My transition to the Nikon mirrorless Z system is now complete
With the acquisition of the Nikon Zcf camera with the kit lens, my transition from Nikon DSLRs and f mount glass to Nikon mirrorless Z cameras and Z Nikkor lenses. That’s not to say that I wont purchase additional equipment down the road but for now, I have a well rounded collection that should allow me to shoot just about anything.
Overall, I have been pleased with the performance of all the Z equipment, both lenses and bodies. The one exception would be the shortened battery life, mostly related to the Z8. That’s about the only thing that I miss about DSLRs.
Photographing US Youth Soccer’s National Championship Series Regional and Presidents Cup Regional Tournaments with the Nikon Z6, Z8, and Z9 Cameras
As in year’s past, Robert G Allen photography was lead photographer for the 2023 US Youth Soccer events in June in Boise Idaho. Shooting along with a US Youth Soccer staff photographer, we covered numerous games, bouncing from one soccer field to the next as we strived to provide as much coverage as possible among the 20 soccer fields riding on a golf cart between games over a four day period.
