I want to start by saying that Nigel Danson's production quality is getting out of control; it's indistinguishable from a high-end TV show at this point! Perhaps that doesn't make the reviews of lenses any better, but it makes them a damn sight more enjoyable to watch!
Danson is currently roaming around Ireland and in this video, he is using the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens. With such a broad focal range, this lens lends itself to a lot of situations and is perhaps trying to nail down the "walkaround" lens. A walkaround lens is generally highly versatile without being too heavy. For example, you could shoot wide-angle landscapes, but also telephoto portraits. There was a time — perhaps only a decade ago — when these incredibly versatile lenses were jacks of all trades, masters of none. In fact, the ones I tried were underwhelming in everything they did, they were just easier than taking lots of lenses with you. Now, the latest Nikon to take on this versatile role appears to be doing it very well indeed!
Do you use a walkaround lens? Why or why not?
Terrible sky and light...cloudy...
I use a Tamron 18-300 for my walkabouts
