Nikon D90 review part one - Did Nikon hit the sweet spot?
When Nikon announced the FF camera D700 it seemed like the natural upgrade path from Nikon D300. I was considering the pros and cons for the move. I missed (and still do) the feeling of depth I got with my 35 and 85 mm primes and my Nikon SLRs. The high ISOs advantage is of [...]
Nikon D90 for action?
How does the Nikon D90 handles action shooting? How does it feel if you are used to a fast camera like a Nikon D300? And how is the low light performance in a real world situation outside lab tests, like indoor sports? That was some of the things I wanted a answer on when I [...]

The reason I bought the Nikkor 70-200VR 2.8 was the TC17 teleconverter. I was booked on a safari to Kenya (see the page “Going on safari?” here) and I wanted something better than the 70-300 ED I had at the time. If the new 70-300 VR had been available it had been an option.Judging by the [...]

Nikkor 17-55 2.8

First the physical impression: This is a beautifully made lens. It has a finish [...]
