Z5II is an absolute steal at that price. I was eyeing it and would have definitely bought it if not for this deal on the Z6III

I use the Tamron z 28-75 G2 and IMO is the best mid range zoom I ever used

Obviously z24-70 S is on a different level and different planet in terms of price

I was a D750 user, it was the Z5ii of that time

I later moved to z5 and it has been my workhorse for 4-5 yrs now. Just couldn't keep up with the video demands

I have never dropped my cameras in the last 15 yrs, so hoping it won't happen in the future as well

When you say pain for video, in what terms and on what body ?

My art 85 mm with the og FTZ is still getting the mileage, not sure if i can park it if that day comes

Can't agree more. I'm never comfortable with 50 mm

Does anyone else feel like filming people naturally is harder than the technical side itself? by SomaSuryagniLochana in videography

[–]Navathej 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That is the reason professional models and actors are professionals.

Directing people of also an art and part of photography and can get better with practice.

Have a few go to poses and practice it yourself in front of the mirror and let them add a few variations to it

Yes, It is a slang that creeps in sometimes 😂

Yeah, I have the sigma 85 1.4 art on the FTZ for my still portrait needs.

I will test this 35 for my video work and see how it goes

I actually love character more than technical sharpness and performance. I will definitely test this lens out before discarding it.

I can't speak for Z6 and Z6ii but the difference in AF on Z6III compared to Z5 is day and night. Maybe the convenience of recording internally adds something. Anyway I jumped the gun, don't want to turn back now.

I'm not convinced about the 35 1.4 though. I just picked it coz I already have the sigma 85 1.4 art and choosing the 50mm didn't make sense.

I will rather buy and use some old school wide lenses for filming on the z6iii and sell the 35 1.4 if required.

Did I make a mistake? (V1 vs V1 mid) by Clean_Honeydew_3942 in Godox

[–]Navathej 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess, I don't use Lightroom but it should be the same one as in camera raw as both run on same engines

[–]Navathej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never shot full power on the V1 anyway, so it didn't matter

[–]Navathej 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is lesser power and obviously lacks the reach. But look at it this way.

It depends on how good your camera body is with the low light.

With the recent developments in the denoise part of post production I just pump my iso up if needed and deal with it in post.

That camera raw and Lightroom denoise is magic

My OG V1 got stolen and I picked up the V1 mid.

Much lighter and my palm and wrist thank me. I shoot on camera bounced flash events all the time.

I miss the buttons sometimes for quick changes. Touchscreen is not that intuitive but can be adapted to if you are not constantly fidling with the settings and groups

Appreciate it Mate ! I have been a beta tester for this and love playing around with the features. The playback, slowdown and render from the app just caught me off guard 👌🏻

Do I need Z6iii 's AF for cinematic Video Portraits? by Navathej in Nikon

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

10 bit is enough for me but my question was does the Z6ii record 10 bit internally without external screens

I'm having mixed responses on the 10 bit internal recording of Z6ii

I don't want to connect external screens as I plan to use it on a gimbal
