And a lowlight designed machine as a consequence. :)

🏄👍 My wife and I ride 657 / 102 Phantasm foils. She's on a Kanaha and I ride Shinn's smallest Jackson Sunburner. Nice to meet a fellow foiler / photgragher.

@@HudsonHenryPhotoyou ever do any kite content? I was focused on it for a while but I injured my knee, had a kid, and started helping my wife with a side business… and thus haven’t posted on UA-cam in 8 months… need to get back in the saddle

I'm not a fan of thumb grips at all. My thumb is busy when I use a camera. I don't ever keep it up there. They just seems to be unneeded and in the way to me. I love the Zf with the small rig grip. It's fantastic for me. No other need.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto ok, super, appreciate your user’s experience. Thanks, Craig

It's pretty old a 9510

Nope, thank goodness. The decisive moment is almost always more important that perfecting focus in manual focus situations. Focus priority only applies to afs & afc, not MF. I for can't imagine using that for moving subjects. It would be frustrating.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto thanks for the confirmation, just waiting for my ZF to arrive to go with my Voightlander 50mm F1.0, currently using on the Z9 which of course doesn’t have the subject detection in MF 🙁

It absolutely works for tracking the eye and zooming in, but you do not get the green confirmation box. Honestly it's the instant zoom to the detected eye and tracking of that eye as you focus that matters. I tested it for other's asking the same question in the feed (answers are there too) with my 105 2.5 AI from the 70s. Worked great. Sorry, not going to do another video. You'll need to trust me.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto Many thanks!

Custom Settings > Controls F4 All that is in my complete setup guide video.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto Thank you! :)

Nope. My standard bank A knock around mode works great to adapt for such shooting. Action, Landscape (aka tripod) and Astro are my dedicated banks. But others should create banks that make the most sense for thier style.

I'll agree to disagree on that one. :-) I prefer to choose the shutter timing myself.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto me too but Focus trap is a great alternative for manual focusing. I mean if the photographer is already framing and focusing, the camera just takes the photo on time (it exists on some older DSLR cameras so why not on such advanced Z cameras ?)

It's certainly nothing I'd ever want to use, but I'm certainly not against it being an option for others.

It won't give the green square confirmation, but... It will track the eye and let you zoom in to 100% at the press of a button while continuing to keep the eye centered as you nail critical focusing. It's the zoom part that matters most honestly.

It's made me LOVE the 50 1.0 which I purchased the second I read about it on the Zf launch.

This first: ua-cam.com/video/aNZbT_9_sf8/v-deo.html Then this: ua-cam.com/video/4XlJnkRejuo/v-deo.html, this: ua-cam.com/video/W31tyl8f3C8/v-deo.html and finally this: ua-cam.com/video/XsUHbooLKkk/v-deo.html

3.0 ND Kase lives there on sunny days for me.

The Z6iii is going to be the low light powerhouse. The 2nd native, virtually noise free gain setting appears to be 3200 ISO! It's also going to bring speed and customizion for those on a budget that don't love the classic form factor of the ZF. The z8/9 are certainly the action/landscape choice although a high megapixel Z7iii could steal landscape. I see the z6iii as the camera for low light handheld, stars, insane 4k video, and price conscious buyers that want speed and custom user settings. Price seems pretty locked in. Nikon is essentially competing with its own other bodies (ZF & Z8). I love my ZF too much to part with it, but the 6iii is clearly more capable. I'm sure the 6iii will be my video machine of choice. I'll keep one till the Z7iii launches (assuming it does) and trade up then.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto Agree. Just remember the price in the EU is €3000, which is 500€ more than the US. Hope they can rethink that before launch. Seems amazon only ships in Germany in July 20th

Hmmmm, I could see that being really annoying for anything but still subjects. Sometimes the decisive moment vastly outweighs focus perfection.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto you can turn it off in the settings. but its really useful actually, I have this working with tt artisan 6 bit adapter and adapted manual lenses, and itworks well, even for moving subjects, and when I don’t want it I turn it off.

That's certainly incorrect! I have an L bracket on my ZF. Rick has an L Bracket on his A7r5. My friends with R5s have L brackets. L brackets can work great with flip screens which I personally VASTLY prefer. Everyone I know who's owned a flip screen body prefers it. I groaned when the Z9 launched without one. What I can't stand is the mess of a tilt system we have on the Z8 and Z9. It's atrocious to use and a fragile weak point. When I'm on my L-bracket vertical above my head (common shooting panos over an obstacle) there is no way to tilt it down. Period. Tilt screens allow you to protect the LCD when not in use. They are more robust and they are far more versatile by allowing far more angles of view. I've had brackets on every camera I've owned since the D70. The L bracket builders like Kirk and RRS have no issue designing around the inevitable move to flip screens.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto I prefer the Z8 tilt screen and it just works better for me. I don’t like flippy screens.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto As I understand it, and I maybe wrong but the screen on the A7r5 does both and allows flippy and Z8 style. That is what the Z6 should have had Inorder to satisfy both type of users.

