You need to include the F2.8 105mm macro when out and about. Best Z lens ever! From photographing a mushroom to taking beautiful portraits, it is hard to beat...
Your single most-used word to describe the quality of a lens is "micro-contrast", but unfortunately, after 20 years of doing photography as a hobby, I still have no idea what that word means. I would love to see two images of the same scene taken with a lens that has "bad micro-contrast" versus a lens that has "good micro-contrast", so that I can see the difference for myself. Bonus points would be given for comparison of lenses that "pop" versus lenses that don't.
Great video. The Plena is on my list!
For me, so far, it's the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art. Really extraordinary.
I agree these are all excellent. I wouldn't be without the 70-200mm 2.8 S, though. It's amazing...
I got the Plena two weeks ago and haven't taken it off my camera since. It's a lot of fun to shoot with! Three greatest lenses is so hard! I guess: 24-120, 20mm, and the 135z lenses. P.S. Don't button the bottom button ; )
I love my 24-70 f4 S Nikon lens! I hear the 24-70 2.8 is great, but I don't think the cost difference is justified over the f4 version. I agree with your other 2 choices for lenses! Great video! I would also add the 105 2.8 Nikon Z.
Hola, tengo una Nikon z30, estoy pensando comprar en comprar un nuevo zoom pero estoy entre el 28-75mm f 2.8 o el 24-120 f4, tu cuál elegirías hago foto para viajes y retratos y en pocas ocasiones paisaje, gracias por la ayuda
Saludos desde México
Hola, si haces más retrato que paisaje, agradeceras el desenfoque a 2.8 del 28-75. Un saludo desde España!
Really really want the Plena but it's so expensive (for good reason). I settled for the 105mm 2.8 AIS lens because i'm tryna practice shooting with manual focus more. I NEED THAT LENS THOUGH
Very good video. It's very difficult to say what ate the best 3 lenses. I own 8 Z- lenses and they are all very good.
I trust Glenn!
id say the z 24-70, 70-200 both 2.8s and the 85 1.2. but i guess ultimately it's what is for for purpose with what i want to shoot, each of my lenses have their purpose
what is the app you use to find locations to shoot?
This might sound dumb, but I just use Google maps and try to find locations that way. You'd be surprised what you can find
How about z50mm/1.2 ？
I wonder how these will feel on a Nikon zf
Nice video, but I think Nikon 24-70mm is out of the budget range
I agree the 135mm is very and that is even more out of the budget. I am not a professional and retire, so it is not going to happen. Too bad that Samyang is not coming with that focal length.
With the latter two lenses, I'm a bit confused as to why you would prefer the 14-30 f4 over the 14-28 f2.8 which is getting rave reviews for its image quality.
This video is based on what I own rather than what I don't own. I've only used the 14-30mm and not the 14-24mm. I have zero doubt in my mind that the 14-24mm is a fantastic lens, just haven't had the chance to use it yet!
@@TheProjectPhotography Well then you should mention that in the video, no?
@@CC3GROUNDZEROlet’s assume he owned both 14-30 and 14-24. These are HIS choices of lenses…what part of that are you not understanding?
@@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 You're late to the party. He already said that he simply hasn't used the 14-24, so it's missing as a frame of reference, and potential buyers of the 14-30 should be cautioned accordingly. What exactly is your problem with that?
@@CC3GROUNDZERO no, not really. I read that… Unlike these fictitious shoppers you’re mentioning, I use my eyeballs and absorb information. In your scenario, you’re implying that people should watch this single video, and run out and buy these three lenses. Anybody, even you, can understand that any product you’re going to spend more than five dollars on should be investigated for its pros and cons. Within that investigation, you will no doubt see the two lenses you’re referring to, compared, allowing you to then go do further investigation. I hope this clears up the confusion you appear to have.
The Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 is an awesome lens. It gets 👍🏼👍🏼 from me!
After spending a fortune on a Plena 135, then comes out the perfect Plena 105😩😩😩
I am not really a camera person but I just don't understand why Nikon aperture generally comes with 3.5 not 2.8?
Ranting.........
That 14-30mm f/4 isn't as nice as the Panasonic 9mm f/1.7.
The 9mm isn’t as nice as the 600mm 2.8. See how stupid that sounds?! Two different animals.
