That is my favorite shot as well, to get the diffusion on the lights, was that the promist? I have the Kase 112mm magentic filter kit, I like the neutral night filter on the 14-24.
For people for whom this is not a profession, the Nikon 14-30 is an almost equally good lens, incomparably more compact than the 14-24, covers a wider range, and also has the option for screw-in filters (82 mm). However, these filters are significantly cheaper - I use a Marumi polarizer that costs around 40-50 dollars.
F/4, way more distortion, more vignetting, worse chromatic aberration and less sharp. You literally get what you pay for here, and have to consider what you want or need or can afford.
Great to see Evan returning to this behind the scenes photography format. It's what really got me back into taking photography seriously. Keep it up! You're one of the GOATs!
Hey thank you! The whole photo world (and world lol) has changed since back in the day when I made those videos but definitely a goal to find a good way to modernize the behind the scenes format
Hello Evan. Nice pics and thank you for this video. I have the 14-30 F4 model that is really good too. I love it on my Zf and this 14-30 is even more versatile for this king of trip. Have a nice day. JB from France. 👍
I still own and use the older f mount 14-24mm 2.8, and the filter limitations have always been an issue. So it's great to see that the Z version fixed that.
My opinion, But i have literally never seen better photos of cityscapes, you take really amazing shots and the color grading is superb. Love to see your content man, keep it up, hope i will learn more from you.
You know what’s even better, that lens hood fits the Nikon Z Trinity (14-24, 24-70 and the 70-200) I’m using the Kase Revolution Magnetic kit with those lenses and it is a blessing!
Awesome timing Evan, I’m visiting NY and the US for the first time properly in mid October! In my case it will be with the 14-30mm f/4. Did you find yourself using a tripod much during your visit, especially during the evenings?
Man, we stayed right near each other & I went to the 2pm presentation 😫 I knew I should’ve came to the 11am!! Would’ve been fire for us to link, all good. Great video nevertheless.
This lens is definitely on my radar! A lens you might like to check out is the Z 24-120mm f4 S, it's a fantastic lens that is extremely versatile...it's currently my favourite lens I own.
Yeah this lens is also much lighter than the previous one I had. Definitely excited to try some more stuff. I did checkout a few things when I was at b&h during this trip. Appreciate you watching 💯
That vlog sequence looked great.. if that was with the Z8 and 14-24 you got some strong arms.. I ended up taking a hit on light gathering and went for the 14-30 f4.. its still an S line lens so its very sharp.. 30mm is great as its close enough to 28-35 which is where i like to be for street.. there have been plenty of occasions where i wish i had a 2.8 though.. so you gotta pickk your struggles.. the 17-28 was an option but it felt like slightly inferior glass and not super duper wide.
Okay. After hearing you talk up the Z 14-24/2.8S for ten minutes, I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that my copy, staring at me from a Z30 mounted to my desk, is being horribly underutilized. There was a time, many years ago, when all I wanted to do was shoot random things with an ultra wide lens, so naturally I had to have one for the Z9, and I just couldn't rediscover the joy.
How many of these shots were at 14-16? I am torn between the smaller, lighter and a bit longer 17-28 as I don’t tend to shoot ultra-wide and like small and lightweight kit… the photos you showed, however, were stunning and if the 14-16 range was essential for these then, maybe the size and weight are worth it😜 I have a 14-24 F-mount but won’t carry it around and only bring it out when I need it’s range (real estate).
Unfortunately Panasonic only has a 14-28mm F4-5.6 but at least it's macro. Sigma does have a 14-24mm F2.8 Art though. I'm not usually one to use wides but maybe I'll rent one for a project.
I think you are an absolute fire photographer and you still are too self critical about some stuff when you can just go out and rock the show. Love your perspective and opinions on photography and tech ❤
Haha the problem with the new studio (at the moment) is that everything off camera is a mess. There’s a blanket hung to shelf to block noise… so once that’s fixed it’ll be more usable 🙌
The 14-30 f/4 does the exactly same job and a bit more at a fraction of the price, size and weight. Except you lose access to f/2.8 of course, which, frankly, is not a big deal with contemporary bodies. IQ is similar. I would not state the same for 24-70, as differential focus advantages come much more into play and there are obvious visual differences for background management.
My 810 is broken so I have no way to compare except old photos but I think the quality of these images is slightly better, but the overall camera experience + video on the z8 is (obviously) so much better than the 810
Greatest city on earth? Yeah it's cool but I don't know about all that lol. My state, my favorite sports teams, but man I hate the traffic up there. If I don't have to drive then ATL is great 😂😂
Bro, your videos are so repetitive you just cannot be content with one camera and I get it. You’re a gear review channel and photography comes third. I mean let’s face it. Your photos aren’t award-winning.
