I Shoot Nikon

No hype, just the equipment I depend on.

My Equipment

The gear listed here is the equipment I use in the field. Every camera body, lens, and accessory has earned a place in my kit through real-world use, not marketing hype.

I only recommend gear that I trust.

Cameras and Lenses

Nikon Z8

Main Camera

I wanted a high megapixel body with great autofocus for wildlife photography
Nikon Z6ii

Backup/Astro

My Z6ii was my first full frame camera. Once I saw the image quality that this camera could produce, I started phasing out my APSC Fuji system for full frame.
Nikon Z30

Vlogging Camera

The Z30 has an articulating sceen allowing for easy vlogging, and the Z mount allows me to use my full frame lenses as well as the crop sensor lenses available for this camera.
Nikon Z24-120 Zoom Lens

Brilliant multipurpose lens from Nikon

This Z24-120 with F4 aperture at every focal length is a wonderful lens that usually just lives on my Z8.
Nikon Z14-30 F4 Wide Angle Lens

The 14-30 is my wide angle zoom, great because of its compact size, and impressive image quality. I’m able to use reasonably sized screw-on filters with this lens.
Nikon Z 100-400 Zoom

The 100-400 is an amazing lens for landscapes, and doubles as my wildlife, and action photography lens.
Viltrox 16mm F1.8 Prime Lens

I wanted a fast, wide lens for astrophotography and this lens delivers.
