I found a cheapish teleconverter, the 2e ii(the older one) Price is something like 120 usd or so. Does any if you have some experience with this one? And sample pictures would be great :-) The big question, I guess, is if the tc is too outdated to warrant the price? I'd be using it with...

I know it's still pretty new, so experience might be limited, but maybe someone picked it up early. The new Tamron 70-200 2.8 di vc usd. It seems like a viable alternative to the much pricier nikon, at least based on iq. But how about actual use? Af speed, af accuracy, and all the other...

I'm using a d7000 with a sigma 70-200 apo dg macro hsm. I can't get a sharp picture if my life depended on it.(not true, indoors at 70 mm is ok) - i can't figure out if focus is off on the camera or the lens....but i made a lot of testshots on a ruler, and they were ok. But look at this, taken...

This won't be a 365 thread, or weekly for that matter. In between work, family and friends, my time to take photos and process them is quite limited, which means i might go a week or 2 without turning on the camera, and then shoot 500 pictures during a weekend. The thread will probably show...

I've been offered to buy a stack of old lenses cheaply, but they would be shipped, so i can't check them out in rl before saying yes. Can any of you guys, from this image, tell me, 1: they are for Nikon, and 2: if they are useful in any shape or way :)

Hi all I'm still struggling a bit with my d7k. The camera works fine, no backfocus etc. But i often get less than sharp images, especially of moving objects. I'm guessing it's because of the focus settings. I have the camera in AF-A and 3d focus. The reason for using 3D is that i want the...

I have the nikkor 55-300 lens, and it's quite ok. However it's not terribly sharp on the long end. So I'm considering upgrading to the 70-200, which should be ultra sharp. I know the 70-200 is an fx lens, so it'll be something like 105-300 on my d7000. The loss of the 55-105 area isn't a...

I'm considering expanding my arsenal with a wide to normal zoom, and rather than getting the 18-55 kit lens, i'd go for one of the low light capable f/2.8's Price is a bit of a concern generally speaking though, the sigma and tamron versions run at a price roughly equal to 500 us dollars, while...

EXIF Camera: Nikon D7000 Exposure: 1/200 @ f/1.8 Focal length: 35mm ISO: 800 Lens: AF-S DX Nikkor 35 mm f/1.8G An attempt at a portrait of my daughter Anne on her 6 months "birthday" I don't have the room for a proper studio, so this is shot with a bookcase as a background, i know it looks...

This ons is also horribly overexposed for some reason Disregard the poor settings, we were just messing around a bit, but surely the gear combo i listed should be capable of making pictures a lot sharper than this? No editing done, just resizing the out-of-camera jpgs

Hi all I bought a d7000 a few days ago, to replace my d3100. I love the better feel of it, and more accessible controls, and the size suits my big hands better. However i'm starting to worry i might have this much-discussed autofocus problem; only problem is, all i can find on it is some...

I have 3 lenses atm; kit 18-105 mm, 35 f/1.8 and the 55-300 vr, all nikkor. I'm tempted to try and sell my 18-105 kit lens, since i rarely find myself using it. Outdoors it's the 55-300, and indoors always the 35mm. As you might have guessed, landscape isn't really my thing. The reason i...

Hi all I recently purchased the lowepro fastpack 350, for those occasions when i want to carry all my gear. For travelling light i've been using my trusty old lowepro passport sling. Unfortunately i've outgrown the passport. A d3100 with a grip, and the nikkor 55-300 means the bag won't zip...

Hi all I'm looking to add an 85, or alternatively a 50 mm lens to my arsenal, for portrait photos. I have a d3100 atm, but kinda considering moving to d7000. I know most of the older 50 and 85 mm's won't autofocus on my camera, but for portraits i guess it doesn't matter at all? So if i want...

Hi all I purchased a D3100 with the kit 18-105 lens around august 2011, and i'm actually quite happy with it, in general. But for the type of photos i find myself shooting, i'm starting to see som limitations. I shoot in burst mode quite a lot, outside, often in the late afternoon(so fading...