It's fine to hold a personal opinion. It's not fine to make sweeping, incorrect statements. I vicerally hate the mechanism on the Z8 which I find a near useless, fragile mess, but I don't say everyone will. There are a great many of us who appreciate the superiority of flip screens. That's why all the brands are moving to them.

The first thing Rick did when his a7r5 arrived was flip the screen in front of me and gloat. Yes, it's a nice design on multiple fronts. Like the z8/9, I don't love the fold out fragility, but at least it flips. 😁

My experience with a month testing the R5 was that it will put a point on the eye and showed green in full sensor view when manually focusing, yes. But, it did not track the eye at 100% zoom with a button press keeping it centered as I perfected focus zoomed in fully. Have they added that too? If so, then kudos to Canon too. That's the part that feels like cheating with the Zf and a lens like the 50 1.0 Voigtländer.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto The box follows the eye and the focus indicators give continuous feedback of the acquired focus status within the box. I would have trouble doing the composition desired when it goes dynamic, and I just see a zoomed in crop which follows my motive, but milage may vary. So when it comes to dynamic scenery I prefer the RF 50mm 1.2 over the Nokton 50mm 1.0. (May I say to love the Nokton 40mm 1.2 even more?)

@@HudsonHenryPhoto can't speak for the R5 but my R3 does it

No I like manual focus on the old lenses. I like it even more now.

@@HudsonHenryPhoto no worries, i appreciate the comment!

My 50 year old 105 2.5 on the FTZ and every other lens in the cabinet... The old non chipped lenses don't give green confirmation but they detect and track eyes and let you pop zoom to 100% while tracking. That's the money part. It's all sensor. Not lens. Any lens in manual focus mode does it. Even AF lenses.

It's great for people!

@@HudsonHenryPhoto any good moving subjects thanks

Yep! No truer words. It's crazy amazing.

This new feature has me excited as well. Good days ahead for us!

Yep, just turn on the extended banks setting.

I have the ZF and the 28mm Thypoch; however, I cheated and got the Techart AF adapter. Works great! I do have a TT Artisan tilt lens that isn’t chipped. And the MF subject detect works great as well.

@@JimScooler thank you, Jim! May I ask what focusing mode you put the camera in order to get focus detect to work when using the non-chipped adapter?

@@JimScooler hi again… I was able to get eye detect to work with my Z-mount Simera… but the I’m not getting focus confirmation, insofar as the focus point doesn’t turn green when it is focused. Does that work for you on your TTArtisan?

I stand corrected. Subject detect works but no focus confirmation. I use the focus zoom to confirm. Techart adapter is chipped, so AF and MF with focus confirmation works. Sorry for the confusion.

@@JimScooler no need to apologize at all!!! You’ve helped me confirm that I’ll need to send the z-mount lens back and get the m-mount instead… I’ve been trying to figure this out for days, so a huge thanks! One downer is that I prefer the updated focusing ring of the Z-mount version better… it doesn’t have the infinity lock and focusing tab… but small price to pay to get that focus confirmation. How do you find the handling? The images that are coming off this lens so far are beautiful. Again, a massive thank you for your help!

p. 62 of the manual: "When [ON] is selected for Custom Setting f4 [Touch Fn] > [Enable/disable touch Fn], you can use monitor touch controls to adjust settings while framing pictures in the viewfinder. Touch Fn is available only when the monitor is in storage position with the screen facing outward."

@@pitmanra you deserve a Klondike bar.

Glad you asked about this... Mine was on by default but ended up being "nose" focus selection so turned it off after my nose against the screen kept moving my focus point around. Just went back and looked at it again and realized I could select what portion of the screen was active. Don't know how I missed that the first time around. Master eye is my right eye, so making only the right half (rather than full screen) of the screen react to touch. Works really well. Good stuff!!

It's in my full setup guide.

The 50 1.0 is the money lens. So amazing. I liked the 40 1.2 till I tried it.

I want a105 plena with AF. I still love and use my 105 2.5 AI on the FTZ.

I have the Voigtländer 40 1.2, 50 1.0 and 75 1.5 native z-mounts, they are absolutely wonderful on the Zf. As Hudson says, the 50 1.0 is a superb lens in all respects, I do enjoy the dual nature of the 40 1.2 as a travel lens though….and then, the 75 1.5 reminds me a bit of the older 105 2.0 DC in how it renders. Just less LoCa.

I wish my Z8 had that and it is very annoying that Nikon doesn’t offer that on the Z8/Z9. I use the Voigtlander 40 f/1.2 all the time on my Z8 and it would make using it that much more pleasant.

I personally just use manual lenses on my Zf and not on my Z9&8

It certainly does, but not the green square. It detects, tracks and zooms on a button to focus at 100% while tracking an eye with or without peaking. I tested with my 50 year old 105 2.5 AI.

YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SAME FEATURES IN TWO DIFFERENT CAMERAS and only cut megapixels as a difference for 1,000$ less. When people gonna learn, that it would make no sense? They will add it of course, but to Z8 mark II. Probably PRE-CAPTURE in RAW too, only to Z8 mark II.
