Hands On with the New NIKON Z 50ii | The Best Nikon Vlogging Camera?
It's here! Nikon just announced their Z 50ii and here's my hands on impressions of the new camera aimed at vlogging, live-streamers and content creators.
As with these sneak preview videos, this is a pre-production unit of the Nikon Z50ii and the final product might have some differences. I only have a couple of hours to shoot this so this video is not a full review, but rather a quick look at the new features of the Nikon Z50ii.
Peep into my blog for more images with the NIKON Z50ii:

I had a chance to preview of a pre-production copy of the new and unreleased Nikkor Z 50mm F1.4 lens. Chaperoned by a Nikon staff and only having a very short time to review the Nikon Z 50mm F1.4, I give Nikon’s latest 50mm prime lens a spin. I also managed to squeeze in some time to do a quick comparison with the other Z mount lenses, the 50mm F1.2 S, 50mm F1.8 S as well as the 50mm F2.8 macro...

The Nikon 35mm F1.4 Z lens is here, and it's an interesting lens for Nikon since it's being priced as the budget lens despite its 1.4 large aperture. In this video, I do a review of this lens and also run a comparison with the other 35mm prime options, the Nikkor 35mm F1.8 S lens and the Sigma F mount 35mm F1.4 Art lens.Which lens would you choose as the best 35mm prime for Nikon Z cameras?

    I have had the 35mm F1.8 for several years but was never greatly inspired to use it much. It's not quite as sharp as the 50mm F1.8. The IQ is fine, but just fine. I have the 35mm F1.4 and I am very inspired to pick it up everyday. The flaws that you highlight make the pictures interesting to me. First, the lens is sharp, but less than the 35mm F1.8. However, I see it like comparing a photo of a face to an artist pencil drawing or painting of the face, which is not as sharp as the photo, but doesn't need to be. The painting moves me more than the photo. The purple fringing is easily removed by one click in post. The lens has a slight amount of lens flare, which is good. The 1.4 aperture lowers my iso 50-60% wide open and that's good with the Z8 for lower noise. It also has one thing reminiscent to my old 50mm F1.2 ais and that's a slight glow wide open that adds pop to my low light pictures. I like the bokeh wide open. I love this lens.

    it they were the same price, which one would you choose: 1.4 or 1.8 ? I really don't know if the 1.8 s is that much better in fringing and sharpness that i should give up that 1.4 aperture.

    • @ZacharyLaiPhotography
      @ZacharyLaiPhotography 2 месяца назад

      I would go for the 1.8 S. Better weather sealing, slight increase in sharpness beats the 1.4 wide aperture which is seldom used at 1.4 anyway

  • @prometheuslg
    @prometheuslg 2 месяца назад

    I can confirm the shortcomings of the 35 1.4 z lens compared to the Sigma. It is not as sharp. the fringing is clearly there, but it also exists in the sigma. However, the Nikon is not that far off (it is sharper than most lenses) and has a very unique character, especially for portraits. With the added weight of the ftz adapter, the sigma is twice the weight. It is heavier than the nikon Z7II. I ended up trading the Sigma and bought the Nikon. I don't really regret it as I have no more hesitation when it comes to carrying the camera and a few lenses, even if the sigma was my most used lens for a very long time.

    • @ZacharyLaiPhotography
      @ZacharyLaiPhotography 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for sharing an alternative point of view of someone who has also used the sigma 👍🏼 One thing I didn’t mention in the video is that I actually took this new lens out for a paid shoot, and was less than satisfied. The lack of sharpness really shows when compounded with high iso situations. It may look fine in ideal scenarios, but not so in challenging situations.

    • @ZacharyLaiPhotography
      @ZacharyLaiPhotography 2 месяца назад

      To be frank I'm not sure about the purpose of the LS-223c range. Either you get a mini tripod like the MT-04, light, compact, agile, can be used to hang on uneven surfaces like a railing, or you get a full size tripod. The LS-223c is not as compact, not as agile as a mini tripod, and not as tall as a full size tripod. It probably fulfils a very specific niche but I'd struggle to find a use-case for it in my line of work.
