The post As the Year Comes to a Close…. appeared first on Joe McNally Photography.
Very soon, and certainly already, as the holiday season continues, gifts are exchanged, and merriment ensues. For tots, brightly wrapped packages under the tree. Filled with….electronics.
Toys, cameras, video games, this and that, these and those, and many of these wonderful gifts will need….batteries. Tip of the holiday hat here to our dear friends at Maha, the small shop that makes Powerex batteries. Secure, powerful, rechargeable, go-to batteries. Sometimes I get queried, “What always goes in the field with you?” And certainly a true answer would always be, “Powerex batteries.”
And the folks at Maha couldn’t be nicer and more down to earth. They listen and help across the board. So, when you try out that new Speedlight, or your little one fires up the newly arrived fleet of remote controlled robots, these potent sources of energy are handy to have stockpiled around.
They also make these incredibly useful little lanterns, that will burn for up to 100 hours in low mode, and charge your cell phone in a pinch. And the new ones have small, powerful magnets for sticking it to stuff, in addition to a hook.
We’ve worked with Maha for a number of years now, and their heart is in the right place. They’ve supported our friend George Divoky and his long and crucial research project up on Cooper Island, north of Alaska. No infrastructure out there on that deserted island, so battery life is crucial to, well, life.
As I have said, good folks, small company, great product. Happy holidays. And happy gaming, photographing, video-making, remote monster truck wheel spinning…..and the list goes on.

One of our readers, Libor Vaicenbacher, tested perhaps the first copy of the Nikon Z9 shipped to the Czech Republic and has sent us his initial impressions! We hope you enjoy this first look at the Z9 for wildlife photography, including full resolution NEF files for download.

The recent, unexpected announcement of the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 – with identical optics as the Tamron G1 28-75mm f/2.8 – makes me wonder what’s next. Will Nikon and Tamron work together on any more Z-series lenses? If so, these are the lenses they should prioritize.

Today, Nikon announced the development of the roadmap’s 800mm f/6.3 prime as well as an unexpected 28-75mm f/2.8 Z-series zoom lens. Of the two, the 28-75mm f/2.8 is the big surprise and not exactly what it appears to be at first glance. Here’s what we know so far.
