I was just watching some YouTube today… post stomach bug recovery, and I came across this video demonstrating a monster 6mm f2.8 fish eye lens being used on a Z9 via an FTZ adapter. I just thought it was pretty amazing lens was made made in 1972. It is the widest lens Nikon has ever made. Some...

Figured I needed a thread started. I have been dragging my feet this year. The moon was handheld with the 2x Z TC.

Well, I went out and bought the 70-200 f2.8 and it came in last night. I have to say that I do love this lens. I have not been able to get out and use it today. To much stuff going on here today but I did get to take a shot of my reluctant model. Just a quick one. I sold my Tamron 70-200...

Well Thursday Pat and I got home from a night out with friends. When we were settling in Pat complained of a bad headache. Whenever that happens I have here check her Blood Pressure. After what happened to me it is just a safety measure, but before we could find the BP cuff she started to just...

My Mom was diagnosed with a UTI a couple months ago and she was pretty confused because of it, but three weeks ago on Saturday my sister took her to the emergency room. By Sunday evening they determined she had 3 tumors in her brain, but they were inoperable. The only option was chemo or...

I got an email today with a number of refurbished cameras and lenses for sale. The one that got my attention was the Z6II for $1699 body only. Seems to be a fairly good price for refurb. There were other items as well including a good price on the D500, D850 and an $999.95 price on the Nikon...

I meant to put this up earlier in the week. Nikon has some pretty good sales on Z50, Z5, Z6 and Z7 right now. There are also some really nice discounts on the Z mount lenses. The Z5 has a $400 to $500 discount depending on the combination purchased. The Z5 with the 24-200 lens has the $600...

Steve Perry released a review of the Z6II and Z7II for wildlife. Spoiler alert he says they are pretty good and compared with the 750 and 780. For me that rates as a pretty good review from Steve. Here is a link to the video https://youtu.be/YqKaUjjaA70

Ricci put together an announcement video. The Z9 is way out of budget, but I am kind of anxious to see what the are going to come out with. Will they really be able to put together the replacement for the single digit D model Nikons. At the end of the video Ricci asks for input. What...

Received this video link from Steve Perry's site, Back Country Gallery. It was an interesting discussion about ISO. I found it kind of interesting. Like most of his videos he always has good info. https://youtu.be/vRUhfKJUzwg

Well, I went all in a bought an Apple iMac 27 and it came in Wednesday afternoon. Thursday I upgraded from 8 to 64GIG of RAM and I got PS and LR loaded last night and Topaz tools today. In the realm of "I have no idea of what I am doing", I am working my way out. My guess would be I am still...

I have an AD200 and I do utilize Magmod lighting modifiers etc. There is this one thing i had struggled a bit to use. Seemed, unlike everything else with Magmod, there was no engineered solution to mount the AD200 with the Magshoe. This morning I got a video that finally had the seceret key...

First shots of the year is a baptism of a friend. Seems most of my photos have been at Church these days. Yes the pool is treated.

I just looked at the announcement material at Nikon USA regarding the Nikon Z6II and Z7II, and I am impressed. The new Dual Processors sound pretty impressive, and I am anxious to see what some good reviewers have to say about them...(that would be anyone other than T&C, the angry guy, and...

Steve Perry is offering a new video course on focus stacking. The option is available on the Z5, 6, 7, D85 0, D6, and D780. I haven't purchased it yet but I always like Steve's videos and books. The cost is about 15 dollars...

This is a pretty good interview of Nikon Execs. A lot is about mirrorless but there is some about the business and the impact of COVID-19 and their recovery...
