Portraits with Nikon Zf + Leica Summilux 35.4 11874

It’s really hard to find a place that isn’t crowded in Hong Kong on a Sunday.

When Nikon meets Leica — my first Nika

Nikon + Leica = Nika

The Zf just looks incredibly well matched with Summilux 35 1.4 11874

Does anyone else struggle with Nikon AF in rapidly changing light?

First two shots inside the church: perfectly locked on.

The moment the couple stepped into bright sunlight, the AF completely missed.

I've had this happen enough times now that I don't think it's just bad luck.

I genuinely love Nikon, but these sudden lighting transitions still seem to catch the AF off guard.

Shot on Z8 and 35 1.2S

When can we have N-log 2?

I am actually considering selling all my Nikon gear just for the ease of S-log 3.

I have a Z8 and a ZR, and I know NRAW and R3D NE are great, but data storage doesn't make sense to me anymore, given that the prices of SSDs and CFB cards have almost doubled within a year due to AI.

When can Nikon develop a 10bit 4:2:2 H265 with N-log 2 for videographers? Does anyone know if it's even on the roadmap?

Z8 finally awakened

Just switched my Z8 over to the 1.6TB ProGrade Iridium, and honestly… it feels like the camera got completely unlocked.

I was previously using a Dajingyu 4TB card. To be fair, it actually did a fantastic job over the last 2 years shooting around 1.4 million photos, so I can barely complain. But I didn’t realize how much it was bottlenecking the camera until now.

The difference is immediately noticeable:

  • startup and shutdown are insanely fast, and the camera is instantly ready to shoot after powering on
  • no more occasional freezes or card recognition issues
  • playback after huge shooting sessions is finally smooth, even after shooting 10k+ photos, in-camera browsing has basically zero lag

The biggest surprise is sustained performance. A lot of cards benchmark well for a few seconds, then slow down once the cache fills or temperatures rise. The Iridium just keeps going.

For the first time, my Z8 genuinely feels like the flagship Nikon intended it to be.
