PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Nikon D810 + Carl Zeiss Distagon 21mm F/2.8
Nikon’s D800 series are regarded as some of the best DSLRs ever made, and the D810, while often an overshadowed middle child, is no exception.
Although it was discontinued in 2019, this beast is unequivocally tried and tested. The immense range of F-mount lenses means you can make the most of its remarkable 36MP sensor and low-light performance.
The Zeiss Distagon 21mm f/2.8 is a hefty all-metal, manual-focus lens. With exceptional colour control thanks to the Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflection coating, and its wide aperture is suited to working in low-light, this lens does exactly what you expect from Carl Zeiss lenses: it delivers.
