I've had 2 180-600mm lenses now and I wouldn't say I'm pleased with either of them.
Maybe it's me and I can't hold that weight steady any longer but even with very fast shutter speeds in good light, I'm not happy with the sharpness.
I've got the 100-400mm and love it.

I can use the 100-400 hand held but always use a monopod with the 180-600.

Only just got the 180-600 so maybe I need to give it more time.

I was at my local zoo early Sunday morning and took my 180-600m, I used a monopod.
I'm thinking I've been very unlucky twice with the copies I've received.
Both from Nikon UK and both shipped from Netherlands.

I must say that I have that lens and its sharp even wide open.
 
My 180-600 appears soft on faces, but to be honest, I think the Z9 can be like that.
 
Does anyone know if there is a like for like comparison of lenses that are both F mount and Z mount.

I have all in F mount -14-24mm f2.8 AFS and 24-70mm f2.8 AFS and 70-200mm f2.8 AFS VR mki.

Why on earth would I want to buy the equivalent lens in Z mount when I can use my FTZ mkii and get the same functionality on my Z cameras?
Unless there is a startling difference why would I spend the best part of £10k just to prop up Nikons profits.

I do have selected Z mount lenses i.e. 14-30mm f4.0, 105mm f2.8, 100-400mm f5.6 and

I don't think I've seen a singular like for like comparison of the main Nikon lenses although even looking at non like for like lenses, the Z-mount lenses are better so I've seen recommendations for the 24-70mm F4 as being better than the Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 AFS.

I'm in a similar position to you and have the F-mount 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses, I didn't originally have the 14-24mm but tried buying one recently for my Z8 because they were comparatively cheap for a well rated lens and much less than the equivalent Z mount lens. However after a couple of attempts and paying more for one in perfect condition that had a sticky zoom ring I had to return and went off the idea, I then managed to get a 14-30mm for a great price instead. Although I'm pleased with it for the more compact size I've no plans to replace the 24-70mm/70-200mm lenses with Z-mount versions, they're not lenses I use a huge amount and I'm still happy with the image quality so similar to you I don't see it being worth forking out the money for the Z-mount versions.

I haven't seen direct comparisons, but I have owned both F and now Z lenses, and I find the Z lensss superior, in image quality, when I look back at some of my older F images. Also obviously the weight difference is a big consideration with Z lenses, compared to F and I think that came into my decision when changing. Quite honestly if I would of bought a Z camera with the intention of just using my F lenses with an adaptor, I wouldn't of bothered and just kept my D850, I do find it odd that someone would buy a Z camera and keep part of the older system, however if you find it works for you that's fine, each to their own as they say.
 
I agree that the Z mount seem to be universally rated as better like for like.
Also, if weight matters, the just announced 24-70 F2.8 S weighs 675 gms (internal zoom). The F mount 24-70 2.8 weighs 1,070 gms.
Most of the Z lenses are lighter than their F counterparts.

Mind you, from what I've read, the F mount lenses generally focus better on Z bodies compared to DSLR bodies.

The problem now (as I see it) is that with Nikon price increases, Z mount lenses are getting more and more expensive.
 
I watched a youtube video recently looking at the 'progress' in camera tech and it made some good points that relate to this question...
If a lens was considered to be very good / very sharp in f-mount format - bringing in a sharper / better lens in z-mount format doesn't make the original lens worse than it was when it came out. So the question then is - what does that additional sharpness bring to the table:
- photos now in focus where you missed previously - probably technique as there were plenty of pros getting stunning photos with f-mount lenses
- photos now at an 'acceptable level of sharpness' whereas previously we were compromised? - not really, we didn't feel compromised previously and we have decades of photographers producing stunning photos, the additional sharpness now is perhaps a pixel-peeper's dream but in reality probably makes no real difference to how the viewer enjoys the photo - and enjoyment of photo is far more in emotion, story, moment, composition, etc. than directly in sharpness...

So, there is a good question to be asked in what that additional sharpness provides - and then to ask whether it is worth the cost...

f-mount:
14-24 = £1,749
24-70 = £2,099
70-200 = £2,399
total: £6,247

f-mount 2nd-hand (9 or above at WEX)
14-24 = £637
24-70 = £1,009
70-200 = £520 for the older but good model v. £989 for the newer model (both condition 8).
total: £2,166 / £2,625

z-mount:
14-24 = £2,359
24-70 = £2,599
70-200 = £2,499
total: £7,457

£1,210 cheaper to buy f-mount new over z-mount
under 1/3 of the price to buy good used f-mount lenses...

If you can afford it, and the extra sharpness satisfies you more... then I can understand someone buying z-mount lenses to replace f-mount ones - but at a commercial level or for most photographers shooting as their hobby, it is a challenging set of numbers for little additional advantage...

I have been taking photos for 38 years, generally consider myself able to take a reasonable photo - but I am yet to be better than my kit. For me I have a mix of bodies anyway with a D780 / D850 and Z50ii so it makes no sense to upgrade to lenses that will only work on the one body - but even though I might also get a z8 / z9 when the next version comes out, I still think it unlikely that I will upgrade lenses...

Not sure how you are getting to £10k with those 3 lenses.

When I switched in late 2021, I sold off all my F mounts. Prices were good then so the cost to swap was not that great.

I never did direct comparisons between the lenses but certainly the AF seems better on the 24-70 and 70-200. AF speed on the 14-24 is largely irrelevant.

