The Best Night Photography Lenses for Nikon Cameras
Nighttime photography is something that a lot of photographers enjoy; I certainly do, along with countless others. Modern cameras can capture more detail at night than we can see with our naked eyes, revealing entire worlds that couldn't exist otherwise. However, more than almost any other genre, night photography also challenges your camera equipment...
From Dusk Till Dawn – IRIX and NiSi
The title of this article closely resembles a Tarantino movie (and I originally wrote this close to Halloween weekend), but this is another story. It is a story that speaks of lenses, filters and the people behind them. And it describes the difficulties of doing a review when time and...

Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E VR Review
It took Nikon nine years to finally release an update to its popular workhorse standard zoom lens in the form of the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR, which gained a few new features compared to its predecessor, including the much-desired image stabilization. Nikon engineers have always put extra effort and...

This is an in-depth review of the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED lens that was released back in August of 2007 together with the 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens. I have owned a number of different copies of the Nikon 24-70mm for many years, pretty much from the day the lens was...
Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR Review
Recently I’ve been experiencing one of those existential photo crises. Low motivation, cliché results, slumping Instagram likes.
