B&H is back from break and, if you like lenses, we have great news for you. Nikon has the biggest launch of the bunch with the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens.

It’s going to be hard to follow up a week of Bild Expo and then IBC, but we can try with a few key announcements. Nikon took a very, very good shot at it with the release of the Zf, a retro-styled full-frame camera that takes the classic looks of the FM2 and combines them with modern imaging tech from the current Z Series mirrorless lineup. Nikon also released a teaser for the mysterious “Plena,” although we will have to wait until next week

What a week! The first Bild Expo just wrapped up here in New York City and it was a blast.

Since there isn't much happening right now, we decided to take a few weeks off. DJI, however, didn't get the memo. With the release of the Air 3 Drone and Osmo Action 4, DJI is the biggest name to launch new products these past few weeks. If you want to make the most of your summer adventures, definitely pick up both items.
