#NikonZ7 #500mm #RawFiles
Thanks a lot for this video and especially the link to the RAW files. Much more helpful than some of the reviews I've seen on UA-cam about this lens.
I clicked so fast. Great information as always but I just wanna say thanks for keeping these videos coming! You're doing great. Cheers
Awesome! It looks like Nikon finally has something that can autofocus for video decently. I’d like to see more of that. Would be super cool to see it matched up with an External recorder and see what you can do with the 10 bit files it can send out. It would really be cool if someone would compare it to a digital cine camera. Love the information your giving though! Keep it up!
I really enjoy your reviews of the Z system. thank you for all your hard work
The Z7 is amazing when the TCIII is used. I have used it mounted on my Nikkor 300mm f/4 vr and the 420mm pics are outstanding. My D3 now rests in my equipment closet. I have not tried my 200-500 lens on the Z7 yet but it is a bit much for my aging body. The 500mm F5.6 PF looks like a solution. Subscribed.
Subscribing.... very nice stuff. You talked and showed the pictures. This is how camera and lenses impressions should be done. Loved it.
Nice Video! like it! Keep up... It would be nice if you could do videos of the Z7 with different style of shooting (landscape - portrait - astro - sports - Wild life etc...) & your setting used + of course the Tutorial Video of Z7 with all the options. thx
This is very helpful, thank you. It would be interesting to see your LR adjustments on these images.
Thanks Ricci - really helpful - I'm waiting for the Z6 as I'm a hybrid event shooter. It'll be a lot of single point touch AF for me, I'm looking forward to using the rear screen a lot more to save my back and neck from those nasty little aches I get. The IBIS will be a nice touch as well.
I would like to see some shots from the 500pf with the D850
Great job....I have a Z7 and waiting for the 500mm ...soon I hope...
I think that my self, and the rest of the 1,2 TN followers is here because of your simple, yet pedagogic way to explain things. And we know you are working for Nikon. I do not now if you do the videos on your free time or on your paid time ... but the way you talk, about the cameras feels true. It is not a commercial saying how great the cameras are. And it is not a youtube channel trying to find a fault just to get new clicks ... You really feel trustworthy. And we can see that you know what you're talking about. Thanks for nice videos!
And the answer to your question:
Yes of course I like to see a Z6 video. Also it would be nice to see some various videos about D850. ... I think that I will not be so interested in a D500 video soon. I am planning to sell mine when the Z6 arrives ... I will have the D850 and Z6 in my camera bag. :)
I would like to see a thousand z6 videos
Nice video Ricci. Would really appreciate if you can make an in depth review of Z7. How the camera performs in different situations with different lenses. Good luck. :)
I found this very interesting as I have just order this lens, I have the 300mm pf and that work very well, so thank you. I would like ti see the Z7 been used in the studio with either 85mm f1.4 or the 105mm f1.4 as I think that is one area that may let this camera down a bit. But they are just tools and I would like to bet a lot of photographer who get the Z7 will have more than one body. Thanks for your great videos and yes I am one of your new subscribers and enjoying it to.
Thank you for this..
I’m looking to purchase the 500mm pf to use with Z6. I’ve been looking for information on how well the 500mm pf performs with the FTZ adapter so found you video gave me the information I needed..
I'd like to hear what you think of the af speed with this combo, with or without tc, compare to nikon 200-500 f5.6, nikon 500f4. Thanks.
Hi Ricci, yes it's been very helpful! Definitely would like to see Z 6 videos, I've got one on preorder, like to see low light stills. Also keen on understanding the Z6 AF-C and how it performs with autofocus as compared to Z7, maybe some football or BIF? And everything about Z6 video capability where it looks like a monster set of features, IBIS plus digital stabilization, focus peaking etc.
Thanks Ricci - I’d like to see more shots with that nifty PF 500 and the 1.4 extender! Thanks, Mercury ... I’m shooting with the D850 & the 200-500 f5.6.
Super Ricci good job
For me there is to much on the Camera specs. Lenses make my work so I want info on the lenses for nature and wildlife. The D850 is so good and want to see how the 500f5.6 compare to the 300 f2.8 plus TC1.7/1.4/2.0 also the 200-500.
