Hello all, Is it only me or is Nikon falling behind with fisheye lenses? Not only canon can use our lenses (ie. 14-24mm) but they came out with a 8-15 f/4 fisheye zoom and the 14mm f/2.8. From what i saw on Nikon site there's only the 16mm f/2.8 ( i do use a full-frame body). What else is...

Hello, my widest lens for now is my Nikon 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 D. I'm saving for a wider one but i'm hesitating between those 3 and was wondering if anyone used them. Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S Love the speed, great optics with nano-crystal coating but not being able to fit a filter makes...

Hello, I'm not very rich and i was wondering if the 80-200mm f/2.8 is still considered a good lens by today's standards? I mean before the 70-200 they were in every pros bag weren't they? Or should i just save the extra grand and go for the 70-200mm (is VR worth 1000$), frankly i think i'd...

Hello all, Next month I will be shooting some stained glass in a cathedral including some in areas not usually opened to the public. I have no idea what weather we'll have and what light i'll have shinning through those glasses. Will be using a D700 and 28-70mm /3.5-4.5D and a 70-300mm...

Remains from an old 1840 wooden house that was the victim of arson 2 years ago :-( All that's left is that nice and lonely chimney and the ruins of the stone house (not seen on that picture). I have a whole set of photos from that site.

Nikon D700 1/80 sec ISO 200 116mm Aperture-priority AE

Hello all, i see some shots from time to time with the name of the photographer in tiny characters at the bottom or any other text from that matter. It's not like a watermark all across. Anyone know how to create such text? Can it be done with LR3? Thanks. Ron

My first attempt at posting here, resized file for 800 x 600 but the end result after export was 399 x 600 ?!?!? Don't know why. As for the stats: D700, f/8, 1/250s, 70mm, Aperture Priority, LR3 Post Processing and B+W Polarizing Filter.

Hello, been tinkering with RAW and Lightroom 3, and i save the final result in JPEG. However that results in large files like 15MB and 17MB or so and everyplace i try to upload photos, including Nikonites Photo Critique (part of the forum) and Flickr (has a 10MB limit), the file ends up being...

Hi, been reading the user guide and can't seem to find anything about this. Basically i need to have my photos files to be the date then a sequencial number right from the camera, ie: 2010_11_07_1. Is that even possible? And it it possible for the it to keep doing that even after a card...

So far i've been using Energizers L91 Lithium $2 dollars each... Now i feel like making the jump to rechargeables, which ones would you recommend for heavy use as well as extreme weather. (mainly cold) Any opinions and anecdotes are welcome! NOTE: Using a D700 with Motor drive.
