Hahaha. The original tier list was really a bit of my opinions while also trying to speak to a less knowledgeable audience, people who are not in the position I am, with no kids, wife or many responsibilities, and budget is a BIG factor. I even had to rank the 50 1.2 lower on value for money and that hurt my spirit lol People got their feelings hurt so bad that I just had to troll the trolls hahahaha
@@ZWadePhoto I feel ya dude. And it's why I only follow a handful of photographers here on TH-cam now. When I went live on Grays, I got criticized for my brand name before the livestream even started. But on the bright side, negative comments help with the algorithm, so that's always welcomed I think.
I’ll go back through all your old videos and let you know if your opinions are wrong in those as well. It looks like you’ll have plenty of content for the foreseeable future! Zwade Fauxto FTW.
The two I'd say are over priced are the 35mm 1.8 (at regular price, which I think is $849 currently) and the 24-200 which is $899 currently. The newly released 28-400 is a bit high at $1299, but I guess when you consider the optical performance overall and the zoom range, it might be OK, but borderlined "expensive" for what it is. As far as you get what you paid for, I think the 40 f/2 (while a good lens) goes in that category, same with the 28's (basically the pancake lenses in FF). I'd probably also throw the 14-30 in that category too. It's good, but it's not like the 14-24, but you also only paid $1199 or less for the 14-30, so you got what you paid for. You paid half of the 14-24 but got a less sharp, less fast lens with some additional issues (over the 14-24). But I would say on the whole, with the exception of somet of the perhaps exotic lenses like the 600 and 800mm prime lenses, their pricing isn't too bad and you do roughly get what you pay for, and in some cases, lenses perform well considering their price (like the 50mm 1.8 which I think while $629 is expensive, it is MUCH better than other 50mm lenses in other brands, and a huge step up from the 1.8G version that was only $220 for F-mount). Luckily the 50 1.8 S occasionally goes on sale for $529 which is a good price (although $629 MSRP is a bit high for a 50 1.8, especially now that we have cheap unlicensed third parties also making 50mm 1.8 lenses for Z, like Viltrox and now a few others -- although they are compromises, but the prices are hard to beat at $200-$400).
Thats i am going to buy the 24-200.. You convinced me to after saying its junk i have to try it. ;) lol good video i like it. People get SO bent out of shape over this stuff.
Absolutely not. lol, I only made this video because people were being babies that I don’t agree with whatever they believe that I decided to troll the trolls. My original videos is still my opinion of the line up.
The thing that pisses me off the most is their FTZ adapters. No AF support for screwdrived lenses. How hard can it be. Despite that I am going to get the Nikon 105mm F2 DC and slam it on my D850. Screw that😅😅
I totally agree. Nikon should have also given that adapter away for free when they first launched the mirrorless system, and after a little while then start charging for it. I think they missed an early adoption opportunity
Somebody came down on you hard, Nikon? Nonetheless, I own a lot of the lenses that my kind is made. So I guess I should shut my mouth and live with what I bought! Cute video.
I'm actually testing it the weekend of the 6-16-24, but the video won't be released until November 30. Except for channel member's. They'll see it as soon as it's uploaded.
Man you did the right thing, we should all shut our fat mouths and buy, buy, buy, buy. There's a Nikon song right there there there.... ;) Love your channel man x
No. Lol people were being so bitchy because I didn’t rank things as high as they wanted, and also 100 other things so I made this video to troll the trolls lol
??? Hi Zade, I was not on the same page as you on the previous video for some items ( the under estimation of the 14-30 f4 and the 24-70 f4) but this time to be honest I stopped thie video when I saw more than 12 lenses on the first category… it s no more a ranking it’s a nikon advertisement. I just un- register :(.
Hey Phil, this video was made as a joke because the first video I made hurt a bunch of people’s feelings because I didn’t rank their lenses high enough and they got to bitching and arguing in the comments. This isn’t an advertisement, this is me making fun of those people and ai find it hilarious that you had a disagreement with my last video and then can’t tell that this one is a joke lmfao. Thanks for watching.
The one thing about being a TH-camr. The clownshow of trolls who cant handle an opinion that differs from theirs. usually from someone who wont make videos themselves lmao. Funny how hypocrisy works. Keep up the great work, Zach.
I'm confused by this list. If it's value for money, how can something like the 20mm be in "Shut you mouth..." category? It's more of a niche lens, meaning most people won't find value in it. It's almost like this video is skewed more toward performance and optical quality, which has less to do with value... at least the way I thought we were defining value. This is not intended to be disrespect.
@@johnw.3636 I just realized this comment was on this video not the original. This video is a joke response to a bunch of feelings that got hurt from the real one I did. Which is a very loose observation and opinions

@ZWadePhoto Haha You're not the only one. If you go to some comments sections and say the slightest thing about Canon or Sony, you better put on a hard hat for all the bricks that will come your way. Lol It's why I've mostly stopped commenting on other brands. I'm not a brand loyalist and call it like I see it with any brand, even Nikon.

@@ZWadePhoto Thanks. I'm back to the Nikon fam after 20some years. Just picked up a Z8 and the 24-70 & 70-200 2.8 lenses this past weekend.

I was listening to this while working thinking this was a serious video. 5 minutes of my life are now gone to this troll. I'm not sure who I'm more annoyed with, you or myself.
First off...You're. Secondly...You're. Thirdly, I'm not bought and payed for. I can't even get NPS membership thank you very much. Lol. This video, is troll of the trolls because the first REAL video I made on this exact subject hurt lots of wittle feelings because my opinion doesn't confirm their bias and buyers remorse. Actually, in a way you'll understand..They're bias. See what I did their. See? I did it again. Again this video is clearly a joke and if you didn't get that, that's on you.
