Nikon Z6 III + Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 for Nikon Z

Nikon Z6 III

The Nikon Z6III sets a new benchmark for mid-range full-frame cameras, offering an exciting upgrade for photographers and videographers who want to improve their skills or unleash their creativity while keeping their equipment compact. At the heart of this camera is the world's first partially stacked full-frame CMOS sensor, developed specifically for the Z6III to ensure the highest performance. This sensor impresses in every respect with outstanding image quality, great dynamic range and high color fidelity

The partially stacked full-frame CMOS sensor is supported by the same EXPEED 7 processor as the professional models Nikon Z8 and Nikon This powerful duo enables extremely fast AF calculations and high refresh rates of the electronic viewfinder. Photographers benefit from an even, smooth viewfinder image and can shoot up to 120 frames per second without worrying about rolling shutter distortion. Videographers can capture pristine 6K (RAW) and 5.4K (YUV) footage directly from the camera or create detailed 4K UHD video with 6K oversampling directly in-camera. In addition, both photographers and videographers benefit from Nikon's intelligent subject perception, which enables particularly powerful eye tracking in the modes for people and animals. Thanks to the sensor's wide ISO range and AF sensitivity down to -10 EV (3), you can also shoot at night.

66} Z6III has the brightest electronic viewfinder in its class and is the first mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder that covers the wide DCI-P3 color gamut (1). Thanks to this next-generation, state-of-the-art electronic viewfinder, even details in shadow areas remain visible. Creatives can create and review their content directly in-camera with confidence, as colors and tonal values are reproduced as desired in the final files.

66} Imaging Cloud (2), a free cloud service, will be available at a later date. This service enables direct firmware updates to the camera, saving images to the cloud and also offers exclusive image profiles.

Samyang MF 85mm F1.4

Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 is a high performance manual lens, optimized and developed for the latest Nikon Z mount camera series

The lens was developed for cameras with a 35mm full-frame sensor for the best photo and video recordings. It is ideal for the latest mirrorless cameras in the Nikon Z series with a high pixel count.

Optimum angle of view - beautiful portraits

The 85 mm lens from Samyang is an ideal focal length for portraits and focuses on the essentials. Its picture angle of 28.3° on the full-frame camera provides optimum concentration on the subject. If the 85/1.4 is attached to a Nikon APS-C camera, the angle of view is 19°, which roughly corresponds to the image impression of a 126 mm lens. The lens is very well corrected and impresses with its very good and distortion-free imaging performance. The very compact design provides comfortable handling with a balanced center of gravity

High-quality optics and mechanics

The lens is equipped with internal focusing and offers a close focusing distance of 1.0 m. With 9 lenses in 7 groups, it is very elaborately constructed, designed for optimum performance even at open aperture. When focusing, the corresponding lens elements are shifted internally: the overall length of the optics therefore does not change and the 72mm filter thread does not rotate when focusing. The iris diaphragm has 8 blades and therefore an almost circular aperture image. This results in a pleasant bokeh when out of focus. Of course, all lens surfaces are multi-coated to increase the contrast of the images and avoid reflections. Everything is rounded off by precise mechanics, clearly locking aperture values in half f-stops and production in a high-quality metal frame

Outstanding light intensity

The outstanding speed of this Samyang lens allows the use of very short exposure times or lower ISO values. This significantly reduces image noise. The large initial aperture with shallow depth of field optimizes the position of the focal plane in the viewfinder.

practical side benefit of the high light intensity is the highlighting/exposure of the subject in front of a blurred foreground or background

Innovative design and weather protection

The lens is not only technically outstanding, but also in appearance. It interprets the design of mirrorless cameras in a new way. The camera and lens form a harmonious duo. The high-quality 85mm F1.4 lens has a compact design despite the solid metal housing. The focus ring is frosted, which not only looks good on the lens, but also provides the photographer with a good grip. The lens has Samyang weather protection and can withstand snow or light rain showers

Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor

The {

MF 14mm F2.8 is designed for full-frame format. You can of course also use it on cameras with smaller sensors, for example APS-C. Since a correspondingly smaller section of the full-frame image circle of the lens hits the sensor, the angle of view is also smaller (28.3° for full-frame, 19° for APS-C on Nikon). The image content of the APS-C image is therefore a central section of that which a full-frame camera would image. Aberrations usually occur at the edges, especially with wide-angle lenses, which is why the quality for APS-C cameras is always maximum
