Used Cameras and Lens Reviews
When Nikon made the jump from the F mount, with all it’s years of history, to the new Z mount, it promised that the larger mount and shorter flange distance would allow for better lens designs. I’ve had the Nikon AF-S 85mm 1.8G (hereafter 85mm 1.8G) for close to 10 years now, and I managed…
When Nikon announced the Nikon Z 35mm 1.4 for their mirrorless bodies, I was pleasantly surprised. First, everything thought that the Nikon Z 35mm 1.2 would be the brighter lens of the 35mm series, after the excellent Nikon Z 35mm 1.8 S, known for its excellent sharpness wide open. Suddenly, we had a relatively affordable…
The Nikon DX camera lineup started with the Nikon Z50, a capable APS-C camera using a similar 20 megapixel sensor as the DSLR D500, ie. a tried and trusted image machine. The Z50 was released way back in October 10th 2019, before the pandemic, and likely many Z camera users got one as a backup…
The Nikon Z50 was released in November 2019, about 1 year after the initial release of the full frame mirrorless cameras Z6 and Z7. Initially, upon the spec leaks, many Nikon fans groaned at the lacklustre specs, at that time, an APS-C sensor that was already in use for several years in the D500, no…
When the Nikon Z50 (my thoughts here) was released in 2019, many Nikon photographers were dismayed when there were only 2 native lenses at launch and even now in 2021 there is only one more additional DX lens in the Nikon roadmap. It was then up to 3rd party lens manufacturers to fill the void,…
The Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4D has been released almost 20 years ago. It has compatibility with both new and old cameras, with it’s AF-S motor but still retaining the aperture ring (pictured). As mentioned in the title, it is even compatible with the Z series cameras! Having used this lens for birding for the past…
When I first purchased my Nikon Z50 2 months ago, I enjoyed the lightweight, compact nature of the camera together with the 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens as well as the Meike 25mm f/1.8 prime lens. The Nikon Z50 has a small grip What I didn’t find particularly nice, however, was how cramped the grip was,…
The Nikon D300s was the minor refresh of the the excellent D300 that was the APS-C younger sibling of the full frame Nikon D3, a game changer back then due to the powerhouse specs that gave sports photographers worldwide an incredible camera that spits out full frame images at 9FPS or 11FPS in DX crop.…
The Nikon D200 was released in 2005, back when digital photography was still in it’s nascent stages and film was still reigning. The professional grade D1, D1X and D1H have already been released on the Nikon roster alongside the Nikon F5 (film pro grade body). According to DPRreview, the D100 (my thoughts on the D100…
The Nikon D100 was released in 2001, back when digital photography was still in it’s nascent stages and film was still reigning. The professional grade D1, D1X and D1H have already been released on the Nikon roster alongside the Nikon F5 (film pro grade body). According to DPReview, the D100 started a new camera segment…
