(LINKS BELOW): I’ve spent the last month shooting with the new @nikonusa 180-600mm Z lens. In this video I’ll show you sample images from Oregon, Yellowstone and Moab of sports, wildlife and landscapes. It’s a very surprising lens for its price that has certainly exceeded my expectations. Who is it for? Who is it not for? This video will explore those questions.
