Z5 II

Given the increased presence of full-frame in the midrange, it’s given me second thoughts on whether investing in APS-C is still worth it. My R7 plus this Sigma 17-40 F/1.8 is close to the price of a Nikon Z5 II plus a Tamron 28-75 F/2.8. That’s a precarious situation to be in if you’re a APS-C enth

Nice. I have a Z5 II and it's great, it's more camera than I will ever truly need, fantastic value, and I do like the slightly nicer full-frame look, although I am sure I would be very happy with a Z50 II, and I must admit sometimes the size and especially weight of the full-frame system can be a lo

Just ordered mine. To be honest, the value proposition of the Z5 II seems too good to be true as it is, even before considering tariffs. No other brand is providing a FF camera this full-fledged at this price currently in my opinion. Even if there is miraculously a sale somehow this year, I won’t re

I have the same camera and was thinking about the tamron 50-300 with etz adapter. (700€ + 100€) Alternatively the much bigger Tamron 50-400 (1000€) Keep in mind that the Z50 doesn't have IBIS, so you need a lens with stabilization . Kit Nikon DX 50-250 might also be an option, but in my experience i

Thanks everyone for their feedback. Everything I've read up until now has given me the impression that I would get better performance with full frame, which is why I purchased the Z5 ii. However, given these comments, I will be reaching out to Nikon to set up a return. Haven't even gotten it yet, bu

I’m looking for an 85mm lens for my Z5 II, which will mostly be used for wedding portraits. This will be my first 85mm lens. I have been shooting weddings on a D3300 (an APS-C DSLR) with 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 18-135mm, and DX 35mm f/1.8G lenses for the past 12 years. I recently got the Z5 II with the 2

Thank you. Only after I made post here am I getting great Nikon recommendation. I am convinced to go for Nikon unless I find great used deal for Sony. With all this said, I have yet to understand why is Sony gear pushed so much here in other subreddit, sony a6400/a7iii/a7ii + sigma is the 'killer co

Absolutely. There is nothing wrong with recommending buying into Sony or Canon, as long as there is evidence that Nikon (and ideally Panasonic too) was considered seriously. But so many people just blindly recommend (or lust after) Sony based on reputation rather than an objective appraisal of the c

Recommend Z5 II for full frame. https://youtu.be/lEHexydq2qc https://youtu.be/HifmepDejzg https://youtu.be/2c4MTrnCeeI https://thecamerastore.com/products/nikon-z50-ii-with-z-dx-16-50mm-f3-5-6-3-vr?_pos=4&_sid=68382168b&_ss=r

Here is my take. If you have to carry a camera bag you might as well carry a fully capable interchangeable lens camera. I combine the Nikon Z5 II and the Ricoh GRiV. I also much prefer 28mm fov over 35mm. When I’m just walking around the Ricoh. When I’m looking to shoot the Nikon. I love to document
