The Nikon Z7 II
I made the decision to trade in the D850 and D5 for the Z7 II and trade in most of my F-mount lenses to switch to the new Z-mount system. Did I make the right choice?
The Nikkor Z 70-200 f/2.8 S Lens
The Nikon Z 70-200 f/2.8 VR S is one of the most advanced lenses ever made by Nikon and in order to improve upon the quality of the F-mount AF-S 70-200 f/2.8E FL VR Nikon have put every last drop of their latest tech into this lens.
The Nikkor Z 24-70 f/2.8 S Lens
When Nikon announced the Nikon Z 24-70 f/2.8 S lens there were a lot of questions about how its performance would compare to the F-mount and f/4 lenses. This is however one of the best 24-70 f/2.8 zoom lenses Nikon has ever made.
The Nikkor Z 14-24 f/2.8 S Lens
Nikon has a reputation for making some of the best ultra wide angle lenses available. Nikon released the Nikkor Z 14-24 f/2.8S lens in November 2020. Is the new lens better than its predecessors?
Nikkor AF-S 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR Lens
After months of waiting for stock to arrive in the UK I received my Nikon NIKKOR AF-S 500 f/5.6 PF ED VR lens. Unpacking the lens from its trademark gold box my first impressions were how small and light the lens was.
Nikkor AF-S 300mm f2.8 IF ED VR II Lens
Nikon has created the perfect lens with the AF-S 300 f/2.8 IF ED VR II lens. Its optical performance, especially sharpness, is exceptional, autofocus is instantaneous and vibration reduction is highly effective even with the full range of teleconverters.
Kase Wolverine Magnetic Filters
New lenses for my switch to the Nikon Z system resulted in new filter thread sizes so after a little browsing on the internet and viewing of many YouTube reviews I decided to try out a new filter system.
Hello Nikon Z-mount
In a previous post I wrote about selling my Nikon NIKKOR F-mount lenses in order to make space and offset the costs of moving to a fully mirrorless system. After a while searching various online camera stores I finally was able to replace my older lenses with new Z-mount equivalents - well almost.
Goodbye Nikon F-mount, well almost…
After spending around two years testing the Nikon Z6 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) due to weight lifting issues after a serious medical episode I have finally decided that I am ready to fully embrace the mirrorless era in photography.
The Nikon Z 14-30 f/4 S Lens
After using the Nikon Z6 with the Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30 f/4 S zoom lens I thought it was time to review the performance of the lens and give my thoughts on how the lens performs and what I like and dislike about the Z 14-30 f/4 S..
The Nikon Z6 - 24 Months On
After using the Nikon Z6 for just over two years I thought it was time to review and give my thoughts on how the camera performs and what I like and dislike about the Z6.
The Switch to a New Camera
I thought Mirrorless Cameras would not compete with DSLRs until one day in 2019 when a medical emergency made me rethink my approach to photography.
