Nikon 70-180mm and 180-600mm Z lenses

This week, Nikon announced two new telephoto zoom lenses for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The Nikon 70-180mm f/2.8 Z Nikkor is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom that completes a trio of f/2.8 zooms. The 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 zoom Nikkor is a supertelephoto zoom that is sure to be popular with wildlife and bird photographers. Check prices on these lenses here.

What is Highlight-Priority Metering?

We received a listener question from our website asking about highlight-priority metering, which can be useful in certain situations. Not all cameras offer this metering mode, but we’ll describe how it works and when we use it.

Hands-on with the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 S

This week, we just got evaluation copies of the two newest Z-mount Nikon lenses. Since we haven’t had a lot of time to put the lenses through their paces yet, we’ll give our first impressions. This week, we’re primarily discussing the 24-120mm f/4S lens, including build and handling, features, and how it compares to other similar Nikon lenses.

Special thanks to our site sponsor B&H Photo for getting us test copies of these new lenses! Shopping from this link will help support this podcast.

I recently converted a Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera to capture infrared images. Along with my Image Doctors co-host Rick Walker, I tested most of the new Nikon Z-mount lenses to see how well they performed for infrared photography, including sharpness and the appearance of hot-spots. We also tested a slate of F-mount lenses using the Nikon FTZ adapter to see how well they performed on the Nikon Z6 in infrared.
