The third annual Nikon Day festival, which was attended by more than 2,000 photography enthusiasts, ended in New York. On November 17th at the Montblanc Lofts Chalet, guests tested the brilliant new Nikon Z 50 mirrorless camera with the first NIKKOR Z lenses in the DX format, as well as the full-frame Z 6 and Z 7 cameras in a variety of photographic zones. More than 200 visitors took part in the free test-drive of the latest products from Nikon.
Nikon’s specialist Dmitry Korostylev spoke about the ultra-wide Z lens, which will help even the beginner to create incredible photos and breathtaking videos. For professional photographers, there was a workshop at the site, where the participants were told about Nikon Professional Services NPS . This program is a great helper for any professional. It provides premium technical service, express repairs, and even an annual opportunity to clean and set up registered photo equipment for free.
