I spat out my drink with the line, "I could fight a war with this."

Excellent video man, never thought to use my 50mm for landscapes but will definitely try it out. On a separate note, what's the music in the background that comes in at around 5:08? Was looking for that track for ages :D

Why do camera companies keep making cameras that have issues with and charges a lot of money. Great video ❤❤❤

Amazing review comparison. I'm a Nikon user. However Nikons lens selection is pathetic. I held a Sony A7R1 in my hand years ago and thought it felt horrible. Nikons feel so good in your hand all day long. However Sony technology is so far ahead now, its time to switch. Ibeas only worried about DR and this video proves even 61 MP sensors can have great DR. Not too worried about color science as i only shoot raw and edit. Thanks again for the great review comparison.

Which is best for video fx3 or z8?

That was useful - thanks.

I have this lens and like it so far. Mainly for good light. You are not the only person to mention the VC as a weakness. I was wondering if it conflicts with Sonys in body IBIS? Have you tried just using the Sony IBIS without the lens VC? Or the lens VC with no Camera Body IBIS?

Video espectacular, gracias por la sinceridad. Actualmente tengo una Sony A7III con un 24-105 f4 y 15-35 f4 y quería actualizar. Para fotografia de paisaje y algo de foto social, y reconozco que tambien me gusta mucho jugar con poca luz en la naturaleza y foto urbana y llevar la camara al limite en este aspecto. Tengo el dilema entre la Sony A7RV , Nikon Z7II y la Z8. Me encanta el 24-120 z de Nikon y el Nikon 24-200 para llevar de trekking. Todas estas camaras tienen pros y contras. Te atreverias sinceramente a aconsejar un ganador que equilibre los pros?. Muchas gracias.

The A7R5 stands out as my top choice for several reasons. Its exceptional image quality ensures sharp, vibrant photos with outstanding detail, making it suitable for everything from professional shoots to personal projects. Beyond the camera itself, the variety of lenses available is unmatched. Sony offers an extensive range of native lenses, but the real advantage comes from the availability of third-party options, giving photographers access to even more choices. This means that regardless of your specific needs-whether you're into landscapes, portraits, wildlife, or videography-you’ll find lenses tailored to your style. Another key benefit is the flexibility in price. Both Sony and third-party manufacturers provide lenses at various price points, making it easier to build a versatile kit without breaking the bank. Let's face it: not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on high-end equipment, and the A7R5 ecosystem acknowledges that by catering to photographers of all levels and budgets. Whether you’re a beginner looking to upgrade or a seasoned pro seeking specialized lenses, the A7R5 offers options to suit your needs and financial situation.

Your intro is tooooo looong. I stopped watching. Sorry

I think that is should of had 2 cf express card slots not a sd slot as this will slow your workflow when using it as an overflow as there speeds are slow

Megapixels… way overrated… ever wonder why Canon hasn’t really exceeded 50MP with full frame cameras? Diffraction. Doesn’t matter how sharp your lens is, or how much resolution it throws down, you can’t escape physics. The more you stop down to get a deeper depth of field, the more diffraction eats your fine detail. The more you open the aperture up to get less diffraction, the less is actually in focus. 45-60MP on a full frame camera is about the sweet spot. More than that and diffraction is already in full effect by f/8. I don’t know about you, but I shoot at f/8 to f/16 all the time. More resolution is not helpful.

Great video! I’m thinking about picking this kit up for shooting mountain sports. So, I have similar landscape requirements but with the added challenge of high speed action. Currently, I am using an A7C with a Tamron 28-200. However, I’m thinking about swapping out for an A9i and these two lenses to get up 20 FPS and 20mm focal length. Do you think this two lens kit with the A9 is light enough for backcountry mountain sports and fast enough at f4 to make it a good set up for capturing backcountry skiing and mountain biking? *the A9 is limited to 15 FPS with third party lenses.

Nice video. How would you compare this to the Sony 70-200mm F4 macro and 1.4 teleconverter combo? From what I can tell Sony better without the converter and better IS?

Kemper, really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I can't tell you the number of times I've watch different sections of it over and over as I continue to learn and grow in my photography journey. I had a quick question for you - do you need the long lens head to get the L mount to attach to the tripod or will the L mount attach to the tripod without it? I noticed that the long lens head is a bit on the pricier side. Trying to prioritize what all I can buy and was wondering if the lens head can be a later purchase

And with the advent of some pretty amazing AI upscaling software, you can take a lower megapixel image that’s already good to begin with, and make it that much larger, especially if you hit the focus accurately for the shot.

Great voice/eye contact! 2 Questions; What is pixel peeping? Can anyone really see a pixel? And, What is a panorama photo?...is it a setting on the camera? or a video of and landscape?

My "vibration reduction mode" is off. It won't allow me to change it due to current settings. I'm following your recommendations.

Welcome back and amazing video as always!

It looks really good, I'm waiting for this to hopefully come to Nikon Z soon. Always thought a 70-300 was underrated for landscapes, a 50-300 is even better.

8:44 truly beauty!

Hi Kemper, Thank you for your very informative video. I just received my Z8 and I am impressed by it. Can you tell me what Anker / powerbank and what smallrig batterycharger you have Regards Marcel

I've seen many (shill) reviews of this lens, since I was considering switching from my Sigma 100-400, mainly due to its size and weight, plus the half-macro adds a lot of versatility. Most of the in-depth reviews point out that at 50mm the edges are rather soft, however on your pictures, they are fine - I think this has to do with the longer distance (test charts vs mountain) and the non planar subject of yours. What I appreciate about your review though (which is quite unique sadly) is that you make it obvious that this level of stabilization doesn't make much sense. It barely exists for photo, and it is unacceptable for video (in my opinion).

