Earlier this week I went to photograph in Assateague Island National Seashore and nearby Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge. I wanted to put the new
Nikon D750 through its paces to see how well it would do as a travel and landscape camera. I had four lenses in the kit, the
Nikon 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 zoom,
Nikon 70-200mm f/4 zoom,
Nikon 24-120mm f/4 zoom, and the
Nikon 20mm f/1.8. I have reviewed all of these lenses in addition to the camera and provided links to these reviews by clicking on their names above.
For the long shots of wild life I primarily used the 80-400 zoom, and for most of the landscape shots the 24-120mm.
