Night test of the Z6 and 55 1.2 S.C

At 1.2 low iso

at 8.0 iso 6400

nikon nikkor Z6 55mm 1.2 f8 iso 6400 Hillcrest night test 01 by Rafael Batlle, on Flickr

At 1.2 low iso, lens aberrations show poorly in lights but rest is sharp.

At 2.8 iso 450 it is all good, shadows pushed way up to max in processing hold very nicely.

Thanks Andy, got a link for those? Are they lightroom or PS, and compatible with older versions?

They were really pushing the lights this time since they had use of them. I do need to keep this lens in my bag more. Had the 84 f/1.4, 105 f/2.5, 135 f/2, and 28 f/2 on me, along with AF lenses.

You should check out presets by bjwok, Aussie photog, very cheap, great colour correction for stage lighting.

Here's 3 more reprocessed that I never posted, from Melbourne 2017. Check out the Bus Station roof ! As a former structural draughtsman that would give me nightmares

D7k, 20mm UD @ f5.6

I love the colors in the neon signs! The Z6 looks like the perfect complement to MF Nikkors.

Rafael - FYI... Dandelion chips on the lenses will give you focus confirmation on the Z6 in the viewfinder and in live view. Focus point goes green when in focus. But having 100% zoom programed to the front function button is hard to beat too.

Also registers correct aperture, but I think you have to set the lens to minimum aperture and control aperture with the front command dial.

Thank you George, I might try to build a chip into the FTZ adapter to avoid having to do all those lenses.

Thanks! That's a heck of a name, pretty rough for a kid. Guess I'll see if I can make them work in LR 4 and then bring them over to PS 6

A rainy, foggy and cold day in Knysna has allowed me to learn more about my "new" D7100 (yes I do envy Rafael and Mihai) but it has been very clear that there's a lot to learn, particularly with AF after some attempted bird shots were a total write off.

I also discovered live view zoom focusing but rather than share an image of a lens cap I took this shot through the window of a pink bougainvillea in the rain. Something to share.

I find myself enjoying the Z6 but composing poorly, too distracted with peaking highlights and buttons. I am sure this will become second nature and my composition will improve.

What I really like so far is noise-free, high iso performance, accurate MF focus, small size, no halos from dark to bright transitions (maybe a SW fix in Capture NXD). That is a lot to like. I have not found any banding even in extreme processing.

This string quartet was playing beautifully, need to learn who they are, we will hear from them in the future.

Strongly dislike those scooters, people ride them anywhere, need to stay on the road bike lane or be outlawed.

Great samples Rafael. Notice you are using Capture NX-D. If you are a Lightroom user you know that Z6 raw is not supported yet. But Adobe does support the Z6 in the Adobe DNG Converter 11.1 Beta release. Convert to DNG then take to Lightroom/Photoshop. Also ON1 Photo Raw 2018 supports the Z6 Raw files already.

Raphael,

Could be this amazing family 'de la Motte'.
Better take a wide angle next time since there are more than four.



I am enjoying the Z6 reviews btw

I am not tempting the fates any more this year, medically, so I'm having the surgery they're recommending in Feb. Woo hoo. not.

Hi, everyone:

Just returned from a little trip across the pond. These are from St James Park which is one of my fave places in London, the first being an old Pub. The weather for the most part was awesome specially for mid November plus the fall colors were an added bonus.

The first two are part of the WWI photo exhibit in the park in commemoration of the 100th years since its end. It was very well done.

Fuji X-E1 and Nikkor 50/2 K:
@f/5.6










Friendly park resident, Grey Heron @ f/4





Looking forward to checking out the 12 pages of MF action I've missed.
Regards,
Serge

We only had a quartet Colin, the remaining trio must have been on PTO.