Thanks for this video on the lens (don't care about the zeds) - you asked for suggestions - OK here's one. I've been told the pixel pitch on the D500 and d850 are almost identical and if you ramped a D500 sensor to full frame size keeping pixel pitch the same you would end up with an approx 45MP sensor. If this is true - which camera is better for bird photography and bird-in-flight photography or are they the same? I guess there are numerous considerations when trying to test for this but that's why we pay you the big buck. Are you game to figure it out? Thanks and new 500mm f5.6 on D500 and D850 would be nice too.
thanks for the video.500mm pf looks quite interesting.we'd like to see review of the 's' lenses too.
Great video that’s. As a d850 owner who mainly shoots wildlife I am interested in the z7 due to its light weight. Your shots here look good but I wonder if you could do a video showing the continuous af and tracking capabilities for the camera. There are a few videos online which seem to suggest that the hit rate while continuously focusing can be a bit hit and miss, not tracking so well. Would be good to have your thoughts on this in comparison to the d850. Cheers and keep up the good work
Very nice beautiful pictures
A great piece again. I wanted to see the camera settings , but found none. It's very helpful to see them along the editing histories in LR.
alandal alandal at the start of each shot you will see the camera settings in the top right below the histogram
As soon as I move the mouse over the image the settings disappear
@@RicciTalks thanks. Yes, I see them now. It looks like you kept F number and SS at the constants and let iso change.
Ricci, Excellent videoes. Can you please create 1 video of your settings OR the best settings you suggest. Also, what software are you using to edit your NEF files? Thanks
Thanks for the thoughtful video. When you get the chance with the Z6 please could you compare AF vs the Z7 - esp the Autofocus tracking in good/low light and in photo/video? Cheers!
Good video. Had I not changed from Nikon to Sony, I would have sold my Nikkor 300mm PF ED VR and Nikkor 200 - 500mm f5.6 in order to purchase the 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR. It would have made a fantastic combination with my D500 and TC14EIII for wildlife. Damned expensive lens though, but the weight saving and optical brilliance would have made it worth it.
great and informative, I have the D850 and wonder how the new 500 mm lens will perform on this camera, do you have any video/ experience with this combo?
Fantastic.
Want to see more on Bird in Flight. Specifically with 500 f5.6 pf and 300 f4 pf and 200-500 f 5.6 vr.
thanks for the video, can you please test the autofocus (still images) of the z7 with moving subject indoor like kids playing turning thier head, and the face detection autofocus do you end getting images focused on eyes or nose or is it random on the face. thank you again for your videos
Nice little video, would you say this is much better then the 200-500mm ?
could you do a comparison and possibly on a DSLR :)
Could you please describe your opinions/experiences with bird in flight tracking with the D500/850 vs the Z7. That 500mm pf is next on my list for sure. Thanks for the reviews.
Which focus mode did you find best for bird photography,
Thank you! I would like to buy this lens (hopefuly!) and hearing it works well with Z bodies is what I needed to convince myself a little bit more.
If you check out my instagram account @nikonricci there are some new shots with the Z and thins lens
do you like the Z7 above the D850 or do you have the D500, i downloaded the files and iso1600 looked like it had some noise ... thanks for showing the files...impressive
If you can manage a demo on the new 500 PF's A/F with a D850 in tracking BIFS it would be really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
i want you to do video pls on the focus system of z7 and sports action autofocus mechanism thx.
Are you gonna make any videos about z6? Maybe comparing low light capabilities?
Are these straight out of the camera images? By the way, you are doing an amazing work testing the Z7!! Congrats!
Can you test the VR on the new 500mm f5.6 Nikon lens? some that I talk to have some problem with unsharp pictures and bad working VR on the lens.....
Wow ! I like it ! I can see that the AF is quite good, the Kingfisher is totally in focus - What is your personally experience with the AF system ?
Nice video and presentation. A comparison of images between 200-500 at 500mm,f5.6 and the new 500pf at 500,f5.6 of the same image and also their auto focus speeds should be well appreciated. Thanks.
How does the autofocus of the 850/500 compare with the z series?
