Selling mirror less Nikon Z6, one of the best cameras for night photography

Selling the Nikon Z6 full frame mirror-less camera body which I originally bought for Milky way and astrophotogrpahy.

It was the best camera of 2019-2020; and is still great for night photography and videography.

My camera is in excellent condition with a shutter count of only 13600 (the camera is rated at 200,00 life time shutter count). It comes with battery, charger, and screen protectors installed.

I am selling the camera with Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S lens that i bought six months ago. The lens comes with a 62mm UV filter.

I have discovered that prime lens does not suit my shooting style. The lens is in mint condition.

I will sell the lens and the camera body together for $1050. Individually, the camera goes for $800 and the lens for $375.

Let me know if you are interested.

WVAC Field Trip to the Meteor Crater 

WVAC Field Trip to the Meteor Crater
It was a gorgeous day in the 80’s with some cloud cover.  The scheduled tour guide was ill & left but a substitute arrived shortly & saved the day!  The rim tour allowed us spectacular unobstructed views & a refreshing cool breeze.  We explored the Discovery Center, saw the meteor video & experienced the immersive 4D feature that was reminiscent of Disneyland rides!  We had big smiles all around.  Lunch & coffee were enjoyed on site as well.  Participants: Bob & Carolyn Colbert, John Hiatt, Richard Miller & his grandson Adam, Sandy Dunn,  Lana Slinkard & a guest (brother Justin Ratay).
