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.

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

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.

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.

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.



Apple MacBook Pro 14" with Liquid Retina XDR Display, M1 Max Chip with 10-Core CPU and 24-Core GPU, 32GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Space Gray, Late 2021

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!
