Some images from last night's Fury vs Schwarz fight card. All shot with a z6 and 24-70 2.8S.
Its my first combat sports event since receiving the 24-70 2.8S, and i must say its miles ahead of my F mount G. I normally use Dynamic AF in AFC for fighting since it mimics what i normally use with my d5 (i use d25); However with the new lens, im able to trust the camera/lens enough to use Wide-L and it worked perfectly. I literally placed the giant box on what i wanted to track and it nailed it every time. It was actually pretty eye opening. with the 24-70 F mount on FTZ, the accuracy wasnt there for that mode, it would tend to rack a little bit in Wide L, but with Dynamic AF it worked fine.
This opens a ton of new options for me when shooting action. Makes me eager to get the new 70-200 2.8S in my hands as fast as humanly possible, the native lenses seem to have open up the Z cameras more than I originally thought.
images were shot at iso5000, 1/1600, 3.2. d8 ON, viewfinder priority, Continuous H+, 1/2 focus points. ...Show more →
Time to unearth this thread. The 24-120 f4S has taken all of the love but the 2.8S is still one of my favourites. These images were from a recent commercial job which is a new genre for me (I typically just do portraits for paid jobs). I was hired to do images of several buildings for a masonry award and I quite enjoyed the process. Would love feedback as I consider if I should add this genre to my website for future work. I'll also post in a couple of other lens threads that don't see a lot of images. I don't own a tilt-shift lens or a drone and those limitations were known by the client ahead of time.
Surprised the love this thread has received has died off.
Recently picked up a z5ii and the 24-70 2.8s. I’ve had experience with the f/4 variation in the past but decided to splurge on the 2.8 as I always loved shooting my f mount 2.8 lenses wide open.
