There is perhaps no truer sign of summer than Independence Day in the United States. The Fourth of July is when the summer season kicks into full gear, with barbeques, pool parties, family gatherings, and road trips galore—not to mention the fireworks!
One lead-up to this holiday that I will never forget found me hurtling down the New Jersey Turnpike at sunset in a Greyhound bus. As the twilight deepened, bright bursts of fireworks began shooting up past the tree line, close by and at a distance, reflecting in the darkened glass of the

2023 was a blockbuster year for Nikon, so it's not surprising that their 2024 was more mellow. And by mellower, I mean they only released two cameras, three lenses, announced the development of a cine-focused zoom, and acquired a major cinema camera manufacturer.

Third-party lenses—those made by a brand other than the camera manufacturer—present a wide variety of creative opportunities and fiscal benefits.
