I realised today that the last time I wrote this post was in 2017 and I was still using my first camera, the trusty Nikon D3400. Whilst that little guy has gone on to a new home, I figured it was time to update this section, as so much has changed since then.
First off is my camera body. I finally went full frame in November of 2019 and currently carry my Z6 with me at all times.
Nikon Z6 – Mirrorless FX with 24.5 MP sensor
More often than not these days, my go to lens is the Z 24-70mm f2.8. It’s the perfect range for most of my photos within the travel photography realm and I absolutely love the sharpness and colour quality of the pictures.

For ultra-wide angle landscape shots, my go to is the new Z 14-30mm f4 and I seriously cannot stress enough how much I love this lens. Aside from it being ultra-wide and catching all the things I used to miss with my D500 and 16-80mm, again, the picture quality of the Z lenses is so nice and this guy is super compact!

For long distance compression, I love the 70-300mm f4.5-5.6. I don’t do all that much telephoto stuff, so I didn’t feel like it was necessary to spend the extra money on the f2.8 and I’ve so far not been disappointed by this option with my FtZ adapter!

So there you have it, the three lens kit I have with me at any one time. I am loving shooting full frame and although changing lenses on the Z6 is the most stressful thing in life with how close the sensor is to the opening, I love the compact lifestyle the mirrorless body and Z mount lenses bring.
If you have any questions about any of the gear I carry, shoot a comment down below and I’ll be happy to answer!
Happy shooting, H x
