尼康好兄弟 對比索尼和徠卡 談談尼康zf這台相機

所以我想藉此機會來拍一段短短的視頻 關於過去我做過的一些選擇 首先我要說清楚 這絕對不是任何一種 任何一種複雜的選擇 過去我做過一些不好的選擇 關於我擁有的攝影機 並不是說我擁有的攝影機不好 而是從一個角度來看 我可能不曾知道我正在尋找的東西 因此我經歷了一系列的攝影機 直到今天我現在的位置 我想說說我的角度 我選擇了我經歷過的攝影機 我從一些舊式的DSLR 到現在的Mirrorless 我經歷過小型攝影機 1英寸的感測器 Micro Four Thirds Full Frame 甚至在某個時候 甚至到中規模式 所以你可能會稱之為 攝影機購買症狀 我不太在乎 但我認為當我看著 某種攝影機系統時 類似某些人可能會收集手錶 或許甚至是珠寶 這個概念的精準設計 目標設計的裝置 做得非常好 非常有效率 同時有一個設計風格 讓我感到驚訝 我認為這讓我 經歷了一系列的選擇 我現在的位置很好 但我想展示一下 我經歷過的過程 如果你可以想像 一系列鏡頭 從兩端的鏡頭 得到相同的結果 一張質素的照片 拍攝光澤 色彩 細節 我們正在尋找的 但還有一系列鏡頭 一端的鏡頭 是一種相對較早期 但傳統的攝影風格 攝影鏡頭 大部分是由你控制 相對較早期的鏡頭 到另一端的鏡頭 為了展示 我想展示一張 這是我第一張想要講的 我會看下 相機 這是一個Leica M9 不對 抱歉 Leica ME 這是一個更新的Leica M9 這是Leica的全景鏡頭 它是一個美麗的系統 如果你看它們今天的鏡頭 它們的設計很相似 它們的操作也很相似 這在我們公司的初期 大概有100年 但是它們的操作 是最重要的 最基本的 鏡頭的操作 操作速度 在菜單裡 非常簡單的ISO系統 我不相信 at much and all of their lenses have the aperture control on the lens himself So again very traditional it functions exactly how cameras have always function throughout time Time where you control The exposure triangle between shutter speed ISO Aperture and then also focus focus on this camera is completely manual You can see it has the range The focusing range Gauges on top And then you also set aperture On this lens here this is a relatively inexpensive lens from TT Artisan It's surprisingly sharp it functions extremely well very little Issues optically with it so These lenses this one probably cost $250 at most A good Leica lens Can cost you thousands and thousands of dollars I've been very pleased with this I have some Voigtlander lenses Also that I use with this Much smaller nice 35mm That's much more compact Now about this is it is a rangefinder camera if you're not familiar with it you basically look through a Optical viewfinder And inside there you'll see a ghost image between It uses the effective parallax And it brings together when you bring those two ghost images to form a single image then you know you're in Focus So for me With being a 58 year old man I struggle sometimes with getting perfect focus You can use the zone focusing method where you set the aperture at a fairly wide aperture Maybe f8 or f11 And then you have a much Deeper depth of field to play with And so you typically focus in the range where you think you'll be taking a photograph And And and that it's much quicker once you get good at it it's a much quicker way especially things like Street photography or snapshots You can now focus every time because Essentially where your subject is is in focus Again Beautiful build quality this is a brass on top I mean it's an all metal construction And it's it's just a complete brick In a good way The battery life on this I'm not even sure there I have gone Weeks without ever messing with the battery It's just very similar to a film camera it just keeps shooting eventually I'll realize I should probably charge that battery You can see the battery Level within there there is no On the top no LCD is no anything the screen is very very low resolution but that's not That's not what it's intended for it's intended to take photographs And then download later on But you can see a beautiful design And it's it's Just a great piece of kit But it's not very efficient I could carry this camera for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy I've carried it throughout the world And taking some great images with it But it is on the end of the spectrum where you are More likely than other cameras to not get it in focus or to miss the exposure And it's dynamic range is not the greatest so You know missing the exposure on this can mean a photo that you may or may not be able to recover So that's one end of the spectrum call it the low end if you want to but It's a very Basic fundamental camera that's beautiful in construction and it's design cues Are absolutely perfect At the other end of the spectrum Is a camera like this so this is a Sony A7 IV And it everything that the Leica is this camera is not It is I would equate it to a Surgical instrument It is extremely well built It functions perfectly It takes Perfect images almost every single time It's autofocus is amazing It's video capabilities Of course the Leica has no video capability so obviously it beats it there But It does everything perfectly again similar to the Leica I can carry this the rest of my life And be perfectly happy carrying this camera It has never failed me I've owned a couple of the series of this I think I started with the second version