Nikon-Z7-00015

There aren't a lot of photographers who have used every Nikon Z lens. And actually, I'm not one of them - I still need to test two, the Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 Noct and the newest Z 35mm f/1.4. But I have tested 38 of the 40 (plus both TCs),...

At times, wildlife photography can feel strictly descriptive: a bird on a stick, a giraffe on the savannah, a butterfly on a flower, and so on. Nothing wrong with that - most of the photos I take fall into that category. Still, when I can, I try to find moments...

Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 vs Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7

July 4, 2024 By Adam Sheridan 30 Comments

Nikon 180-600 2

The Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 and the Tamron Z 150-500mm f/5-6.7 are currently the two longest telephoto zoom lenses available natively for the Z mount. Because of this, they will likely appeal to a similar type of photographer, and it’s easy to wonder which one is right for you.

The Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 is a budget supertelephoto zoom lens currently available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fuji X mirrorless cameras. Despite the substantial 500mm focal length, the lens is relatively lightweight and small.

Before you swat that annoying mosquito that's just sucking your blood, hold on. This week is Insect Week. I have generously given a lot of blood to mosquitos over the past few weeks and didn't even get any photos of them in return. Instead, I tried to photograph butterflies in...
