Nikon Announces Development of 85mm f/1.2 and 26mm f/2.8 Lenses
In their first announcement of 2023, Nikon has revealed the development of two upcoming lenses: the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.2 S and the Nikon Z 26mm f/2.8. Neither of these lenses will surprise you if you’ve kept an eye on Nikon’s roadmap, and we still don’t know most of the lenses’ specs.
What Are Anamorphic Lenses, and Should You Get One?
Anamorphic lenses can offer a unique look both for photos and videos, but they’re unusual to work with and require special post-processing care. Some recent anamorphic lenses have made them less expensive than ever before. So, is now the time to look at adding an anamorphic lens to your bag?

Photographing Landscapes… With the Nikon 800mm f/6.3?
I just returned from Bosque Del Apache, a beautiful wildlife refuge in New Mexico, where I spent a week testing the Nikon Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S. Yes, our copy of Nikon’s longest Z lens finally arrived! Of course, as a landscape photographer, I mainly used it for landscapes, not wildlife.
Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 Review
Sometimes, a lens that’s enjoyable to use will find a permanent place in your bag, even if it has some optical flaws. That’s how I feel about the Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8, which is one of Nikon’s smallest and lightest lenses ever. I carried the Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 around the world to Iceland, Zion National…
Maximum and Minimum Aperture in Photography, Explained
Understanding aperture in photography is key to creating great photos. One of the most important considerations is the difference between "maximum aperture" and "minimum aperture." You'll constantly hear photographers use these terms, but they can sound like gibberish if you don't have the right background knowledge. So, today, I’ll explain...
My Favorite Photography Deals of the Holiday Weekend
There are lots of great Black Friday deals still left for photographers that have carried over past Cyber Monday. From sales on Nikon F-mount lenses to a good deal on Topaz software, here are some of the ones that stand out to me the most.
Nikon Z 40mm f/2 Review
For years, one of the biggest reasons to choose a mirrorless camera over a DSLR was to save weight. Not all of today's mirrorless cameras follow that pattern - just look at the Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9 - but saving weight is still a high priority for many...
