Meanwhile a D850 is still just as good or even better than the THIRD generation of Nikons milc lineup.

Whats the point.

I'm still shooting my D3. Not really sure if I want to upgrade to 850 yet. Maybe in another 10 years.
>>
>>4353548

Solution: Buy a small lightweight film camera (such as a FG), use primes with lens hood, shoot Ektachrome (look for bulk loaded rolls) with an 81a-812-KR1.5 (most accurate) or KR3 filter.

Enjoy superior lifelike rendering that no digital device can match when viewing or projecting the slides directly, from a camera small enough to always take with you (endless photo opportunities)!

>>4353449
Its actually sharp
Its weather sealed
It has a metal mount and real glass
It has a declickable aperture ring and an af/mf switch
>>
>>4353560
Yeah the thing that gets ignored is that you gotta stop the EFS 24mm f/2.8 down to at least f/4 for edge-to-edge sharpness. If the snoy pancake is sharp at f/4.5 then it looks like an even playingfield
>>
>>4353561
The sony 40mm f2.5 is razor sharp at f2.8 and has a leica or voigtlander like rendering at f2.5

The Nikon plastishit 40 f2 suffers from so much field curvature that f8-16 are its only good apertures. Lets not even go into nikons oversized bodies that cost a ton but even the z8 has worse autofocus than an entry level canon

Here are the only big mirrorless worth buying:
Sony a7rv a1
Canon RP R8 R6II R5II R3 R1
Leica M11 and all variants
Fujifilm GFX100(S)II
Hasselblad 907x+cfv100c

Otherwise just go mft/apsc/dslr, you arent missing out on much but pixel peeping NIGGONS f1.4 sized f1.8s whenever you actually hit focus
>>
>>4353571
but nikon has no good apsc bodies either…

I had a sony and then a nikon

the sony setup was better and funner in literally every way except for the part where it fell in a lake and then later the ibis dropped to -1 stops, not just including the lens, especially the lens. if you have a nikon the best course of non-poorfag action is to adapt that sony lens instead of using the native alternative.

Ewww who cares. Hybridization is everything wrong with cameras today, those faggots already had camcorders why they have to shit everything up for the stills people too
>>
>>4353599
Early mirrorless and later DSLRs did hyrbidization right. Video was there, and good enough for home movies/youtube, but it wasn't such a priority stills got KEKED.

Now we have the current situation, with low DR full frame cameras and oversized lenses - "but but but the focus breathing correction!" "the overheating on those 2hr takes in 4k60! THE UNCROPPED 4k120!" yeah ok but my "camera" now sucks as a camera compared to a d750. Yikes.
>>
>>4353601
it's ironic because whenever I want to take a video I use my iPhone. it's less trouble than fucking around with the video settings on my cam and also I don't really care if it's perfect because video is just snapshits
I care about stills quality though

Its hard to find pictures from it that dont have people in them. It was only in use for about 2 weeks.

If it was a lot cheaper and slightly smaller maybe it would have been fun. I never should have gearfagged hard enough to consider it. On those grounds, the Z6II with worse autofocus is actually a better camera that I enjoyed using more than the design failure of the century.
>>
>>4353624
>the argument against it is that he doesn’t like the ergos and prefers PASMshit.
You’re supposed to shoot it like an old film camera. The UX is much better than any new camera because of it. So yeah if you want plebeian automatic modes and sortcuts I guess it misses the mark. If you want to take good pictures and have full manual control then the Z f is the best currently produced camera you can buy. Also, the 40mm kit lens is superb even if its plastic.
>no native glass with aperture ring
Yeah I’d like that too but it’s such a non issue. Buy a Voightlaender if you want that.
>>
>>4353634

If it's frustrating as nikons only professional camera that doesn't have its sensor suffering for videosports, and only good as an oversized fe2, just shoot film. Simple as.

If I ever need a professional camera again I'll just rent a canon and a 24-70.

The control ring that has no clicks? Another nikon UX L. The ZF is just a money grab after-thought. Nikon's real goal is becoming panasonic.

