Z8 is the true successor to Nikon D850 which
have been my Travel Companion since Late 2017. Apart from being Mirrorless and lightweight, main differences between Z8 and D850 are the advanced Video features and specs of Z8 making it the besy Camera for Videos in 2023.

The 640 GB card costs whopping 800 Euro in Germany ????????. It provides the Best Sustainable Writing speed of 1400 mbps at any given time.

Is Nikon Z system compatible with Peak Design Travel Tripod ?

Peak Design Travel Tripod & NIKON Z / FTZ compatibility

A video dedicated to Nikon Z users who also use F mount adapted lenses via the FTZ adaptor which can be a bit tricky when it comes to the Peak Design infrastructure of plates, mounting angles and time it takes to swap lenses.

Nikon Z6 with FTZ adapter

I tested various lenses with Nikon Z6:
* Nikkor Z 24-70 F4 S - no adapter needed and everything works as expected
* Tamron 24-70 F2.8 first gen - often can't focus plus weird exposure changes
* Tamron 70-300 - ditto
* Tamron 15-30 F2.8 first gen- same as above, but this one may still be useful for me as I mainly use it for stationary subjects and sometimes with tripod
* Tamron 150-600 G2 (second gen) - works with the latest lens firmware update as of 5 Jan 2019
* Nikkor 50 F1.8 and Nikkor 85 F1.8 - both work
* Samyang 14 F2.8 - it's a manual focus lens, but works as expected including correct exposure

It was relatively dark: 1/50s F4, ISO 2000

Z50 • First Lens to Buy!

Nikon Z50 owners or people thinking about getting one, here is my suggestion for the best first lens to buy and add to your collection after your purchase of the Z50 two lens kit. Hint, it's the DX 35mm f/1.8G f-mount prime lens. Make sure you have an FTZ adaptor which I highly recommend purchasing at the time of your Z50 purchase so you can save 200 dollars.

Nikon Z6 Unboxing

I unbox my new Nizon Z6 and FTZ Adaptor

1080/60 test video with Nikon Z6 with FTZ and Sigma 150-600C plus 1.4TC in FX and DX modes.

This is a very short test video made with a HANDHELD Nikon Z6 with FTZ adapter and a Sigma 150-600C lens at the 600 mm setting, with and without Sigma 1.4TC teleconverter. The video was taken at 1080/60 in FX and DX modes of the Z6. The camera's AF mode was set to single point AF-C to avoid focus hunting and lens noise. The AF speed and quality are not great but usable and not noticeably different than when the 150-600C is used with D850.
The video was taken in the camera's M mode, at 1/600 and f9.0, resulting in ISO of about 1500-2500 depending on the presence of the TC.
The Z6's electronic VR must be ON for stabilization to be effective. About 10% frame cropping was observed when the electronic VR was used. The lens' OS switch must be set to OS1. The Z6 did NOT stabilize when the lens OS switch was in the OS2 mode, even though the camera menu showed that both VR types remained on (this may be an issue with my copy of this lens; my other Sigma lens (105/2.8) did not have such a problem).
For the Sigma 150-600C lens, Z6 appears to combine electronic VR with some of the lens's VR axes. Some artifacts of the lens' VR mechanism (floating and periodic jerking) are noticeable and they also appear when using the lens for still photography with my D850. Over 1.5 years of ownership of this lens I have noticed a gradual increase in the amount of VR float, which was almost absent in the beginning, so this again may be specific to my copy of the lens.
With the Nikon Z6 with FTZ, Sigma 150-600C and Sigma 1.4TC an effective reach of 150 to 1200 mm is available at 4K video resolution without significant degradation in IQ and resolution, which should be great for all wildlife including birds.

Tamron 15-30mm with FTZ adapter after firmware upgrade

This is a follow-up to my previous video where I demonstrated that autofocus was broken while using Tamron 15-30mm F2.8 (first generation), Nikon Z6 and FTZ adapter.

It is the first generation lens and it's impossible to update the firmware on your own via TAP-in console. Instead I posted it for an update to Tamron (Fixation in the UK), which they did free of charge even though I had bought the lens 4.5 years ago. Excellent customer service!

The autofocus is working fine now. Perhaps it's not as fast and reliable as on my Nikon D610, but it should be perfectly usable in most scenarios.

Video test on Nikon Z50 AF-S 50mm F1.8G lens FTZ adapter (尼康Z50 FTZ 转接環 AF-S 50mm F1.8G 鏡頭下的視頻測試)

Nikon Z50 with FTZadapter, excellent quality, but low price NIKKOR AF-S lens can be used. Here 50mm F1.8G lens is tested here. One critical thing needs to be tested is the auto-focus capability when AF-S lens is adopted. Here Auto-area focus and Full time AF are two relevant settings for auto-focus functionality. This video is recorded in the most busy area of Hong Kong, Kowloon, although Covid virus is still shadowing Hong Kong. The crowd people and congested cars cause the very challenging scenario for Nikon Z50. Through this study of video testing, you can see the auto-focus capability of Nikon Z50; meanwhile, you can also realize what is computation algorithm behind, so that you can better utilize this auto-focus function, not misusing or abusing this very useful and critical functionality. This video test uses monopod to ease the problem of hand-shaking during video making. Unfortunately hand-shaking problem is still obvious, so post-processing for stabilization by iMovie software is used here. However, at the last part of this video, stabilization of iMovie cannot be adopted since there are a lot of large objects moving abruptly, which will significantly impact the quality of video after post-processing stabilization, so I just leave these clips here without post stabilization processing.
尼康Z50在用了FTZ-mount后,就可以用上質素超好而又便宜的Nikkor AF-S 鏡頭,但要留意的是如果用了AF鏡頭,則沒了自動對焦功能,因為AF鏡頭沒有內置馬達。 這個視頻測試了AF-S 鏡頭的自動對焦能力。視頻拍攝的地方是繁亂的香港九龍鬧市,你可以看到在如此紛雜的環境下,尼康Z50的自動對焦能力的表現。因為尼康Z50沒有內置有力的防手震裝置,而這支測試的尼康AF-S鏡頭也沒有內置防震,所以我用了單腳架,但發現還是震得厲害,所以事后我又用了iMovie 軟體里的防震修正功能,可惜的是視頻后半截用不了這個軟件功能,因為對视頻質素影響很大,所以這個視頻的后半截就不做防震修正了。

Unboxing Nikon Z6 with Kit 24-70 f:4 S Lens & FTZ Adaptor. First impressions. Mirrorless vs DSLR

Mirrorless vs DSLR. First impressions from unboxing the Nikon Z6 24-70/4S Kit. I’ve shot Nikon for years from shooting film on Nikon Nikkormat, F2, FE2, then digital with DSLR’s D700, D500 and D850.

I also use Leica film and digital rangefinder cameras, M4 (film) and M240P (digital mirrorless).

What can Nikon’s push into mirrorless digital camera’s offer me, or you?

This video offers first impressions before even taking the first photography, why mirrorless over “Heavy” duty DSLR’s.

There will be more follow up video’s covering the use of the Z6 compared to the D500, D700, D850 and my Leica cameras. Numerous photoshoots will be organised to showcase the results.

This might help in your choice to complement your DSLR range with mirrorless versions or if new to photography, help you get started when considering new or used camera formats.

Welcome your thoughts and comments.
