Weight: 675g with battery and memory card Screen: 3.2-inch tilt-angle touchscreen, 2,100,000 dots Sensor: 24.5MP full-frame back-illuminated CMOS Launching with the Z6 and Z7 are the first three lenses in Nikon's new S-Line range: a 24-70mm f/4 standard zoom, a 35mm f/1.8 wide-angle prime and a 50mm f/1.8 standard prime. The new mount diameter also allows for lenses with maximum apertures as fast as f/0.95, with a high-end manual-focus 58mm f/0.95 S Noct prime lens expected next year.įor existing Nikon DSLR users who are looking to make the switch to the new mirrorless cameras, or who want to shoot with one alongside their current Nikon DSLR kit, there's a new FTZ mount adapter that will be compatible with approximately 360 Nikon lenses, 90 of which which will support the Z6's full AF speed. Nikon believes the larger design and short flange distance will enable its lens engineers to design optics that surpass current F mount designs and make the most of the full-frame sensor, allowing light to easily reach the extreme corners of the sensor to ensure even brightness across the frame. The mount opening is 11mm wider than the F mount at 55mm, while the flange focal distance (the distance between the rear lens element and the sensor) is a very short 16mm. I haven't found anything that is faster for applying local edits yet, but I have not tried DXO that now has the Nik u-point technology built in either.Like the Z7, the Z6 features Nikon's new Z lens mount, with Nikon having dropped its long-established F mount for its new full-frame mirrorless cameras. I still enjoy CNX2 although it is no longer supported and do much of my finishing edits, frame, etc. That is even more important for Nikon folks since Nikon does not give away their code. I'm a big fan of propriety software that reads all of the camera settings. Thanks again for the reminder on View NX-I. AFAIK, only a few like Rawdigger and Fast Raw Viewer give us a true raw histogram which you can not see when shooting of course, but is still helpful when culling. From that view, the actual raw file can probably take 1/3 stop or so more exposure without blowing out the highlights. So the best we can do with the camera histogram is set the Picture Mode to Flat or Highlight Priority for a more accurate readout. Most software and in-camera histograms are representative of the jpeg readout, not raw unfortunately. It is fun to finally be deleting all those jpegs that just sat there except for occasional viewing with a windows viewer.Īnother slick thing I am enjoying with FastStone is that with a left click and hold, it zooms in to 100% view right on the spot where you put the cursor instantly. With a decent viewer I am no longer shooting raw + jpegs. Hopefully I can change my in-camera setting to rotate them and that will tag the raw file in the viewers. The only issue I am having with FastStone is that it does not automatically rotate my vertical compositions. Also it has focus peaking that shows the in focus areas I think. FastStone is free, but Fast Raw Viewer is only $20, which is pretty darn cheap if it has a good raw histogram that is accurate. I was wondering if anyone is using Fast Raw Viewer however because it appears to have a good raw histogram, and how you like it. A neat feature is that with a click and hold, it zooms in to 100% for checking sharpness and focus. I have it set so a single stoke of the delete key and the non-keeper image is gone to the recycle bin while viewing the images. Lightroom is running a bit slow for me so I have been using FastStone Image Viewer for culling and it is working fast to zip through the files. Winter means culling time for me and I am trying to speed it up.
