Nikon Z6 II + Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III VXD G2

Nikon Z6 II

The Nikon Z6 II builds on the success of the Z6. In addition to its robustness and simple operation, it offers the possibility of recording film sequences in professional quality. Added to this is its photographic performance. The camera is resistant to dust and dripping water, making it suitable for continuous shooting even under adverse conditions. Thanks to the new option of freely selecting the direction of rotation of the focusing ring, users can focus manually in the usual way

.

The camera can output videos for the FX and DX image formats in 4K/UHD and Full HD. Meanwhile, the HLG recording format records more details, a greater dynamic range and higher contrast. This makes post-processing largely superfluous. The improvements to eye AF and animal detection AF ensure more precise focusing of subjects, even when recording video

.

These AF functions also ensure excellent results when taking photos and keep pace with the increased speed and performance of the camera. The Nikon Z6 II supports continuous shooting at 14 fps and a higher maximum number of shots: 200 JPEGs or 124 images losslessly compressed in 12-bit RAW format in one series.

The Nikon Z6 II is aimed at users who want to shoot movie quality footage as well as photos with a compact system. The camera is ideal for professional video production or wedding photography, for example, where maneuverability, flexibility and uncompromising imaging performance are essential.

Creative in any light

The Z bayonet with its large diameter and the large full-frame sensor with 24.5 MP ensure low-noise images with the highest level of detail across the exceptionally wide ISO range. With a lens speed of 1:2, the "low light autofocus" now works down to a light value of -6 EV.

This is how much faster

photos are recorded at approx. 14 fps with full autofocus tracking and with adjustment of the automatic exposure. Up to 200 JPEGs or 124 lossless compressed 12-bit RAW images are possible in one shooting series

.

Two EXPEED processors

Two processors double the available performance - from autofocus to buffer capacity. The conversion is silky smooth, both when filming and taking photos.

Two memory card slots

Adaptation

to different workflows is easy. UHS-II SD cards can be used in one slot and XQD or state-of-the-art ultra-fast CFexpress cards in the other.

Multimedia powerhouse

Sharper and clearer movie footage with greater dynamic range. Eye AF and Animal Detection AF are available when filming. And movie recordings can be output to external devices if required

.

Robust

The

extremely strong and lightweight construction of this camera is made of magnesium alloy. The camera is easy to carry and so robust that it can be used anywhere. It is fully sealed to protect against dust, dirt and moisture

.

The versatility of the Z-System

External flash units can also be used at high frame rates of up to 14 fps. The FTZ bayonet adapter (optional) ensures compatibility with over 300 NIKKOR lenses with an F bayonet.

SnapBridge

With the continuously developed Nikon SnapBridge app, the camera's firmware can be updated via a smart device.

Best image quality in the standard Zoom lens class

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 for Nikon Z uses the latest design know-how and has an optical design with 17 elements in 15 groups. Two optimally arranged LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements reduce optical aberrations to a minimum. The lens offers high resolution from edge to edge and corner to corner over the entire Zoom range, even with the aperture wide open. In addition, the soft, beautiful and rounded bokeh that can be achieved with a wide aperture lens adds a special dimension to portraits in particular. The overall compact size and high performance can be used to advantage with high-quality mirrorless cameras with very high resolution.

Fast, quiet VXD linear motor for high-precision autofocus

The AF drive system uses the VXD linear motor focusing mechanism from Tamron. The fast and high-precision autofocus is extremely responsive and offers reliable and precise focusing from the closest focusing distance to infinity despite the high speed of F2.8.

The maximum magnification of 1:2.7 makes it possible to get very close to the subject, as in macro photography, which creates a strong visual effect as the subject is positioned large in the image while the background remains widely visible.

The Tamron Lens Utility™ expands the possibilities of photo and video shooting

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is compatible with the Tamron Lens Utility software specially developed by Tamron, which allows the user to easily update the lens to the latest firmware without having to use the camera.

With A-B focus, for example, the user can program the focus to pre-selected points and switch from one subject to another with a click of the focus button. Users can also choose between linear and non-linear, which affects the way the focus moves during manual focusing

Improved lens design for user-friendly operation

Every part of the lens has been thought through down to the smallest detail. The result is an improved design that optimizes both operability and ergonomics. The outer surface of the lens barrel is glossy black. The improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel more scratch-resistant and less sensitive to fingerprints. The grip has also been improved.

The

gently curved, elegant surface of the branded ring provides a sophisticated appearance with a design that stands for functional beauty and high quality
