Nikon Lens Reviews

After well over a year, maybe two of neglecting my Sigma sdQuattro-h  I charged its totally flattened battery and took a couple of panos with the IR-cut filter removed and an R72 IR filter placed in front of a 1983 Soviet Mir 20M 30mm f3,5 lens adapted to the camera to produce these two photos.

I quoted a client on doing some pack shots for their flavoured sparkling water last year and they got back to me last week wanting to book a shoot. Errr...

Last month I finally pulled the trigger on a Mac mini M4. I got the base model with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. So far I am not displeased with the performance, although I have not really put it to the test by trying to edit any 4K video.

I was taking a few test shots for somebody who is interested in buying my 35-100/2.8 Lumix G lens and I saw these leaves were being backlight with the afternoon sun. 

Last month I started uploading unedited video footage that I have taken on many of the photographic safaris I hosted in Southern Africa from 2012 - 2019.

Fascinating story about how a photographer ended up with a box full of unprocessed 35mm films from the 1960's San Francisco "scene" (Haight / Ashbury, etc). They don't know who took the pictures but the ones that they have processed already are remarkably good.

If I’m looking for lenses I want to carry with me in the field, I get practical fast. I’m not even talking about hiking real distance, but just what I want to have in the car and available at stops I make.
