The image 3:52 is shooted on 16-28 2.8 it is another lense(
Thank you! This was driving me crazy trying to find the setting.
Thanx I’ll try this tomorrow. Footage looked sharp but too bright and washed out by natural light but I think that’s because I need a ND filter. The shaking was even more noticeable even though I had my camera in a handheld cage. Thanks for the tip
I wonder what’s the difference between this original VC model, and the G2 version??? I don’t see a comparison review.
I'm sure there are some out there but I know one of the big differences that you can only use it on cameras that have electronic connections to the lens. The G1 lens was able to be used with the old screw type focus. And I'm sure there are improvements in the lens itself. If that's the case then it's probably well worth the price because the one that I had was fantastic!
@@BillEricPhotography thank you!
Nifty DYI, handful of lighting tips, solid all-around photography advice! Thank you.
We are looking to sell our Rockwood TT 2017 (also no leaf springs) and get a 5th wheel. With all the sub-par covid builds, we weren't considering a 2021. But it looks like you bought a good one. Did you get an NRVIA inspection before you closed on it? We bought a short bed 2021 Ram 3500 to tow with, not thinking about how 5th wheels can hit the cab in a tight turn on a short bed. The sidewinder hitch on the Flagstaff looks like it solves the problem. There's a lot more to think about going to a fifth wheel from a TT than we anticipated! I'm going to join a Rockwood 5th wheel group to get more owner input. Great video.
EF lenses always look better in nassau. RF always look better in suffolk
Don't buy fisheye if you are going to ruin it anyway 🤦♂️ amateurs these days
I just bought the 16-35 for the vr i'm hoping it will work well as a walk around video lens
It's a good wide angle focal range. Sometimes on the wide end it will distort pretty heavily. Especially people but I really like mine. I never used it for video though.
Thanks@@BillEricPhotography
This is EXACTLY my problem. I have the exact ame lens/camera combo (my backup is my old D700) but the consistency is meh, pretty much the same, I guess. i did a shoot in London last night and so many images did this. I felt like an amateur and I did lose some confidence - like "What am I doing wrong?" and just went back to th D700 as I know it and we're a good team. I only got my Z5 a day ago, too! Kinda scary when you got clients who want good quality. Early days, yet, bro!
I had heard that Nikon had worked out the problems with the Z5. I do notice every now and then my z62 will also hunt and I miss focus. I think the autofocus on a mirrorless camera is just a little bit different than what we were used to in a DSLR. There might be a little bit of a learning curve as you learn the camera. I know Eric doesn't have any focus issues with his Canon R5. It's pretty rock solid when it comes to autofocus. I notice my Nikon z62 is not as good.
@@BillEricPhotography Thanks for that, man. Like we say, it's early days. I'm doing another shoot next Saturday for a similar house music event and tempted to take the D700 and just use the Z5 for video. That way, I'm 100% sure I'll smash it!🤩
@neilfoulks5521 I would try to shoot around with the Z5 this week and use it. It's probably not a better ISO performance than the d700. So even if you have to kick up the ISO a little bit the images will be cleaner.
@@BillEricPhotography ISO was set to Auto when I bought it, and I always shoot manual with as low ISO as possible to help reduce noise. Never really been a problem and I rarely use the AI noise reduction to DNG in Lightroom or even the slider in the "old days" lol. I would never dream of going to 10,000 ISO. Do you know if there's a quicker way of using the LR noise reuction by AI than waiting for each picture to edit itself? (Sorry if it's off subject, but that's what's stopping me getting the edit done right now). As for using it during the week, be hard to get into a situation where there's loads of people who'd be throwing themselves in front of the camera for kicks til the weekend! hahaha🤣🤣😂😂
Can you try to do while talking, just to not make the video long
Awesome, thanks. Wondering if you used the II version of the 2x, any difference from the III? Thanks again, nice video.
You cover DOF, but in low light you really want to have the F/2.8
Normally I would agree with you but I keep finding that with every new camera generation the ISO performance gets better and better. You can almost make up that stop of light by just raising up your ISO a bit.
Wow, it’s $1199 on Amazon now!
Well done video - Hi from Michigan 🚂
