Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

Good question! I had to think about this just a bit, but I would still recommend even on a non-calibrated monitor. My thought being, at least I know my files are always starting from the same point white balance wise. So as you learn how your monitor displays thing you'll sort of work from known starting point as opposed to AWB coming into play. I do most of my editing on a MacBook Pro display - not calibrated, but usually known to be pretty good. I also edit occasionally on an Asus ProArt display, also not calibrated. I will say - I have edited on a TV display before and found it challenging, but I didn't take a lot of time to play with its settings. Hope this helps!

I like having the Dark CPL and at least some normal ND filter option, but it seems I approach it from a different angle and usually am looking for a polarization effect. So there are times I want a polarization effect without the full ND effect (i.e. if photographing water in shady areas or certain scenes with lots of foliage where the ND effect might make the water too smooth for my taste). But if you have less concern about the polarization and more about the ND effect, then you might be just fine - I could certainly see a case for trying to get by with just the Dark CPLs. Worse case, you add an ND later. Hope that helps!

@ that helps thanks for your time! In your example couldn’t you just use the included LPL in the DARK Cpl set to get the polarization without the ND effect.

@@CashflowsClub Oh! Definitely! I missed the word 'set' in the initial comment and read it as just getting the Dark CPL filters, not getting the Dark CPL set that has the LPL included. That definitely works in my case, I could just use the LPL when I don't want/need the longer exposure the ND would provide.

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography Awesome! Great channel, Ive came across your videos searching Shimoda and Maven. Keep up the amazing work.

@@CashflowsClub Glad the videos have been helpful! You really can't go wrong with Maven and Shimoda - super happy with both brands and still use them today for my photography!

I think 5500 is right there in the ballpark, and like you said - with the extra 50 that LR likes to add for some reason - right there in the middle! I think I tend towards warmer images typically, so that's probably why i gravitate a bit towards 5600k. Yep - not having WB shift around during brackets and panos is nice! Glad it has been working out for you!

Thank you! I think enjoying getting out in nature is at the heart of it all! If you can do that, it doesn't matter how the photography end of things go, the trip was still worth it! Thanks for watching!

If you have the large insert, I think what you are doing is a good move - so nice to be able to fit the camera with lens attached into the bag. Especially in the sand dunes if there is any breeze or wind blowing sand around. I am pretty trusting of my Z7II, but minimizing lens swaps in the dunes is smart. Have a great trip - feel free to let me know if you have any questions (you can email me via the contact form on my website)!

Corners can be challenging. I think the 24-200mm strong point is versatility, Nikon definitely has some glass with better IQ. With all that said, I still like my 24-200mm!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful!

@ It was one of the best I’ve seen, and generally when you go out shooting, you would put on your polarizer first and then your in the filter, correct ???

I generally will put the CPL on first, adjust as needed for the right polarization effect and then put an ND on if I am going to use one. Hope that helps!

@ THANK U KINDLY … soooo appreciative

Such a great lens! The min. focus distance is one of the reasons I made the leap from a Sigma 100-400 to the Nikon!

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

Thanks Jon! And some great advice you've added as well! I definitely enjoy my local photography club. And seeking feedback is an excellent one as well - I should do something on that topic alone! Exploring new places and things is also something the camera has done for me! I even have a talk I sometimes do about how the camera is a key to unlocking experiences! Thanks for watching!

Ha! Deeper than a Minuteman missile silo! Love it! It is so easy to fall into the trap of gear acquisition... (as I sit surrounded by camera, video, audio, and computer gear...)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it - I think those three things will help a person have a long and enjoyable hobby with landscape photography (or photography in general, for that matter!).

You're welcome! Hope it helped!

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the recording!

Thank you!

Waterfalls are some of my favorites!

From Panasonic's website: "LUMIX G85 4K Digital Camera delivers impressive performance, with a 16MP sensor performance in a compact camera..." (shop.panasonic.com/products/gx85-mirrorless-camera-12-32mm-45-150mm-lenses)

The Nikon 100-400 definitely hits the heavy and expensive categories! My first attempt at using a 100-400 lens was with the Sigma 100-400 f-mount that I used the FTZ adapter with. While it was still heavy, it was inexpensive! Once I started carrying it more that's when I wanted to get to the native Z mount (plus an option for a tele-converter should I go that direction). I am very curious about the Tamron Z 50-400mm. I've been on the fence about picking it up just to try it, I might do a longer rental of it first here in a few weeks just so I have some hands on with it. It seems like high potential to hit that super zoom category. I have several f-mount Tamron lenses that I am still very happy with for portrait and event work - so I know Tamron can make some really great glass. I wouldn't be able to comment on a comparison to the 80-400mm though, I haven't used that lens. (Off to see if my local shop rents a Tamron 50-400mm) Thanks for watching!

