The Paint Booth captured by Z 9 / Z50f1.2
It is not until you have that f1.2 lens in your kit and you work a story do you truly understand the power of, f/1.2! I have recently added the Z50f1.2 to the arsenal for an upcoming project and to get ready for it, I’ve been kinda married to it shooting stories were I thought f1.2 would be an asset. This past weekend it was the paint booth as the last lower wing was shot with color. Now spending the money for an f/1.2 only works if you shoot only at, f1.2 which is what I do. I use my feet as much as the focusing ring to make the photograph happen. Standing back, you see more of the wind in focus along with the painters. Getting closer, the painter really stands out in sharp focus enveloped in the enormity of the wing to be painted. Nikon just brought out the Z85f1.2 and the Z135f1.2 is on the roadmap. I guarantee I’ll be adding some more f1.2 to the kit. I can’t pass up on the beauty of f1.2!
