Απίστευτο κομμάτι, αλλά έχει 40.000 κορώνες (ήτοι 3800 ευρά).
Αυτές είναι τιμές εξωπραγματικές να πω την αλήθεια.
Από την άλλη, ήδη ο Mk.1 είναι στα 1400€ μεταχειρισμένος από ιδιώτη.
Φαντάζομαι ότι θα πέσει και άλλο από ιδιώτες και στα 1400-1500€ από μαγαζιά με εξάμηνη εγγύηση.
Καλή εναλλακτική για τον τελευταίο F mount που όλως περιέργως είναι ακόμη στα 1200-1400€.

Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 II Portrait Photography Review
Julia TrottiNikon Z 70-200 f/2.8 S II vs V1: Worth the Upgrade?
Bobby Tonelli
Ο Ian Wegener παρουσιάζει αναλυτικά τον νέο φακό Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II.
- Ζυγίζει κάτω από 1 κιλό, 25% ελαφρύτερος από την προηγούμενη έκδοση.
- Arca-Swiss απευθείας στο collar foot του φακού. Μπορεί να μπει απευθείας σε τρίποδο χωρίς να χρειάζεται έξτρα πλακέτα.
- Έχει εσωτερικό ζουμ , διαθέτει έναν νέο διακόπτη "Click" για το δαχτυλίδι ελέγχου.
- Η ελάχιστη απόσταση εστίασης μειώθηκε στα 80 εκατοστά (από 1 μέτρο στον παλιό).
- Ο φακός συνεργάζεται με τηλεμετατροπείς. Με τον 1.4x (στο f/4) και τον 2x (στα 400mm, f/5.6), η εικόνα παραμένει λεπτομερής.
- Το σύστημα σταθεροποίησης εικόνας (VR) είναι ίσως το καλύτερο που έχει δοκιμάσει. Η εικόνα στο σκόπευτρο παραμένει ακίνητη.
- Η αυτόματη εστίαση είναι εξαιρετικά γρήγορη και κλειδώνει στο θέμα, ακόμα και σε συνθήκες χαμηλού φωτισμού. Μόνο με τη χρήση του 2x τηλεμετατροπέα υπήρξαν ελάχιστες στιγμές που η εστίαση δυσκολεύτηκε ελαφρώς, αλλά παρέμεινε πολύ αξιόπιστη.

AI Summary: The Nikkor Z 50mm F1.2 S is a premium lens priced at $2,250, notable for its ultra-bright F1.2 aperture, making it currently the only native autofocusing option of its kind for Nikon’s Z-mount. While it offers exceptional build quality and performance, especially for portrait photography, its hefty weight and price may deter casual users. The lens excels in creating a beautiful shallow depth of field, but it faces stiff competition from newer models potentially offering better optical performance. Ultimately, while the 50mm F1.2 S is an outstanding tool for serious photographers, it’s not the go-to choice for everyone.
