I started with Nikon in my DSLR days and have since rebuilt a Nikon kit alongside my Fuji system. This hub lists the Nikon cameras and lenses I currently use, plus the bodies and glass I’ve owned or used extensively in the past. As with my Fuji page, everything here is grounded in long-term, real-world use — not spec sheets.

📷 Nikon Z6 III
My “do-everything” Nikon body — balanced resolution, confident autofocus, solid video, and comfortable ergonomics.
📷 Nikon Zf
Nikon’s most photographer-centric digital body — tactile controls, full-frame image quality, and a slower, more deliberate way of shooting.
📷 Nikon Z8
My higher-performance Nikon body when I want more headroom for action, portraits, and demanding light.

Why This Matters
Plenty of Nikon coverage online is built on brief loans or spec talk. Mine isn’t. From D-series lenses and DSLRs to modern Z bodies and primes, I buy, use, and live with this gear — and I write about how it behaves in the field, not just on paper.
If you want to know how a Nikon lens feels on a real day out — street walk, travel day or just family moments — I’ve probably shot it that way.
