    Hi Ralph, I like your channel a lot and you seem to be the right person to answer my question... I use D850 and D5 professionaly and would like to have a Z5 as a backup. Here is my question and I couldn't find the answer anywhere, I love my Zeiss Distagon 35mm f2 ZF2 and the Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f1.4! Both of them have the CPU contacts and, when adapted via FTZ II on Z50, there is a focus confirmation square that turns green when focused. Please, is this also the case with the Z5 or do I have to acquire the Z6 ii or Zf? I wouldn't like to have only focus peaking or the zoom to focus possibility and nobody is writing about it! I am just a photographer and do not care about video and since I used to work with the D750, I know what to expect from that sensor. It's only that usability issue with some of the best lenses that I love and I can't, unfortunately test the camera prior to buying it, a bummer isn't it? Thank you very much in advance, hope to hear from you soon, yours sincerely Karlo from Trogir - Croatia 😊

      G’day Karlo, while I don’t have a Zeiss or Voigtlander to try, I use my Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 with the FTZii adapter on the Z5 and am happy to report that the green focus square turns from red to green once the lens focusses. It was the case in all focussing modes. I hope that’s helpful 👍

    Ulazi records with extremely low audio even with +10 Gain and max volume in settings. How were you able to fix this issue when playing back audio?

    • @RalphMayhewPhotography
      @RalphMayhewPhotography 8 днів тому

      I didn’t have that issue with the Ulanzi. I do have that issue with my DJI set up. To solve it I separate the audio and open it in a program call wave pad. I then amplify the audio up to just before it cuts off the spikes and then imports it back in. That works well for me and wavepad is free, or at least was when I go it.

    Now that the Z6iii is released and looking at the specs of it I realise that the Z5 might actually be a better choice for my (non professional) needs. It's way cheaper and still takes great images. I also prefer a tilt screen over a flippy screen and I'm in no need of the speed and all the video capabilities of the z6iii. Perphaps in a not too distant future a Z5ii could be a great photography oriented camera.

      I think you’re right on it. The z5 is a great option and who knows about the z5ii? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I wonder how the repairs turned out? I've had only 2 main issues which are manufacturing flaws and shouldn't happen with this camera. 1. You touched on the eye piece issue. 2. If you open the Kensington Lock rubber, you have to send it back to Nikon to place a new rubber piece/door in place as many of us found out, it will not reseal. Per Nikon reps (see posts on the internet), the camera has to be sent back in for a replacement part. Now that's insane. One way door, open it, it's open for good and the weather sealing is compromised.

      They replaced the boards as they were failing and changed the eye piece. It’s as good as new now 👌
