Ended up biting the bullet on an excellent condition from Robert’s Camera With 23k shutter count. Was about $80 cheaper then comparable on MPB and I like supporting my local camera store as Robert’s is about a hour north of me.

Thanks everyone. That's pretty much what I assumed. Now just to find a good deal on one LOL UsedPhotoPro (Roberts Camera used section) is about a hour from me, was hoping to pick one up form there but so far all their ones available are 70,000+ shutters. Really don't want to go that high.

Currently have a D7200. Do alot of sports and wildlife with a few portraits sessions thrown in. I'm thinking of upgrading to the D500. I like the FPS, focus system and weatherproofing. Is that still a valid upgrade option in 2024? Or should I be looking somewhere else? I'm not sure about full...

So I’ve have started shooting professional ECHL hockey for a website. I’m shooting 500-700 photos a game. Which I then have the turnout and post that same night to website. Is there a way to rate or star photos in camera so that when I cull after the game it’s easy to see those and double...

This may be something super simple that I'm just missing but I've noticed some photos with my 80-200 2.8 I have some blue color casting around the edges of my detail. I'm using the 80-200 with a Nikon D7200. I had to turn up the shadows in this RAW image to bring up the detail in the black bird...

So I just recently bought a old school 80-200 2.8 to use with my newspaper sports photography. And it got me thinking, how well would a 1.4 or 2x teleconverter work with this lens? Since this lens is old school AF and the newer teleconverters are AF-S, wound that be a issue? Do I need to try...

So I don't have a Photography Business per se, I'm mainly free lance sports photographer for local newspaper. But I've upgrade my gear over time and am now traveling with my gear alot. I'm wondering should I add on any type of insurance? I realize auto will cover if inside the car. But what...

Owner of a new to me 80-200 2.8.I rented the Tamron 70-200 G2 about 6 months ago and was really wanting one of those. Unfortunately I just couldn't justify the price even for used. So realized the old school 80's 80-200 were fairly good deal on eBay. So went that route to hold me over till I...

So... Was out today and decided to try some bracketing. I have a D7200, Think I set it up right on the camera. According to the top screen it was setup to take 5 photos at 2 exposure stops difference. But the camera only took one photo. Does it not work with Raw files? Or is it useless with raw...

Hello Nikonites. Was trying to get some opinions from better educated people then me. I'm looking at upgrading my gear. I'm thinking of moving up to a D7200 from my D3200. I rented a D7200 this weekend but haven't been impressed so far. Most images seem to be blurry. Or out of focus. Not sure if...

I'll start off by saying that I'm a hobbyist, who's never once got paid for a single photo I've taken. I'd like to start changing that. I shoot mainly sports, motorsports and some wildlife. I understand wildlife won't be buying my photos, so this is really geared towards sports. I'm shooting...

Finally got my camera to IMS and was able to get some pics during Friday's practice and race #1 for both Pro Mazda and Indy Lights. Was a fun time. Only my 2nd time with the panning technique but think some came out really good. Looking forward to trying it again when they are going 200+ on the...

Hello fellow Nikon users. I'm in a bit of a delimma, I currently have a D3200 that I've taken about 6000 photos on and has been great for a starter camera. I also have the 18-55 kit lens, 50mm 1.8 and a Tamron 70-300. I think I have found that I like shooting wildlife, landscapes and...

Finally got my camera out to a local racetrack to attempt my hand at panning. This was my first attempt and really happy with how some of the pictures came out. I posted my favorite 4 below, always open to CC. Sportsdrome 4-28 by Jeffrey Everroad, on Flickr Sportsdrome 4-28 by Jeffrey...

I'd really like to get into shooting some racing and get experience panning. Most tracks around me are dirt tracks that only allow crew and track photographers in the infield. I've reach out via social media to both photographers at my two closest tracks about a month ago and haven't gotten a...