Fair enough! 😉

Not sure which section of the video you are referring to?

There is definitely a weight factor with either the Nikon 100-400 or the Sigma 100-400 I used to use. While the focal length was growing on me, there were many times I was like "nah, not taking it today, too heavy." I have the 28-400mm, I did a video on it a bit back: ruclips.net/video/sd3yA1wYZlQ/видео.html I agree with your drawbacks for the most part, but still a pretty decent lens I thought. It grew on me a bit more when I took it to Arizona a few months ago paired with the 14-30mm. On that trip I didn't have a lot of time for photos, but knew I'd get one good chance out - so I wanted a light, but versatile setup. I was happy with the photos I got with it.

The Tamron 50-400mm is a promising option - I am sort of curious to try it out, just to see how it does. It definitely opens up the option of just going with two lenses (and I do like my 14-30mm, great lens!). Cedar Falls is my favorite in the park! Always a good time visiting Hocking Hills!

Oh - I have that lens! I have a couple of videos on it: ruclips.net/video/sd3yA1wYZlQ/видео.html And ruclips.net/video/Q7--oNeWSak/видео.html I used in Arizona back in June as well. I actually had good luck with it in Arizona, I think I finally got a good for for it on that trip. For landscapes it is pretty cool option (The image quality of the 100-400 is better, but the 28-400 is totally passable and makes up for it in versatility).

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotographydo you prefer it over 100-400?

@@mrz1342 I prefer the 100-400mm for most occasions. The 28-400mm is handy due to its versatility in one lens. So if I am going on a trip where photography is not the main activity the 28-400mm can be handy. But if I could only have one, I'd lean 100-400.

It is so hard to beat a 70-200 f/2.8 for anything portrait related! Such a great lens for that. I still have a 70-200 2.8 that I use for portraits and events - won't leave home without that one for those types of photography! The biggest thing that keeps me from using it much for landscapes is the weight of a 2.8 and I start to feel like I am losing too much focal length on the long side versus the 100-400. (And two years ago I never thought I'd be here saying that!) Thanks for watching!

The 24-200mm is a great lens. I used it for a good chunk of time as amy mid to telephoto lens. Hard to beat its versatility!

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography I may have to look for a used one. Will be in New Mexico next spring and 200mm may not be enough. I do have the old Tamron f mount dx 18-400, but it is heavy and I would rather have the full frame RAW.

@@russellyeley2561 You may also want to look at the 50-400mm lens Tamron released in the super zoom category. I have not had a chance to try it, but it could be another viable option as well. It is native Z mount and I've always had good luck with the Tamron lenses I've owned. Enjoy New Mexico!

Such a great lens! I too am a fan of the 24-120 as well! I've actually used it as a "one lens" for a trip before when I was aiming for broad versatility. I also love the two camera approach to things. It can make like so easy for fast changes - either from landscape to wildlife on the same trip or minimizing lens swaps in bad weather! I won't tell if you choose a favorite! Thanks for watching!

Ha! Thanks for the comment! 😀

Thanks for watching - hopefully you can make it to one!

Yes - I've moved to more in support of a sensor shield than the shutter being closed during lens changes. In the meantime I've just gotten good at cleaning the sensor - and really, an air blower and one of those static brushes takes care of most cleaning situations. I didn't know the R5 had a warning! That is interesting to know!

I think YT is still processing the video in the background causing some hiccups with the recorded version. I'm hoping it straightens itself out!. I hope!

I've seen it - but haven't used it. They essentially found the in-between of the S4 and L4, but using 5 leg sections instead of 4. So that lets them get a little taller when extended and just a touch smaller when folded up. Because of the extra leg extension, the load capacity goes down a bit - but not enough to make a big difference for DSLR/Mirrorless. I am sure it is of the same quality as their other products - so should be good on that front. I think the big question is 5 leg extensions a downside for you or not. Hope that helps!

