If the histogram is toggled on but still doesn’t display in VF in photo taking mode is there anything else that needs to change?

New updates today ?

In another video you should upscale a 15MP photograph from the 60MP sensor and compare it to the same scene shot at 60MP. There you will discover that there is only a very minor difference, some extra sharpness in the green channel. That is because each pixel only measures 1 colour (RBGG per Bayer micro-lenses) and the rest are interpolated. This is why the Leica monochrome cameras are such sharpness beasts!

Probably worth mentioning that this 60MP sensor is most likely made by Sony, possibly with tweaked micro lenses. The performance and specs are otherwise identical.

Thanks for your very thorough, interesting and honest assessment of this lens. I’m just about to order the GFX100s Mark 2 - I think this lens will be my very next purchase.

Just a warning. I lost images from my SL3 during a wedding. They simply disappeared. After lots of discussions with Leica, they released a letter to me stating that they are experiencing this issue with many other customers, and are working on a firmware update to resolve this. They state that... "Unfortunately, with the current firmware of the Leica SL3, the camera malfunctioned in individual cases, which can lead to images that have already been saved being overwritten unnoticed. We deeply regret this. Our highest priority is to restore the perfect functionality and usual reliability of your Leica SL3 as quickly as possible. To this end, we are working intensely with our development team to provide you with a firmware update to fix the error as soon as possible." Please be careful!! Apparently it happens when changing batteries out. The camera goes back and records over your images using the same file numbers, so there's no way to recover them. It's insane!

Thank you for sharing all the research you've done! I'm getting the Z8!

Very informative videos. Do you offer private tutoring for the X2D?

spot on analysis. I am returning my 2.8. why spend $1,300 more not to mention the extra weight. I will get the f4. Great analysis, thank you!

I just purchased this Camera and your Tutorial is fantastic .Im sure I will reference it plenty of times .A big THANK YOU.

Great instructions! Thank You

The comparison would have been more useful taking the same images

The body of all three lenses is carefully designed to be dust and drop proof for increased reliability, and all three lenses do not guarantee complete dust and drop protection in all situations and conditions - as stated in the specifications for each lens on the official website. Thus, The NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 lens has no advantages in terms of protection against splashes, everything you show in the video is not a fact, but just your opinion. There is no doubt about the optical quality of the NIKKOR Z 26MM F/2.8, but it also costs almost twice as much as comparable lenses. There is no doubt that the 40/2.0 SE and 28/2.8SE lenses are excellent lenses for every day and considering their cost, the quality of the resulting images is at a more than decent level.

thanks for you always professionell Videos. The only Question for me is to keep the ZF, or switch to Leica Q3?

Impressive volume of work in making this video!

Great scientific investigations!!! Thank you for your hard work! Very impressive and interesting to watch!

Thanks you so much , you are the master , your video is helping us the amateur hobbyist a lots . . ❤

At 19.55 the window is sharper on the apo lens, the is some difference between rhe 2 lenses in sharpness in the night test imo, thank you for the review!

Looking the Hasselblad is the future before the leica 100mp for the last edition haha, i think so.

compare Hasselblad x2d.

Important to note that latest ETZ21 Pro adapter works perfectly, but that earlier versions like to regular ETZ21 did not.

Z9 all the way!!!

New sub here. The D-Lux 8 looks very nice but might be hard to purchase as i already have the D-lux 7. Great video!

It would be interesting if you could make a video about the methods of reducing the amount of pixels in a camera. I think that Leica does NOT use PIXEL BINNING as you called it in your video. This might be a detail as the video covers fully other topics. But as a matter of interest it would be great to fully understand what pixel binning does compared to other methods.

hi thx for your video but in your opinion which one is delivers better sharpens and quality this one or the Fujifilm GF 32-64mm f/4 ps on the GFX100Sii thatI'll be buying shortly

Between this and fujifilm xh2 which one do you prefer?

Thank you for the trip to Singapore I enjoy very much your photos. Specially the panoramic one!

Ooh look everyone a pair of panasonic lx100s...still..beautiful click sounds ehh? 😂😂😂

do you think 26mm is wide enough for traveling or do you prefer wider lens like 24mm? I want to buy this lens but im afraid it is not wide enough since i used to 24mm lens

Nice images! The 26mm 2.8 seems like a durable/useful lens.

Your grip appears bigger than the small rig. Is that what you're using or something else? BTW, great video!

