Agreed! I think image is sharp enough. A few things that I think may help: 1. The cave requires a really large DOF which is not possible given the lighting. 2. The edge of the frame is always going ...

You are right about the teleconverter part. However, 50mm f1.8 on an APS-C camera is equivalent to a 75mm f2.8 on a Full Frame camera in terms of total amount of light collected and the Depth of ...

As everyone have suggested, you already have an excellent camera body (Z6) and there is no point to get a new Z50 as the Z50 will not give you any new features except a smaller size. 50 1.8 S on ...

Just curious, are there legal implications for third party companies to reverse engineer Z mount and release Z compatible lenses without the permission from Nikon? This does not seem to apply to F ...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and taking time to post the aperture blades of your copy! I double checked with my own 35 1.8 S at multiple aperture stops with the camera turned on and ...

I actually don't know what they are thinking. As the comments have pointed out, this size is exactly APS-C - can't imagine how that's going to fit into a smartphone especially if you want quality...

Thanks for your post Ken! That was really helpful. So it seems the degree of aperture blade asymmetry on your Nikon Z 35 1.8 S is similar to mine. That was not expected and makes the question of ...

Hi there, So I just bought a Nikon Z 35 1.8 S this Black Friday. While the optical performance of the lens is amazing, I noticed the aperture blades on this lens are highly asymmetrical. It's very ...

The deciding factor here should be if you want to do serious video or not. If you really want the ability to shoot 4K 422 10bit, go for Canon R6. Nikon Z6 can only record 4K 422 10bit with an ...

Photography Life had a series of excellent reviews for Nikon lenses and backed them up with lab data. To establish a comparison, see the two following links: https://photographylife.com/reviews/nik ...

It's quite counter-intuitive. This post summarized it pretty well.

Electronic Shutter and mechanical shutter at speeds faster than the max flash sync speed are rolling shutter. Therefore they will both suffer from rolling shutter artifacts if moving objects are ...

EFCS assumes the front curtain of the sensor is already open (i.e. live view). Tt starts an exposure electronically on sensor and closes the exposure through the mechanical rear curtain. Therefore ...

Yes. Thanks for the reminder!

Use EFCS on Z6 if you 1. use a tripod and care about shutter shock AND 2. have no issue with some slight compromises on bokeh AND 3. use a shutter speed slower than 1/1000. Use Electronic Shutter ...

Hi there, I was planning to upgrade from my Nikon DSLR this fall and was weighting between Sony, Nikon, and Canon. Since my old system is a dated APS-C so I did not worry about existing lenses. I ...

Same here. I *might* do a bit of video in the future so if the Z6 II has internal 10bit 422 video I would be happy to pay $400 more considering the cheapest camera that has it (Lumix S5) is way ...

For me the the most important factor would be IBIS. Jim Kasson wrote some excellent articles about it, see https://blog.kasson.com/a7riv/sony-a7riv-ibis-with-the-35-mm-f-1-4-zony/ and https://blog. ...

A lot of great points here. As a researcher working on ToF related computer vision problems, I would say ToF is far from perfect and reliable due to following reasons: 1. Dark objects, surfaces ...

I would say avoid it. The D600 had some serious issues with shutter dust that ended up with a class action lawsuit, so I won't consider a used one with a high shutter count. However, D610 and D750 ...
