Update: the price is now back to $1,996.95.

The Nikon D750 camera is currently selling for $1,696.95 at Amazon (shipped from and sold by amazon.com). This is $300 off compared to the $1,996.95 price of the D750 at B&H and Adorama. Note that this is a “regular” D750 that comes with US warranty and not a grey market or refurbished model. The listing is either a mistake or a new price drop that will become official next week.

Iceland in black and white

Iceland in black and white by Sven Verbruci (Website | Facebook | Instagram):

Every year I set out to do a roadtrip with my dad. Starting in the Netherlands where we live, we drove a two seater roadster to Italy to get challanged by some legendary mountain passes. After seeing the Tibet Hütte at the top of the Stelvio pass more than a dozen times we decided it was times for something else and made plans to go to Iceland!

As to be expected I did bring along some of my Nikon gear. Two bodies and four lenses were packed into my Lowepro AW 400 backpack, which you’ll read more about later on. This post is meant to be an inspiration to those who are also travel enthusiasts and have a great love for photography as well. Please remember; both traveller and photohrapher will really need to go and see Iceland for themselves, as not certainly not me, nor any photographer can fully capture on camera that what Iceland truly beholds.

What follows is a short story about my first time visit to this great and unforgettable island.
