Nikon ZFC Nikkor Z DX 50 250mm & Viltrox 13mm - Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Here I am again, typing on my new Macbook Pro M1 pro. Okay, I'm typing on my external gaming keyboard and using a gaming mouse setup. But, I am using my MacBook. Yesterday, I wirelessly and it seems to get easier and faster once I'm able to quickly link my Nikon Zfc to the Mac.

My camera is linked to the Mac via wifi, and it automatically transferred all my pictures and videos. The first time I did it, was exasperating. As I didn't really know how to do it. This time round everything runs smoothly. I was able to quickly start video editing with iMovie.

Yesterday, was Xmas and a holiday. Wishing all a happy and merry Xmas. I went out with my friend to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (Google Maps). An excellent place to test out my new Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm and also the Viltrox 13mm which I just got and didn't really have a chance to try out.

I must say it's kind of a hassle to keep having to change between the two lenses. Wearing cargo pants with many big side pockets or having a lens pouch is recommended. Any time I want a wide shot, I'll use the Viltrox 13mm. But, if I want a closer shot and needed to zoom, I'll change to the 50-250mm.

I'm thinking maybe, for this kind of nature photography, I should have used my Nikon Coolpix P950. With its 83x optical zoom and up to 2000mm digital zoom. I could have easily gotten a closer shot of the birds. It's not to say the Nikkor Z Dx 50-250mm and Viltrox 13mm aren't good enough though.

I still can get a good zoom shot and later crop a close-up. If I had the money, I might get a longer-range lens. It's still a lot of fun to take pictures with both lenses. Loving the ability to get a wide shot with the 13mm. Especially, when you can look out to a beautiful wide open area.



VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

Really depends on your budget and what you're going for. In any case, for my beginner level, this setup is more than enough for me. Though, I really like to try out the new Sony a7rv. Guess, I'll have to start saving. Lol. One thing is for sure, I feel like I'm in the minority using a camera than a mobile phone. 

I do see, mostly guys, with their cameras and long-range lens. But, the rest of the people are just tourists taking pictures with their mobile. A little funny when they saw me with a heavy backpack. The silver Nikon Z fc does attract glances. I do feel you can do more with a full camera and lens setup.

I have always thought of buying a camera and photography but it's only now that I finally decided to get one. The Nikon Coolpix P1000's ability to zoom to the moon intrigued me. Though I managed to get a good deal with the P950 instead. And my journey in photography started.

Now, after using the camera for a while, I'm starting to learn and enjoy it. Check out some of the pics I took with the Nikkor z dx 50-250mm and Viltrox 13mm wide angle lens. I use Nikon NX Studio for simple jpeg format edit. For more pics and videos check out my video on youtube.

What do you guys think?

Not bad for an amateur photographer eh? :p

my MacBook Pro M1 Pro accessories installation and setup

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love my new Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I also like buying accessories for it. I've already got a 60% portable gaming keyboard and mouse. I bought from something other than expensive brands though. I prefer to get cheap China-made but still good to go. Also sometimes, I like their design more.

I just finished installing a screen and touchpad protector. Installing the screen protector on the mac was hard and slow. I have to make sure that it aligns with the camera. I hate the stubborn bubbles but I managed to clear them. Looking at the screen right now, I think it's worth the effort. Lol.

Yeah, I know. Are all this protection necessary? Who cares, I like buying stuff and accessories just for the heck of it. Does make me feel satisfied and in the long run, lessen the wear and tear effects. This is not my first laptop and if you're used to using one, you know what I'm talking about. 

Although, I have owned and used many laptops from different brand, using a Mac has a total different feeling to it. Especially, if you're not used to a Mac O.S. Yes, I have an iPad and using several version of iPhone but it's not really the same.

For one thing, I keep going to the right end corner of an open window to close it when Apple prefers it on your left. And, when you want to access the menu, it's not on the window tab itself but at the top of the screen. Doesn't matter where you put that open window.

I like the dock though. While scrolling the aps icon will grow bigger. So, kinda cool playing with it. Almost all the apps that I frequently use are on the dock. Same, as on my PC or laptop. On the Mac, I have to remind myself that there's a 'Launchpad' where all the apps installed are.



Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac

I also have to remind myself that the 'Finder' is actually the file manager. I find the iCloud to be annoying. I want to find files that are on my laptop not in the cloud which are already filled. So, I can't use it anymore. I'll have to delete or pay to keep using the iCloud.

I don't really like using online storage although you can easily access your data on any devices that has access to them. The reason being, if you for any reason stop paying, you're fcked. I'll rather have all my stuff offline on my Mac, Pc or storage cards. 



