Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Pros: color rendering, internal multiplier, weight balance, yield with external TC, weight, AF both as speed and silence, customizable rings Cons: thickness carbon hood a bit minimalist, lack of suitcase for transport, price Opinion: I've been using it for a few weeks, unfortunately work forces me to shoot around Milan for now. I hope to use it as soon as possible in some naturalist photographic trip. The lens has undergone a slimming cure and a weight distribution that further facilitates its freehand use compared to the amazing 600mm FL. Although for prolonged use it is always better to have a monopod or a tripod, the stray photographic hunt can be done not only for the low weight, but above all for the position of the center of gravity that makes the weight fall on the palm of the left hand. Compared to FL, you immediately notice how the new surface treatments give an edge. Nikon with the new S series lenses has really made remarkable strides. The AF is not felt and has a greater reactivity than the already excellent FL. The use of the built-in TC is easy, the engagement lever is at the right distance for my fingers and, especially on gimball, allows you to frame at 600mm and 'zoom' to 840mm while chasing the selected subject. With a little practice you can also freehand. The yield with the internal CT substantially does not affect the IQ, they look like two lenses with fixed focal length in one. The yield with the external TC14Z compared to the internal TC can be glimpsed on the finer details, while the yield with TC20Z is perceived a little more. Between double TC14 (internal and external) and external TC20Z I prefer the yield with double TC14. However, the quality of the optics makes it more than decent shots even with external TC20Z and internal TC14 inserted. Of the customizable rings, I find the control ring simply perfect in 4k videos to be associated with the electronic zoom function making it possible to go from 600mm to 1680mm with an excellent ease and progression. The carbon hood has undergone a slimming cure and the thickness is now really minimal, it flexes easily under the pressure of the fingers. Anyway I left it in the box and put the camo one of the lenscoat. Given the astronomical price, the lack of a transport suitcase is inconceivable. The backpack is well made and comfortable, but it is not the suitcase. In my tilopa backpack with XL shell fits perfectly and together with the Z9 and the 100-400 S are my travel companions for nature photography. sent on February 06, 2023 |
Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S Pros: weight, AF, smooth image quality and multiplied with 1.4x, flexibility thanks to function keys, minimum focusing distance Cons: price, a little dark and the zoom is not inside the lens Opinion: An optics that I bought at its release on the market. Light, robust, tropicalized. Nikon's new Arneo treatment makes you regret the T* zeiss almost at all. The AF is very fast and responsive even with the TC14, with the TC20 instead it loses something (I use it on Z9). Same speech on the image quality, more than excellent at any focal length, very good with the tc14, it only becomes sufficient with the TC20. If I want to make a light output, I take this and the two multipliers and in fact space from 100mm to 800mm (and leave the 600mm fl at home). The function keys are very useful to customize their use according to your needs. I also own the 70-200 that I used sometimes multiplying it, but this lens is far better. The 70-200 now I practically do not use it anymore except when I need its brightness, but at that point I use more often the super bright fixed ones that I have. If I have to find faults that are not the cost to buy it I would say that they are the brightness and the fact that the zoom is not internal to the lens, but you can not have everything in life. sent on September 22, 2022 |
