First shots from new Nikon 28mm F1.4E ED
Nikon's new 28mm F1.4E ED is the latest in a series of wideangle F1.4 primes, and if it's as good as its sister models, we're expecting it to deliver great results. Among the first people to get hold of the then-unreleased lens was wedding photographer and Nikon Ambassador Marko Marinkovic.
Shooting in Marrakech, Marko captured portraits and landscapes, working almost exclusively wide-open at F1.4, with the lens attached to a D5. He has written a blog post detailing his initial findings (images are reproduced here by kind permission).
According to Marinkovic, he favors 28mm because it offers a wide field of view without being unnatural - allowing him 'to fit things into a frame without overflowing it or distorting the corner elements'.
Although the new lens is 'significantly larger and heavier' than the slower 28mm F1.8, Marinkovic found that the build quality of the F1.4 version 'is a great compromise between robustness and weight'.
Marko's verdict on the new lens? 'If you are a professional looking for an upgrade of your old 28 2.8 or 28mm 1.8G – this is the lens to go with'.

Thinking back to May we struggled to recall anything much happening, but once we actually went back through the archives and looked, it turns out that May was a pretty busy month! Here's a quick reminder.
A full-production Nikon D850 loaner unit landed in our office late last week. While there's much more shooting to be done, here are a few of our first images from Nikon's latest DSLR.
Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over the past week. Take a look.
Nikon has added a sixth lens to its collection of fast F1.4 primes. The AF-S Nikkor 28mm F1.4E ED has a nine-blade aperture and weather-sealing and will hit stores in late June.
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV is an entry-level mirrorless camera that's feature-packed, and will appeal to beginners as well as more experienced users. Read about the ins and outs of this image-stabilized, low-priced camera here.
The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 (G110 in some regions) is a mirrorless camera designed for vlogging. Its 20MP Four Thirds sensor is paired with clever tracking audio technology, but we have our reservations.
The GFX 100S fits most of the capabilities of the GFX 100 into a smaller and more affordable body. We've tested what the camera offers to see who it might make sense for.
The Sony Alpha 1 is Sony's flagship mirrorless camera for, well, just about anything. With a 50MP sensor, it gives you tons of resolution, but it also lets you fire off burst images at 30 fps for fast action sports. Add in 8K video capture and you have a really impressive package.
The DJI Air 2S is exactly what many drone enthusiasts have been asking for: a consumerdrone with a 1"-type camera sensor that's budget-friendly. Does it live up to the hype? In our opinion, yes.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional productions or A-camera for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
