They called me an hour before close that my lens was in! I scrambled down to the camera shop and immediately went out to test it out. To say that this lens and the Z8 are a great match is an understatement.
Here are a few shots. Some at full 45mp, and others were at 19mp, shot in DX crop...

Picked up a Nikon F4 a few months back and now I'm keen to run a roll through it. View-finder is missing the rubber ring on the eye-piece - those actually seem pretty rare and pricey. But I'd be happy with a DK-2 (also seemingly rare and pricey). DK-19's seem to have cheaper off-brand options -...
The title says it all, let's pay homage to this old little gem. And since the AT-X pro version has - AFAIK - the same optical internals, it fits under the same title as well.

Just received an email from Nikon with some pretty good refurbished deals. $1000 off a Z9 and many z mirrorless kits.

So now I have had the Z50 just over a year and thought it could be good to sum up some things I have thought of.
My inital first impressions that I wrote (see below), is still valid I think. I have come to not bother too much about the negative aspects, except one. Anyway, here it goes:

Was puttering around this afternoon and after I realized that the problems I had on my last roll with my N90S were probably due to the fact that the aperture follower wasn't moving and got that sorted out, I set all of my Nikon gear out on my card table. Now I realize it's not much compared to...

HI,
I have a special question regarding the performance of this lens on the z6ii.
For sports photography, will the combination of the Nikon z6ii + Nikkor Z 70-200 2.8 or the Nikon Z8 + Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Nikon with reduction be better?
The question is whether it is better to...

My, what a beast of a camera it is at that. Noticably bigger and just that bit heavier than the D7100 but not so much as to be too much. The differences in the control layout will take some getting used to and taking real advantage of the ease of, say, adjusting WB will be something new.

So spent 3 hours shooting 18 holes of a local pro disc golf tournament.

So just got this thing a few hours ago. I did get a chance to get out for an hour and give it a run through.

Nothing really special but after the trouble figuring out how to run it :) Used the 50/1.4 AF & 20/2.8 AF-D. I will note that getting used to it's metering will take a wee bit.

Hi good users of nikon!
My well loved d3100 is getting a bit finicky where it locks up and I have to take out the battery and well. I think about getting something new. Have read reviews and watched to many youtube things about this now.

It looks like, thanks to the way the calendar is going to fall out, that I may actually have the money for a used Nikon FX body. Say ~$500 to 600 around 7/21.

After having picked up a couple of Nikon 1s, a V1 and a J4, I am quite a bit fascinated by the output of those tiny rascals, but I dont find the files very mallable, quite the opposite, they break easily but even broken gives some pleasure in the results, so there is that.

I’ve been working on the meter on my early 70’s black paint Nikkormat FTn. After the latest round of work I took it out with a roll of Ilford XP2 Super loaded to test it. Still needs a little more work but it’s getting there. I used my 50/1.4 & 105/2.5.
There aren't a lot of examples from the Nikon D40 here; we don't even have a proper showcase thread. However, I've been scrubbing through my old archive. I owned this diminutive, some would say stripped-down, capable camera from 2007 to 2013. It was my first good camera, one which I could...

Less than the price of a Nikon D1. When it was new.
You may be surprised by this, but this lens is fantastic on the Z fc.
I got the 18-140 f-mount to use with the Fuji Finepix S3 Pro. I then thought, I really like the range of the 18-140 on DX, so I wonder how well it would work on the Z cameras.
