Photography Gear
Main Lenses (Landscape & Wildlife Photography)
All-around Favorite
If I could only bring one lens with my Nikon Z7II, it would be this beauty. Versatile and incredibly sharp.
Wide-Angle
This lens isn’t as wide or as fast as the 12-24mm f2.8, but it’s lighter, half the price, and plenty sharp.
Telephoto Zoom
I use this telephoto zoom for photographing wildlife and for picking out detail shots in landscapes.
Macro Lens
Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM
My next lens purchase will be the Nikon Z 105mm macro lens. Until then, I’m able to use this lens with the FTZ adapter.
Other Lenses (Video, Travel, Portraiture, and Just Walking Around )
Pairs Great with the Zfc
Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR
The Zfc and this lens may be the ultimate travel combo. Features a wide focal range (24-210mm full-frame equivalent) plus vibration reduction. I use this a lot for video too.
Low-Profile Lens
I like to throw this lens on my Zfc for a grab-and-go minimalist setup that hangs well around my neck and fits inside my coat pocket. On the Zfc’s 1.5x crop this is the full-frame equivalent to 42mm.
35mm Lens
I use this lens on both cameras. Whether at 35mm (full-frame) or 52mm (crop-sensor), I get a classic focal range. The fast f1.8 aperture makes it a great option for street and travel photography in low light.
Portrait Lens
A recent addition to my kit, I bought this for portraiture, newborn photos, senior portraits, events, and more. The wide aperture gives a lovely separation between the subject and the background.
