Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Digital Camera Announced:

The new Nikon Z fc has been announced, and while I’m sure there are people who just aren’t interested, I have to say, I love how it looks, and it’s so compact too!  Check out the photos below, and specifically the one that shows the top plate of the camera (I’m a big fan of how the top plate looks like).  It looks like my grandfather’s old FM2 or something.  You can even get it with the also announced Nikon 28mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Z Lens, which looks like a lens from the film days of Nikon.  The links are below for pre-order or just to look at these items:

These are decent deals, and only for a limited time.  I’m not invested in the GFX system but at that price, even I am tempted :).  As for the X-T3, I still own mine, and it is still my current Fujifilm camera.  I love it.  I also reviewed it when it first came out.  You can read the review here.

Website Back Online After Migration to New Host:

Hey everyone!  I mentioned on social media that over the last couple of months, I’ve been updating my site internally, and I was actually offline for a while because I was migrating my website to a new host.  There were some complications, which is why it took so long but as you can see, it’s back.  I definitely want to thank my dear friend Fredrik, and my brother in law for their help.  You should check out Fredrik’s Instagram; he’s a digital and film shooter, and has some amazing stuff up there.

So, expect some new posts to come very soon.  In fact, I should have one coming in about an hour.  I have some stuff from December that I need to get out, so expect those (like I said, complications during the migration) as well.  Thanks for your patience, and for stopping by!