I do agree with not needing the memory 1, 2, 3 setting.

Some good information, but so long… I got about half way before I couldn’t concentrate any longer

Hey Kemper, awesome recommendation on pairing the two F4 lenses together for landscape photography! I have an interest in panoramas but have noticed you shoot without rotating along the nodal point, is there a post production workflow that corrects for that?

Thanks for your real-world comparison of the differences that matter - field usage and image quality (at least the on-screen images). Decisions - decisions. I have to admit that my experience and reflexes with Nikon menus and buttons will be the tie-breaker. It's nice to not re-think everything when trying to capture a fleeting scene.

hi, can you use my 24-70mm gm ii for landscape or should i buy another lens?

I wanted to write a whole story, but lets reduce it to 1 question. Does Sony have the "red screen" setup for star shooting like the Nikon has? In the end it's a tool and you need to love using it.

whats happening to the channel ? why the change in name ?

Tamron is going wild with these lenses. 28-200 2.8-5.6 28-300 4-7.1 50-300 4.5-6.3 50-400 4.5-6.3 I’m assuming the largest and most expensive 50-400 is also the sharpest with the best build quality.

since this video went back to z9 and allso hasselblad but am waiting for nikon to do i high mega pixel camera

Awesome dedication at the end. I climbed Missouri on 06-26-97 solo while there was still a lot of frozen snow on that approach route. It was a lot of fun, and I was equipped with my ice ax, so the steepness took a bit of time but was successful in summiting, but I always packed prepared for most anything. I did descend down around the S/W side which still had snow on it with no distinct trail. By that time the sun had hit the snow, and it was to say the least tough going and a long haul due to falling through the snow up to my waist with each step much of the time all the way around to the saddle between Missouri and Belford. Missouri was my 11th 14er of the 34 that I did eventually climb a total of 13 for 1997.

Hi, for landscape, nature and general photography, what would you recommend between Canon RF 70-200 2.8 or RF 100-500? I don’t mind the focal differences.

I think this is the first video of yours that ive seen. I love your approach and demeanor. Im subscribing and cant wait to see more.

Great shots and edits. Whats the music?

I can't agree that the A7RV EVF is any better than the z8 regardless of the MP.

I had the Nikon Z8/9 - brilliant all-round, wildlife and sports cameras. But in the end they were too big and too heavy for me and it's a shame that the form factor of the Z7II wasn't retained in the Z8. I miss the Z 4/24-120mm. Instead, Sony has the 4/20-70mm and the new 4/70-200mm, lenses that Nikon lacks.

Just a fun fact. When the Nikon D3s came out in 2009, the new price in todays money was $7,320.70 😊 If a Nikon Z9 could go back in time to 2009 prices it would retail for $3,755.72

What’s with the megapixel obsession? I’ve seen photographers take stunning photos on 2 mp

Holy Moly, this is a guide!!!! Thanks for this work!!!! It is very helpful!

Thanks a lot for the informatio n. What about uding the NOCT 58 /0.9 FOR PRTRAIT ?

Kukos for hiking into this remote location with all this gear. This video demonstrates a most significant benefit of the Sony A7R5 versus the Nikon Z8 - size and weight. As a mountaineer, there is simply no justification to cart an extra ounce into the backcountry - let alone the 1/2 lb. weight difference and bulk between the two bodies. Also, generally, lens choices for Sony are a bit lighter too. All other differences are trivial in comparison. ps-the A7R5 plus the Tamron 28-200 are the awesome, backcountry combo.

Dude, SHHHHHHHHHSH

Went up there back in the 90s. My buddy learned a valuable lesson on packing light. Full on calf cramps about 2/3rds of the way up with an 80 lb pack, and about 50 lbs of it he didn’t need. Beautiful area and a great memory for me

Great video. Some truly beautiful shots presented. The beauty of the Sony f1.2 is the consistent sharpness at landscape suitable apertures.

Is it true that the ISO is maxed out at 3200 on the A7RV? Kind of a deal breaker for one that loves low light photography. Thanks for sharing!

"One is more of an emotional choice..." Most of them seem to fall into that category.

Wanted to ask a follow up question. For each manufacturer like Sony, Canon, and Nikon could you possible pick the lenses for a good landscape kit? For instance do you favor mostly zooms for flexibility, f/4 for smaller lighter? I.e For Sony would it be the f/4 or f/2.8 holy trinity like the 16-35/2.8 GM II, 24-70/2.8 GM II, 70-200/2.8 GM II, and 100-400 GM or the f/4 equivalents for example? I have lots of primes but see very few landscape photographers using them on a regular basis, you only had two (that I do own) on your list. I have typically built my kits for events and portraits but I want to focus on landscapes. Take care.

Nice video and tribute to your granddad. And great shots with that Leica, the landscapes your brother took had that “Leica glow”. Keep putting it to good use! I had several film and digital Leicas. Outstanding cameras, and the lenses are world class. I have a Digilux 3 with a Summilux 25mm (50mm equiv) and its image quality is incredible for an 17-18 yo camera. People say the “PanaLeicas” are just rebranded Panasonics but it’s not completely true. The color science tech in Leica cameras is all Leica, not Panasonic. The “PanaLeica” lenses are built in Japan to Leica specs and QC and are branded Leica lenses.
