@Gael32 15 дней назад

Same. I wanted to suggest it but figured it might not be what he wants to mess with. No 4k (J5 is the exception), no telephoto primes, and terrible lens reliability. With how expensive the CX Nikkor 70-300mm was, I'm just dreading when that plastic gear that drives the aperture assembly wears down.

@JamieKitson 14 дней назад

@@Gael32 True, but you know how Kasey loves to buy new gear and then complain about it. I was hesitant to suggest it for a different reason, I didn't want to drive the prices up! I bought a CX 70-300mm on ebay and it arrived broken, I've replaced one cable and am about to replace the second, however it looks like the FT1 adapter and 70-300mm AF-P or AF-S is an option too. Also, 4k on the J5 is only at 15fps 🤣

@Gael32 14 дней назад

@JamieKitson Yeah, now I actually want him to do it, lol. There would be epic amounts of complaints, and I would love to see the boardroom meeting. Really though, with the J5 they seemed to be on the right track. I prefer the v3 though. I can only imagine that a v4 would have been just about perfect if it had ever been released. If they had QC'd the lenses better it would be amazing. The 18.5mm f1.8 and 32mm f1.2 are fantastic wide open, but the reliability of the 32mm's aperture mechanism keeps me from using it often.

@sargisshirinyan207 15 дней назад

Hey Kasey, thanks for the answers!! I actually decided to get the 23mm T1.4 prime instead of that 16-80 T4. So 23mm T1.4 and 70-300 it is! Why planespotting? 😂 I'm a student pilot and love seeing planes take off and land at YYC, cheers Kasey!

@andriistupak7348 14 дней назад

Actually, I have XT5 with 16-80mm f4 and 70-300mm. Perfect for any travel. And I don't know why Kasey had problems with IS on 16-80 mm, but in my case it works as good as on 70-300. And 40 mp sensor really helps, because with wildlife you crop a lot!

@REXAudioSRB 14 дней назад

16-80 sucks not just because of stabilization. It's not that sharp and they sacrificed aperture size for more reach. 18-55 is cheaper and better, 16-55 also better, I would argue that even 15-45 is better.

I’ve recently got a Sony APSC 70-350 for my A7C in an attempt to get a much smaller lens closer to Olympus’s 75-300 but for Sony. I can go into crop mode and get 10mpx or crop the vignette in post and get about 15mpx. It’s a full frame equivalent of 525mm at the long end and you can still use clear image zoom with video/jpg, so I’m happy with it.

Thanks for taking us along on your camera journey. The 200-600/180-600 are both really sharp, so the 600pf is really only sharper towards the edge of frame or if you use a TC. Where you should see a difference is weight, VR, balance/handling, and it’ll be around 600mm at close distance. The 200-600 is more like a 530mm at close distance.

Hi Kasey, bit of advice needed and yes I know it's slightly subjective. I've been photographing my local football team: action shots (not many in truth) but the chairman has asked me to do the pre season team portrait. For the action I'm using the Panny boy with the Leica 200 T2.8 but for portraits and closer shots I'm on the Fuje. My question to you would be, and they're all primes, which lens for the group photo? 16mm, 35, 56 or 85. I'm probably gonna shoot at T8 as the chairman wants the stand behind to be in focus also, so will probably be Stabed up with a tripod. Any help would be appreciated.

I remember bracing myself for the weight as I was handed the lens and it basically felt like it would float away in a slight breeze 🙂 At least compared to the 200-500/5.6E I used to own at the time. It's an astonishingly light lens.

Hi man, I got into wildlife recently and I have a X-S20 currently and a 70 300 which I loved but the reach for any birding was not enough and with fuj shitty focus your video af is all over the place and useless eventhough you've got the color magic. I got the 150 600 to try and that's much better with the reavh and more magic but the lens is bulky although I loved it, and thought the xs20 would not cut it with the HD 240, so I wanted to try 4k 120 and ordered xh2s just to try and see if the slow mo and the 4k 120 worth it or more magic or should I return and stick with my xs20 with more slow fames and less quality (tried AI upscaling and was okay) but time consuming and probably not similar to the original. What's your suggestion? Nikon better or fuj? I love the fuj but auto focus is hell, can't get any bird in flight video or photo and all out of focus, only works with stationary subject, although I'm a noob and don't know what I'm doing. Now the question should I send back both 150 600 and the xh2s? Should I keep 150 600 and sell 70 300 + tc 1.4 (which is very travel friendly and the other one not really) Or keep both lenses send back xh2s after test? Keep all and be broke? I am an enthusiast

@JJARCHIE 15 дней назад

The af is usable , and honestly anyone complaing about af mowadays ( exevpt for fuji bodies ) is just unlucky or pushing it with contrast. About the dr , its correct , but the z6iii is more so for a video hybrid , if you're doing photos , not a lot of reason to even go for newer bodies since something like the z6i/a7iii offers cheap usable 24mp burst with nice dr and high iso recoverability.

