Photoshoot and Beyond
Nikon has announced the new AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED lens for $2199. The lens is FX mount with internal focusing with manual override and a rounded 9-blade diaphragm. As you would expect from a lens of this caliber, it has three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat to minimize […]
This is one of those lenses that you almost don’t even know you want until somebody announces that it exists. I’ve been using my Nikon 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor as a portrait lens for years and always loved it. It’s one of my absolute favourites. I never really thought about a potentially faster version.

I will say, right off the bat, the photography itself is pretty amazing, but this video recently released by Canon is eerily similar to a D500 & SB-5000 promo video Nikon put out with Keith Ladzinski back in April. Canon’s “The Shot”, with Krystle Wright takes some speedlights and mounts them on drones in order to be able […]

Released in 2014, Tokina’s AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 Pro FX seems to do pretty well against the main competitors, and actually scored higher than Nikon’s current model 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR, released in 2015. So, if you’re a Nikon shooter […]

Gigapixel images have taken off like crazy over the last couple of years. With devices like the Gigapan and similar products becoming so readily available and the massive increase in sensor resolution lately, they’re becoming easier and easier to create. While typically used to document sporting or political events, or to show off an entire city, this is the […]

German website Fotografie is reporting that Nikon have received a “cease and desist” from disgruntled German D500 owner, Andreas V., for falsely advertising the camera’s Wi-Fi abilities. While the camera does indeed offer Wi-Fi, it can only be utilised via Nikon’s new Bluetooth connected SnapBridge system. At the moment, SnapBridge is only available to owners of compatible Android […]

This image, which puts unrequited love into a context that photographers can understand, seems to have been doing the rounds on Facebook today, although I’m not sure who put it together. The lens choices for the image are quite interesting. It’s easy to see how somebody could get worked up over the 200mm f/2, especially when one looks […]
