This year, I finally made a complete move to the Nikon Z system. It’s true that I’ve owned the Nikon Z6 for a while now, but it wasn’t my main camera as its autofocus simply wasn’t good enough for most wildlife scenarios. Recently, I moved to the Nikon Z8, and while it’s a great camera, is it really an upgrade from my trusty Nikon D500?

A photograph should tell a story, but sometimes it’s hard to fit the whole tale into a single frame. I’m sure you have plenty of stories to share, and I’d love to see and hear them! If you like, starting today, you can send me a series of 3-10 photos, each with a caption, and a short story that ties them together. I’ll select three submissions to publish. Who knows, this might be laying the foundation for a new series that will inspire you to pick up your camera more often.

Viltrox just released the AF 15mm f/1.7 Air, a wide and fast APS-C lens with autofocus. This lens is available for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Fuji X. I think it could be especially interesting for Nikon Z shooters who don’t have very many dedicated DX lenses, especially fast primes. In this review, I’ll share my experience testing the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air and show how it performs.

The Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 is a fast, all-metal lens designed with excellent build quality and image quality in mind. Today, I wanted to offer my full review of this manual focus lens and show you how it performs both in the field and in the lab.

Modern digital cameras are amazing. They are devices capable of nearly any photographic task thrown at them: high resolution images, eye autofocus, blazing fast frame rates, and much more. I use a Nikon Z9 for my daily work, and it does everything I need it to do without any issue or challenge. With all that being said, however, it’s not a device that brings me joy to use. It’s a tool, and it does its job well. But the reason I got into photography in the first place was not to use a tool, but because I love photography. Film has been making a comeback for the past several years, and I thought that it was something I’d like to try.
