r/nikon_Zseries

Not really a photographer, mostly a filmmaker, but I sometimes like going out and shooting stills.
Took these on my Z8 + 14-24mm f/2.8 S. It was pretty dark inside and I believe I was somewhere above ISO 1000, but I can’t remember the exact setting.
Pretty happy with how these turned out, so figured I’d share them here. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Many thanks to the entire community for all the Nikon tips. Thanks to you, I decided to move up from the Z50 and ordered a Z5 II with the Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S lens and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I couldn't decide between the Z6 III, Z5 II, Tamron 28-75 G2, Nikkor 28-75, Nikkor 24-120, etc. It’s not exactly an easy choice given the huge range of products - especially since it’s a significant investment and you don’t want to end up disappointed.

Here are a few snapshots from when I briefly tested the camera around the house. Sraight out of the camera, no editing.
Ps. I am just a hobby photographer.

You guys inspire people!

Simple post about the 40 Voigt e mount on the Nikon ZF. I personally like seeing adapted lens and how they look so I thought I would do for others who are curious.

While I know there is a perfectly good Z mount version of this particular lens, I am not the biggest fan of its aesthetic as it bulges a bit out to accommodate the larger mount (petty, I know).

Anyway, I like the curves on this variant; and lucky me, my sister owns it for her Sony and let me borrow it indefinitely as she has not used it much lately. This will give me plenty of time to see if it is my perfect combo both performance and looks wise.

Another noteworthy thing is it has the ability to declick the aperture ring for Video or preference which the Z mount version does not do

The adapter is the Megadap Pro and I had it because I also use the Sigma 35 f2 dg dn as my EDC autofocus lens for the ZF mostly for its metal body and nice aesthetic.

Side note: I also have the native 15 and 50 f1 voigts if anyone has any questions about those. 50 is amazing rendering wise, but it is a bit too chunky for an every day lens. I feel it needs the grip to balance it out, and I kind of hate grips on the zf.

The Nikkor Z 24-120 f4 lens is so sharp, the best walk-around lens ever and on the Z8, insane. The glow of the Tahoe sunset can be seen on the sailors. And the dude standing near CityLights Bookstore on the edge of Chinatown and North Beach was shot from across the street, and the soles of his old shoes are clear. Both images at 120mm, f13 on sailboat, f9 on dude

These are from a local museum I’ve visited a dozen times. My goal was to find angles and scenes I’ve never appreciated before, and then handle all post processing myself rather than rely on presets (particularly for color).

All shot with a z6iii, Nikon 35mm 1.8, and a CPL filter during or shortly after rain.

Olympus E-300: launched in 2004 (22 years ago 🫠) and with a peculiar design, it is still acclaimed today for the colors it produces. Some say it is because, inside it, there is a CCD sensor produced by Kodak, a specialist in film and color science. Is it? I don’t know.

What I do know is that it has been the camera I take everywhere. A few days ago I discovered YouTuber @jimmywestphoto (hello 👋) who said in one of his videos that “the best camera is the one that makes you forget you have it”. I happen to notice this with this one, despite its size and strange appearance. I think it’s super cool and those buttons and dials are super satisfactory.
