Of course older Nikkor D lens line can be used by FTZ, just not gonna be AF and need to use manual, what is very easy in mirror less system. Of course not for fast scene, but for steady shots Manual focuse can be used easy. This D lense compare to any AF-A D line will be poor quality, for S line even more, but on the beginning, if You short on money, You can use nearly all Your old Nikkor lenses, by FTZ adapter.
Great Video and great photos! i love this lens. although the 50 has been a staple in photography for years i think this 50 is nikons best lens ever. next grab that 85 1.8 you will love it just as much
I can’t get over how sharp it is, it’s pretty amazing. My next one, I want something a bit wider, maybe the 14-30, but the 85 is high on the list. Thanks for watching as always! 😎👊🏻
@@nespressoman if you like primes the 85 I hear is amazing. I love my 24-120mm f4, I love the range and it’s a great lens, it’s on my camera most of the time. Thanks for watching. 📸😎
@@JasonLorette Thank you too. I do love Primes, although I love the convenience of the telephotos. I bought the 70-180 Z lens and I don't know whether to keep it, I'm wondering if there is going to be an 70-200 S f4 lens some time.
Glad you're making progress with your camera. That new lens is great, and I'm impressed by the Sigma quality too. Just one initial comment you might wish to examine and possibly address - watch how much you're waving your arms about in the early shots - distracting, or not ?
Ha ha thanks Geoff, I talk with my hands, I don’t even know I’m doing it. 🤪 I was really impressed with the Sigma for filming, I may use it more for that because of the width actually. The 50mm is pretty impressive, thanks for watching! 😎👊🏻
First time i've ever seen Moncton NB in anyone's photography videos before. Dobson trail? I'm looking at the 50mm 1.8 for my z6ii. Great video, might see you around!
I got exactly the Z6ll and the z 50 1.8. one thing I didn't consider was how expensive are the 2.8 zooms. I thought about selling the camera and lens for the same price since there's almost no new Z6ll available in my country and get a Fuji XT-3 or XT-4 because the XF lenses are "cheaper" more or less. Haven't tried an XT camera so I'm not sure how worst or equal the image quality is. Do you think I'll be making a terrible choice? Got the Z6ll instead of the Z7 thinking it was more future proof but everyone seems obsessed about 45mp, now I'm not so sure and the Fuji gives the perfect escape because I know there's nowhere to go up even if I wanted to
I don’t know a lot about the Fuji units to be honest, but people that have them like them. The Z6II and the 50mm is a great combo while you look at other lenses. I didn’t need the 45MP of a z7 personally, storage also becomes an issue then. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻
You got great camera and lens... I mean just look at those photos man. They are perfect! You cant (if) do much better. One pro photographer told me that we reached probbably the max in image quality and that people are starting to miss that imperfection from the generation before. Instead of worrying about changing gear enjoy this one you have. PS Going from Nikon Z6II and Z 50mm 1.8 and go for Fuji XT-3 or XT-4 would be an idiotic thing to do 😅 Problem these days is the people are thinking too much, when you were a child or younger if someone would give you gear that you now have you couldnt sleep from joy of what you have and would produce amazing images... My opinion at least. You go for what you like ☺
Amazing lens, but I'm still really happy with the 50 G on my Z6 - it's a bit bulky with the FTZ, but probably still smaller than the new one. The bokeh isn't quite as smooth, it's not quite as sharp, but for £100 used it still punches hard! The MFD is really the only thing that would make me upgrade eventually. The 50 I use most though is actually a 40mm - the tiny, cheap Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 - it doesn't sound very exciting, but it's got a real charm to it, and the IQ is better than the Nikon 40mm IMO. Sharper and nicer bokeh.
I really enjoyed this video and I want to support the channel so much! Unfortunately I’m not ready to subscribe at this time. I want to make sure I am correct choice and not just rush in and make a mistake…. Will watch more of you and in a few months I will have the knowledge to make a prudent decision. Keep putting out new content!
People shy The Z lens Are to big … Not thinking about 1. Sharpness 2. Focus Breathe 3. Silent for Video.. That why the S is on the name of the lens’s ..
I mean, why do you even bother to do this if you are spreading misinformations? Put the af-d lens on manual and they work perfectly with the FTZ adapter! There are so many phenomenal d lenses and your video is unnecessary indeed!
@@JasonLorette Yeah, sorry but I had to comment like that! At the end, it seems that so many people today think they are photographers just because they know how to operate the camera! Take care 👍🍌👋

@@KarloFio what lack of knowledge? I was giving my first impression of the Z50mm which I did, the FTZ is fine, the old lenses work ok (most of them), but not near as good as the native Z glass.
I have this lens. It’s amazing!
@@babyboy1971 it’s a fantastic lens for sure! Thanks for watching! 📸😎

Thanks Jason for this "first impressions video". Your pictures with the Z50mm f1,8 are sensitive and vivids... Thanks for sharing. BEST REGARDS. NANO.

Don't be afraid of using the 50mm D. You'll just have manual focus. But the FOCUS PEAKING and IBIS is so darn good you won't miss a beat..
Thanks for watching! This is true, but the new 50mm is a fantastic lens for sure. 😎👍🏻
@@JasonLorette no doubt!! I keep it on one of my Z6 cameras. Happy shooting pro!!
@@LMoProVisualComm same to you Lem!
Oh, can I use D lenses on the Zf if I manual focus? 😃

The Z lens Are to big …
Not thinking about
1. Sharpness
2. Focus Breathe
3. Silent for Video..
That why the S is on the name of the lens’s ..
Thanks for watching, I rather like the size of the Z 50mm, it fits quite comfortably in my hand, to each their own I guess. 😎
@@JasonLorette Sony users are loving the small size that probably make the lens more focus breathe 👍🏼
Don't worry about it, my Z 50 f/1.2 S is bigger and heavier. ☺
@@bfs5113 and probably sharper and last focus Breathe