I usually only have photo settings saved (I tend to record video on a different camera), but I just did a quick test using shutter speed and things seemed to work okay. For example, in photo mode I set my shutter speed to 1/400 and then switched video and set a shutter speed of 1/800 (yes - I know - unrealistic). I saved those to U3. Then I switched back to photo mode and my shutter speed went back to 1/400. Back to video and I was at 1/800. Then I changed the shutter speed faster in photo mode, switched to video, slowed the shutter down to 1/60. Then switched back and forth between photo and video and the settings stayed at what I set them. Then I turned the camera off and back on, and confirmed my U3 settings went back to the defaults I had set - 1/400 in photo mode, 1/800 in photo mode. Not sure why it isn't working for your settings. Wish I could be of more help!

@JeffreyTadlockPhotography Thankyou. Yes its working now.

I think that is a super solid setup. I use my Z7II for landscape primarily, my Z6II comes with me as a backup camera body or to let me use a second camera at sunset/sunrise. For any event (including running races) or portrait work I still do, I tend to grab the Z6II first and the Z7II acts as the backup body in those cases.

I would choose the FLM - they are just built so well. My CP30-S4 has seen regular use for 2+ years now and performs just like new. Great tripod.

Glad the info helped! And thanks for the tip! I try to remember to mention the scroll up trick to get to certain things faster - I must have forgotten in this case! Thanks!

I like the Large DSLR core unit in the X50, it is the one I use most often in the X50 v2. (I do tend to use the medium core unit in my Explore 35L). The large unit is handy if you are carrying a lot of lenses as you can typically find a spot for each of them. It will also let you configure it to carry the camera body with something like a 100-400mm without having to take the lens off. I like the DSLR core units instead of the Mirrorless because the DSLR one is a little taller, which means you can often put your lens in there vertically instead of horizontally maximizing efficient use of space. For example, I can put my 14-30 and 24-120 in vertically, as the core unit is tall enough. Shimoda has an option that comes with a kit - i.e. bag and core unit, but it is the medium core unit. If you want the bag and the large core unit, probably best to order the bag only option and then get the large core unit as well. Hope that helps!

@@JeffreyTadlockPhotography thank you! It does help

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

I am definitely a big fan of FLM gear. I just checked, I've had my CP30-S4 for just under 3 years now and it is still as good as new, despite me flying with it, regularly using it in rain, snow, southwestern desert landscapes and more. Everything functions just as it should. The rubber grips on things seem nice at first on tripods or heads that have them, but they always wear or lose their adhesive after being out in adverse conditions often enough. That has led me to prefer the metal knobs and twist locks for their long term durability. Thanks for watching!

I agree! I wasn't sure how I'd like a lever, but super handy. It worked great with my lighter weight gloves I wore on some chilly mornings as well, which is handy. Should work fine with heavier gloves to. The ball head seems super solid, I'm enjoying using it.

I have this ball head, you can pull and re-position the lever if it’s in the way.

I did not ever have trouble with the lever getting in the way in the orientation I had it in the video. And you can pull the lever out a bit and reposition it should it ever be an issue (which is a very cool feature, I somehow missed when I was using it). I've just had so many knobs or twist locks with rubber on them start to fail after being out in the weather, I've come to prefer the metal versions of those for long term use.

Ha! Okay. 🙃

That lever should be great for bulkier gloves in the winter! Can't wait. And I just tried that lever adjustment (pulling it out and changing its angle and position), that is awesome! If I'd found that feature during my use - I 100% would have mentioned that - very nice! Great to hear on the warranty as well - looking forward to using this one more - thanks again!

Looks like a nice lens setup! 2.8 definitely has its value if you shoot weddings and action as well. I have a 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200mm f/2.8 that see heavy use if I am photographing action or an event (I don't do much of either anymore, but no plans to get rid of them - because they are so handy!) Thanks for the comment!

Glad the video was helpful!

It would be nice to have one - I'm getting good at cleaning the sensor! It really isn't too bad just keeping up with a rocket blower and static brush, minimizes the number of wet cleanings. D800 is a great camera, nothing wrong with sticking with it!

I've not used a head like the G1276, I'm not sure what would be a good, comparable head like that. Wish I could have been more help!
