Nowadays you NEED only 24-70/2.8Z 95% of time if you have modern Nikon camera like Z8/9. You may crop a picture 200%-300%, maybe add some contrast and sharpness in PS and it will be still good for any social platforms. But all we WANT dozens of lenses and gear )))

I enjoyed this video. However I found that the example photos were not shown long enough to view the photos and the exposure information. I could either view the photo. And then it would change before I could view the text. I hope you dont mind me saying....not all of them...

In answer to the unasked question of the entertainment value of this review - Oi'll give it five. Questions, questions: How much heat does it throw off? What's it like with the diffuser cover on - how diffuse is diffuse?

Thats why the FTZ has its own tripod mount

I’m still using the Nikon D5200 atm😂 I’m saving up for the zed 8 for its wildlife tracking

Nice shots. I would love to test a Nikon Df with some old lenses

Compare the new Tammy 50-400 to the Nikon 100-400! 🙂

Because you don't know how to hold a camera making lots of BS. No matter how big or small, with grip or without or with big or small lense, camera is held on left hand and your right hand is only for dials and adjustments and eventualy pressing shutter button.

Dumping my ZF tomorrow. It is like dating a hot girl with bad breath.

Really enjoyed this! Funny, relaxing, inspiring. And this: "It is nice to meet people to talk to...but not too much". I agree :) Also like to see the D700 out and about. That camera made me switch to Nikon, and I absolutely loved it.

great video - you need a power pack !

I and my Nikon D850 crashed to the ground, after stepping in a pothole in the roadway….sprained my wrist and cracked the lens flange and scuff up the body. Fixed the body for $580 CAD…but kept the scuffs as war wounds!

Hi Russ another great video thanks. I have raynauds and have found sealskinz heated gloves to be brilliant. I wear them cycling in the winter and also for photography - they are thin enough to be able to operate most controls on z8/z9. You can get additional batteries too. Give them a try. Otherwise the charcoal hand warmers are pretty good tucked inside a glove. Don’t let your hand get cold - harder to warm them up once the vasoconstriction has kicked in

For your hands do a search for "convertible glove mitten" Combine a pair of those with very thin nylon/lyra knit gloves inside and you should fare better. An inexpensive pair of USB chargeable hand warmers can be kept in your pockets to give warmth when you need it. On a low setting they should provide heat all day. As for batteries, take a couple for each device and swap them between some spot close to your skin and the device OFTEN so they don't get too cold.

Have a coffee on me. 👍🏻

Russ: Here, -4C is considered a warm day. On cold days, I wear mitts big enough so that I can wear gloves inside them. I like shooting on days -30C and colder to get the steam coming off the buildings. An American friend of mine recommended the Ocoopa hand warmer, model OC-H01(PD). They have enough power so that you can use them to charge your camera also. Carry the hand warmer either inside your oversized glove/ mitt or in you coat pocket. I don't need them but a friend of mine does. they also work as a lens warmer to keep the fog off your lens. I made jackets for my cameras out of an old pair of wool pants. Works great. Carrying anything in your hands is bad for circulation, it slows down your blood flow to your fingers. I carry 2 spare batteries in a battery case that fits on my belt, it comes with me all the time, no matter what the temperature as I run my batteries down to they show red in the viewfinder before replacing them. Put your camera and lens inside a freezer bag before you take it inside. This will prevent moisture from condensing on it while it warms up. A great video again.

Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I appreciate this so much more than when UA-cam creators tell me about the ‘5’ things that I am doing wrong or the ‘7’ ways that I could improve. This video just inspires.❤

D700+35 f/2d is an amazing combo!

Excellent video yet again and fantastic

Enjoyed your video and lovely shots!

Sadly i don't think there is a quick fix for cold hands in gloves, no matter how warm the manufacturer claims them to be. I live in norhtern Norway, and the only sollution is mitts in my experience. (i spend a lot of time outdoors...) Love the shots, you're making me fall in love with my D700 all over again 😍

Hi Russ, another enjoyable video and some nice images, thanks for sharing. Re cold fingers, I wonder if you've got a touch of Reynaud's syndrome starting... or hopefully, just need some better fitting / warmer gloves. There are some specifc types of photographers gloves with little finger caps that might be of help, obviously not cheap, but anything that keeps you pushing the shutter button is often a good idea. .. and as for warming up, a fish finger buttie is hard to beat!

Thanks, what about printing 12mp photos?

Re cold fingers/poor circulation. I suffer too and have found one part solution, if it is not as simple as too tight gloves. While walking between shots when you won't be using your camera make fists inside your gloves effectively making your gloves into mitts. Your fingers will soon thaw out although you do need a camera bag or strap instead of hand carrying. PS - The cold kills batteries. Keep spare batteries and as many devices as possible in internal pockets to benefit from body heat.