Razer Huntsman Mini 60% Gaming Keyboard: Fast Keyboard Switches - Clicky Optical Switches - Chroma RGB Lighting - PBT Keycaps - Onboard Memory - Classic Black

I'm definitely getting used to using a MacBook. This is the second time I'm blogging on my Mac. Normally, I'll use my computer with three monitors all setup with different windows tab opened. Okay, this time round, I'm using an external 60% RGB gaming keyboard and mouse. 

One thing I noticed is that the battery last much longer than my HP AMD Ryzen 7 laptop. With my external keyboard and mouse connected, it'll suck up the battery pretty fast but I'm still at 70%. And, with my M1 pro chips it can play Dirt 4 smooth. It does get hots though. That's kinda normal.

Oh, I need to mention that my HP laptop only has 8GB ram. That's probably one of the reason why it stutters when playing some games and when doing my video editing. I used to say that 8GB ram is the minimum but nowadays, it's 16GB ram!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Bought my first-ever Apple Macbook pro. I got the 14-inch Macbook pro with the M1 pro chip instead of the latest M2 chip. To tell the truth, if I had more money, I would have got the 16-inch version which is much better for my eyes.

Well, we can't have everything. The good thing is it's very portable. Still a tad heavy than my HP 15-inch laptop. I'm still learning to use a MacBook being a Windows user since the mid-90s. The main reason is actually the price and work.

It's not that I have never touched a Macbook. I remembered my ex-GF bought a MacBook that you can also boot to a windows system. That's probably the first time I've used a MacBook. Oh, I also bought a Macbook gold (unboxing video 2015) a couple years back which I sold later on.  

This is definitely the first time I bought and owned a MacBook Pro. That's why I'm so excited. Somebody commented on my youtube video that it's a non-event. Such a sour grape. It's not important anyway. What's important is that, so far, I'm really happy with it.

The user experience is definitely different. For starters, I'm used to hammering on my Razer gaming keyboard to type. This keyboard is rather shallow and springy. I guess it's meant for touch-typing. I have a problem with numbness in my hands while using it. 

Love the fingerprint sensor for quick access back into the system when you're away from the keyboard. Another cool thing is whenever you lift up the screen, it will automatically boot up. Wish I could use my fingerprint to log in but you still need to enter your password.

I wanted a MacBook Pro with the M1 pro or Max chip because I need a good laptop that can handle 4K videos. My HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 and 8GB ram seems to stutter a bit when I tried to edit my videos. Might have solved it if I upgraded to 16GB or more RAMS.

This 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with the M1 pro chip and 16GB ram. The Max seems to be better because I'm assuming more CPU and GPU cores. If you have the dough and working on 4K or higher resolution videos, go for as high specs as you can afford to future-proof it.

I'm almost at the end of this blog post and I'm getting better at using the keyboard and loving the clickable touchpad. I keep forgetting you need to press to click and not just 'touch'. It's really big and wide. I remember using it when I had the Macbook Gold and kinda miss it. 

A few new things I've never used before like the MagSafe magnetic charging is pretty cool. I'm already used to the USB C ports. Linking my iPhone 13 to the Mac and using whatsapp to chat or the Facetime camera. Really sharp. The customizable cool docking system and all the apps. 

The speakers is loud but I prefer using my Bluetooth earbuds better. Especially, as I'm partially deaf. I also like to play around with the terminal and coding simple python in it. I have an iPhone and iPad and if you've been using them, you'll be familiar with all the apps available.

In all, I'm really happy with my MacBook purchased and can't get enough of it!

i bought nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my nikon z fc

NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally bought a Nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my new retro design Nikon Z fc camera. It fits and works really well. I have yet to really try out the lens as I'm just waiting for the holidays to go out and have fun taking pictures and videos with it.

Anyway, it's been raining heavily for the past few weeks. I got to try out the camera with the 28mm SE lens kit and I'm satisfied with the camera and the lens. It's pretty sharp and my first time using this kind of camera with a prime lens.



NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I am a newbie photographer and love going cycling to nature parks and beaches to take photos with my camera. Yes, you can use your mobile phone to take photos which I do too. But, using a camera is a whole other level of fun!

It's a pretty expensive hobby though. But, I discovered third-party companies that sell good affordable lenses. Expensive lenses cost thousands of dollars which I can't afford. Unless you're a pro who earns money working full-time as a professional photographer.



NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) Lens

There is news of a Nikkor Z 40mm special edition for the Zfc. I might get that when it comes out maybe next year. Meanwhile, guess which lens I just ordered the other day and now waiting to arrive? It's the VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens! 

Yup! Can't wait for it to arrive probably next week and try it. Already plan to use it to take pictures and videos of the Xmas tree and decorations near my area. Most reviews and sample I see shows how wide it is. The video looks great and sharp too.

