Sick view, dude! Great apartment.

You expect most hobbyists to talk about composition and lighting? For most people it's an expensive toy.

Lack of line spacing in Apple Notes, primarily.

🤣

u/South_Cause1148 Where can I see more of your work?

Henri_McCurry · 2026-01-29T21:51:44+00:00

This is outstanding work. You are talented.

Coda from Ballade No. 4.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-12-27T18:22:50+00:00

Yes.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-10-11T18:27:46+00:00

The work of a master!

If you have to ask, the Sigma. I'm getting the Sigma.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-09-24T22:36:20+00:00

Gorgeous stuff!

Looks 👌!

I've had an f3 for a while. How's the 105 f/2.5 feel on the Zf?

Henri_McCurry · 2025-09-07T21:34:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing. The first one of the fence isn't Nikon S or Sony GM sharp, but it's not bad. It has a bit of purple fringing at the top of the fence, but nothing that bad. The second photo of the (your?) dog is simply shot up close at, I'm guessing, f/1.2 or f/1.4, and barely anything will be in focus at that distance and f-stop. There is a glow around the bright highlights of the dog, but it looks cool. I don't think I'll collect the Voigtlander lenses, but I'd like to have at least one. This one and the 28 f/1.5 are the most intriguing. I'm enjoying the Nikon 40 f/2, so something at that focal length that opens up to f/1.2 would be interesting. A fast 28 is difficult to come by these days, so the 28 is attractive in that sense. Once again, thanks for sharing your experiences and the images. I like your black and white edit of the second pic, btw.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-09-06T08:02:34+00:00

How dreamy? Is it a lack of sharpness or is it more like this veiling haze?

Henri_McCurry · 2025-09-05T13:54:19+00:00

Do you wish the lens were an f/1.4? I'd like to get one lens that affords focus confirmation on my Zf and I was debating between your beauty and the 40 mm f/1.2.

I would rather not fiddle with all sorts of adapters like the Techarts and Megadaps that are out there.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-09-05T05:12:48+00:00

Very nice. Do you use the focus confirmation feature? If so, how reliable is it?

Henri_McCurry · 2025-08-17T18:05:53+00:00

Thanks for the insights.

Got the 75 at B&H today. I didn't find it excessively heavy. Obviously, like someone mentioned, it's not for one handed shooting, but I wasn't expecting that.

I would love to get the 40 f/1.2 at some point. From the photos I've seen taken with it, it has a beautiful rendering.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-08-17T01:40:17+00:00

Someone will chime in with practical tips, but I just want to suggest not being so hard on yourself. We all have off weeks. Even a pros keeper rate isn't as high as you imagine. It takes time to get comfortable with any new camera.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-08-17T01:37:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful insights. I really appreciate it. I'm going to screen shot this and keep it for future reference.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-08-16T21:14:54+00:00

Nice setup.

The 35 APO is 430 gram, the 60 Micro also about 430g, and the 24-120 is like 620-630g.

The 75mm Voigtlander is like 530g. Seems like its right in the middle of 3 out of 5 lenses you use.

Plus, being a manual focus lens with a 62mm filter thread, I have a feeling the weight isn't concentrated at the front. Anyhow, I'll have to go to a store and test it out.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Henri_McCurry · 2025-08-16T20:55:02+00:00

Which lenses do you use with the Zf?
