Nikon Z6 II + FTZ II + Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4

Nikon Z6 II + FTZ II + Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4

This package includes Nikon FTZ II an adapter that gives you access to the full range of Nikon F lenses. The package also includes a very high quality Nikkor Z 24-70mm prime lens that works great for both stills and video.

The Nikon Z6 II With its speed, versatility and performance, the camera is a nice redemption of everything the original promised. For both stills and video, the Z6 II is a great tool. Despite the updates, the form and quality have remained the same. It all revolves around the familiar 24.5 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, but now with TWO (2) Expeed 6 processors in the image pipeline. The Z6 II is significantly faster and the buffer is noticeably larger. 14 frames per second at a single focus point, or 12 fps at any focus mode. Video recording is at UHD 4K 30p quality (with a future 4K 60P upgrade), or FHD 120p slow motion output. And if you're recording video externally, it can be done with 10-bit N-Log and HLG (HDR) support. The sensor is also quite competent in low-light situations, with sensitivities stretching from 100-51200, and the image stabilizer grinds at 5 axis. The sensor has 273 focus points, and now has direct support for eye detection AF in Wide Area AF mode too. Also in video. In low light the focus goes down to -4.5 EV quite nicely.

To balance image quality, the Z6 II sticks to ergonomics, but the inner shell now has two memory card slots (er, finally?), one of which is a CFexpress Type B and the other is an SD UHS-II slot. The high-resolution 3.6 million dot OLED EVF and 3.2″ 2.1 million dot tilting touch LCD are versatile for cropping and image viewing. SnapBridge transfers footage wirelessly and also acts as a remote camera controller, and best of all, it can now be used to update camera firmware.

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S - The basic zoom with the new bayonet

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S offers a handy range of focal lengths in a compact package. The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S is a multi-purpose zoom that gives you wide-angle shots and pots with ease. With an aperture of f/4 covering the entire focal length range, it's a convenient and lightweight alternative to f/2.8 glass. On the optical side, the solutions are almost unprecedented. A unique aspherical extra-low dispersion element, and a single aspherical element keep chromatic aberrations at bay and distortion at bay. Nano crystal coating keeps reflections to a minimum in backlit situations.

The optics are partnered by a fast and quiet autofocus using stepper motor technology, which also produces a sharp image. Full-time manual overdrive suitable for both still and video photography. The focus ring can be programmed to do other things like aperture adjustment or whatever, handy because the focus ring is comparatively useless in today's world of autofocus time. Also, the lens is a buttonless retractable design, so the size is quite compact when retracted.

Combining beautiful shift and surprisingly smooth bokeh, this glass is a kind of reliable workhorse of a journalist. A budget-conscious choice and the first native zoom for this system.
