I used to work for Nikon cameras. From 1995 through 1999, I was Nikon UK’s Senior Photographic Advisor. My job was basically to be the guy in the building who knew what a camera was for! The job was the best for a while and I got to work with and meet many talented people. […]

When the Nikon 28mm f1. 4 came in for review and was announced, I was a bit hesitant. Why? Well, while I was excited about the lens for sure, I'm still not a person that believes that DSLRs are necessarily the future despite the fact that I acknowledge how good they are. thephoblographer.com »

In 2007, after several years of lagging behind Canon in the enthusiast and professional DSLR market, Nikon was doing alright. Not spectacularly, but they were hanging in there. The D200 was a popular and capable enthusiast model, and the professional D2x was a significant advance on the muddled 'h' and 's' releases of the past. dpreview.com »

These days, it's not uncommon to see timelapse videos shot with just still cameras; but it was very uncommon to see it back in 1997 and done with the Nikon F5. But a vintage ad (yes, because the 90s are vintage) This commercial was shot back in 1997 by Alastair Thain using the Nikon F5 camera! According to the YouTube description, this was the first time a stills camera had ever been used to shoot "moving images". thephoblographer.com »

We got our hands on Nikon’s newest premium bokeh beast, the AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/ 1. 4 ED, at a special event in Hong Kong and at Photokina. Right off the bat it was a big girl with a lot to love, showing curves in all the right places. digitalrev.com »

There was an interesting CP+ article discussing how various companies were going out of their way to change the focus of their marketing at this event to younger people, beginners, and females.

Sight was the first of our senses to be technologically shared in a world we did not witness with our own eyes. Photography—writing with light—has historically meant a one-to-one relationship between what was before a camera (defined as a lens focussing light on a recording media) and what came out the other end, created by a human.

The OM-1 Mark II has landed with more of a whimper than a bang. It's a great camera but there's not much new about it. However, the rush to pass judgment on what the lack of novel features means for the future of OM System and Micro Four Thirds at large is premature. [Read More]
This started as a continuation of the best and worst and I decided to change this into more of an opinion piece about what I wanted to see from Canon in 2024. These are my views only, that's why it's an opinion piece.
