Looking for the BEST CPL for sailing / ocean pics. I would think said CPL would work well for my Alaska / Denali trip next week as well. I used a HOYA NXT a couple of months ago on a sail trip. It was my first use of one. Pics came out good. I was kinda expecting more of a "WOW" or "POP" out of...

I've been reading in different forums trying to research different equipment. I have noticed a few times people may try several lenses or even multiple cameras over a short period of time to purchase, then not be happy & return them. Some websites often encourage you to test a lense for a...

Just picked up my D5500. So far so good. How do you switch to 16:9 aspect ratio? I see the 3 preset "image size" small, medium, large all at 3:2. I've searched & no luck...

I chose the Nikon D5500 for my 1st DSLR, now I'm selecting a lense. I will need more than a 18-55. I like the Versatility (not having to swap out lense) of an all-in-one type; 18-140, 18-200, 18-300. All 4 are f/3.5-5.6 VR11 (18-140 & 300 VR only). My question is comparing the 18-55 to the...