Lovely shots! Thanks for the vid!

58 f1.4 the best lens for me

I have the Nikon Z 70-200mm 2.8. I have 2 issues with the camera lens. It’s very heavy and I don’t like the zoom ring at the end of the lens. I’m not going to sell it because it works great and it’s very sharp. ❤❤❤

Thanks I enjoyed your review and look forward to more interesting reviews.

I like the size and weight of these Yongnuo lenses. Can you review the 35 and 50mm and let us know if the 85mm is just a one off in the range or if the others perform as well...

I was shooting a waterfall with my x100t and the tripod slipped and the camera went for a dive, when I pulled it out it water was pouring out of it, I pulled the battery and sd card out and went into OMG mode drying off as much as I could, afterwards I sent it to Fujifilm for repair and they said there was nothing wrong with it... apart from a little bit moisture in the battery compartment PHEW... near miss

So sorry! What a bad feeling!

I would never have bought another! Sure well smashed but a real Leica, could be repaired.. Also what about insurance? I don't use wrist straps! Use both lugs! In the pitfalls of daily use, I use battered old cameras that are easily replaced.. Good Luck!

Loz-sorry for your loss and congrats on the upgrade. It sucks losing a “Limited Edition” especially a numbered one. Here I was warning you about the Osmo getting knocked out of your hands in the crowded streets of NY and this happened. And yeah, the floors in FAO Schwartz is unforgiving (and uncomfortable). Here’s to many years with the Q3.

Years ago, I had a D3000 with the 55-200mm kit lens and coming home after its first “outing” at a football match, my wife dropped it getting out of the car. Fortunately, it fell on grass! My wife just froze and stared at me after her blunder (we’re still married 😂)

Hi Guys, I scrolled past your Vlog as the title made me wince. I did however scroll back and watch it. Ouch 😫 I feel your pain as the thought of that with my Q3 😢 I like you have never taken out insurance. 3 hours after watching your Vlog, I have insurance. Thank you 🙏 Enjoy your Q3

Dropped mine one time and fixed it for 1700€ 🤣

Curious: did you show off your YT influence creds to get the discount from Leica? Or did you introduce yourself as a "standard" customer?

Fantastic end of story - a discounted new leica Q3 upgrade .. Wow! Unfortunate front end of your story but we’ve all made those errors. But, terrific that Leica worked it out with discount offer. Don’t know how you had the will power to wait to take the first Photo shot. Looking forward to your impressions on the new Q3. This better trade off - than a certain someone’s heavy f2.8 400mm to haul around…. Kidding..

Not sure if PPA is in the UK, but it covers up to $10k (whooo that rhymed)

What a great decision! I’ve owned both and far prefer the Q3 with the exception of a couple small issues

Lovely display of logic whilst incorporating GAS! Lovely viewing.

Dropped a motorcycle in a car park in Sweden because I spotted a bird poop on the tank. Reached over to flick it and knocked it off the side stand. Broke my heart.

Feel the same about my Fujifilm X100F. Never going to replace with newer model unless fails. Fujifilm no longer fixes old cameras.

Sad and Happy for ya Loz. Only thing I have that falls into the "your a dumbass" category is the time I found a small dust particle inside my Stellervue astrophotography telescope and used a compressed gas can duster to completely screw it up. Luckily I sent it back and they took it apart and cleaned it all up. Enjoy your new toy.

I got excited about a moose and set my Nikon n90s on a tripod with a 500mm lens, but didn't tighten the Arca Swiss plate so when I let go of it it fell to the pavement. Everything seemed to be okay until that winter in the frigid cold of Wyoming when the camera started rewinding the film in mid-roll. I sent it to Nikon and they said the magnesium frame was broken and they gave me a discount on a refurbished F100. I theorize that in the freezing cold the metal contracted and put more resistance to the film advancing. It was all auto film advance and rewinding in those days.

I insure with Eversure here in the UK. Like you say, I won’t know until I claim, how good they are. Even if you just insure the Leica as an amateur, if you genuinely aren’t using it professionally.

Wouldn’t have broke if it was a Nikon!

Sorry mate, but seems you came out on top! Surprised that it was so damaged with a 1 meter (ish) fall. Careful with homeowners insurance rider. I had mine declined when I had a D80 kit stolen out of my car, they claimed I was selling my photos on line (Flickr), considered me a pro even though I didn't get most of my income from it.

Ouch how terrible! Smashing a Leica is a sign of luxury nobody wants.

I remember that video of the unboxing of the Q2 and I bought the Q3 later and Love it. Sorry about the Q2. You will get it back awhile later but I am wondering if they are going to use the Daniel Craigs Parts. Sorry. Cheers!
