INTRODUCTION THE MIDDLE-CLASS FULL FRAME Welcome to a review of the Nikon D750 DSLR camera, and this is one camera that I have considered as a replacement when my old D800E drowned in the sea (may it rest in peace). This middle-class full-frame camera is seemingly a pretty good replacement with a lot of features, […]

INTRODUCTION A PAINFUL REVIEW Welcome to a review of the Nikon D610 DSLR camera, and this is probably one of my most expensive reviews. Why? Because I baptized my old D800E in seawater and it went into an eternal coma… Repairs will cost a whopping $500++, and I finally decided to just buy a new

Welcome to my Muzo review, which is one of those crowdfunded gadgets that made quite a splash at Indiegogo and Kickstarter.

INTRODUCTION THE BIRTH OF ANOTHER KING? Welcome to a review of the Nikon 16-35mm f/4 G lens. In 2007, Nikon released a beast called 14-24mm f/2.8 into the wild.

INTRODUCTION CAN AN OLD LENS STILL SHINE? Welcome to a review of the Nikon 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 AI-S lens. For those of you who are not sure, there are 2 versions of this lens – The older AI-S version (manual focus) released in the 1980s, and the later AF-D version (autofocus) in the 1990s. This review

INTRODUCTION MIRACLE GOLD AND BLUE!? Welcome to a review of the Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue Polarizer filter – This is an interesting filter that I have used for years, and it is not your “regular Joe” polarizer.

INTRODUCTION THE BLACK GLASS Welcome to a review on the Haida 10 stops ND filter. ND filters have always been a staple to landscape photographers.
