I've been shooting photography most of my adult life. It started with an on sale Nikon D3200 that wasn't even interested in using, all the way through being a photography business owner, teacher, and TH-cam Photography Content Creator.
My favorite subjects are Human Portraits and Shallow Depth of Field with my specialty, or claim to fame if you will, being Dramatic Nude and Bodyscape. Over my many years of photography I've mastered many genres but I never stop learning and I don't want you to stop either. That's why I started my TH-cam Channel in the year 2020. After a hiatus from photography, I picked up my camera again just in time for the Covid Pandemic. The world shut down. With more time than ever and no humans to photograph I found myself bored but motivated. ZWade Photo, the TH-cam Channel, was born.
I have always been a Nikon brand photographer, but in my community on TH-cam there is limitless room for Canon, Sony, Fuji, Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, AND any other brand, photographers. Follow along as this channel one day grows into the biggest, most honest, and most fun photography community on the internet.
I'm ZWade the ZWade in ZWade Photo, Stay Sharp TH-cam.

Man, this is a very helpful analysis video. Kudos to you, Zwade.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend 🤙🤙🤙
Love this series Z!, thanks so much for doing these
You’re welcome!
The 28-400 has been a pleasant surprise with a significantly increased keeper rate compared to the adapted f mount 28-300. Great for travelling if you can only take one lens.
That’s awesome to hear! I’ll be testing it sometime in late July. According to my schedule
Agree 100%.
Definitely a soccer mom lens.
I thought you were a historical TH-cam guy I watch for a second. I was so confused by the content switch 😂
Hahahaha Simon Whistler? I’ve heard it before lol
@@ZWadePhoto yes!
How would you rank the Viltrox 27mm and 75mm f1.2 lenses by the way?
I haven’t used or researched either of them I’m afraid. But I am build a relationship with viltrox. So maybe we’ll see 🤘
The 40mm f2 was my first lens on the z system. They actually sell cheap 3rd party kits that change the plastic mount to metal if it bothers you that much.
That I did not know. 🙌
Where would I find one of these kits? I have the 40mm f2 and I love it with my Zf, but I also want it to last as long as possible
You just want to get all your Z glass out and play don't you ! Well done!!
I don’t have that much. But I am into my mission of using them all 😜. I’ve used 26 out of 38. 12 to go
@@ZWadePhoto I have a bunch also, and love everyone of them !!
Pretty good assessment on the your rankings. The only difference from my opinion, I would probably put the 24mm F1.8 in the group for advanced hobbyist along with the 20mm. I think “for everyone” the 24-70 F4 is perfect.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🤙🤙
I sadly and fully agree on the 35mm 1.8. If I were to recommend one lens for a revision- that would be the one to improve.
Some people think I’m crazy for that one. It needs a revision, OR it just needs to be cheaper. If it’s that expensive for Nikon to make, well, all the more reason to rethink it
Great video! However sth I don't quite get is how is the 105 mc a better buy as a portrait lens than sth like 85 f1.8? The f2.8 sounds like a deal breaker for me..
I don’t think I said it was better in this video.
@@ZWadePhoto I mean you said it's a steal at the current price. I know they are not exactly same lense. But the 85 1.8 is cheaper and bigger aperture. Is it that the 105 has the extra macro capability?
@@energydw8260 it’s a steal because it’s versatile, yes, but also because of how sharp it is, its performance in and outside of macro, superb color and contrast. F/2.8 is totally normal for a macro lens.
For portraits the light gathering differences of 1.8 vs 2.8 isn’t that crazy, there are greater difference in back ground blur between 1.8 and 2.8 but that’s offset a bit by 105 being a bit longer than 85. Both at the same distance would have very good backgrounds.
The lens on its own is incredibly good and better than at its regular price is in my opinion, it’s a steal because it’s as good as it is and goes on sale.
Do the same for Fujiiiiii.
Man I wish I could but I have NO Fuji experience 😕
The new Tamron 28 75mm G2 F2.8 is now being sold. How does the newer G2 version of this lens fit into your chart.
I have that "professional" 70-200mm F2.8 and returned the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 to acquire it for 2295.00-50.00 total was 2245.00 from B&H.
My trinity would be the 28-75mm G2 F2.8 the 70-200mm F2.8 and the 180 600mm. The Tamron 28 75mm G2 F2.8 is probably my next purchase.
It wouldn’t for to THIS specific list because these are Nikon branded at all. Otherwise, I’d like Tamron to send me one to try out
Well now I'm just wanting to go spend money on lenses I didn't previously know I needed!
Hahahahaha my bad bruh.
799.95 for a noct? a bargain!
Aaaagggghh. First to catch it hahaha
I’m a senior & advanced hobbyist who shoots everything excluding event photography & portraits.
Current kit; D7500 & Z50 + 12 lenses including the Z16-50, Z26mm & Z40mm
Awaiting patiently and for a long time the announcement/release of the Z6iii + purchase the Z24-120mm, Z105 macro, & 14-30mm.
If a pile of $ drops in my lap, the Z100-400 + 1.4 or 2.0 TC.
You are bang on with your placement of lenses on your chart!
Thanks George! Glad you liked the content 🤙🤙
I don't its worth to rank lenses by professinal grades.
As in Sports Money doesn't buy goals!
Good equipment can assist but not more.
an excellent photograph can even with a pickle glass kit lens achieve excellent pictures (the composition, the planning, the understanding of the triangle, working with the limitations istead of working against the limitaions), in opposite to the "What i have to pay the world " amateur with all the 5-Star++ equipment using everything in the auto-Granny-mode (no understanding of composition, planning, no understanding of the fundamentals) who will make the better pictures.
Yes there are differences between the lenses, and the prices are justified by higher complexity, and lower number, but are usually not justified by the amount of higher performance.
I think performance is worth money. Keeper rate/performance reliability saves time and time is money.
@@ZWadePhoto The major issue in nowadays, compaired to the past high amount of electronics buil in, increased potential of failures , decreased longivity.
if you had an highend manual lens from the seventies its still high end, if you had an highend modern lens from the early 2000s its electronic waste.
24-70mm f/4.0 not listed, why? It says "All Nikon Z lenses"... Liar. EDIT: OK, it is there, but your timestamp name is wrong, it lacks 70mm.
I’ll change the time stamp. Original: “over reaction regardless” 😉
Please define "skill level". Okay, allow me to amplify. The first definition that pops up on Google is: "Skill level is a term that can be used to define a person's knowledge of a particular subject. Words such as novice, intermediate, proficient or expert can be assigned to your personal and professional attributes to demonstrate the level of experience you have with a particular skill." I think you did an excellent job of applying your personal value judgement for each lens to the given 5 categories. Since not every lens can just be tossed at a Beginner for excellent results out-of-the-box, I was expecting an assessment of mastery of lens characteristics, such as 1. avoiding wide angle distortion, 2. achieving focus (think the Noct), 3. skill at utilization of wide-aperture depth of field, 4. skill at achieving stop-action or other effects with slower lenses, 5. effectiveness of lens/body stabilization, etc. This assessment reminds me of one of your earlier, and still quite excellent, rankings.
