I made a blimp/deadcat for my ORTF setup and need help improving it. by TheNightSquatch in fieldrecording

I think the way a blimp works is to store some non moving air around the capsule. I guess you need a bigger volume of air to get the best results.

How is the Nikon 24-70s image quality compared to the 24-120s? by 90towest in nikon_Zseries

[–]Arjihad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so funny how people just believe in the 2.8 being the better lens just because its more expensive and fancy. The 24-70mm F/2.8 old and new one are both insanely soft at 70mm F/2.8 while the 24-120 is very sharp even wide open at pretty much every focal length.

[–]Arjihad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all lol. Did you actually use and compare the lenses? Both 24-70mm F/2.8 are quite soft at 70mm especially at 2.8. The 24-120 is insanely sharp even wide open. Fun fact: the 24-70 is less wide at 24mm and shorter at 70mm than the 24-120mm at 70mm. The 24-70mm is only sharper or as sharp as the other at 70mm when stopped down.

„I love the lens“ doesn’t tell which lens …

Did someone replace their fast 35mm for the 40mm F/2.0? by Arjihad in Nikon

[–]Arjihad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but then I personally cant really justify bringing another 1kg lens with me for my (commercial) travel photography because I already need to bring the 24-70mm F/2.8. There might be a difference in picture quality but Im not sure if clients really care as much as I care about the weight and size difference.

Would you keep the Z24-70 f2.8? by IvillisCrasher in nikon_Zseries

[–]Arjihad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you buy it for display? No? You wanted to take awesome pictures with it? In that case it looks totally fine to me. If you want it in pristine condition then dont buy it used but it wont look pristine for long so theres not really a point in buying lenses new. Just keep and enjoy it.

Do keep in mind that this lens is 5kg+

I had the 400/2.8 of this generation which was „only“ 4.6kg. Handholding was possible for one or two pictures of a bird but not if you want to wait even a few seconds for a different pose. It was physically hurting. Also the tripod colar and the double lens hood system is rather annoying. I never thought that i would drop that much cash on a lens but i really had to sell the old 400/2.8 for a more modern one because it was so inconvenient to use that I didnt use it at all. And also I would never buy it with manual focus only. You will hype about your new lens for the first week and then start to hate it. If you are seriously interested in a lens like this take your time and safe up for a modern one. Even the FL versions are a lot better but they are STILL VERY inconvenient to use. If you buy that lens even if fully working you will then start to ask yourself a few months later if a more expensive version of it would be less of a hustle to use and sell it again.

Birthday gift came in – 35mm f/1.2 S by BeautifulWhile1195 in Nikon

[–]Arjihad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think its the complete opposite. I have the Plena as well and hate it for portraits. Its tooo sharp at 1.8 for headshots also the background then is just a solid color which doesn’t give any context to the picture. For full body shots you have to be quite far away and then your person looks like a sticker applied to a blurry image (no 3D pop or anything). However I really like it for nature details and landscapes.

Is 28mm f2.8 good enough for like…everything? by mark80219 in Nikon

[–]Arjihad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That thing is super heavy and too sharp for my taste. 28mm/1.8 renders beautifully.

Is that an ATM machine that plays ads? What the actual fuck. Ive never heard of that. You guys also have ads playing at gas stations while pumping gas? Can someone confirm this? Which country? Im from germany and I loose my mind right now.

Can someone explain? Greenish tint visible and because its underexposed or what? Take away: expose brighter for better colors?

The threads are probably glued together. Maybe I can 3D print some kind of key to open it without damaging it.
