Nice video. Settings please.

I am still leaning but have been trying picture control on my Zf since the day I purchased using multiple picture control sources… it’s not the same and not as intuitive as Fujifilm’s film sim. Also Nikon PC doesn’t save WB, doesn’t offer chrome adjustment nor grain, Also no RBG adjustment is available even on the official app/software… Not quite sure so far.

Thanks for this...very helpful

What settings did you have it on? Looks great!

Well...this was very helpful! I had no idea that there were additional options despite shooting Nikon for many years and having many camera bodies that were compatible. I appreciate you taking all the effort to make this. Nice job!

Hello Joshua, great video, I just got the z9 and have sony lenses and the A7iv I was thinking of buying the tamron35-150 for nikon z. But wanted to ask you an update of your opinion is the tamron z faster on the z9 or would the tamron sony with the adaptor work the same on the z9. If I can use it on both cameras it would be great. Your comment is welcome Thanks in advance

I considered getting this for a Z8, because I love my Tamron 20-40mm on my A7R5. But I do remember not being able to update my firmware on.the Tamron - the lens or camera just wouldn't except the update, so I gave up. I'm glad I've watched this video because it would have probably been necessary to update the lens. I did contact Tamron but they didn't reply.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Awesome man - thank you!

I'm not sure why, but your voice only comes from the left side; it may not be as disturbing when listening through speakers, but it is extremely disturbing when listening through headphones. BTW, great video, and thank you.

Nikon Picture Control has breathed new life into Nikon DSLR and Mirroless camera's.

I added the Fuji XT1, Fuji XPRO-2, Canon 5D Mark 2 and Pentax K20D to my Nikon D5500

Awesome video!!! Thanks for going through all of those Nikon color simulations , which I didn't bother to do and probably wouldn't have done so. I saw some in camera I really liked such as Dream, Pure, Denim, Toy...Those are similar to that old film look and I will be Happy to put them to use Thanks to this informative video!

You should have tested NRAW Normal as well, not just High.

Hey man i have a question for the fuji provia 100f is it recommended to always shoot on iso 100? What to do if its night where u have to bump up the iso

now that the tamron release the z mount 25-150, it is more affordable to use samyang 25-150.

Hi, I am considering the new Tamron 70-180 G2 for use with my Nikon ZF but using the Megadap ETZ21pro since its not available for Nikon (yet?) do you recommend going down this route ? and if it arrives in NikonZ mount later, upgrade it. Did you upgrade your 35-150 to the Nikon Z mount version in the end ?

Great job on this vid.

What was the month you went? The water is so clear compared to other videos I have seen!

💪🤘🤟

Thanks.

Thank you, Josh. This is awesome. I have already subscribed to both your CZcams Channel and Instagram. I am a beginner in photography looking to level up my skills, and I challenge like this to hold myself accountable too is what I need. Should be interesting. I will be shooting with a Sony ZV-E10 with two different lenses Sigma 30mm f1.4, and a Tamron 18-300mm f3.5-6.5. Start date 4/20/24 and I'll be posting to @dlhamlin70...Thanks man, got to go, I have pictures to take.

Wow, so very helpful! Would love to see you do a video on when you might use this from start to finish. Well done!

Thanks for time and effort … guess I should try all the inbuilt pic profiles ..

Good luck man! Congrats on 10 years with your photo business. Did you make the song yourself as well?

I have zf + z mount version of the tamron. And only using af-c + burst mode while zooming quickly sometimes the focus get stucked and impossible to refocus, I have to shut down and turn on again. This is not happening on my z6ii body though…

I almost though myself into NOT buying this lens (too expensive for me at the moment) and your video forces me to rethink everything again 😢 i know i will miss wider than 35mm in tight places like bride/groom houses, but that versatility.... I wish it was something like 28 to 125 :)

Thank you!

Love this! Ill be joining you!

Great video! Can you share the shot list you are following?

So, what did they say? Should be covered under pilot error I think?

Nice video. A couple of additions. I number them, if you want to comment on one of them. (1) You can make Picture Controls in your camera too, save, export, import, along the lines of the video. (2) Nikon's free "raw processor" NX Studio holds Picture Controls as well, and in NX Studio, you can edit, save, etc. again. (3) With memories of what characterised film stock, printed on specific paper, I must admit that I have not seen a film emulation yet that really looks like the original they are named after. For example, (4) Kodak Tri-X would be different in 135 confection (35mm film) than in 120 roll film (e.g. used in Hasselblad film cameras). Also, the grain would differ depending on the "developer" (chemical formula), temperature, and the process of developing (motion, how often, etc.) The latter would also impact gradation and contrast envelope (dynamic range in a single shot). Then being B&W negative film, you would print it on paper with a monochrome negative emulsion that would be available in different brands and contrast versions, or surface, etc., all leading to different perceptions of the resulting image. (5) What makes a big difference in how you perceive your digital images is if your camera has an OLPF or not. The OLPF was introduced to make raw processing easier, but with increasing resolution it gets too much in the way. Nikon Eliminated it in the D800E version of the D800 - both 36MP and OLPF aside identical. We get more contour sharpness, better low light, larger colour space, more contrast envelope, and some impact on vignetting, from removal of the OLPF. But raw processing is more difficult and we frequently see noise (grain) in the blurry zones, low contrast zones, and dark zones of our hi-res images. I call that noise "Bayer noise" and if seen in images shot at, say, LV 10, then it is bluntly put, inadequate or failed raw processing. In trying to get Tri-X grain, you might want to use this effect. But you cannot get it by default in all cases. If you don't want the Bayer noise, then make sure to use an optional noise processor: in order of age, DeNoise AI in Topaz, DeepPRIME in DxO PhotoLab (as standalone plug in sold under PureRAW name), or Enhance AI Denoise in Adobe Camera Raw.

I cant see myself not using arca swiss ... 🦘

Easy solution: manually focus the manual focus lenses on an FM-2 inspired camera.

I don't think 'click up here' works on CZcams any longer. You need a link in your description now.

I bought the same adapter for a Nikon ZF, when I got the adapter in the box their was no watchmen to update firmware, any way when I mount a Sony G 24mm f2.8 to the Nikon ZF I can see what I want to photograph but the f stop on my camera screen doesn't register the f stop that the lens is set to and even though the camera was set to auto focus on the screen it shows manual focus, not happy with the setup I bought a Sony A7II open box unit from Adorama camera for 860 dollars, the camera came with a 28-70 kit lens and the price covered tax and shipping, the Sony A7II is a older camera but it is perfect for what I will use it for, it joins my camera collection of Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm and Nikon cameras.

Hi, how do you think about this plan if I buy this lens in E-Mount version with Megadap ETZ21Pro to use with Nikon Z8 instead of Z-Mount version, because I want to use this lens in with my Sony camera too. How accurate AF? Is it work fine?

Thank you for explaining. I swear I did not see Manage Picture Control before your video.

I’m sorry but I find it very difficult to hear your voice over the music. Good subject , pity on the execution…!

Does anyone know if the website presets sharpening values can be minimized before downloading to your computer? They all seem to be over sharpened as the default.

Just making sure you are aware that your vocals are only in the left channel. Thanks for the vid!

I had it in Neutral for a long time, after seeing this, I think I'll try Standard moving forward, this was awesome, thanks man.

Thanks, this is really helpful. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Hey i wonder what tripod you're using for your zf

Enjoyed your lens commentary, as well as the great photos of your beautiful family. Your son seems to have lots of personality! I’m a Zf owner as well. Subscribed.

For these picture controls de we need to adjust white balance to a specific value for each control or it does not matyer

Thank you for this video!

im sold

I like Nikon BW