@chiftele08 15 дней назад

JP is a Nikon hater, and the newest test from Tony Northrup is pure clickbait. Yes, ALL stacked sensors have a little less dynamic range than non stacked sensors. Because they focus on video and electronic shutter and speed. The 10 years old APS-C DSLR Nikon D7200 has better dynamic range than the Sony A1. Or the Nikon Z8 or Z9. The old Nikon D750 or Z6 has better DR than the Sony A7SIII. And the DR in Video is a hole different story. But all are between a range of a half to one stop. If you need more than 5 stops recovery of shadows in post, search for another hobby. Und below 5 stops, the noise of Z6II and Z6III are the same. Don't believe the RU-vid clickbait hype and go outside and make great pictures with proper exposure.

@TE4K 15 дней назад

@@chiftele08 Yes you are right! In general i do not buy stuff just because someone say that this or that is good! The Z6III is for sure a super nice camera and will produce great pictures and videos so the D750 or what else. It is the FOMO - the GAS that kicks in for the most people when "new" and "better" stuff comes out most of us have already crazy good gear (i assume) - and this is what is really crazy to me when ppl jump shipping from system to system losing so much money - instead of going out and using their gear learning the craft - Kasey is probably the only one who is funny to watch for a camera gear based channel - There are to many fanboys in the marked so you really have to go and try out the cameras for your self.

About the 16-80mm and 70-300mm question. I've got both lenses, and an X-S20 body. I love the focal length versatility of 16-80mm, and its constant aperture. Bokeh quality is quite pleasing (for a zoom). The 70-300mm is a nice lens, but I have trouble with focusing / tracking, this could be very much a user's error, or that I am trying to shoot (photos of) Western house martin birds, which are among the fastest ones in my country. (this is another comment attempt, looks like the first one got auto-deleted, because it contained a link a gallery)

@Sky-ne5gn 15 дней назад

About 70-300mm. Have you done a firmware update for this lens? The firmware update Ver.1.10 (12.20.2023) Focus tracking performance during zooming is improved.

@kravec.miroslav 15 дней назад

@@Sky-ne5gn I have the 1.10 version of firmware installed. I guess, it's because the flight speed of Western house martin is up to 11m/s, and I want to shoot it from close distance (roughly 3m to 8m) to have it cover large portion of frame. So, this 11m/s is quite big speed relative to short distance of 3m to 8m. I guess, the lens just doesn't keep up. I very rarely even manage to keep adequately panning, such fast it is. And, if I do manage to keep it in the frame, then AF misses. I'm using 8FPS burst mode, shutter speed over 1/1000, but looks like 1/4000 is needed to not have the bird blurred out due to speed. I need to try to shoot slower and/or bigger birds, to fill the frame and hit the focus.

@filmstudiojapan 15 дней назад

Primes tend to get lighter with each generation. Beyond the weight reduction, Z lenses (except the 180-600) are all exceptionally balanced which makes them feel much lighter and extends the time before muscle fatigue when shooting. Even helps in the backpack as you're less likely to have pressure points digging into your back from gravity doing it's thing with an off balanced load. Fresnel elements are not used on all of the light lenses from Nikon btw. Lighter materials and less glass due to advanced coatings and optical designs are playing a part. But even if you go back pre af and vr, there were some fairly long light lenses floating around (not the norm, but they exist).

Z6 OG has better dynamic range than A7Siii in video, so less, doesn't necessarily equate to bad. I get the weight factor, but af-s tele lenses for nikon have very good stabilization (the ones that have it). I wouldn't expect you to stick with any of them due to the weight, but you can basically get the same optics as the very high end Z tele lenses for a fraction of the cost. Af is also very fast on some of them (faster than all but the most expensive Z glass).

@@JJARCHIE I get what you're saying, but I think it would be incorrect to expect all new cameras to follow speed over dynamic range.

