For more than 20 years, I have trusted my Nikon equipment. Since the beginning of 2021, I have completely switched to mirrorless models.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, I work with the Nikon Z8.<\/span><\/p>\n

I use the Nikon Z8 for both landscape photography as well as wildlife and sports photography. The 45.7 megapixels give me enough room to crop or create large-format prints. The built-in stabilizer in the camera allows me to achieve hand-held shutter speeds that I never thought possible before. The Z8, with its super-fast autofocus and 20 frames per second raw image rate, covers all the needs for dynamic shots.<\/p>\n

I am enthusiastic about the new Z lenses. Primarily, I use the 14-24, 24-70, and 70-200, all with a constant aperture of f\/2.8. The image quality of the lenses is outstanding, and the edge sharpness, even at wide open apertures, is fantastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

For wildlife photography, I mainly use the Z 400mm f2.8. The lens has excellent imaging performance and, with the integrated 1.4x teleconverter, I can increase the range to 560mm if necessary. In addition, the 180-600mm f\/5.6-6.3 VR is used.. The lens is incredibly lightweight, at just over 2 kg, for its long focal range, and the image performance is top-notch. With the built-in VR, I can also capture sharp images hand-held.<\/span><\/p>\n

What else fits in my camera bag: headlamp, cleaning tools, wireless triggers, Haida neutral density and polarizer filters, pocket knife, NEXTODI NPS10 for on-the-go data backup, and of course, a multitude of memory cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to good cameras and lenses, for me, the use of a sturdy tripod is often indispensable. I use a Gitzo tripod with a Really Right Stuff ball head.<\/span><\/p>\n

For image development, I primarily use Lightroom and Photoshop. For editing panoramas, in addition to Lightroom\/Photoshop, I also use PTGui software. For focus stacking, I mainly use Helicon Focus software.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
