  • 26.04.2016 - Nikon D5 - Autofocus maniac!
    Text and photos: Sven Za č ek Autofocus! Wow! That says it all. The review of Nikon D5 could end now and this could easily be the shortest piece of writing I have ever written. Because, for those people who even doubt about whether to purchase this camera, the word autofocus should say it all. It is worth buying just for that. But ok, you talked me into it, I am happy to write a bit longer review because in addition to its amazing autofocus, Nikon D5  also features a lot...

  • 18.04.2016 - I tested Nikon D5 at Tallinn Music Week
    Text and photos:  Tõnu Tunnel I have started to think about getting a second camera next to my very loyal Nikon D800.  Newly announced D5 and D500 seem very exciting. Since D800 shows off with its resolution and dynamic range, it seemed that I could also go for D500  – fast continuous shooting mode, clean high ISOs, 1.5x crop is sometimes a benefit, quite a good price. When I asked from I AM Photographer ProShop about its availability and the...

But the heraldic animal of the national park is a musk ox that was situated there from Eastern Greenland after the II WW. Today,...
  • 02.04.2016 - Nikon 500mm F4 FL VR - lightweight companion
    Text and photos: Sven Za č ek Unbelievable headline, isn't it? I would not believe it myself if only it was year 2005 or even 2010. But it is the truth – in 2016, we can call one of the super telephoto lenses a lightweight companion and its name is Nikon 500mm F4E FL ED VR . Fortunately the length of its name does not affect its weight :) You used to only work with super telephoto lenses when you happened to work with a tripod or at least, a monopod. When you left you...

    Text and photos: Vladimir Oja As a photographer, I am focused on capturing landscapes and the longest lens in my camera bag is 70mm. But sometimes situations occur that require telescopic lens. I AM PHOTOGRAPHER Pro Shop gave me an opportunity to try out a telescopic lens. I had to make a choice between 70-200mm f/2,8G ED VR II NIKKOR and AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR . As I wanted to keep the weight of the camera bag as low as possible I chose AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR...
