FOOD PHOTOGRAPHERThe Nikon Z 6 is a dream camera for food
photography shoots, on location and in restaurants.
It’s small enough to carry around comfortably all day
and its 24.5Mp full-frame sensor is big enough to
provide enough image quality; it’s the perfect
combination. As a person with small hands, I find the
size of the Z 6 camera body to be comfortable and
lightweight. I mainly shoot handheld and my larger
DSLR bodies can become heavy after a full day of
shooting. Another big plus for existing Nikon
photographers is the FTZ Mount Adapter. It still
enables me to use my full-frame 50mm f/1.8, 85mm
f/1.8 and 105mm f/2.8 lenses easily, making them
interchangeable between all my camera bodies.
