Do you need diffusers? - Trick Bits has diffusers! Big is better, and Trick Bits offers a scale-up to the out-of-box experience, and bigger does not mean heavier!! Trick Bits has custom-fitted diffusers for the most popular macro lighting systems. - I bought mine, and I am in Macro Diffuser Heaven! I use a Nikon R1C1 system for many years but was unhappy with the harsh specular lighting it produced on my tiny insects. Over the years, I tried modifying the supplied diffusers and added a small handheld diffuser to further diffuse the light - what a pain.

Laowa has been making excellent lenses now for several years, and in their macro lineup, you have several lenses to choose from. Many macro enthusiasts have raved about the 100mm even with its odd front glass element missing. Now Laowa has introduced the 90mm Macro made specifically for mirrorless cameras. 

Laowa offers a very compact full-frame 85mm 2 X macro to satisfy the enthusiast and pro macro photographers. With a small lightweight footprint and low cost, the Laowa 85mm Macro will appeal to many photographers.

Following several years of using my f/2.8 zooms that covered the 50-60mm range, I finally decided I had enough of the compromise. After doing some testing with 3rd party lenses and doing online research I went ahead and purchased my Nikon 58mm f/1.4 G lens direct from NikonUSA.

The Nikon  Z 24-120mm f/4 S is a versatile multiple purpose zoom lens offering premium S-Line optics, a constant f/4 aperture, close focusing, and robust weather-sealing - but how well does it perform?

I was anticipating the release of the Nikon Z9 from the very day it was announced. I even set my alarm clock to wake up for the launch event - and within 30 minutes had placed my pre-order.

In August 2018 Nikon announced the release of a compact super telephoto - the 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR  Making this their second Phase Fresnel lens the first being the awesome 300mm PF PF/4. I am excited to see Nikon introduce this new prime lens at a sub 4k.  Let's run through the technical details as it relates to weight, compactness, and sharpness.  All of which are expected to be superior.

A very nice compact lens for the Nikon Z cameras at a budget price. Delivers very good results for the price.

The Nikon Z9  is now available for Pre-Order - and from what I have seen is a huge step forward.

Nikon has announced another compact prime lens for the Z cameras!

As a primary wildlife and Bird photographer, I am constantly looking for ways to close distance to the wildlife I am after to photograph. The Nikon teleconverter can make a big difference between success and failure.

Nikon is offering the Nikon Z fc for those photographers who enjoy a more classic-looking camera with modern mirrorless features.

The update to the Nikon 60mm F mount Macro Lens - Does the 50mm Macro Z lens exceed the performance of the Legacy 60mm F mount Macro?

My main go-to for Macro Photography has been the Nikon awesome RIC1 Macro Flash system.  I decided to step outside the Nikon umbrella and get myself a Ring Flash to go along with my New S 105mm Macro Lens.

Nikon's best-selling 105mm Macro lens has been updated with new technology and a wider flange mound to fit directly to the Z mirrorless camera line.  Is it worth nearly $1000.00? let's find out.

The MB-N11 was designed specifically for the Nikon Z 7II and Z 6II mirrorless cameras for the portrait photographer.

Nikon is moving down the S lens roadmap very nicely with the newest NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens that will take full advantage of the Z mount cameras.
