My company treated me to a delightful Christmas present: a Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S - and what a beauty! It is.
I thought a nice test for the lens would be the Christmas lights outside our office opposite Windsor Castle and tonight was the first night with a clear night since Christmas so out I went out and tested it - and I’m very pleased with the results.
Now comes the challenge: resisting the classic photographer’s temptation to use a new lens for everything over the next month, instead of saving it for when it’s genuinely the right lens for the job.
I can’t help but think back to the late ’90s, when the standard lens - before the 24-70mm f/2.8 took over - was the 16–35mm f/2.8. We press photographers shot around 80% of all our assignments with it. Looking back now, I cringe looking at images from that era… everything was so distorted!

Have you ever thought about walking a Camino, or wondered what it’s really like to spend weeks on the trail?
Last year (July 2025) Marianne and I walked the Camino Francés (The French Way) - 779 kilometres (484 miles) from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port 🇫🇷 to Santiago de Compostela 🇪🇸
It took us 42 days, and it turned out to be an unforgettable journey.
We met incredible people along the way, and a strong sense of companionship grew among pilgrims sharing the same destination. The camaraderie on the Camino is something truly special.
I kept a photo journal with notes every day during the walk, and I have just published it on my new website, which showcases my editorial photography: markearthy.com (link in profile)
I hope the images and stories on the journal will inspire others to walk a Camino.
Buen Camino! and Happy New Year!
