The Z7 is now my most favorite piece of gear and my new workhorse. It combines the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount and matched lenses. It features a Nikon designed 45.7MP image sensor and has seamless integration with Nikon’s DSLR system—including the NIKKOR lenses you love—the Z 7 is a camera unlike any before it. And yet, it’s unmistakably a Nikon.
The D5 is incredible technology and my workhorse camera. It allows me to shoot in very dark situations without any extra lighting so I can create authentic moments.
The D850 is one of the best cameras Nikon has made and has some of the best value for the money. It received the first ever full 100 overall score ever given out to a DSLR by the testing lab DxOMark, ranking it as the top DSLR ever. I love it for shooting video and when I need huge files for a stills campaign
This lens is my go to lens. The best technology is the stuff that is almost invisible. It’s fast, light and sharp. Good technology should never come in between you and your story. It helps you and enhances your story and ideally it should disappear.
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S Zoom Nikkor Lens is perfect for tight situations when I need to have a wide lens. I also sometimes use this with my underwater rig. Fast aperture, high-performance, ultra-wide-angle zoom optimized for FX- and DX-format sensors featuring Nikon’s exclusive ED Glass and Nano Crystal Coat.
The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S Nikkor Lens is my go to lens for most situations. Fast-aperture, high performance wide-angle zoom optimized for FX and DX-format sensors and features Nikon’s ED Glass and Nano Crystal Coat.
The Nikon 24mm f/1.4G AF-S ED Nikkor Lens is a beautiful lens for landscapes and intimate moments when I want to be close to the action. Compelling wide-angle perspective combined with an ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture makes this a solid choice.
The Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED Tilt-Shift Lens is a fantastic lens that I used in the D300s video for Nikon. It is an ultra-wide lens with special “Perspective Control” tilt and shift functions, making it ideal for architectural and nature photography. Using tilt and shift correction will help obtain a natural-looking perspective by eliminating distortion such as keystoning that can appear in architectural images.
The Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor Lens is ideal for travel, event, environmental and general photography in a wide variety of conditions, with superb optical formula and an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture.
The Nikon 85mm f/1.4G IF AF-S Nikkor Lens FX-format is an ultra-fast classic portrait lens with high picture quality, high performance, beautiful Bokeh (background blur) and outstanding reliability.
The Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 85 mm f/3.5D ED Tilt-Shift Lens featuring tilt, shift, and rotation as well as a 1:2 magnification ratio, can greatly expand your imaging capabilities. It is designed for FX-format F mount DSLRs and features the Close-Range Correction system for maintaining image quality at close working distances.
The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR II Nikkor ED-IF Lens has a fast aperture, f/2.8 zoom features VR II image stabilization, ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat. Excels at low-light sports, fashion, portraits and more.
The Nikon 80-400mm is another of my favorite go to lenses. It is a versatile telephoto zoom lens that is compatible with both FX and DX-sized image sensors. This lens features an extensive zoom range of 80-400mm, with the DX-format equivalent of 120-600mm, encompassing both portrait and long-reaching telephoto focal lengths to suit working with a variety of subjects. Capture portraits with softly blurred backgrounds and get close-up telephoto shots of faraway subjects with or without a tripod.
