are limited on sony

    Shooting the z8 for quite some time now, I realized that to get good high iso performance it’s best to not underexpose. Exposing for the subject usually yields the best results imo.

  • @dakotaxu4792
    @dakotaxu4792 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This is such a great review! I have a question though: was that the manual focus Leica Noctilux 0.95 that you were using with an adapter on the Nikon Zf? Can you please tell me the name of that adapter? Thanks.

  • @sorenhese7334
    @sorenhese7334 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    move the Texture Slider to neutral position (11:50) and use sharpening only together with masking slider - this will not remove the problem with reduced DR but I guess the noise will be less apparent. Its usually good to start with neutral settings on the LR slider side. Adobe profiles also can make a difference when you import RAW files. This might have been fixed in the mean time. D850 was the DR king on low Iso - the Z8 is nearly 2 ev behind as far as DxO rankings show.

    TL;DW: He got the Zf because he preferred the shutter sound and a flippy screen. There, I saved you 16 minutes! 😅😅 Quote from the end: "I'm very impressed; very happy with it [Z8]" But he preferred the aesthetics of the Zf - this is totally fair, but the video thumbnail was misleading clickbait tbh as it sounds like OP actually liked the features that most people are watching reviews to learn about.

  • @MrKotische
    @MrKotische 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thank you for your video. If the shutter sound is the only drawback, it looks like I need to buy this camera) Many reviews on TH-cam mention the fact that the Z8 (unlike the R5 or A7R5) focuses on the eyelashes instead of the iris. Of course, we are talking about the open aperture of fast lenses. Could you confirm or refute this opinion? Thank you

    What REALLY needs to happen is Photographers and Videographers need to really give this a go and stick with it and report the things that would make sense. I also agree that most of my "issues" wiht this headset are software based. EXAMPLE I HATE using tackpads so if I wanted to edit in lightroom mobile, or davinci resolve (native apps WITHOUT my laptop) you CAN'T use a real mouse!

    I am officially confused as hell over this catalog business. I have heard people say they create a catalog for every project, or one for the year or just 6 main catalogs covering various projects. I have no idea who to listen to and what to do. if you have a catalog for every year, then why do you merge that into another one for the new year?? PLEAE EXPLAIN. THANK YOU

    ISO is best thought of as signal to noise ratio. Feed the camera some signal and you will have less noise.

      very true, but some cameras need less signal than others before noise is introduced
