NIKON USA AMBASSADORAfter a solid few months of shooting with a Nikon
mirrorless camera, I can safety say that the Nikon Z 7
will be a permanent addition to my kit bag. I bit the
bullet and bought one, and have been banging on it
pretty hard, and now I’m completely convinced of its
worth. I also ordered a Z 6, because – why not? Some
measure of mirrorless system will now be in the bag
at all times. The handy FTZ adapter gave no signs of
image degradation or loss of edge sharpness. Having
it all together just gives me another wrinkle, another
angle of attack on a job, another potential layer of
hopefully appropriate approach. And the truly
beautiful thing is that you’ve got 90% of the
viewfinder covered with AF points.P H O T O G R A P H E R O F T H E Y E A R 2 0 1 9
