Canon EOS R6 II Announcement + 135mm f/1.8 Lens

November 2, 2022 By Libor Vaicenbacher 7 Comments

Canon EOS R6 Mark II

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is the first camera in the R-line to receive a second generation. And no wonder. The original EOS R6 was a very popular camera that shared many genes with its more expensive EOS R5 and even EOS R3 siblings, while costing substantially less. In...

An Interesting Rolling Shutter Effect: The Magic of the Unwanted

Golden-tailed Sapphire_RSE

Maybe it's happened to you, too - and not necessarily in photography. Perhaps you accidentally put an ingredient in your soup, or meant to pass the ball but kicked it toward the net instead. And the result? You scored. It's known as a happy accident; I call it the "magic...

Mallard II_800mm

My little quiz in the latest Photography News was not too challenging for you. Most of you correctly guessed that the lens I used to take the Masked Flowerpiercer photo was indeed the Nikon Z 400 mm f/4.5 VR S, which I then wrote about a few days ago. This...

Dawn Kish: Photographing Tad’s Emerging World

Imagine Yosemite without Half Dome, Zermatt without the Matterhorn, or Iceland without scores of photographers fighting for position to shoot the same waterfall posted a hundred times already on Instagram that morning. As photographers, it’s easy to take our grand landscape opportunities for granted. But in some cases, landscapes aren’t...

Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S vs 400mm f/4.5 VR S

nikon 400mm vs humminbbird

Until recently, owners of Nikon Z mirrorless cameras had no choice if they wanted to shoot with long telephoto lenses: They had to use an FTZ adapter and an F-mount lens. But this is slowly starting to change. Two of the first native Nikon Z telephoto lenses are both 400mm...

Sony A7R V Camera Front View

Sony just announced the next addition to their high-resolution A7R camera lineup with the A7R V, which sports an upgraded processor and focusing system compared to the prior A7R IV. Although 61-megapixel BSI sensor is the same as the previous generation, there are lots of other improvements behind the scenes. Let’s take a look!

Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S Review

October 25, 2022 By Spencer Cox 130 Comments

Nikon Z 24-120mm f4 S Lens

The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S has been one of the most highly anticipated Nikon mirrorless lenses yet – but it almost didn’t exist. In early versions of the Nikon Z roadmap, a 24-105mm was shown instead. Thankfully, Nikon scrapped that plan and eventually went with the 24-120mm design we have today.

Masked flowerpiercer_Ecuador

Before you check out this week’s Photography News, I have a little quiz for you. No, don’t worry, I won’t test your intelligence, nor will you learn anything uncomfortable about yourself. Think of it more as a teaser for an upcoming article. What 400mm lens did I use for the photo below – the Nikon Z…

What’s in my Camera Bag? – Nicholas Hess

Will today be the day I see a mountain lion? Or will I find some aquatic creature to photograph instead? Even if I have one particular species in mind, I never know for sure what I'll see when I set foot into nature. Instead, I try to be prepared to...

Do You Need a Fast Aperture Lens for Wildlife Photography?

October 20, 2022 By Libor Vaicenbacher 43 Comments

Antpitta colombia

“Just an f-stop or two.” This basically sums up the benefits of fast telephoto lenses. The difference between $3000 and $13,000 may be as simple as f/4 versus f/2.8. Is the price – and the weight – worth it for wildlife photography? I’ll try to answer that question in today’s article.
