That tunnel is really cool! It would make for a nice portrait setting!

I roll my back out daily, stretch and do quite a bit of strength training every week. Though in my mid-40s I'll see how long I can maintain this fitness level! 😁

My carbon road bike in it's completed iteration! Shot with the Nikon 1 J5 + 28mm pancake:

My D750 + Sigma 50mm f/1.4 HSM (non-ART) and D7500 + Yongnuo 35mm f/2 AF lens in full street mode!

On Fred Miranda, there's a thread about using the FTZ rear metal mount/gasket and swapping it over to the 40mm f/2 and 28mm f/2.8 Z lenses. Though people got upset when I mentioned how Nikon was forcing people to do ridiculous modifications to their lenses for something that should have come...

This is just a quick first impressions with the Yongnuo 35mm f/2 AF lens for Nikon F-mount. I recently picked up a D7500 to shoot my kids' soccer games, because I wanted the APS-C crop without having to lug around bigger FF lenses. I liked the camera so much I wanted to get a small prime for it...

When I was shooting only DSLRs, it made sense to shoot camera brand lenses based on optimal auto focus performance. Though with CDAF/OSPDAF, 3rd party glass will focus just as accurately on mirrorless cameras. Plus USB docks for Samyang/Tamron/Sigma, etc. allow precise focus tuning (something...

I've gotten rid of all my Sony native glass. All I have are Samyang primes, a Tamron zoom and an adapted Sigma 50mm. I don't shoot sports action and I don't need a stop-action movie when it comes to action sequences. 15fps is plenty for 3rd party glass!

I did a photo walk with Ed on his birthday earlier this year. I'd be fun doing a shoot with new Zf bodies! :D

If you get a Zf, keep us posted John! I have a nice collection of Samyang AF lenses that would pair nicely with the Zf if it works. Plus I have a collection of Nikon AI-S glass for those times I want to go MF.

I want the Zf bad! I've gotten out of the rat race of cameras (focusing more on other things like carbon race bikes), but the Zf looks so sexy. It'd pair well with aging D750 camera bodies I refuse to get rid of! I can see myself using the Zf as crossover body for my Sony//Nikon gear and my...

My latest bike build. I swapped all the parts from my old carbon frame, to my new carbon frame that took 2 months from order to delivery. She rides like a beast!

Actually the top bike is my road bike. It's geared higher with a larger front crank, skinny slicks and more weight reduction. The bottom bike is my gravel bike, it's geared lower with smaller front crank, supple wide tires and bigger cassette. My road bike is the only way I can keep up with...

My 2 road and gravel steeds!