@@filmstudiojapan i get the point , but pushing past 12 ish in a hybrid is quite hard - esp when video take precedent over stills mostly nowadays. The 24mp can possibly get 13 stops assuming we boost it up but may impact its video chops , deff possible tho. Its more so diminishing returns since alexas 35's can reach 15 stops but does so by sucking up so much joice and needing a beefy build to have it not overheat. A large manufacturer should technically be able to make a 13,5 stop ff camera assuming they push all effort into the stills part

I really think you should have gotten the 180-600. Besides being less than half the price of the 600, it's equally fast and has way better close focusing. Good luck shooting bees, butterflies, and damsel flies from 13 feet away. You only save one pound with the 600. Anyway, you'll be able to sell the 600 and get the 180-600 soon enough. 😂

They had a "try Z6III" event at my local camera store, with the 180-600 and 600 pf sitting out, and man they are pretty close in size and weight to the point that for me it's now hard to justify the cost of the 600 pf. You will also probably complain about the mfd

@KungPowEnterFist 15 дней назад

Yeah, no. The weight difference is pretty substantial, but the real clincher is the balance. The Z 180-600 is not a well balanced lens and it feels lot heavier than it is. I actually find the 800 PF feels lighter, even though on paper it is heavier than the Z 180-600. Vs the 600 PF, forget about it. You are out of your mind if you feel the weight/balance of the Z 600 PF is "pretty close" to the Z 180-600. The Z 600 PF also has far superior AF, far superior VR, far sharper edge to edge, holds up an order of magnitude better in less than good light, better tripod foot setup, and has better ergonomics overall. These two lenses are actually pretty far apart, much more than the difference in price would indicate.

Personally I’d say the 600 is the least appealing of all the options with the fact that the 180-600 exists. The 800 makes sense, the 400/4.5 makes sense as a super light. Personally I’ve got old G-VR versions of the 300/2.8 and 500/4 which I love, but the 500 is a bit heavy. I’m hoping to buy a new 400/2.8 by the end of the year if my finances can work out reasonably.

@@1armbiker "Personally I’d say the 600 is the least appealing of all the options with the fact that the 180-600 exists." Everything you say in that response is fair. The least appealing option to you may in fact be the 600 PF. It is pricey, no doubt on that. You can get the F 500 PF in 10/10 used condition with a 6 month warranty for half the sale price of the Z 600 PF in new condition. Optically (adjusted for the 100mm difference in focal length) they are virtually identical in the lab/well controlled test. The least attractive option to me in the Z super tele lineup is the Z 400 f4.5. IMHO, the F 300 PF is the better overall lens in the super light, super small, travel friendly super tele category. You can get them used 10/10 condition for about $800, very fast AF, very good VR, very sharp, decently close MFD/repro ratio, and it literally fits in your jacket pocket. The F 500 FL lens is an exceptional lens, which all by itself beats everything Sony and Canon in the super tele range for general wildlife/sports action. It is essentially optically perfect. It is not 100% handholdable, IMHO, and its a bit of a pill on longer walks/hikes. But the IQ out of it is out of this world at that focal length. I have rented it twice before, and have waited patiently the last couple of years for the right one to come along in the used market to add it to my arsenal.

To prime or zoom that is the question. I prime when I want a prime look and I zoom when I want the look of my zoom. I do tend to use my zooms like I use my LPVO on my AR, at minimum or maximum, rarely in-between. Zooms are heavy and not as sharp, primes are lighter and more sharp. The bitch is that you're going to need different lenses. BTW photography is not dead but may be practiced by a growing number of zombies! 😄😄

The whole industry is trying to replace primes with zooms with the lens like the 28-45 sigma f/1.8 and the rumored sony 24-70 f/2.0, while Casey is going to opposite direction giving up zooms and going primes. When zooms have improved aperature, primes will not exisit, especially for professional photographers that have limited time on each assignment.

@filmstudiojapan 15 дней назад

Ahh you made me sign in for this lol. No, no, and no. There have always been more zooms than primes because they cater to both hobbyists, and professionals that need to re-frame quickly and often in scenarios like weddings (one example). Then there are the full on amateurs who will always prefer a cheap kit zoom because they don't know just how good a prime can be and or they simply don't care enough about image quality to sacrifice the ability to zoom in and out. Primes will always have their place, and no one is trying to replace them. To be clear there are some fantastic zooms that rival primes in terms of image quality. It's not the norm, but they exist.

@ste8ven 15 дней назад

@filmstudiojapan zooms are getting smaller, lighter, and with better aperture. Especially with the 28-45 f/1.8 sigma and the 35-150 f/2-2.8. When people have limited time and need to reframe to do the job, they don't have time to switch lens. Why not just get a zoom with good aperature that has the quality of a prime. Look at Tamrons stock price and their profit margins, the industry is moving toward zooms, it's no joke. Primes might get even better and lighter, but eventually with good enough quality to do the job zooms will be the popular opinion.

Nikon has a virtually insurmountable lead in the wildlife/sports action game. It's not even a debate at this point. BTW, the Z 600 PF completely obliterates that E 200-600. And so does the F 500 PF. I would even prefer to use the F 300 PF with the 1.4xTCIII in FF or APS-C over that E 200-600. Ultra light and small, better macro-ish capability, better AF, better VR, better IQ (up to a certain distance). It's actually a very fun little lens, but, yeah, you do have to get closer.
