Nikon Z6 II + Tamron 35-150mm f2.0-2.8 Di III VXD

Nikon Z6 II

The Nikon Z6 II builds on the success of the Z 6. In addition to its ruggedness and ease of use, it offers the ability to record professional-quality movie sequences. Added to this is its photographic performance. The camera is resistant to dust and dripping water, making it suitable for continuous shooting even under adverse conditions. Thanks to the new ability to freely select the direction of rotation of the focusing ring, users can focus manually in the usual way.

Videos can be output by the camera for FX and DX image formats in 4K/UHD and Full HD. Meanwhile, the HLG recording format records more detail, wider dynamic range and higher contrast. Post-processing becomes largely unnecessary as a result. Eye AF and Animal Detection AF enhancements provide more precise subject focus even when shooting video.

These AF features also provide excellent results when shooting stills, keeping pace with the camera's increased speed and performance. The Nikon Z6 II supports continuous shooting at 14 fps and a higher maximum number of shots: 200 JPEGs or 124 images losslessly compressed in 12-bit RAW format in one burst.

The Nikon Z6 II is aimed at users who want to capture cinema-quality movie footage as well as still photos with a compact system. The camera is ideal for professional video production or wedding photography, for example, where maneuverability, flexibility, and uncompromising imaging performance are essential

Nikon Z bayonet

Both cameras use the Nikon-Z bayonet, which allows light to reach the far corners of the image sensor. Combined with the growing selection of NIKKOR-Z lenses or the more than 300 compatible NIKKOR lenses with F bayonet that can be attached to the FTZ bayonet adapter, Nikon's tradition of optical excellence and innovation reaches unprecedented new heights.

Creative in any light
The large-diameter Z bayonet and large 24.5 MP full-frame sensor ensure low-noise images with the highest detail across the exceptionally wide ISO range. With a lens speed of 1:2, "low-light autofocus" now works down to a light level of -6 EV.

Photosthis much faster
are recorded at about 14 fps with full autofocus tracking and auto exposure adjustments. Up to 200 JPEGs or 124 losslessly compressed 12-bit RAW images are possible in one shooting series.

Two EXPEED processors
Two processors double the available performance - from autofocus to buffer capacity

.

The conversion is silky smooth, in filming as in shooting.

Two memory card compartments
Adaptation to different workflows is easy. UHS-II SD cards can be used in one compartment and XQD or state-of-the-art ultra-fast CFexpress cards in the other.

Multimedia powerhouse
Sharper and clearer movie shots with wider dynamic range

.

Eye AF and Animal Detection AF are available when shooting movies. And movie recordings can be output to external devices when needed.

Rugged
The extremely strong and lightweight construction of this camera is made of magnesium alloy. The camera is easy to carry and rugged enough to be used in any location. It is fully sealed to protect against dust, dirt and moisture.

NIKKOR Z
Achieve cinematic depth of field with the wide range of fast-focusing, fast and compact NIKKOR Z lenses

The versatility of the Z system
External flash units can also be used at high frame rates of up to 14 fps. The FTZ bayonet adapter (optional) provides compatibility with over 300 NIKKOR lenses with F bayonets.

SnapBridge
The continuously evolving Nikon SnapBridge app allows the camera's firmware to be updated via a smart device.

Tamron 35-150mm f2.0-2.8 Di III VXD Nikon Z

The 35-150mm F2-2.8 lens covers the commonly used focal length range from classic wide-angle to longer telephoto, and is the ideal choice for both travel and portrait photography. It is the first Zoom lens from Tamron with F2.0-2.8 aperture for cameras with Nikon Z bayonet. While the 35mm focal length is particularly suitable for shooting wide panoramas and large buildings, the 150mm telephoto can also be used for dynamic close-ups

World's first Zoom lens with F2-2.8 aperture

The 35-150mm F2-2.8 offers a maximum aperture of F2 at an initial focal length of 35mm, which is wider than conventional fast Zoom lenses whose maximum aperture is F2.8. In the wide-angle range, the 35-150mm F2-2.8 thus enables a more pronounced, more attractive bokeh effect. The high speed of F2 also allows the selection of faster shutter speeds and low ISO settings to prevent blur and noise

Versatile focal length range from 35mm wide-angle to 150mm telephoto

The universal Zoomrange of the 35-150mm F2-2.8 is ideal for travel and portrait photography. The range between 35mm and 50mm is particularly suitable for landscape and street photography, while 85mm as a light telephoto focal length is optimal for portraits and close-ups. At 150 mm, even distant objects can be brought into the picture in a big way. The convenient Zoomring allows quick focal length changes between wide-angle and telephoto without having to remove the camera from your eye or interrupt shooting

Outstanding imaging performance throughout the Zoom range

The optical construction of the 35-150mm F2-2.8 incorporates four LD (Low Dispersion) and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements, ensuring excellent image quality across the entire focal length range. Even in conjunction with ultra-high-resolution camera sensors, consistently high imaging performance is achieved from the optical center to the edge of the image. This is complemented by a harmonious bokeh effect that can only be achieved with very large apertures. The universal focal length range enables a wide range of creative expression and combines six classic fixed focal lengths in one lens 35 mm, 50 mm (normal or standard focal length), 85 mm (medium telephoto, "portrait lens"), 100 mm, 135 mm and 150 mm (telephoto) as well as all focal lengths in between

Fast and silent VXD autofocus for precise focusing

35-150mm F2-2.8's VXD autofocus is based on a powerful linear motor that focuses on the selected image area with the utmost precision, even at large apertures and regardless of shooting distance. Even when tracking moving subjects, the responsive VXD technology ensures reliable focus tracking. In addition, because the AF motor is virtually silent, the 35-150mm F2.-2.8 is the ideal choice for photo and video shooting in situations where silence is required

Short close-up distance for versatile use

The 35-150mm F2-2.8's minimum focusing distance allows full concentration on the subject without worrying about shooting distance. At 35mm position, the shortest focusing distance is only 0.33m and a maximum magnification of 1:5.7 is achieved. This enables image compositions with an expressive depth effect, as the large aperture of F2 blurs the background into an attractive blur even in wide-angle shots, while details of the main subject are razor-sharp

Compatible with TAMRON Lens UtilityTM for advanced photo and video functions

The 35-150mm F2-2.8 is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility, which allows for expanded photographic expression. Among other things, the TAMRON-developed software allows users to update lens firmware off-camera, as well as use various focus functions for technically advanced photo and video capture.

For example, with A-B focus, users can limit focus to two preset focus points and shift focus from one area of the frame to another using the focus button on the lens. Also, in manual focus (MF) mode, the user can choose between linear and non-linear focus, which affects the way the focus shifts during