Hi Ricci, I've read through the comments but there was no info, have you ever shot the 500 PF on a D500 or compared it to the 200-500? Would be glad to get some info on this. Great content btw, also love your new Z Lens comparisons! Hopefully the new 200-600 will be as great!! Cheers, Dirk
Ciao Ricci, are you planning to make a review of this lens with the z7ii?
I’m a bit late to this one. Wondering if you have a Z7ii with latest firmware? I’m looking at potentially getting the Z7ii but wondering how this lens performs with it. Of course, I’m also hoping along with the Z9 coming out tomorrow we’ll see another much needed update to focus tracking on the Z7ii. Thanks
Hallo
Very helpful video.
Please test this objective on d500 with teleconverter.
Sincerely yours
Hello, which teleconverter are you using? TC 1.4 III ? Thanks.
I like this guy
Nice video, i have a Nikon D850 and would like to see a video with the new 500mm PF Please.
Will be upgrading from a Sigma 150-600 C many thanks
Awesome videos, Ricci.
I'm looking to buy and start building my first nikon system.
Would you recommend I go with the d850 or wait and buy a z7?
AcidicDelusion buy the D500 if you want to do bird or wildlife......750mm lens and 10fps......
Get a Fuji xt3 mate. ..
D850 if you got the money - it's a do everything type of camera - especially if you get vertical grip and a EN-EL18 battery for the grip. Otherwise a d500. Neither the d500 nor d850 require an adapter to use all the great nikon glass that's out there.
@@matthewbell1968 I have an xt2, but I find my dslr nails focus far more regularly, although the focus on the xt3 has improved....
Is the VR as great as 200-500mm?
Would like to see the focusing abilities of this lens on the z6 ii
Will the 500mm pf pair up ok with my d850. Rodders.
Make review of Z7 afc burst in birds in flight...and show the all image of burst
Hi Ricci, what would you get on the Nikon z7: 500mm 5.6 pf or 70-200 Z 2.8 vr s + 2x teleconverter?
Please answer this excellent question! We are eager to get your considered response. And another thing, whether the f mount teleconverter can use all the focus points upto f/11 with the Nikon 500mm PF with the Z7.
Can you please test the z7 with a 3rd party lens?
When shooting the bird in flight, what AF setting did you use? Do you recommend any particular AF setting, or any AF setting that you have found in your own usage, that works well for fast moving, or erratically moving objects? I'm really looking forward to the Z6 reviews as I have one on pre-order. Thanks for the great videos.
nplateau still testing to find out what mode I prefer on the Z7 & Z6 so when I know I’ll probably do a video on that.
Hi, i have a question about the Z6/7 firmware 3.. with the very promising AF tracking (the white box) , it would be ideal if it could track birds in flight now far better.
The reason that I did skip te Z system so far... people with a limited budget would like the have the newest mirrorless technique on a second hand prime like te more affordable 500mm f/4D ED-IF AF-S II NIKKOR + FTZ adaptor in combination with the IBIS in the camera, best of both worlds for a great price... more expensive mirrorless A9 + zoom versus the Z6 + second hand primes..
Are you planning a test for birds in flight in combination with some long lenses like the 200-500, 500PF or for our group more interesting , a older prime lens...
Maximum fps , no EVF blackouts , maximum speed in focus and best tracking options.. if the EFV is just a viewer, the exposure is fixed at the first frame, we do not care that much.. we need a stable "look" trough the finder more.. and trust the mettering system to choose well at the first attempt.. if the light changes you can just start a new focus/exposure session , no problem
awesome to ear that ive just hiwd the pf 500mm for weekend as have a project will let u know later in due course on instagram wll reveal all great video as usual what would like to know is what r the buttons on the les mean i have 4 and have different signs but nit sure what they mean
what do you think is a better pairing with the New 500mm 5.6 PF...the D500 or the D850?
Depends what other lenses ur going to be using but I mostly always choose my D850 over my D500
The hottest topic would be a comparison between D850 and Z7!
I'd like to see more Nikon Z series Camera tested with FTZ adapter with non Nikon lens like Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 lens and sigma prime lens that are native Nikon.
Sports photography with continuous burst shots in low light and sunny. Such as soccer, indoor sports
No lens hood?