and have owned everyone since the A7 III was Really Game changer for For the Sony Alpha series It's a full frame camera again Great battery life Great construction has never let me down A great selection of lenses that can go on this The only problem is it Unlike the Leica it doesn't really inspire Any sort of emotion in you it's it's a tool It's a surgical instrument which you could argue Has its own sense of Purpose and value In that it Has a purpose It perfectly serves that purpose it will function every single time But again it Evokes Very little emotion and feeling towards that But I love it I love both of these cameras They sit at the different Ends of the spectrum for me But I love that entire aspect of it So I'll tell you where I think I am today In fact I know I am today Is this camera here This is the Nikon ZF And it Truly Resides it doesn't sit in the middle of the spectrum because that would imply that there's some sort of Compromise at hand But it literally Covers the entire spectrum You can see it's much more of a traditional design where It has the exposure control elements on top the dials We've got shutter speed ISO The mode selection This lens here Is you know one of the kit lenses I say It's a 40mm f2 lens it's actually It's designed to look like a traditional lens It mirrors that very well It's mainly plastic But optically it's It's very very good So I have no issues it fits the body perfectly But if you look at it again Almost entirely made out of metal It's got a very very good quality build It's designed to mirror Traditional Nikon cameras Purposely done that way to evoke that emotion so you can see what the The designers were going for which was to Get very close to The traditional designs but also to incorporate all of the modern Aspects of it Video coming out of this camera you know this is not just a photography camera it also shoots Unbelievable video One thing I like very much about it Is that Nikon colors and you'll hear people talk about this all the time And it's a fight between Canon and Nikon as far as I'm concerned But I love the images that come out of it the images out of the Leica if you nail it Just like a camera just have a Specific Style You can tell typically a Leica image it's very hard to recreate that Even on what is essentially a modern camera Somehow that Style has carried through To the Leica ME The Sony camera is much more sterile you can work with them great dynamic range there's a lot to You can recreate most looks that you're going for but straight out of the camera typically not What I found with the Nikon is it gives me those colors that image quality that dynamic range The dynamic range that is missing in the Leica And is Abundant in the Sony can also now be found in the Nikon so a lot of Latitude to play with the image quality But I think what it does for me is it is the best of both worlds where I've got a camera that invokes that emotion of a precision built Design Precision built Instrument That that still gives you that sense of This is something that is Makes you proud to own it You know same with it Sony as well but it just doesn't invoke that same sense of style That the Leica does And I found that the Nikon Splits the middle very well it covers both ends of the spectrum so I think this is where I'm going to land For I hesitate to use this word but I think it is What I would call Legacy camera Definitely the Leica is that Again I could own this camera and will own this camera For the rest of my life And I think the Nikon in its current form this Nikon ZF Is exactly the same so I put it in that same category of being a camera That you proud to own proud to carry with you But also produces those types of images That Meet or exceed the same that come out of the Sony A device which is much more Again sterile Surgical instrument like But doesn't invoke that same emotion so I'm extremely pleased with it I've taken With the Nikon You know hundreds and hundreds of photos compared to thousands and thousands with the Leica and the Sony But I have no doubt that I'll I'll get there at some point so I look forward to any comments you may have Again I know for some people you may be like well How is this possible Again made a lot of bad choices to get to where I am today But I think I finally landed where I want to be with the camera that I'm both Proud to own But also meets all the needs I could ever want So thanks
