Matt Granger living the life. Good on you Matt!
Hi Matt, may I ask what's the model of the light?
and as soon as he put up the tent the neighborhood got heartbroken😂
Strangely, the LED light is not in the product description
@mattgranger Where can we find the sample images?
Nice shoot, she reminds me of Linda Fiorentina, an extreme compliment. The nostalgic draw to my old FM2 not enough to lay down the cash. Maybe so if made in a chrome body? Thanks for sharing.
Awesome & Thanks 🙂
Love my Zf and reach for it more than the Z9. With the Smallrig grip, it’s more than fine with most lenses. Picked up the Z6III as a possible replacement for it and returned the Z6III. I just love the Zf.
What are those lights you’re using ?
I have the Smallrig grip but prefer the second version of the Neewer grip as it has a thumbrest. It matches the Zf body perfectly in my eyes.
I found the smallrig grip still not quite enough. I wanted to try the official Nikon one that is in Japan but the prices on eBay are pretty crazy. I just got the Zf grip from Metro Case and I think it is about perfect for me. I think it’s 3d printed and feels very light but it has a more substantial front grip and wraps around to the back with a thumb rest as well. I found a thread on Fred Miranda where someone had uploaded comparison photos of it with the Nikon and smallrig grips and decided to give it a try.
What light is that on the stand?
Excellent equipment is not enough to make excellent pictures (hopefully for talented photographers who cannot affird such equipment)
Yummo
Love the red top with black stripes
The Smallrig grip really does make a night and day difference. It's quite a lot better than I expected. I have zero grip or handling complaints now.
I purchased the small rig grip. Works great. Great video as always. Thanks Matt!
Thanks for this. Very interesting!!!!
Which lenses do you recommend for street portraits like those with the umbrella? Looking for budget (below aprox. 1000€/USD) options. I'll be buying the Zf with low light street portraits in mind.
I’m here for the photography talk, I promise….
I would love to buy that, but every time I pick it up, it feels like a brick 🧱. The grip is almost painful. Almost painful. It checks every box but ergonomics.
The Zf is a beautiful camera which makes a lot of fun but i prefer Voigtländer lenses for it.
Those silly huge prime nikon lenses… 🙂 Great video
Nice nice video and model and when you are doing these kind it would be great to see some shots of the model from rear angles.
Great video! Where can I get one of those shirts?
Great video, I hope you enjoyed using the ZF.
Great results. Like the umbrella set a lot.
Great job Matt! Stunning model ❤ you're very inspiring, need to get back out shooting. In Hong Kong? You need to come to the US and rent an RV for the summer. Plenty of wonderful outdoor locations.
Damn! She is beautiful.