For other lenses, the quality on the 85 1.4 and 60 1.2 is a lot better than the F mount equivalents.

Ultimately, equipment is very rarely the limitation when taking photos so if you are happy, that’s all that matters.

To be fair, I think you have one of greatest cameras ever made in the D850. Think that is my favourite camera, even more than my Z series bodies.

Photography Life usually reference the older F mount lenses when the do their reviews of Z mount lenses.

Z-Mount - Grey prices

14-24 = £1239
24-70 = £1249
70-200 = £1369

Total = £3857

Certainly changes the thought process.
 
Hi All

I'm new on this platform so please forgive any mistakes!

I recently added a Nikon Z9 to my kit bag but as you'd expect, that's not the end of it ...... I've discovered that my old Nikon flashes won't work with the Z9 :(

|I guess I'm not unique with this problem, so does anyone have any recommendations for a flash, please? [2.3GHz wireless ~ I think?] Are there any good deals at the moment?

Thanks for any help.

It does bring a different perspective, but I think that esp. with lenses which are easy to test - 2nd hand is the way forward for me, the quality : value ratio is superb...
 
Nikon Z8 + 24-120mm f4 - WEX Price £4629, Panamoz Price £2890. Why would you use WEX, also additional 2 years cover with Panamoz.

Like most folks round these parts I'd recomend Godox. I had a Godox V860II pre mirrorless and it seems to be working fine with my Z9s and Zf.

Hi Graham, thanks very much for confirming Godox, I had an eye on their kit & seems popular. My only hesitation is that the flash I looked at had an integral Li battery & I figured that once the battery had reached EoL then it's a new flash? I guess that the Li's aren't replaceable?? Otherwise looks good, unless someone else has other ideas??
Thanks again, your help is appreciated.

I've got a Godox V860 II (works fine with my Z8) and the battery is removable/replaceable - in fact it is removed for charging

I have SB800 (3) and SB600 and they work with my Z7 but I need to check with the Z9.
Which flash models do you have?

I just tested my Z9 with the SB600. It works OK but needs to be in Master mode. If it is in Remote or SU4 mode then it does NOT fire the flash.

Hello Jonathan

Many thanks for your reply and the info. I have 3 x SB800 too! My wife has a Z7 ii & no matter what we did we couldn't get hers to work with the SB800s at all The SB800s are IR triggered but the Z series send 2.3GHz radio signals ~ a complete change of technology as I understand it? Even my PWs won't trigger them. The ittl won't function either .... so far, more expense!

Thanks again for your help
 
Is an SU-800 an option? There seems to be a few discussions on this topic and a few people mention using the SU-800 as a commander to SB-800s has worked for them on Z cameras

I have an SU-800 and can try and see how it behaves with the SB800 units.
I know it worked for my Z7 but that is a different beast as it has a mechanical shutter rather than electronic one present in Z8 & Z9.
I will try and test before the weekend and post.

Rob how are you triggering the SB800 units? Which/what IR unit?
I had the SB600 in the hotshoe.
I havent used my studio flashes with the Z8 & Z9 as I use the Z7 in studio. I use Godox XT2 and Xpro units with Z7 and they work great I will see if I can make time to do some testing.

Which lens and assuming subject AF?
Click to expand...
The headshots were taken with the 800mm PF, and the full-body shot with the 400mm f/4.5. I made a few changes and was really impressed with the accuracy. I’ve always used Wide AF subject detect, but this time I tried 3D, and even more successful was Auto Area AF (furthest right option). I’d always avoided that mode, thinking monitoring the full frame would slow things down, but it was fantastic. I’m running firmware 3.01.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your info & help. Please don't hurry yourself over this. My wife also takes photos & she had a Z8 when I bought the Z9 ~ it's her birthday very soon & my idea was to buy her a flash unit for her birthday. I know when we tried her Z7ii with the SB800s it wouldn't trigger them but that was a couple of years ago & when I looked into it at the time the two flash systems are not compatible ~ however there are some pieces of kit that use/provide BOTH types of triggering. That however was almost as expensive as buying a new flash. That's why I decided to try to change over to the 2.3GHz wireless system & modernise my kit. We've got our grand children for a short while, so my attention will be away from the computer, largely, but as soon as I get a chance I'll try the SB800s again, but I do use them "off-camera" mainly. I see Godox are well recommended so if I change, I guess that's where I'll be looking. Cheers for now & many thanks, again for your help.
 
addicknchip's post above doesn't do justice to the list of changes in the new Z6 III firmware - it's absolutely huge ! - Already updated mine.

■ Still Photography
  • Added [Birds] to [AF/MF subject detection options] in the photo shooting menu.
  • The maximum shooting display zoom ratio is now 400%.
  • Added [Auto capture] to the photo shooting menu. Users can select capture criteria from [Motion] (the direction the subject is moving), [Distance] (how far the subject is from the camera), and [Subject detection] (whether or not a subject of a given type is detected), and the camera will take photographs automatically while it detects subjects that meet the selected criteria. Note that [Distance] is available with NIKKOR Z lenses and may not function as expected when used with other lenses. The [FX (36×24)] and [DX (24×16)] image areas are available with auto capture.
  • Added a [C15] high-speed frame capture + release mode option.
  • The image quality for high-speed frame capture + can now be set separately from other release modes.
