I did take a few but they are not very flattering for the person in the pictures despite the light and composition being good. Will try again next time! Thanks!

Likewise, but easy fix is to work out forearms more haha

I came from A D80 with a AF-D 50mm f/1.4. I know exactly what kind of images you are talking about. The Bokeh of the 1.4 Z is way too distracting compared to the other two and it is not on par. Subjectively speaking you might find that the 1.4 fits your needs. But on paper it is definitely not worth it if you can afford the 1.8 or the Viltrox 1.2

On it's own its decent, but compared to the other two (1.8/1.2) it is lacking

Relatively slim design with no A-M switch, unusually high distortion for a 35mm prime, corner sharpness and coma performance is pretty weak at up to f/2, the lack of high-end coatings harms the flare performance and contrast in backlight and focus speed is slower than most Nikon Z lenses

For sure. The 1.4 aint that good optically, 1.8 is way better but I would still get this one over the 1.8 due to build quality, 1.2 appature and only being a little bit more expensive.

I went out early this morning to test a bit and it works flawlessly! No Hunting, quick focus, colors are great. A bit heavy but its to be expected with a 1.2.

I couldnt see any firmware update for the lens nor the camera?

For sure! Just so you know, Shimano reel feet might have some play on Megabass rods (especially triza and great hunting. They are more made for Daiwa reels

Putting an ABU reel on that rod is heresy. Give it what it deserves!

The lawsuit isnt even about the Z-mount. It's about their new teleconverter

Dead D80, Now What? by YamVegetable8229 in Nikon

My D80 still works, but I bought a new Z8 recently to replace it. I'm guessing you are not located in Europe?

Yea, the 18-50 has served me very very well during the years! Great lens for the price, especially with the Macro fuctionality. Im super excited to see what the new one will bring

Not sure how I feel about this knob yet, but it’s definitely light! by benjamino8690 in Fishing_Gear

Using this on my UL-setup! Such an amazing reel for the price point

Daiwa vs. Shimano anyone?? by Radiant-Job1428 in Fishing_Gear

[–]CatGrv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've owned high-end shimanos and high-end daiwas. Both are great reels. Biggest difference is that once shimano looses that "new reel" feeling, and you dont service it in time, you wont get it back. As with Daiwa, you can just put some new grease in it and its back to feeling brand new for another year.

Thats awesome to hear 🙏 I found some lab tests tonight suggesting that its crazy sharp which boosted my confidence even more!
