I saw a video showing that you could set up a list of 20 (compared to 10 on DSLRs) AIS lenses, to give the camera focal length and correct aperture data. Handy for stabilization and EXIF data.
 

Boom ?

I forgot to add ‘no breathing’ to the growing list I’m compiling of Nikon’s advantages over Sony so I can be miserable and sulk all day long.

Haha, man that a7iii is probably the most fool proof ff budget go out and get stuff done hybrid camera out there. Only time will tell if the zmount can succeed...

Yes, FTZ works with everything Nikon currently makes except a couple manual ais lenses that are still in production.

auto indexing should also work with FTZ no?

?

105/125dc, yeah like I said there is a fair amount of awesome glass that is all manual now with z6/7. BUT, for Nikon shooter focusing was manual up to this point anyways, for video. It is a bummer but Af-D glass is from the 90s and early 00s so it is kind of ok to slowly move on...

Well there is a shit load of pretty awesome and cheap Nikon glass around, if you don't want the cream of the crop. Holy trinity three generations ago, should work you can get them for 500 each ish. Then the latest afs 1.8 series 20, 24, 28, 35can be had for roughly 500 each, not bargaining here for +-100 bucks here. Afs 50 1.8 can be had for under 200,  85 maybe 300. Let's suggest we can pull you over to the dark side here. You would be pretty well setup with a grand worth of used glass ?

Nikon is making still quite a few manual lenses, obviously these will only meter but not af. Then they still make some screwdriver lenses they become manual. All current AF-S lenses meaning anything that came out in the last 19 years or so is (no idea when they introduced af-s) going to work  pretty flawless FROM WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE on my computer ?. Time and tests will tell....I have heard or read that there is about 2 or 300 lenses that work.

Hey, like I said. I am doing fashion stuff. Here are a gazillion people out there doing the same BUT, are they the best bag designers in town? Have the best skilled production? What's your expertise? How does it mirror in the real world?

If we make a prototype and I would put it on my table (or insta yt respectively) no one notices, no one cares. You got to be that bag guy, In your fricking village. If someone thinks about picking up a camera or writing or what ever, he knows he needs to call you because you are the dude in town. "Yeah sure I can help!"

If you have no skill no knowledge why would anyone want to see or talk to you?

Not joking here. Show us your reel, boom!!! Maybe you would have 5 more fans, off you go....Not sure who it was, maybe @Oliver Daniel posted some work two weeks ago, it just shows he is fucking serious about what he is doing. 

If i show my product to industry people they see it is made with skill passion and knowledge. Don't waste people's time....I know a couple ad's and account managers in advertising here. If a young guy come up to me and says "hey do you know anyone who could..". I can put you in front of the right people but it is your stuff knowledge skill agreeableness  that wins them over. And don't tell them that you are not into advertising. Because why would you care for an audience if it is not for the money for to make more movies or to buy a yacht. (Unless u r lunatic)

Intern with the kings here on the forum. Visit @mercer help him with his shoot?..... Good luck.

p.s. It is not about mailing lists it is about people respecting you for what you do and having a good time doing it....oh gosh sorry.

Haha, instA is the answer. It is also broken now but fuck email. I know we're you getting at, but it has to be mind blowing content for someone sharing or subscribing to you.

i have a fashion brand, it is the same struggle. First your content/product has to be ace/standout/crazy/cats. If that is not the case then why are you doing it? Like everybody is saying, get your shit out there and make it count. E.g. If I walk into a shop with my bag people say "wow nice bag, what is this" this is because I know what shop it is what other stuff they sell etc. get your audience right and they will hopefully get what you are up to. if they don't change product or audience. AND then, hustle man HUSTLE!!!! 

Adding to that, look at @eoshd yt channel roughly about 156 followers I think (sorry if it is 156k). He is starting also on a new platform. Adding knowledge banter reviews...etc to the channel will make it blow up the next year or so, at least I am hoping for Andrew.

Just get started and do stuff that counts to you and there is other wierd people out there that might think it's valuable to them.....you only need a handful of people on the mailing list, but you need the right people on it. Use a medium that people can share and like easily to build an audience....

I am one of  this these coal mine shooters mz favorite lens would be 10-200 f0.95 on ff. I work with night googles on so I can see what I am shooting. I usually fall to dust once light hits me surfacing, sorry had to get that out my system. 

Jokes aside, nikkor 24-120 f4 is a good money making machine...

I would say it is background compression and depth of field in relation to focal length.

e.g. 50 1.2 on ff and going for a upper body shot open wide you'll have fair bG separation still having a 1.8 would be boring.

on mf you could have the same depth of field but an even wider frame. This is something you usually don't see or can get easily on a smaller sensor...given subject distance etc...stays the same

Mf is lame I want sensors as big as my tablet aka large format

 On the other hand my AI/S lenses should be fine - I think there is still aperture coupling on the adaptor?

Has anyone seen that ominous list of 200-300 lenses suitable?!?

With so many long long time Nikon shooters I'm sure it is only a  matter of time until they bring out a screw drive adapter. 

 

Am in the same pickle here. Will probably have to switch all my favorite lenses to afs versions. I don't think they'll make a screw drive adapter but would love to be proven wrong.

300 f4 meehhh, 85 f1.4 meehhh, my favorite glass is dead now. Will need to come up with a lens strategy....aka coughing up monies

Heart breaking. I can't wait to see how z6 af is doing. Z7 focus is insane.

Is there a sharpening setting as well?

Is is connected to the picture profiles...

No idea if it is really turned off but in the menu of the d750 you have 4 high iso nr thingys....should be the same in the z6.

That video might need a bit of magenta.

Harhar, it’s a conspiracy. 

Has anyone seen a test of ibis in combo with VR of AF-S lenses? I can’t find any...

Stunning execution!!! I have no sound. Looked at it completely still, simply amazing art direction, lighting and shooting...

it would be great to know more about the shoots you did.

Btw. I loved lens flairing/wacking the shit out of my nikkor glass on canon ----> that z mount is dangerously close to the sensor do you dare to put your hand close to that glory hole? 

Please @blackmagicdesign get one of those sales reps to the fricking midlands and go on a bender with Andrew. Let @Andrew Reid document it all with that forsaken p4k. Make a review from it that will break the internet like Kim's butt. Boom. 

+1 on the Nikkor pancakes

I am in the same position. Also want everything in one body. Just for feelings super filmmakerish I would consider the p4k untill i can fondle that z6 in about a years time. I love the z6 from what I have seen so far. It just seems like a no bullshit camera but again other mothers also have beautiful daughters aka a73....

I am Johnny knoxville and I have GAS!

Can't see any divergence on my spiderwebed iphone4s, is all looks great.

...I can kind of see that AF-D lenses are devalued for me if I am getting a Z6. They are great for hammering nails in and do look fantastic but unless there will be a af screw adapter, mehhhh.

I do feel that the startup lens selection is kind of rubbish. I would have much more preferred a bunch of 2.8 or f2s pancake thingys. Also why did they not go with a 24-120 f4, Jesus Christ.

Cant wait for someone to properly review it.....