Now, I pretty much have all the lenses that I like and wanted. One day, I hope to get my hands on the Sony a7rV camera. With its latest AI processing unit, 61MP, advanced AF, and even the LCD screen that can be set any which way you want. 

The Sony a7rV is the ultimate pro-level camera that I can't afford and also even though I"m not a professional photographer, I still want it. Lol. Well, I love tech and the camera capabilities really intrigue me. Also, it's good to learn something new. That's why I'm so into photography right now.

Frankly, I thought the Nikon Z Fc would be my last big purchase of the year 2022. Turn out, it's the Apple Macbook pro with an M1 pro chip. At first, I thought of getting the latest Macbook pro with an M2 chip. But, after doing some research, it's better I get the 14-inch with M1 Pro chip.

The main reason behind my choice was, I rather spend an extra couple hundred more to get the M1 pro chip. I need it to edit my photos and videos which I always shoot with 4K and sometimes RAW. I tried doing some video editing on my HP Ryzen 7 AMD with 8GB Ram laptop and it's not good enough!

I probably, need to upgrade my ram but everyone knows for video editing and photography, a MacBook pro is much better. And, the M1 pro seems to be much better than even the latest M2 chip which I'm not saying is not good. Well, hopefully, and praying to get it by next week. Till then, to-da-loo!

my nikon z fc 28mm se video sample - woodlands jetty #shorts

Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body (Black) 1673 with 28mm F2.8 SE NIKKOR Z Special Edition Lens Bundle with Deco Gear Microphone + LED + Filter Kit + Backpack + Photography Accessories

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm really having fun with my new Nikon Z FC retro design-style camera. Yup, I can see people looking at the camera when I'm out and about taking pictures with it. I bought it with the 28mm se lens and it's pretty sharp. Comparing, it to my Nikon P950, I think there's a difference in style. 

Well, maybe because the lenses are different. Whereas the P950 has an 83x optical zoom and 2000mm digital zoom. I love using the zooming lens. I practically use it for taking pictures of everything. Meanwhile, you're stuck with just 28mm and you're the one having to move to take the pictures.



Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body (Black) 1673 with 28mm F2.8 SE NIKKOR Z Special Edition Lens Bundle with Deco Gear Microphone + LED + Filter Kit + Backpack + Photography Accessories

My first camera was the Nikon P950. I bought it because it could zoom to the moon. I also bought it at half the price as it was used as a demo. But, everything still looks like new. I still have it, and I'm still loving it. Now, I have a second camera the Nikon z fc and it's pretty much a different beast.

I finally get to go out and tried it out on a public holiday. The feeling is very much a different camera. Especially, with just the 28mm lens. I kept missing the zoom capability of the P950. But, it's a prime lens so I used it as it is and that's why I said the experience is much different.



NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) Lens

The Nikkor Z 28mm SE aka special edition autofocus lens is very sharp. The bokeh is nice and definitely good even if you can't zoom. There's a video where the guy said if there's only one lens he could have it's the 28mm. I'm still learning but one of the reasons I decided to get it with the camera.

The Nikkor Z 40mm SE for the z fc is said to be coming out the early next year 2023. I might be getting it. I'll have time to save up for it. I was thinking of getting the Viltrox 13mm lens with super wide-angle autofocus. I saw a video sample and it was a really sharp and wider shot.



VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

As a newbie in photography, I'm really excited and want to try practically every lens there is available for the Nikon z fc. I can't really get my hands on those expensive lenses though. As long as it's within my budget, I'll definitely get it. Especially, if it helps my photos and videos look better.

I've already got my hands on the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens. Still waiting for a good time to go out and test it. I basically bought it because I wanted the zoom capabilities. Just like my Nikon P950. Although, using zoom on the p950 is much faster, for me. 



NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I haven't yet test fully the Nikkor Z Dx 50-250mm. So, I can't really comment on how good it is. I'm still waiting for a good view of the moon to see how good it is for taking moon pictures and videos. It's the rainy season and even my room now is getting dark as I type this.

I did a quick zoom test and it was pretty sharp. Can't find anything interesting far-off to zoom out from my house windows. Well, I'm not in a hurry anyway. It just started raining. I hope, it'll be sunny during the X'mas and New Year holidays. Planning to go to nature parks and use the 50-250mm lens.

Check out some of the pics I took with the Nikkor Z 28mm lens below:

Note* Last pic was edited and added on 22nd Jan 2023 to this post. 

The weather is kinda a little cloudy and moody. Would have taken better pictures if the sky was brighter and bluer. Other than that, I can't stay for the sunset pics as I cycle all the way there and wanted to reach home before it gets dark. Anyway, might not be a good sunset with all the clouds blocking. 

What do you guys think of the sample pics and videos? Check the full video here.
