My latest lens acquisition... I think I like the results. My idea was to get a smaller and lighter tele zoom, because it is not always convenient to travel with a 70-200VR, and primes are not optimal while on the road. I got a Zoom-Nikkor AI 80-200mm f/4.5 N and it is lighter than a 180/2.8...

My daughter will be 9 years old in two weeks. I shot a small "birthday photo session" with her outside. The lenses used were AI 55mm f/1.2, AF-S 35mm f/1.4G and AF-S 200mm f/2G VR II and the bodies were D2x and D3x. The clock battery of D2x expired and the date reset itself to 1/1/2006...

Nea (8 years) and Evelina (18 years) enjoyed some tree climbing. I preferred the solid ground. 20170727-_P3F3412 by foppa2011, on Flickr 20170727-_P3F3432 by foppa2011, on Flickr 20170727-_P3F3420 by foppa2011, on Flickr 20170727-_P3F3409 by foppa2011, on Flickr

A dedicated macro lens is not always a necessity. Sometimes any old tele lens with a TC or perhaps some extension might do the trick. These are not life size (1:1), but the reproduction ratio is about 1:3.5 which usually is sufficient to fill the frame with butterflies and dragonflies and...

I couldn't find a thread about this lens. Could be that it is buried deep somewhere, or my ailing eyes just missed it. Anyway, here's a couple or reds shot with it. Red #1 20180515-_P3F5076 by foppa2011, on Flickr Red #2 20180515-_P3F5083 by foppa2011, on Flickr

- Open the pod bay doors, HAL. - I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Well, not the cat but myself. I bought from a garage sale an old but nice Nikkor AI 55mm f/1.2 lens. I is externally like new and functions perfectly. I'd say a well spent $20. This is my 11th nifty-fifty lens and I think I have enough of those. Maybe I start collecting 35mm lenses next. :p...

Just a casual portrait from the hip while we were chatting.

After pondering about the feature mix that Nikon decided on the D7500, I have made two conclusions. First, the dropping the AI-indexing tab, battery grip and and the second card slot seems to mean that there will be a successor to the D500. There needs to be one DX body fitted with all the...

When to use teleconverter and when not to? The easy answer is "it depends." Some people claim that a teleconverter destroys lens resolution and that cropping an image instead is often the better option. Some say that adding a good quality teleconverter is often better than cropping. Which is...

A couple of two-shot "panoramas" with a Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fish on D3X. The lens cannot render a full circular image on full frame, but taking one shot in landscape orientation and another in portrait, it is easy to combine them to make the full circular image. Interior view And outside

What happened in this subforum? Last post in August 2016. Are the D4 series users busy shooting, or have they all croaked, or updated to D5? Am i the only one left? :( I'll get D5S when it comes out, probably about this time next year. Until then I'll keep on banging my D4S.
