400mm f2.8 Z mount
>>
>>4181282
you should get a Shoten dumb adapter and whole suite of AIS manual lenses, fuck Z mount garbage
>>
>>4181681
This guy gets it. RF and Z mount lenses are disgustingly flat and soulless and if absolutely must have the sharpest glass just buy Sigma because at least its cheap.
>>
>>4181687
yannick khong started using modern lenses and now says "well actually maybe the glass or the coatings or something preserves microcontrast tonality transmissions" lol

It makes no difference. "rendering" in the consumer imaging sphere is a skill issue. You're not getting anything super special without paying out the ass for say, cooke cine lenses.
>>
24-120 f4, then you can decide what primes you want by what focal length you shoot the most.
>>
>>4181688
He still doesn't back down that a Nikkor 50mm f1.8 is extremely close to a Batis 50mm f1.8
>>
>>4181737
clinical sharpness is flat and boring, when will you understand there's more to photography than this shit? (i.e. subject and composition, charter and unintended defects)
>>
>>4181741
Zeiss Otus leness are dangerously sharp and still have great rendering, it's clear that the Canikon have chosen a shitty style of rendering and are sticking with it.
>>
>>4181741
User error.

You can’t buy talent.
>>
>>4181741
Reads like either buyers remorse from buying soft lenses or buyers remorse from buying a sharp lens but not being able to take a good photo with any lens

You can soften a lens infinitely with filters or post production but you can’t move the sharpening slider past like, 30. I see a sharp lens like giving a sculptor a bigger rock.

The fucking state of commies. A working white man has one nice thing made by actual human beings instead of $50 chink crap and all of a sudden it's conspicuous consumption. Why? Because the commie can't afford shit after their basket weaving degree and downtown apartment and they're jealous. Lemme guess kid you think driving anything but a used gook car is white privilege.

Get a job hippy. If you were too stupid and lazy to go to school for a real degree there's always construction and factory work. If my dad could walk into a steel mill and support a family of five right that day you can buy a stinkin $500 lens instead of some $50 lensbabble 7fartisans made in smal-dong zipperhead trinket. If you can't make at least $25 an hour in the USA you're probably too stupid to pass a piss test and show up for work on time and sober. If you still can't afford rent it's called a trailer park. Live in one. You might talk to some sane people for once.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 Lens
if you want just one lens that's convenient.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S
and
Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S
If you want primes with better image quality that you'll have to switch between

The prices on this shit are fucking comical. $700 and $500? For nikon's quality as of late?

I can get an 85mm f1.8 that is literally just as good from sony for $599 new, $400 used
I can get a 50mm f2.5 or 40mm f2.5 that is just as sharp and well made, and way more compact, from sony for $500, or a slightly worse 50mm f1.8 for $300

And if it's just a Z5 you don't even need LE SHAHP lenses. You could use tamron, samyang, sigma, viltrox etc lenses that are significantly cheaper and because it's only 24mp they will perform the same. Oh wait, Nikon sent everyone a C&D letter if they made an autofocus lens with an aperture+focal length combo that nikon already released or had planned. Sony doesn't have that problem. Enjoy buying a $250 paper thin adapter then.

lmao
Sony cucks have battered wife syndrome, you're getting almost 2 stops less for nearly the same price. Sony is a gimmick brand.
>>
>>4183025
F1.8 to F2.5 isn’t even a full stop and it’s less than half the weight of niggor’s equally sharp f1.8. Worth it if you aren’t a tasteless bokehwhore and want a small general use lens that fits in the bag next to the portrait prime, UWA, and telezoom.

I have literally never seen a good photo taken on a 50mm at f1.8 or wider.

You didn't make any points. You just cope about how you don't "need" something. You are mind broken
>>
>>4183045
We were both wrong amazing

>>4183046
I literally do not need it. There are larger lenses that are way better than nikon’s and I’m sure you think you don’t need those. Like the 55mm f1.8, which has beautiful rendering, or the 50mm f1.4 GM, which is probably too much quality for your wallet. I’m not buying either because wider apertures on lenses with so little reach are something i have never used. Back when everyone shot film I would only buy fast wide-normal lenses for the brighter viewfinder but stick to f4-f16.

Ok so why are you commenting on a Nikon thread?
>or the 50mm f1.4 GM, which is probably too much quality for your wallet
so are the lenses I suggested for OP too expensive or too cheap which is it? Those lenses are not too expensive and give you a lot of versatility in terms of aperture. Yeah I don't need the top end Zeiss lenses or whatever but anything faster that 1.8 is niche.

If you know better than me than suggest better lenses for Z mount
>>
>>4183060
Anything wider than 2.8 is niche.

ETZ adapter. The nikon 50mm f1.8 has soulless flat rendering
>>
>>4183063
Yeah ok bullshit reddit boy where is the source then ya poofter?
>>
>>4183063
All Z-mount Nikon lenses have soulless flat rendering. It's shocking and alarming to me that so few people are able to see it.
>>

I know you’re reddit but what am i?

I just received a Z5 and a 50mm f1.8S in the mail today. I have a Canon R6 since previously. Haven’t shot much with it yet but my initial impressions (first time trying a Nikon btw):

+ Significantly smaller and slightly lighter feeling than the Canon
+ Looks very cool (I prefer the square look vs the rounded Canon)
+ Lens much smaller and lighter than I expected
+ Colors SOOC seems nicer (but too early to tell for sure)
- Menu system seems very logical and straight forward

And now some negatives:
- LCD screen reminds me of my old Canon Rebel DSLR from 2006. It’s very low res and when in live view it shows a tremendous amount of noise and some lag. It feels like using a chink copy of the real thing.
- EVF is a bit better, but still noisy. It is also smaller than on the Canon. Overall this gives you the feeling of using a much cheaper camera than the R6 (which it is).
- The autofocus is slow and has a hard time locking on in lower light. I have yet to get the eye af to lock onto an eye. Will try again tomorrow during daylight. But so far I can tell it is way behind the Canon in terms of AF

I’m excited to shoot a lot with it tomorrow. It definitely feels cheaper than an R6 (and even a 6D) but other than that it is very nice to handle and it looks pretty amazing.
