Trivia/Background:
Headed to Bulburin National Park with only the Z Fc and no GoPros. Tried to make it work, and I think I succeded.
Really should have given the kit lens a go on the Z Fc, but thought the weight of the 18-200 would keep things more stable. I was wrong.
It’s more a review of the Z Fc, than a look around Bulburin.

Description:
I’ve used the Nikon Z Fc for a few shots in the videos that have been produced so far, but as promised, here’s a more in depth look at it. What lens should you use for video? Is the FTZ any good? Can a US$100 TTArtisan 17mm f/1.4 lens really be any good? How would it compare to Kubrick’s legendary f/0.7 Zeiss ex-NASA lens?
While answering these questions, we do a lap of Bulburin National Park to test things out. It’s a large section of largely untouched subtropical rainforest, but there’s not a lot there besides a few camp spots and a nice drive - still making it worth a visit.
