    35 50 and thinking of adding a 28 1.8

    I heard people say - pick the 35 or 50 and get only one because they are so close in focal lengths. Well for my shooting they are very different and I know when to choose the 50 and the 35 plays most of the time. I've started to notice a limit in my day to day shooting and want to go a little...

    This ? has probably been asked a ton but here it goes

    I'm wanting to add a body to my my 7000 and I'm looking at a used 700 or 800. I hear the 700 nails focus pretty much all the time and that is a big plus for me. The 95%ish viewfinder will take some getting used to I'm spoiled with 100% and frame every shot as tight as I can. I'm not in the...

    continuous lighting - to multi bulb or bump up the power?

    Is there an equation or chart for brightness and multiple bulbs of the same or differing brightness. If I had say 1 bulb with 1700 lumens on an umbrella what effect would adding an additional bulb of the same make have? I've been going from CFLs to LEDs and now have some 150W and 200W...

    D7000 in commander mode and softbox or umbrella

    I've had the SB600 for quite a while now but for the most part only used it rarely to bounce off of walls or the ceiling mounted on camera. Recently I started to play around with syncing the body with the flash and seeing what I can get using TTL settings. I will start manual flash settings once...

    SD card question

    I'm currently shooting with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s 16GB (free from BH w/ body). Doesn't seem like a bad card by any means but think I need to get another for overflow as I'm now shooting in RAW+JPEG Fine L and it may tip the scales when I have a chance to really do some shooting. Do you...

    picture control curious question

    Curious as to what you guys have your picture control set to most of the time and how many adjust the default settings. Currently I shoot in RAW+JPG Fine using unmodified standard picture control. Once I get a little better at working with RAW files I'll probably drop it down to RAW+jpg basic...

    D7000 ultra wide angle decision

    I recently upgraded from a D60 to D7000. I'm planing on selling my D60 and will be including the 18-55 kit lens. When I shoot wider than 50mm it's usually as wide as I can go or close to it. I was looking at the first copy of the Tokina 12-24 as an option after I sale the other outfit. The...
