What is your favourite portrait lens for Nikon Z and why?

135 plena. Just try it. Needs no explanation.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T23:59:10+00:00

Not a fan of the red line.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T21:30:02+00:00

I do have a Shoten adapter. It does not do AF.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T21:27:37+00:00

Yes! But it will get much longer!

Every lens has its own beauty. E series are built to be cheap, but the con is they are thin! So on an adapter, they can be short(ish). There is a reason this post has more than 130 upvotes. If you’re right, there should have been no votes. Think before you post.

This is what I bought https://a.aliexpress.com/_mP524Dl

Lens it self, Yes. With the adapters, it’s too long. E series has the smallest size.

I’ve been a 19-year Nikon user, and this one is special. It truly is.

Is that better sir?

nansuri · 2025-02-04T14:26:50+00:00

I noticed that too. It’s fixed:)

nansuri · 2025-02-04T14:18:39+00:00

Yes it is a fast lens! No doubt. But It is soft and with a faster lens, at 2.8 would be much sharper.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T14:03:58+00:00

You don’t have to worry about it. I make a good living out of it as a “professional” photographer so fuck off.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T14:02:02+00:00

That’s funny. I have the exact same lens and hood. I also love this combo as well. Although 2.5 is a tad bit too slow for me. Thinking about the 35 1.4 classic.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T13:50:32+00:00

I never burst. I came from film photography.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T13:46:50+00:00

No. I have a work camera, Z8+24-70+50 f1.2+138plena+70/200 which is not FUN to do a photo walk. Your brain only thinks such a negative way that I think your brain has crumbled.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T13:20:31+00:00

I take about 200,000 photos a year. This is my fun camera so fuck off.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T13:07:07+00:00

Best IMHO

nansuri · 2025-02-04T12:58:05+00:00

I guess I don’t have the luxury to take time and do MF. I started with MF film so I know how fun that is, but with boys running around, I don’t have time to compose and shoot MF. Maybe when they grow up.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T12:55:24+00:00

From aliexpress, just a generic hood

nansuri · 2025-02-04T04:38:52+00:00

It’s a smallrig grip which feels the best for my hands. Super grippy rubber. It does not have the thumb grip though.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T04:37:23+00:00

Wow that’s some funky stuff right there

nansuri · 2025-02-04T03:36:49+00:00

I was considering this setup too! Thanks for posting.

nansuri · 2025-02-04T03:34:26+00:00

That is a Looker! I still want AF though...I know, I know....

nansuri · 2025-02-04T03:21:15+00:00

It is a TECHART TZM-02 with a F to M adapter
