Nikon Z f body + Tamron 35-150mm f2.0-2.8

Nikon Z f housing

The Nikon Z f is equipped with the advanced EXPEED 7 image processing engine, just like the highly acclaimed Nikon Z 9. This enables first-class photo and movie shooting. It combines style and substance and impresses with leading technology, including outstanding autofocus and image stabilization functions. The result is a camera that is ideal for anyone who wants to realize their creative vision in outstanding quality.The

design of the Nikon Z f pays homage to the legendary FM2, echoing elements such as the signature dials, shutter release, and classic Nikon logo from the 1970s. All the dials are carefully crafted from high-quality brass and integrated into a rugged magnesium alloy body, giving the camera an unparalleled premium feel.

Expanded picture expression possibilities thanks to new functions
In addition to the traditional monochrome Picture Control setting, the Z f now offers two innovative Picture Controls: "Neutral; Monochrome" and "Deep Tone; Monochrome." A dedicated black-and-white option has been added to the photo/video selector under the acronym "B&W" to allow seamless switching between shooting modes.

The camera also boasts an impressive array of inspiring functions and features, including "Creative Picture Control" and the ability to shoot with pixel shift - an innovation supported by the Z f as the first Nikon system camera. Furthermore, it is the world's first camera* to feature Focus Area VR, which effectively suppresses blur around the focus area, ensuring top-notch results.

Optimized video performance for a wide range ofneeds
The all-new camera has a comprehensive range of video functions

.

These include direct in-camera recording of 10-bit H.265 video and the impressive ability to record up to 125 minutes of continuous 4K UHD video, without interruption. It also inherits some outstanding features from the Z 9, such as the ability to precisely adjust ISO sensitivity in 1/6 EV increments and the useful red frame display during video shooting.

Outstanding performance thanks to cutting-edge technology
The Z f camera is powered by the advanced EXPEED 7 image processing processor, which enables remarkable ISO sensitivity, among other

features.

In addition, the Z f has also been given the capabilities of the Z 8 camera to reliably detect nine different types of subjects and enhance subject detection and tracking performance. The camera is also supported by a highly effective internal image stabilizer and digital VR, both of which greatly enhance the quality of shots taken in dimly lit or dark indoor environments.

Tamron 35-150mm f2.0-2.8 Di III VXD Nikon Z

The 35-150mm F2-2.8 lens covers the commonly used focal length range from classic wide-angle to longer telephoto, and is the ideal choice for both travel and portrait photography. It is the first Zoom lens from Tamron with F2.0-2.8 aperture for cameras with Nikon Z bayonet. While the 35mm focal length is particularly suitable for shooting wide panoramas and large buildings, the 150mm telephoto can also be used to capture dynamic close-ups.

World's first Zoom lens with F2-2.8
The 35-150mm F2-2.8 offers a maximum aperture of F2 at an initial focal length of 35mm, giving it a wider aperture than conventional fast Zoom lenses whose maximum aperture is F2.8. In the wide-angle range, the 35-150mm F2-2.8 thus enables a more pronounced, more attractive bokeh effect. The high F2 aperture also allows the choice of faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings to prevent camera shake and image noise.

Versatile focal length range from 35mm wide-angle to 150mm telephoto
The 35-150mm F2-2.8's universal Zoomrange is ideal for travel and portrait photography

.

The range between 35mm and 50mm is particularly suitable for landscape and street photography, while 85mm as a light telephoto focal length is optimal for portraits and close-ups. At 150 mm, even distant objects can be brought into the picture in a big way. The convenient Zoomring allows quick focal length changes between wide-angle and telephoto without having to take the camera away from the eye or interrupt the shot.

Outstanding imaging performance over the entire Zoomrange
The optical design of the 35-150mm F2-2.8 includes four LD (Low Dispersion) and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements that guarantee excellent image quality over the entire focal length range. Even in conjunction with ultra-high-resolution camera sensors, consistently high imaging performance is achieved from the optical center to the edge of the image. This is complemented by a harmonious bokeh effect that can only be achieved with very large apertures. The universal focal length range enables a wide range of creative expression and combines six classic fixed focal lengths in one lens 35 mm, 50 mm (normal or standard focal length), 85 mm (medium telephoto, "portrait lens"), 100 mm, 135 mm and 150 mm (telephoto) as well as all focal lengths in between.

Fast and silent VXD autofocus for precise focusing
The VXD autofocus of the 35-150mm F2-2.8 is based on a powerful linear motor that focuses on the selected image area with maximum precision, even at large apertures and regardless of the shooting distance. Even when tracking moving subjects, the responsive VXD technology ensures reliable focus tracking. In addition, because the AF motor is virtually silent, the 35-150mm F2.-2.8 is the ideal choice for photo and video shooting in situations where silence is required.

Short close-up distance for versatility
The 35-150mm F2-2.8's minimum focusing distance allows full concentration on the subject without worrying about shooting distance. At 35mm position, the shortest focusing distance is only 0.33m and a maximum magnification of 1:5.7 is achieved. This enables image compositions with an expressive depth effect, as the large aperture of F2 blurs the background into an attractive blur even in wide-angle shots, while details of the main subject are razor-sharp.

Compatible with TAMRON Lens UtilityTM for advanced photo and video functions
The 35-150mm F2-2.8 is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility, which can be used to expand photographic expression. Among other things, the TAMRON-developed software allows users to update lens firmware off-camera, as well as use various focus functions for technically advanced photo and video capture.

For example, A-B focus allows users to limit focus to two preset focus points and shift focus from one area of the frame to another using the focus button on the lens. Also, in manual focus (MF) mode, the user can choose between linear and non-linear focus, which affects the way the focus shifts during

focusing.