>>4353571
I mostly agree but the a7c series are great for most people, I can't find anything wrong with the a7iv except for burst rate faggotry, and I disagree with the r3/r1 and a9 series being used for anything but newspaper journalism. Most people don't need a goofy looking, slightly crippled sony with an ethernet port. If you find a cheap enough a9ii, I guess its alright?
>>
>>4353638
Yes. It’s defaulted to the front right dial under the shutter button.
>>4353639
I do shoot film. But when I’m shooting digital I ant that experience to be as similar to film as possible. The Z f does that in a way few other cameras do and doesn’t have dogshit build quality like a Fuji. No other digital camera has held my interest and kept me taking digital photos like a Z f because PASM and ergo grips are revolting.

>is bothered by fuji build quality, not all the bloat on the zf, the plastic Z lenses, and the plastic bottom plate

>>
>>4353645
>bloat
I choose my file quality. I set my ISO. I set my aperture. I set my film speed. There’s an exposure compensation dial. That’s all there is to the camera.

Real bloat is custom dials and buttons and sub-menus that don’t matter.

Not trying to convince you. You’re clearly someone who enjoys the PASMshit experience and has small hands that cannot grip a traditional body. I’m just here to tell you that you’re wrong,

>You’re clearly someone who enjoys the PASMshit experience and has small hands that cannot grip a traditional body. I’m just here to tell you that you’re wrong.
I'm a "if it's there, it's meant to be used" kind of person. I don't necessarily prefer PASM and one of the problems with the Zf is that it is still a PASM camera instead of the older "put the dial on A" system. if Nikon wanted to make a legitimate competitor to leica in the retro market, that would have been great. Especially if it were an SLR, and SLR sized, or better yet, a revival of the nikon SP. Maybe they could fix the focusing experience by putting a mechanical focus lever on the body, coupled to the RF, that synced with the electronic focus control in the lens with no perceptible latency. But it's not that. It's a fuji skin slapped on top of a PASM z6ii with a firmware update.

Sony going to over 30mp for the a7iv was an intentional move to make the a7siii look like it had better noise performance than it actually did.

>>4353885
>High megapixels do actually have worse noise
This has never not been true, and yet there are gearfag shill brigades that keep arguing against it with mental gymnastics like "if i downscale both images to 1 megapixel the signal to noise ratio is the same, so they're the same" but its clear the colors are fucked

The reason must be either a genuine MTF chart fetish, or they're being paid off by sony
>>
>>4353912
If you take a 60, 40, and 30mp Sony and scale them down to 8mp then according to DXO the results are pretty much identical across the board, not just noise. I would assume the same would hold true if the 60 and 40 were taken down to 30,
>>
>>4353950
Sans AI cope, color quality at high ISOs takes a nosedive with anything over ~26mp.

Even scaling to 8mp can't get rid of the color fog that you need to basically murder the colors to fully get rid of
>>
>>4353560
it also fits on a Zf, not that anyone would want it to.

Gearfags famously cut off DR based on the computed whole image SNR pre-NR raw files, a metric that has no relevance to anyone who actually takes photos whatsoever.

So why aren't they cutting off DR based on PDAF banding?
>>
Why is it that Z5/Z6's are going for comparable prices on the used market to D750's? Are they about the same in quality?
I've been hearing that Nikon's quality has gone down recently
>>
>>4355691
tech issues.
>z5, z6
really crappy autofocus made fuji look great
>z6, z7
PDAF banding in semi-deep shadows. the z6 and z7 also had recalls for defective IBIS units.
>z6ii, z7ii
this is the gen where the PDAF banding is mostly gone (if you really look hard, you might see it in the noise) and the autofocus is comparable to fujifilm's in tracking capability, speed, and accuracy. DSLRs still outperform it in the cluster point/single point modes you'd use when the tracking refuses to cooperate.

also, yes, nikon's quality went down. first they closed most of their service centers and began stiffing independent repair businesses, cutting off parts supply. then the z8 and z9 both had recalls (two recalls on the z8). ken rockwell got cameras to review and ended up dealing with tilted EVFs and shit. on top of them being the brand that wont repair your camera even if you pay if you live in the US and bought it from a japanese pawn shop, and canon cameras being comparable now, nikon is looking like they deserve to be #6 under panasonic and fuji.
>>
>>4355695
It's a shame. I like the D750--I use one for work--but that's leaving me to choose between Canon 5DMIV's and Sony's A7III for comparable prices used.

no japanese camera companies are playing well with consumers. european ones are just flat out taking their money with no pretense. this is a dead market, reverted to the oldest mean, overseen by total sticks in the mud, con artists, and luxury lifestyle brands because all of the people who could have made a choice and demanded improvement already sent their money to apple/samsung, so now the remaining camera companies are just finding creative ways to wring money out of the remaining people who were always buying ILCs.

