I recently compared the Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8II lens against all the premium Fujfiilm primes in that focal range. The reason I did that was because the zoom lens is said by many to be like a bag of primes. The Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 isn’t quite in the same category in terms of how it … Read more
I bought the Nikon Zf because I wanted it to be a full frame Fuji X-T5, a modern Nikon Df and while it doesn’t really feel like a full frame X-T5, it’s still a capable camera. I bought the Nikon Z8 as I wanted one camera to do everything well and the Z8 absolutely nails … Read more
I bought the Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S to give me a relatively lightweight wide-angle lens for those occasions when my Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S wasn’t quite wide enough. Instead, I’ve found myself using it not for traditional wide vistas and expansive views of the Highlands, but on local walks through ancient woodland and … Read more
I’ve always had an absolute fascination and love for woodland. There is something magical about walking through huge ancient forests. The scale, the smells and the sounds all make me feel as if I belong there. Here in Perthshire we are absolutely spoiled for choice in terms of landscapes, whether it’s spectacular mountains and glens, … Read more
Photos from a quiet walk in the woods yesterday with the Nikon Z6III and 20mm f/1.8 S. Apologies for the lack of posts lately. I’m dealing with a few things behind the scenes at the moment and don’t really feel capable of writing anything meaningful right now. Sometimes just getting outside with a camera is … Read more
Last updated 13th September 2026: Having owned the Nikon Z8 for over a year now, I chose it as the core camera for my photography. Everything in this review as well as continued heavy use of the Z8 and Z system as a whole lead me to realise that it does everything that I need … Read more
I’ve owned and used a lot of different lenses on the Nikon Z system, including most of the main options in the standard zoom range — from the 24–200mm through to the 24–70mm f/2.8 S. But the one I’ve ultimately settled on as my main lens in this range is the 24–120mm f/4 S, thanks … Read more
If you’ve bought — or are thinking about buying — the Nikon Z8, which is one of the best cameras for photography available right now, then choosing the right lenses matters just as much as the camera itself. TL;DR: Best Lenses for the Nikon Z8 If you just want the quick answer, these are my … Read more
For the last week or so, I’ve been making the most of the longer evenings by heading up a local path that cuts between farmland near where I live. It’s become a bit of a routine — especially after school, when Sofia and I go out for a walk together. It gets us out into … Read more
I took the Nikon Z8 with the 14–30mm f/4 out on Thursday to a local glen for a few hours of landscape photography. The weather was mixed, with brief breaks of light pushing through passing April showers. I slung the camera over my shoulder on a Peak Design Slide Lite and headed up into the … Read more
