Read MoreIn 2021, during my second run as an on-air talent at my old college radio station WHCL, I slapped together a musical collage of 1970’s hits, all soldered to the Incredible Bongo Band’s track “Bongolia!” It was named in honor and in memory of a wonderful professor I knew in college, Samuel Pellman. I don’t…
Read MoreToday, Nikon released the news. They are introducing a true retro full-frame mirrorless camera. And as they did when they produced the Nikon Df camera (of which I own two), their new shooter is called the Zf. Here’s a link to Nikon’s advertising page and all the camera’s specs.
