Thousands of miles from their nearest iguanid relatives, and across the Pacific Ocean, live the marvelous, critically-endangered Fijian iguanas.

Nikon Z 50 f1,2_Samples__LVP3878-NEF

The persistent rain outside the windows made me search my archives for photos this week instead of going outside. But it wasn't a nostalgic trip back in time - it was a focused search for sample images from a particular lens, a review of which you'll soon be able to...
