Today, Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon Z50II and the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens with Sample Photos

Today, I received the latest Nikon camera release, The Z50II along with the DX lens 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3.

I had a chance to use this combination shortly after delivery as I provide event photography coverage for a major local holiday event.
