I received my lightly used copy of the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 on Friday. My initial impressions were holy cr*p is it big. Second reaction was a big freaking grin on my face when I mounted it on my wife's J4 and started focusing. Wow, wow, wow. What a focal range: 189-810mm FX equivalent...

My stepson had his first little league game today. He is on the autism scale so plays on a Challenger team. The little leagues in Eastern Pennsylvania all have organized teams for the special needs kids. The "regular" teams each take a turn every season shadowing the Challenger team. It is fun...

After recent trips to Europe for the Christmas markets and a Key West getaway where my wife used my V2, I showed her the J4 recently on closeouts. She liked that it was white and that the 10-30 PD-Zoom lens didn't have a cap. I've been pretty impressed with the sharpness of the lens versus the...

Some of you may remember a couple years ago when I purchased and reviewed Think Tank's Mirrorless Mover 20 which was one of the first bags specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. A few of you even accused me of getting you in trouble with the family accountant when you purchased one. :p...

Processing an image from our recent Key West trip. Ran this one through Silver Efex. Not sure which I prefer. Hoping for some feedback.

Waking up to day 3 of a quick 5 day trip to Key West, Florida. A balmy -1° F the morning we left and then folks back home received 5" of snow last night. Perfect timing. Added a second V2 body which has been a lot of fun to use. Keeping the 10-100mm on one and either one of the primes or the...
