- This was my last morning with the Nikon Zf and I had just worked 5 days straight with Red Bull around the Ryokoku Station in Tokyo. I had about an hour to shoot before heading home to package up the camera and send it back to Nikon. It was a surprisingly productive hour and I super enjoyed using the Nikon Zf in the street again.
BIG BIG thanks to Nikon Japan for providing me with the Nikon Zf for the week. Please understand I was not paid for any of my reviews and have been allowed to express how I feel about the camera honestly.
Can't wait to get out with a Nikon Zf (my own next time) again soon!!

New camera and new locations make everything “photo worthy “! 😂👍🏾
It do be like that eh, hahaha. But hey, that’s the fun of being a photographer!
Perfect camera for street photography
I think it really is!
Thank you! My favourite… the man on the stairs at 05:40.
Thanks!! I like that shot too ❤️
I wouldn’t mind seeing the black and white jpegs out of camera instead of only the processed ones.
That is a good idea…should have done a few of those. Maybe once I get the camera I’ll try that.
Great video Jason. NIce shots also. Can't wait to get my hands on a ZF.
Cheers! Much appreciated! Hope you get it soon ✌️
Great video Jason, didn't expect to love the look of 85mm for street photography so much!
Thanks!! I love how it gets me back a little bit from the subjects so I am not so noticeable but can still get relatively up-close photos if I want.
Hey mate amazing work very calming and love the style! I also just ordered a Nikon ZF and heading over to Hokkaido in December to test it out. From Sydney
Thanks! Hope you have a great trip in Hokkaido! Going to Niseko?
Yep hitting the slopes of Niseko! Hoping to get some good photos and ski for a few days there!@@jasonhalaykophotography
@@ioriha86 sick! I hope you get some epic powder runs!
Nice shots 👍
Thanks!! Much appreciated ❤️
I enjoyed the video and some nice shots in there. Just wondering why not many shots of people coming directly towards you? I genuinely am asking with all due respect. is it a confidence thing or preference? There is so much in the way of human expression and emotion that can be captured up close and head on. Cheers, and I wish you all the best.
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment!
Not shooting people straight on is more of a preference thing than anything else. I prefer to stay out of sight of my subjects as much as possible and as I tend to shoot with 50mm or 85mm so kinda close in my opinion.
@@jasonhalaykophotography Fair enough. Thanks for the response. Thats the beauty of photography, we all get to shoot however we like. I just followed you in Insta. Cheers.
@@jkingwhistler thanks! And ya, that’s what I like about photography well! And thanks for the follow!
Great pictures. Awesome B&W tones what software do use to get those results , any tips ?. I'm still waiting for my ZF camera 😵💫
Thanks! I edit my images in Adobe Camera Raw and then some photoshop if needed, like erasing stuff, etc.
My only tip would be if you have a hard time editing finding some free pre-sets you like online can help speed things up. Lots out there for sure.
Nice preset the black and white. Is this a preset from the Zf? GREAT Fotos and Cam
Thanks! But no, this is my own edit. If you want to see what the presets look like check out this video: Nikon Zf in Black and White ONLY #nikonzf #tokyostreet #blackandwhite

Nice photos and video. What did you use to shoot video?
Used the Nikon Zf for photo and videos. It takes quite nice video if you don't mind the DX crop when shooting 4k 60p.
@@jasonhalaykophotography when you move the camera out to shoot, you are still using the same camera to film? Just trying to figure out the perspective :)
@@pkfkkknk ah, the pov shooting. Sorry, I miss understood. That is a GoPro strapped to my chest. Easiest way to get pov footage when shooting.
Nice video, but I think this is Ryogoku, not Ryokoku.
I stayed in this area for 3 months and I remember the McDonalds in the corner 😅
Hey, thanks for pointing that out. Looking back through at the station signs it looks like you are correct. Cheers!
As someone who uses both, nikon zf and nikon z8, would you say which is better in low light? Because I read all kinds of conflicting opinions about higher iso on these cameras. Great video!
I wish you wonderful and successful year! 🙏🏻✌🏻
Thanks!! I have not shot with the Z8 so can’t say too much, but I know that in low light the AF of the Zf is amazing, and I think it’s IBIS is good enough that you can shoot slower shutter speeds, thus keeping the ISO lower than maybe the Z8. Hope that helps, and I hope you have a wonderful year as well!
what lens you use?
I was using the Nikon Z 85mm f1.8. Love this lens!
Another great video, Jason. I really like your use of subtitles to explain your thought process as you went through your potential shots. Tokyo is very tasty eye candy for street shooting. BTW, what AF mode did you predominantly use for your shots with people in the frame?
Thanks! Your comment means a lot. The subtitles were an idea I saw someone else do and I liked it. Easier than voice over for sure.
I generally had my AF to face recognition on, and then I set it to a focus box (size changes here and there) so I can think about my composition before taking a shot.
@@jasonhalaykophotography Good to know. What lens were using? Sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it.
@@doogieham I didn’t mention it so all good. I used my 85mm f/1.8 all morning. Only lens I took with me.
Love these videos. Been watching your shorts and notice you shoot pretty much wide open all the time 🙃
Thanks!! And ya, wide open in the street is my style.
Отличные снимки и такое же видео)
Большое спасибо!!
50mm 1.8?
85mm 1.8, love this one!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. What lens or lenes did you use? Peace
thanks!! Much appreciated. I was using the Nikon Z85mm f/1.8 this time.
Thanks...I ordered that one a couple days ago and it's coming today! Cool beans...Thanks again and I look forward to your next video...Peace
@@mikebreazeale2563 cheers!! It’s a super great lens, I’m sure you will get some sick shots with it!
And thanks for saying you are looking forward to my next video, means a lot!!
