Got a 24-120mm f/4 zoom with my D850. It did initially help me to survive the weight & size shock of going full frame after enjoying 3 years of mirrorless lightness. But then I’d got bitten by the Bokeh bug & fell for the 58mm f/1.4 and I was out & about looking for a bokehlicious wide angle. Please read on if y’all wanna join me on this new adventure & fancy some advice as to which direction to go!

My name is Hendrik and I am a Bokeholic. Yes, I've become addicted to "Bokeh". That's Japanese for "blur". So Bokeh is the quality of out-of-focus areas of an image, the more smooth the better.

J'avais déjà écrit un billet concernant les femmes photographes. Un délinquant revenant toujours sur les lieux de son méfait, je me retrouve de nouveau attelé à triturer ce sujet. L'article précédent s'arrête en 1945 et en 70 ans, nombre de talents ont eu le temps d'émerger, et d'être ensuite...
Switching camps has never been easier: with the increasing number of companies going mirrorless, photographers can now have their cake and eat it – at least in theory. With the whole premise …
I've bought and traded in so many 50mm lenses that I thought I gotta go see a shrink. Nuts some may say and nuts I may well be, but up to now it just didn't ever "click" (pun intended). Until Nikon´s 58mm f/1.4 found me! Please read on if you want to know the 5 reasons why this "normal" lens ain't so normal at all and has achieved for me what no other lens has been able to do!
