The biggest photography news this week was undoubtedly the announcement of Nikon’s newest full-frame camera – the Z5 II. Thanks to the kindness of Nikon’s Czech branch, I got my hands on the country’s very first copy just hours after it landed in their office. More importantly, the next morning before sunrise, I was already in the woods with the camera, testing it on my favorite subjects. For the sake of authenticity, I’ll use a photo of the very first bird that landed on the Z5 II’s sensor as the illustration for this weekly roundup.

This Friday, I set my alarm for the early hours to catch the peak of bird activity.

In the macro photography world, light is a crucial ingredient. However, in the eternal battle for light, we often find ourselves either struggling with its scarcity or dealing with its uninspiring quality. A popular solution for macro photography is a flash – but there is also a place for constant lights. In this review, I will discuss the latter: a small, affordable, yet versatile LED for macro photography called the Rollei Lumis Solo 2.
