Nikon AF 35mm f/2 D – Sample Photos and Mini Review – (Road Trip to NC)
I finally bought a used AF Nikon 35mm f/2 D. For many many years I actually used the DX (APS-C) 35mm f/1.8 on my various FF Nikons. Because I had it handily available, and its secret ability is that it actually has enough glass to cover the 24x36mm sensor. With clever editing you can get […]

The other day a friend gifted me an extended loan on an unused camera–a little Nikon D3500! I dislike labels, but this camera tier has always been branded as “entry level” by manufacturers, reviewers, and folks that do not shoot that much or get the most out of their tools. This super light traditional DSLR […]

Thanks to Donald for letting me borrow the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 a few weeks back. For the big dance show I thought about lens choices that would let me shoot from way in the back of the theater. I had concerns if f/5.6 was enough in those random lighting situations, but I think it worked […]

Happy Lunar New Year everyone, I’ve been shooting/editing photos from Nikon cameras for well over 20 years now. (Examples can still be found right here on this /Journal) From consumer digicams, to prosumer bridge cameras, to the affordable DSLR revolution back in the early 2000s. Is it my favorite camera system? Probably/maybe since I do […]