Why is the D850 still so damned expensive?
>>

its expensive and giant and no one knows why. it doesnt even have built in GPS. why is it twice the price of a z7 in comparable condition?

apparently nikon started going downhill then (the d810s plastic mount sent up some red flags) and "nikon people" arent exactly sane these days. we're talking about a company that released ff cameras that couldnt use the whole ff dynamic range meme and has issued recalls for 4 new models (z6, z7, z8, z9) thus far are we not?

I just got a Z5 and a 40 f/2 for it this week. I'm really liking it. I still have my D850 and a bunch of F-mount lenses. I should probably buy an FTZ II mount shouldn't i...
I still like that camera a lot but I'm already happier with the focus on the Z5. Just feels like the viewfinder focus on my D850 missed inconsistently. And I usually shoot by dropping a pin manually over the eye or what-have-you.
Maybe I should take it to a shop and ask if I'm just retarded. The live-view of the D850 doesn't miss focus nearly as much (different mechanism).

What is it you don't understand?
No auto-focus needed, hence analog
Wide angle indicates a focal length lower than 35mm

I will additionally rephrase my request: I'm looking for an analog wide-angle lens for my Nikon Zf. Do you have any recommendations for something between 24mm and 28mm?

if you mean manual focus, just say that
analog is ambiguous, and could imply something film (analog) related, like you were after a film-era or film-compatible wide angle
or could even mean the focus mechanism is mechanical (analog) and not focus by wire

>>
>>4360007
>about to triple the size of my camera and switch to an entirely plastic lens for 1 extra stop of dynamic range
>>
>>4360033
Why do people on this site pretend that the zf is so huge? They say it's the size of a z8, but it's roughly the same size as a z6, and actually smaller in certain dimensions, like depth, because it lacks the grip and the viewfinder bulge on the back. I own the z6, and it's not a large camera. The lenses are a different story, though. They are quite large.

Are you high, or just so used to canonikon boomer blobs you have no perspective?

It weighs twice as much as the x100vi even with the shitty plastic lens that makes the $2500 of weather sealing you paid for entirely pointless. The 26mm is worse than the x100vi lens, also not weather sealed, and not even a whole lens without a filter and the hood. Only the giant lenses like the 35mm f1.8 are any good on nikon.

The DF was one and done abandonware made to scam hipsters and the ZF is too. The X100VI or OM-5 is a better camera for street photography. Even a snoy is.

Lots of people opt for the grip which adds a bit of bulk and weight. I've switched to a leather case instead, helps with the grip. but much smaller profile.
It's a fine size for edc, but I definitely notice the size difference compared to other edc picks. I think the extra width plays a big role, more-so than height or thickness.
Z 40mm is decent for the price

Z 40mm is definitely fine for snapshitting your dog 5000 times but so is an x100vi which i can buy off amazon for the price of a zf alone and actually fits in a pocket
>>

I dont understand. This is a $2500 camera setup but it looks like micro four thirds? You could have used a 16mp panasonic and 20mm f1.7 and this would look the exact same.

it isnt even true except for one petapixel test or something where the camera was fine after drying out.

There are plenty of user reports of olympus and fuji weather sealing failing and breaking cameras but that didnt make a bunch of shills flood /p/ and shill panasonic now did it

Yup, it's a good edc lens, and an x100vi is a good edc camera option too, there are pros/cons to both.

Unironically, I bet I have more camera sales experience than anyone on the board. All I said though, was that Zf is kinda bulky in practice, and Z 40 is decent for the price. I take shitty photos, 100%, which is why I encourage others to post too, show me up instead of being a nophoto.

