Nikon has just released new firmware for their latest remote controllers, the WR-R11A and WR-R11B. Both of these are used to control Nikon’s SB5000 speedlights (flash units) via the AWL (Advance Wireless Lighting) radio system. Each one differs depending on what type of connection you have on your camera body.

Nikon indicates the following changes have been made when going from version 1.01 to 1.02:

  • Taking photographs in quick succession with a WR-R11b and SB-5000 when connected via radio-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting would sometimes produce abnormal images.

I have both controller types and used my Z9 to update the R11a and my Z6 to update the R11b and it appeared to go well for each one.

Today, I received the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens. Considering that it’s not a S line lens, the build quality is pretty good. It’s light and the lens hood is not too big or too small. I would say overall, the design has a pleasing esthetic compact look.
