Outdoor matrix works well as the D750 has. face priority option in matrix metering, meaning it will recognise a face and bias the metering to get the face exposed properly (within reason). If you want to make sure you have the exact exposure then use manual exposure, get close ish to your 'model' and use spot metering on their cheek or similar area and set the parameters accordingly. I've never used filters for portraits (it's a genre I don't shoot much of unfortunately) but like most things you generally get what you pay for. Glass are generally better than plastic/resin, but are very easy to break/damage.
OK so on the D750 you have two things, face detection which is a metering system that prioritises exposure for a face if it recognises one in the frame. You have to set this to on in the menu, and then be in matrix metering for it to work. There is another thing called face priority AF in which the AF will track a person's face. This (I believe) can only be used in liveview, AFAIK you cannot use face 'tracking' in the viewfinder.Thanks for replying. Thought face detection is one of those focus thing that's similar to phone's camera with rectangle boxes around faces. Any tips using this face detection?

I never knew this. Every day’s a school day. Thanks
Have I missed what you're moving to?This will be my last wedding season as a Nikon shooter.
Ordered the replacement for one of the bodies today, will swap the other out next year.

Just finding myself using live view more and more, better engagement with clients and better angles. And the AF is so slow it's harder work than it should beWhat pushed you over the edge?
Seems quite a few Nikon wedding photographers moving to Sony at the moment.
As are the Canon shooters. I would guess quite a few along with myself where waiting for the release of the Canikon mirrorless options before making a decision and as the options where underwhelming have jumped ship. That was certainly the case for me, I am now switched over too Sony for weddings but will hold onto some Nikon stuff for other things.
Quite a few advantages for wedding photographers. Lighter set up, better a.f, eye a.f, no having to tune lenses, live view works, silent shooting option etc.
Yeah exactly this, and with the Nikon mirrorless being a different mount, it was just going to be like switching system anyway cost-wise.
I'm keeping one Nikon for now, with a couple of lenses
As long as it's not a wet wedding ......
I still think a Z6/Z7 might be worth a go when I swap out the one body.
Looking on their site they have 24 in stock, too many people leaving Nikon for Sony...[emoji15]
Did my first low light event shoot last night with the D750 and have to say i was really disappointed with it's low light focus performance. I'd even go as far to say my D7200 does a better job in low light.
Any advice on best low light AF settings ?
The event was in a marquee with fairy lights and candles. I tried combinations of AFC, AFS with 5point, AUTO. Also with flash (sb800) and without.
Lenses were both Tamrons - 70-200 f2.8 / 24-70 f2.8
I ended up moving away from focusing on faces and trying white collars to get a decent contrast point to allow the camera to find focus, sadly missed a lot of photos while it hunted around. The AF-assist light helped from the flash but i believe this is only available in 'Auto' which normally chooses focus points i dont want. I like to use single point focus on eyes when possible and af-c
Hope this can be improved through settings or is the FF body more favourable to Nikon's own lenses ?

Possibly a lens rather than body issue have never had any issues with D750’s struggling in low light. It is one of their best features.
I thought that but why would both lenses struggle at times ?
So i haven't really posted much recently... so thought i'd post a few images from my first ever wedding (second shooter):

I got drenched on Friday walking back to the car too, I was using 2 lenses that aren’t weather proof too, all seem fine. They got some shelter under my coat when it got really heavy
Friday was also the first time I’ve used the D750 on quiet too (first Wedding with a videographer with these bodies) and it didn’t really seem that quiet on the whole
