    You used that backlighting in crazy ways! Very nice! How about the 135 f/1.8 to compare with the 85 f/1.2? I'm old school. In the 70's, the Nikon 85 f/1.8 and 105 f/2.5 ruled for portraits. I can't get used to the idea of 35's and 50's for portraits. But your video opened my eyes a bit!

    I have a question for you, when you record your monitor on the Nikon Z8 (in this video for instance) are you using the Ninja V? and if so are you recording in ProRes 422 or HQ? I've had some difficulty using the Ninja V to record my screen (Attempted to record in ProRes RAW but I don't think the z8 has a video output resolution higher than 1920..) so any help would be appreciated!!

    The 85mm 1.2 is a beast, I love the 85mm focal length
    I did opt for 50mm 1.2 since it can simulate a " 75mm 1.8" in crop mode
    Dang now I'm eyes the 85mm 1.2
    Could you test the sigma 35mm 1.2 e mount with z mount adapter?

    Professional photographer, videographer and lifelong Nikon shooter. I always used to say that Nikon shooters work harder but the results are worth it. Referring to the auto focus. I got good at manual fast because I got tired of missing shots with my D7500 and even with my D780. That all changed with the Z8. We finally get to have our cake and eat it too.

    Nikon all day, every day! And physics dictate what lenses can do and can not do, small lenses have become better but they can't reach the excellence of bigger lenses because of physics, maybe one day, but they are not there yet, and it is ok, smaller cameras or lenses doesn't equal better, this is for those who constantly complain about wanting everything to be smaller lol :)

      I go a little on the underexposed side and bring it back in post with shadows and exposure sliders. Not too much though as I don't want it to look HDR, a little bit of bright highlights are okay! I don't ever do multiple exposures with portraits because there are too many variables/moving parts (me, background, model) to be able to edit that in any efficient or even realistic looking way.

    @JuliaTrotti Wow. Those are both such amazing lenses...with an amazing review! I am so in love with the 85 1.2 (Sony...hurry up, we want one!) I wish that Nikon had a greater focus on weight in its bodies and lenses though. My body would definitely complain if I tried to shoot with them for too long.
    Where are the tiny little rainbows hiding? I looked for them in the bokeh, but I couldn't find them
    It would be really interesting to see how the Nikon, Sony, and Canon 50 1.2 and 85 1.2/1.4s compare with each other on roughly comparable bodies.
    Hope you are enjoying the Fall!

You can see the rainbow at 10:44 right above the word 85mm :D I probably desaturated it a little too much in my editing looking back on it haha. And yeah that would be a super interesting video comparing the 50mm f1.2 against brands! I've used all of them at separate shoots and can confirm they are all beautiful. But it would be nice to see them side by side too

      Do you have a timestamp to an example? If you are talking about what I think you are, this usually happens when there are lots and lots of layers creating bokeh in the location, so it'll kind of start merging together sometimes and reflecting textures into the bokeh

      The Nikon bodies support a "dirty HDMI output" ("dirty" means it keeps the settings/AF point overlays) and does not disable the built-in screens on the camera when also outputting via the HDMI port to an external video recorder (such as an Atamos). Canon & Sony disable the built-in screens on the camera when outputting via HDMI.

      In the 5.5 years since the Z lenses were first released, they've been filling out the options gradually. They went with the f/1.8 and f/1.2 pairing. Now, it seems that they will either start producing the f/1.4 lenses or license those to Tamron/Sigma. The agreement with those third-party companies is to avoid direct competition.

      -Nikon makes f1.8 primes because they can be made a lot smaller physically than f1.4, so it's suits the narrative of one of the benefits of going mirrorless over DSLR is being more physically compact & lighter weight, while maintaining (or in most cases, improving) image quality.
      -Nikon makes f1.2 primes because it suits the narrative of the Z mount being larger & having a shallower flange distance compared to f-mount, which enables them to make very large aperture lenses while maintaining hightimage quality.
      -Having f1.2 lenses helps justify those with top of the line f-mount f1.4 lenses upgrade to f1.2 Z prime lenses.
      -Since there are very good reasons for Nikon to have an excellent lineup of f1.2 and f1.8 lenses, it's hard to justify the $ into also creating a f1.4 lineup of primes, especially for a company like Nikon being much more financially constrained than Canon or Sony.

      Some of the Z-mount f/1.8 primes are as good as, or better than, the F-mount f/1.4 lenses.

      @@UnconventionalReasoning I agree. For people who actually look at comparison tests, a Z 1.8 will be upgrade over an f mount 1.4 for most people, in most shooting conditions.
      But I would say "a lot" (possibly "most") photographers wouldn't actually look into these test results/images, and assume a Z 1.8 is a downgrade over f mount 1.4, hence why from a marketing perspective, it makes sense for Nikon to have Z 1.2 lenses available to tempt "those people" to upgrade

    I think the "misstep" with the Z 50/1.2 S was Nikon trying to pack alot into it...mainly that LED DISPLAY 🙃 that obviously contributes to the size + weight (+ price) of that lens & as weve seen, Nikon has done away with it on it's newer lenses since then.
    I dont like the 50mm look, so it's nothing to me, but I think Nikon should relaunch the lens WITHOUT the display in a "version/mark 2".
    I dream of owning that Z 85/1.2 S & the Z 135 Plena...& whenever they wanna drop the Z 35/1.2 S...perhaps a few more weddings & Ill be able to add one or 2 to my kit 😅🤞🏽

      Yes I agree, while it may look nice it’s also not super helpful anyway. I will rarely look at my lens to see whatever settings I have that little display set to. I will always look for that info on my camera!

      You can use a reflector if you are taking photos of someone with darker eyes and you want that catchlight. I personally like the way it looks without! For me these photos are more about the atmosphere created rather than just the portrait.
