Brian Long is a professional writer, with around forty books on motoring subjects to his credit. Coming from an engineering background he has been a lifelong fan of photography, and his interests gradually turned from being behind the camera to appreciating what made each model (or lens) special from a technical point of view.

His love of the Nikon brand has been forged out of respect, and he now has an impressive collection of these most famous of high-quality Japanese cameras and the legendary Nikkor lenses that are sold alongside them.