Thanks for yet another great video especially about the Nikon Zf camera which I just purchased. When I first began watching your slide show of Singapore I was struck by the lack of people milling about then I learned that it was early in the. morning. What a beautiful city !! I have also become interested in astro photography so I am going to purchase the Z mount Viltrox 16mm 1.8 AF lens if there are any left on the shelf. Its getting quite a bit of attention on RUclips even by photographers I respect and trust. Regards, Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

May I ask you opinion SB34 your recommend put in front of DB or behind the lens? E.g my Len is 90mm look forward your reply thanks

Hi Math, On my X2D 100c on the 90mm lens, can I simply crop into the centre of the image, for example to 5000 x 4000 pixels and end up with the same sharpness as the original full size image except I now have a more enlarged view of my subject. I want to use the 100megapixels of the X2D to save me the expense of buying longer focal length lenses but don't want to sacrifice the great Blad quality of the images. Is his a feasible option or is there a better method. Thanks Math

I very recently purchased the Leica Macro-Adapter M, and I've just watched your video for at least the second time. Thank you very much for going to this trouble. Your video is very clear and useful. Now, though, the big question: what do I do with Leica's Macro-Adapter M beside shoot insects and LEGO characters?

I always chuckle when folks claim that the Zf is unsuitable for professional work. It really depends upon what "kind" of professional work one does. For many types, the Zf is more than sufficient. Put the Zf up against Nikon's last pro DSLR, the D6. Aside from twin CFExpress/XQD card slots, and a more robust body, the Zf wins on almost every other metric that really matters. We've come a long way with this technology and I would pick up the Zf over the D6 for pretty much any professional shoot right now. And I love "focus point sensor stabilization" and full AF tracking assistance even in fully manual focus mode, which is the best implementation of manual focus yet for mirrorless. And both are firsts. And on a side note: I think the Zf might be the only camera right now using real brass dials on the top deck. I don't even think Leica is doing that on the M series anymore. Now we just need some compact AI-s retro-styled primes from Nikon that suit the aesthetic of the Zf (and what follows it). Perhaps a 24, 35, 50 and 105 series around f/2.5-f/2.8 to keep them small. But make them 'S' series lenses with top notch optics, a metal bayonet mount, and proper weather sealing.

Please do comparison M11 35mm APO vs Hassel X2D 38mm XCD 2.5

You do not need this stuff in 99.9% cases, as this does not make your images better.

Great video. I just ordered the 26mm lens two days ago for my Zf. I can't wait to try it. It is currently on sale in the USA. The regular price for a new one is $496.95 USD and is discounted by $100 USD. If anyone is interested in buying this lens in the US, now is the time to buy it.

Blocking the battery port is a deal breaker

The ZF also allows you to shoot in manual with eye detect. Very cool….. use Voigtlander z lens or Nikon F lens with adapter. I tried my 50mm AIS 1.2 on it ….. wonderful…. How would you compare this to SL2-S?

This was sooooooooooooo helpful! Thank you so much!!!

Please do more videos on x2d

Great conclusion on the Zf capabilities, and beautifully processed - and taken- sample images. The color and DR look fantastic

Better than the sl2-s?

Superb images thank you! I also dind't have any problems shooting in Berlin with the 26mm and the ZF. The Black and White edits are superb. I struggled a bit with the Voigtländer 75mm 1.5 Z version, but than was probably user error, I did not limit the minimum Shutter Speed to 1/100 or something in Aperture Priority, the camera chose 1/15 and I got blurry images. Next time I will do better.

I brought Z26mm lens this week. After my 2 days shooting, I find this lens is very good which is S line quality. But miss S line logo.

The 26mm 2.8 Z is much better quality then the 40mm F2 Z or the 28mm 2.8 Z. Better in build quality, but also Image Quality. The IQ is very sharp and contrasty. And it is even more compact than the two other lenses. It is probably the best AF pancake anyone has ever made. Comparisons with huge S line Primes should not matter, those are brilliant but huge and far more expensive lenses. This is a great lens for street and travel.

Excellent video and photos, I have the same setup 👍 I added the Nokton Z 40 1.2 that I recommend you for an experience with the Zf and her assistance for shooting inmanual focus… 😎

Hey Math, can ou kind enough to offer me some freelance work to help me get a hard drive to get back on track in life? Rally appreciated if you can offer me something!
