Hello and welcome to my website. You have found yourself on my blog ( are we still doing this in 2024? ) and I have decided to just use this place to share my thoughts on stuff I am interested in at any given time. My interests at the moment are video first, shooting film, photo, gaming, and getting outside. Most of those aren’t new but you may be new here so there you go, you are caught up. If you prefer to watch me talk about this, jump to the bottom of this article and I have left the link to my Youtube video.
In this share, I want to talk about my favorite lens for the Nikon Z6iii but today, especially for video work. Spoiler Alert, this lens is fantastic. Its wonderful at everything except extreme low light because the Nikon 24-120 is only an F4 lens. F4??? Get out of here. I can here the snobs already jumping in and swinging that they need more bokeh. What if I told you a good photographer / videographer can find a way to make wonderful work no matter the F stop. OH SHIT.. shots fired over here. I already know that my fellow film shooters get this fact.
Ok so why do I love the 24-120? Obviously the number 1 reason is the versatility of this focal range. You can cover so many prime focal lengths in the 24-120 range. This makes it easy to be the ONLY lens you pack. Ok so on to reason number 2, and that is the weight. This lens is light and really balances well on the Z6iii body. Makes it a joy to use. Number 3 is because its sharp. It is in the S line of Nikon lenses means it meets the best quality optically. Lastly, the autofocus is sticky in the best kind of way. Its extremely useful, and balanced option for video.
