This footage was posted by Impress-Watch.  The introduction of 58/0.95 Neo-Noct starts at 2:00.  On the large monirotor next to the tripod, you can see how the lens sees the world.  Could be an itching teaser?!

I read a rumour of a price of 6000.

The price seems to be higher than OTUS by a whole step.   :o :o :o

You would need to double the diameter of the front element to avoid the catseye bokeh.   :o :o :o

Z6 has taken a prominent place in my normal everyday picture taking and at work as well. A token of one of the latest promotional shoots. An alley next to Jerez´s cathedral works as a background. Lens working between f1.4 and f2.8
1.58mm
2. 28mm (close to dx crop)
3. 105mm


   I have shot a couple of shows with led lights, one bad, one horrible but the little z6 manage to work them through
Paco, very nice.  I particularly like the B&W  ;) .  Interesting, Jerez (and surrounding area) has always been one of my favourite locations in Europe.  :)

I own and love the 1.4/105E, I just bought the 2/200VR and will see if I love it...

Paco, you and your Z6 do justice to the excellent flamenco dancer.

I'm still processing images from my big 4 day Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus.

I was hired by a company to work on Saturday for them all day.  They gave me a D5 and 24-70/2.8 to use.
On that, quickly before getting into the Z6....I am so glad I cannot afford the D5.  My GOD that thing is a crafted piece of beauty and power!

I had it powered on from 8am until 8pm, took almost 3000 shots with it and the battery was still registering full.  I had it on CH12 and AF-C/D9 and it just killed it all day long.  Even swapped out the 24-70/2.8 and popped on my Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC.  Didn't miss a beat.

Now for the Z6.  It killed it too.  I'm honestly starting to get a little PO'd with the internet Youtubers and bloggers.  They trashed the hell out of this camera for AF performance.   While I will concede that it is not at a D5/D500 level...I'm getting as good an AF performance out of this thing as I was my D700/D750 for the boxing I shot, images attached below.

I shot H+ motor drive, AF-C with dynamic area AF.  Where I was shooting from I held the camera down on the ring apron below the bottom rope and used the rear LCD, actuated the shutter with the normal release.    I used the Z 35mm f/1.8S and it was fantastic.  Tack sharp, quickly focused on what I needed.

I even shot standard JPG...so I'm not even tapping into the power of RAW with the images below.  When Nikon decides to crack the ultimate performance of the on sensor phase detection....well, that's another discussion for another time.

Anyway, please enjoy the images below.   I was shooting between 1/500 and 1/1000 of a second at f/2.2 and f/2.8.   ISO was running around 1600-2500.