Jeez, guys, all I was saying was that it's not as monstrously huge a camera as people claim it to be. Anyway, I've just purchased one, so I guess I'll see just how unwieldy my stupid hipster camera is when it gets here. It's certainly not a pocketable camera, but I wouldn't consider the x100 series pocketable either. I wouldn't even put my little Nikon A in my pocket, unless it was a winter coat.
>>

Oh for sure, I don't need much, different cameras are fun though. Last I bought was the Zf, which is coming up on a year. Maybe one day you will take photos.
>>4360173
It's sick, enjoy.
>>
I also very much like and enjoy the Zf, but the only way to reasonably use Auto ISO is in manual mode, as far as I've found out, and I can't do a 1/3 of a Stop when turning the compensation dial. Or am I doing something wrong...
>>
>>4360173
I tried putting a Zf with a 28-75 lens mounted into one of the inner pockets on my everyday jacket. Not only could I get it in there, I could still close the zipper on the pocket completely. Same with a lens-less Z9. Z9 with a standard zoom on it could sorta be crammed in there, it wasn't going to fall out but I couldn't fully close the zipper and it'd be horribly uncomfortable to walk around like that.
Admittedly, those pockets are kinda ridiculous. But yeah, I'm not finding the Zf to be of bothersome size, if I'm not wearing something with pockets large enough for it (lens perhaps dismounted) then I won't have pockets large enough for anything more than my RX100. (And if that isn't the case for someone else, well, then that person should of course choose their camera according to what fits them.)
>>
>>4363622
>and I can't do a 1/3 of a Stop when turning the compensation dial. Or am I doing something wrong...
I just grabbed mine and it does 1/3 stop increments on the exposure compensation knob, and the exposure parameters it selects changed accordingly.
>>
I want a global shutter sensor with pixel shift in a Z9 body, is that too much to ask?
>>
>>4363682
You're right, it does. But does it also show a value on the compensation meter? If it does it doesn't make any sense. And then it shows nothing.

>But does it also show a value on the compensation meter?
Well, taking five minutes to play with the camera and see how it works (I only bought it last Saturday myself) this is what I found:
In M mode the exposure meter on the right is always shown. Turning the exposure compensation dial modifies the value shown there, you're basically dialling in the sight so you can aim at dead centre.
In the other modes there isn't much use for the exposure meter, on its own the camera will just try to keep things at 0 anyway. So it becomes an exposure compensation meter instead, hidden entirely to reduce clutter if the exposure comp is set to 0, and otherwise showing you the value for exposure compensation that you've selected. (This may not be massively important to have on screen if you use the knob for exposure comp, but remember that you can set the knob to C and use a command wheel for it instead.)
>>
>>4364201
Thanks for the experience. I was too stupid to give the compensation enough "room" to actually do something. I figured it out now

Its based on screen runtime with mirrorless because CIPA takes 1 shot every 30 seconds, preventing MILC sleep timers from taking effect. DSLRs dont run screens and sensor feeds so the test is biased towards SLRs.

Hascameras get the same battery life out of MILCs and DSLRs with sony unironically being the best
Nocamera gear queers think DSLRs have better battery life

Can we all agree this was the worst release since the ZFc? It just might bankrupt Nikon it was so bad.

anything over 20MP is unnecessary and worse for low-light also you're gay

in 20 years, $25 will be worth $0.25 due to inflation..

I much prefer my Z7ii. I just don't see the point in having less than 45MP.

What did the AF focus on the nut?
>1/125
You couldn't get a sharp shot with 6 MP much less 45 lmao what a joke
>>
>>4369826
The shutter speed is fine but the focus is off and its very noisy for iso 640 which means deep crop

Doing wildlife when you dont have the glass for wildlife is the same as shooting mft

Thinking of buying an z6 iii, I do on set Stills work for film and tv, but I always want to shoot portraits and street.

I'm coming from Fuji and Sony, did my research on Nikon and I wanted some opinions from people who have shot with it.

What's the workflow like compared to Sony and Fuji? It took a long time to edit my image to something usable with Sony, but I like some of the Fuji colours with flash, with mixed results during the day. It seemed like you needed to be shooting at the right light to get the colours you wanted.

Buy a Z6II with the internal mod if you don't plan on using its video specs too much, Z6III can only be justified if you shoot much more videos than photos... and pixel shift maybe.
What a dumb move to put shift in the Z6III but not the Z9, no fucking videofag will use that mode anyways.

What's the internal mod? I don't use video.
