For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be writing our weekly news in place of Libor as he travels to – you guessed it! – South America. I understand that he has some of the backordered Nikon Z telephotos with him, so keep an eye out for reports on those lenses when he returns. Now for the news!

Nikon Z 17-28mm f/2.8 Announced – And Nikon’s Strategy Grows Clearer
A second rebranded Tamron lens is coming to the Nikon Z system – this time, an ultra-wide. When the rumors started last week, some photographers hoped that DX would see a bit of love with an adapted Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8, but instead, the lens announced today is the Nikon Z 17-28mm f/2.8.
Photography News: Rumored Nikon Lenses, Nikon Trade-In Event
This landscape was one of the first things I photographed with my new Nikon Z 24-120 mm f/4 S lens. A really great lens for traveling, by the way. Can you tell what volcano is in the photo? I'll give you a hint! The horses grazing so idyllically around the...
Photography News: DxO Sale, Canon Lens Rumors
Before we get into the news of this week, let me ask you a question. How do you prepare for a photographic expedition? For example, I clean my equipment, charge all my batteries, and sharpen my machete – but most importantly, I study the resources available to get the most out of the place I’m going.
Big Fuji Announcements: X-H2 Camera, 2 Lenses, & Grip
Fujifilm just announced perhaps its most anticipated camera of the year, the 40-megapixel X-H2. With 20 FPS stills, 8K video, and subject-detection autofocus, the Fuji X-H2 aims to be a serious APS-C alternative to cameras like the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1 — but for $2000 instead of $5500+. Alongside the X-H2,...

Photography News: Nikon Lens Sale, Leica 35mm Film Camera
I promised you a flood of vivid colours from the (neo)tropics of Ecuador. But the image I shared with you in the last Photography News was completely black and white, so I'll try to fix it now. I guess I'll never get tired of photographing hummingbirds. Their frenetic activity at...
Nikon Z Is Getting a 70-300mm Lens! (From Tamron)
Tamron has announced their first-ever lens for the Nikon Z system (not counting the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 that was… heavily inspired, let’s say, by Tamron’s version of the lens). It’s a 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3, the same as their existing Sony E lens, and it fills one of the most glaring holes in Nikon’s lens lineup.
Photography News: Hasselblad X2D Rumor, Hard Drive Sales
My Ecuador expedition is over. It's time to sort out the memories and also the photographs. What I love about traveling are the places that provide the eyes with different flavors than they normally experience. Such as the scene of fishermen in Puerto López bringing out their night catch from the...
Photography News: Tamron 20-40mm Lens, Leica Discount
If any place in the world can be described as the global epicentre of biodiversity, is it the village where I am writing this Photography News for you? I'm sitting on a covered terrace in Mindo, Ecuador, rain drumming on the tin roof above me, sipping jugo de Guanábana and...