Why not just use a D500 with that lens? I mean great to show us the z7 but a 1.4 that stops or a crop they keeps your 5.6?
In general you like the Z7. I have the D800 and A7rii, and the D800 is way better than the A7rii for general photography, Now I want to move out, but not sure of the Z7 yet.
Hi, not something to drop here, but i like to try to get a adres : does Nikon have a "idea box" to post a thougt or a idea from a users prospective... or if they could manage this or that , point the enigeers in a direction, Nikon can keep the wildlive groups on board , have the system with te most lenses on release instantly.., mybe it is a stupid idea, maybe not.. maybe there is no idea box.. maybe Nikon will never read it if there is one... what do you know about this ?
why is it not very sharp? a little mushy for that high megapixel. i think d850 has far better sharpness
I would like to see in actual wildlife shooting, if this lens can resolve much beyond 24 MP, full frame. From my experience the atmosphere, higher ISO needed with it's grain, and lens sharpness, limit the sharpness / IQ more than the MP count.
D500 with 500pf and teleconverter PLEASE.
I can already say that it is very unlikely the d500 + 500pf + teleconverter would be a good choice. I am the sure the d500 with just the 500pf would be great, but the crop sensor already loses a stop of light, so with a tele also you are looking at f/11. As a wildlife photographer an aperature that low should make you cringe, as light is already always a struggle, not to mention the greater depth of feild, and slower AF do to lack of light.
d500 with the PF.....more please
500 f4 vs 500 f5.6!
proper sharpness comparison plox
Z7 and Z6 please
Were you aware that when shooting this lens with a lens adapter on the Z6/7 that the lens VR mechanism runs continuously. The resulting noise is annoying and the drain on the battery and mechanism life is concerning. Such does not occur on a DSLR. Should VR just be turned off and depend on IBIS when using Z-bodies?
Hi, i have been using a 500 Pf on a d500 for a few weeks now and having had the use of most other Nikon lenses over the past few years i can vouch for the ability of this combination. The 500 Pf is awesome in all aspects, my birds flight shots success has improved very much, it focuses very quick and is extremely sharp, the D500 stays on the subject very well. Of course you need a good technique to get the best from the kit, i cannot praise the lens enough for me its the best piece of kit i ever owned, it will go to the grave with me. If you are pleased with the 200 -500 Nikon and can live without the zoom capability then you will love the 500 Pf. I can send some images if required. good luck, Pete. UK.
Gee, I was really hoping to see you get some close shots of some birds so we could see what sort of detail was being achieved with this lens in particular. I would love to see what a serious hobby bird photographer could get from this lens and or combo, unfortunately the snaps you took tell me nothing about how good either the lens or the combo are for bird photographers who are interested in spending some serious coin on the 500mm lens and or the entire combo.......really disappointing that there is very little on the internet about this new lens......
Gary Haigh Ive been using the 200-500 for about 12 months now and itching step up to a big prime but the cost of a 500f4 is just not realistic for a hobby bird photographer, even a real ken one. Nikon are not doing themselves or us bird/wildlife photographers any favours by almost ignoring this lens.....mind you this lens is going to be a $6000.00 item in Australia but there are still numerous people interested.......frankly I dont want to see "professional" photographers doing reviews on this lens or in fact on other camera stuff, I Want to see what your average hobby shooter can do with stuff, you know the people they are trying to sell the products too?
It's a nice camera and lens but for the subject matter your photographing the D850 leaves it behind, if I shot wildlife or sport I wouldn't touch a Z7.
Nice video I could do without the music...
I like your videos a lot. But ...not a fan of the soundtrack here. Just me
This is a nice lens, but is not for full frame camera unless you are shooting in a zoo. With D7200 and this lens will be my perfect wildlife setup. With the 750mm F5.6. Why D7200 and not D500? Simply because I just don't like D500 :) D7200 has more MP's and it's 3 times cheaper! The AF points are just enough to ketch any flying object in any distance.With the best Dynamic range!
Stop calling it zed 7,it's Zee 7.
Not impressed at all. This lens should be combined with a D5, D500 or a D850 (or D3S. D4, D4S for that matter). Since it is a sports and wildlife lens...
