The NEW KING OF PORTRAIT LENSES? Hands on with the Nikon 85mm F1.2

Hey Manny, I need your help. I bought an Atamos for my Nikon Z9. How do you record the evf while shooting pictures. Every time, after I shoot 2 pictures, the Atamos stops recording. How can I make the Atamos continually record the evf even if I shoot 100 pictures ??? Thanks man!😀

now sony, give us a 85 1.2

When you shot with the Sony 7R5 did you get a better hit rate with the eye AF??

Sorry… you said skin tones in a portrait photo?

great review (as always)

so if you had to pick between the 85 1.2 and the 135 1.8 which would it be... primary use non-studio portraits

Hey Manny. Thanks for this video. Where can I get that bracket that holds your GoPro fit recording the screen on your Nikon?? What model is it? Thanks man!🙂

Where did you get that GoPro bracket from?…

Nikon has more bg blur.

Powerful and to the point, Manny you are no hype, all substance!

this is a seller of equipment, not a photographer

Canon super and price 2500$

Wow, are Canon using hydraulics for that 85mm focusing ?? Great review 👍

best of 85.2 is z

this lens makes me wants to upgrade my d610 to another nikon body... i was seriously considering jumping to sony but this lens man...

which brand camera your faroud bend?

Hey Manny! What's that bracket you're using for your gopro

I still use my old 85mm 1.8 G with FTZ in my z6 II
My clients still like very much.

What is the name of the mount called your usings with the Gopro to fit to the Nikon please? 🙏🏿

You are so correct, a Nikon Z6 III and Z7 III is what everyone is waiting for. The Z6 ii and Z7 ii are being discounted now the Z8 is here, so maybe those new cameras are just a few months away.

Canon colors looks better here.

Lol, GM is not very, very old.

Manny, I’m sure the answer is somewhere in your archives, but are you based out of NY/NYC? Tnx.

You nailed at at the end of the video before anyone knew, “Nikon, give us a Z8!” Foreshadowing?. ❤🎉😅 Great video, BTW.

Love your channel. I learned a lot from you. Thanks 🙂

The aparture blades will effect nothing with you shot wide open, there is no blade in wide open, try F2.0 you will see the effect

Bro 105 mm 1.4 sigma art ! with sony a7iv is the king ! ;) Im rocking 105 mm .14 art on Nikon d750 + Sony A7iv aswell ! ;)

Nikon worked well that is user error in selecting what to focus

I think this video shows you why you probably don’t need a 1.2 85 in most situations

How does it compare to the nikon F mount sigma art 105 f1.4??? Your spot on about the body, Nikon should give us Z6ii/Z7ii a firmware update! Why in the hell they put 2 processor on the ii body’s when they wont even give us a decent firmware to maximize the x2 processing speed of the z6ii and z7ii🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The nikkor is 30g lighter. There is no way you can feel that 30g on 1160g lenses. The only thing that might have made a difference is the actual shape which could have given you a better grip

You just dont know how to use that Nikon, Im never out of focus

Z6III or Z8. Yes please.

That’s a big boy. RF 2.63 lbs, Z 2.6 lbs.

You as a Canon shooter have a look on Nikon gear. That's fine. I like it. Thank you for the comments on the Nikon S 85 mm f/1.2. Popular or not let me say: Pentax released two years ago its full frame D FA 85 mm f/1.4, which is so far away from the recent Pentax reputation (APC-C, small budget, entry level cameras in all colors etc.). I use it myself. It really performs superbly, fast AF. What about having a look on this stuff from time to time beside the main stream gear?

you can see it with 1.6 or above

I like the little peek in the studio and the set up you have. Gives me ideas as I'm just a hobbyist photographer.

Wow….kudos to Nikon for having “eyelash AF”, you’ve one up Canon’s eye AF. What’s the point of f1.2 if you’re hitting eyelashes(most of the time) it’s basically an expensive landscaper lens.

Manny, you forgot to list the adapter mounting the GoPro. Where do I find it?

Please share us the accessories you use to mount the gopro to your camera. Thank you!

Bro every lens video you mistakenly describe the effect of aperture blades. Please someone get him to read the comments as this is legitimately the 4th or 5th video I've seen with the same error about rounder bokeh when wide open. It's kind of funny too because other reviewers don't even emphasize the detail in the first place.

Wow Manny you've done it again brother! Another great video content. Your knowledge base on all these types of lenses is incredible 👏
I have followed you for a couple years now and I've always appreciated your deep influences of photography, which convinced me to buy gear and get into photography myself. But unfortunately time got away from me when I got diagnosed with cancer and now all I do is spend every minute with my daughter, my little twin because life is short and never promised 💔
Born and raised in Chicago in Logan Square, I take time with my daughter and show her all the beauty of Chicago and try my best to build as much memories of us together ❤️
I thought of doing a photo shoot or video of some sort of us but never took the next steps to learn. Hopefully one day! 🙏 Thank you for devoting your time and sharing your knowledge and experiences to the world 🌎
Blessings to you brother 🙏

does anyone know what the arm used to hold the gopro for bts recording is called?

That 85 on the Z9 crushed that Cannon, YIKES!

Thanks for the review. Awesome!!

Your follower from Iraq, my friend, I hope to try the lens in outdoor photography and not in the studio. I love you

people who say the looks dont matter are boring and soulless