Hello, i have a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Canon G1, and i have a issue when i record video. The images " jumps" sometimes and I can hear the sound of aperture even though I don't change it, and also subjects appear with some red marks around them, like I'm manually focusing(it stops the servo autofocus for 1-2 seconds) . This is what happens when the image jumps. Plus the recording sometimes stops when the images jumps. . What could be the problem? The aperture, VC or the autofocus?🤔🥺 I used this lens on 2 bodys: Canon M50-my camera, and Canon Rp-from one friend.
I came to see the difference in magnification. Just letting you know.
I am addicted to 50mm lenses it’s not even funny anymore
So then Henri Cartier-Bresson's works are boring? I think not. If one is familiar of the results rendered by each lens, you can choose what is most likely to work in each situation on the street. The 40 or 50mm lens works with ease in framing composition, geometry, with nearly no distortions, unless you work hard for such. Nothing wrong with the 24 to 35mm range though you really have to be more up close. Seeing something going on across the street might be totally lost at 24 or 28mm, as you can only crop in so much to save the day. Yes, there are times when you cannot back-up enough, but those times are rare. There are times when you might get less story with a tight lens, but then again with the wide you often crop to get only what you wish in view. Joel Meyerowitz is a proponent of the 35mm view to capture other elements within frame seemingly unrelated. That is interesting, though when he changed to the wider view, IMO, he had the same or less great images. To use 85mm or longer to get that special look or portrait qualities is great too. But you will toss-out a load of opportunities for shots that day on the street. Life is compromise with the short or long lens to get the special shots. The 40mm - 50mm will have less compromised days of shooting. OK -- maybe the 35mm. Love all the lenses, with the 28mm look being great, in some cases. In the end, it could be simply how we see the world, thus more a personal way of camera and mind ( heart ). Thanks for the video, Loren
How much is admission to Bushkill Falls?
And since you made this video, Viltrox has added a 16 mm f1.8, 20 mm f2.8 and a 40 mm f2.5 and a 50 mm f1.8 for FF Z cameras. I have the 16mm, the 20 mm and the 85mm f1.8 and am very happy with all of them. The price points don't hurt, either. :-)
Tanks are synominous with unreliability, breaking down and blowing up. Just stop.
I see ths is an old post but I’ll reply anyway. Just got the Z5 two days ago and I love the camera. Going through my lenses to see which ones will autofocus. I own four Sigma lenses and they do fine with the autofocus. My problem is the other Nikon lenses I have don’t autofocus. I’m still assuming I’m doing something wrong but haven’t figured it out yet.
The problem I was having had to do I think with a firmware update that needed to happen. From what I understand the Z5 is fine now. As far as the lenses you might have some older f mount lenses that have the screw type autofocus. Those won't work with the newer cameras
Awesome info!
I have a 135 1.8 and a 70-200 2.8 II , Sony . Found that portraits look better at 200 2.8 compared to the 135. Will be selling off the 135. Bokeh at 200 2.8 is comparable to 135 1.8.
Torn between this and the nikon 14-24
Awesome video but I have a question for you. I have a built-in flash on my canon 80 D can I use this flash 270 eX2 with any issues
My son and I are into birding so we enjoyed hearing the birds along highland trail. He got great shots of both falls and birds.

wish i never bought this camera there's hardly any lenses for it and they are all expensive
could i use this flash on my canon 5D mark IV and also can i keep the flash on constantly? cheers

Does the adapter drain the battery also or is it just the speed booster? Great video. Thank you! Of the
Thanks for your video. I was thinking to get a used 50mm F1.8 z lens but I had the same the concerns that once I've got this lens it will be sitting in my bag and never see the daylight. I shoot mostly landscape and occassionally taking pictures of family pictures. I thinkmy 24-120 F/4 Z lens should do the job. Like you've mentioned I probably would go for the 85 mm f/1.8 or 35mm f/1.8 if I want to do portraits. The 50mm focal length for me is either here or there.
Ha! Sneaker tripod! I'll be remembering that one.
Thank you so much!!! I was thinking about ending it all trying to figure this out.
We wouldn't want you to do that!
I intend to get the 56 for my sony A6600
It's a very nice lens.
F mount lenses are not up to the mark with z series camera except for sigma art lenses
I found a big difference being out there shooting in the real world, for me RF lenses are much better than EF

●Yes, but use a filter in front, dust will get inside immediately.
Dust has never been an issue for me using filters. As long as they're mostly clean you should be fine.
