Thought this might be of use to someone. Lens Specifications and Measurements It lists a whole host of specs and measurements for the given lens (you can compare two lenses at a time). What was most useful to me was the aperture info - what the aperture is for any given focal length. Most...

Never given it much thought until recently. The UK uses PAL, whereas places like the USA use NTSC. With today's PC monitors and HD TVs, does it really matter which we chose, as they all play both formats? I ask because I recorded a very small video of my son's nativity, and when I got home...

Hoping to maybe pick up this old lens for <$75, but just wondering what it might be like coupled with my D5100. I understand, it'll be manual all the way, no metering either, and can only be used in M mode on the camera. Anyone have any views on this lens?

Just noticed the number of sticky's in the D5100 forum increase. Curious as to whether the 'D5100 vs xxxxx' stickies are actually worthy of being made sticky there, and could they not be more suitably placed in a 'Sticky' sub category, where other comparison threads could be moved to as well...

Been looking at possibly getting the SB-700 for my camera, as I often find myself needing to bounce light off (eg. off the ceiling) and my SB-400 not being able to do so when held in portrait (though I don't think that's the only reason to upgrade it!!) a) should I keep the SB-400, or flog it...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice on this thread. Took a few photos at my local fireworks display, and whilst not amazing, I'm happy with a few of the shots I got. Here's a few favourites:

Not sure if this is the best place to put this or not (sure the Mods can move it if needs be). Nikon (UK) have launched their Christmas Cashback for the UK with the following offerings; Category Model Cashback Value DSLR D3100 £35 D3200 £45 D5100 £55 DX Lenses 35mm...

Aside from looking for the obvious like dust, fungus, haze, scratches, is there anything else to be looking for when buying a used lens. I've seen a lens which looks (body wise) in good condition, and the seller has said its missing all the above factors, so that's definitely good...

Is it possible, or would it be possible to make the changing of thread vote/rating allowed? Currently, once you vote on a thread, that 'star' level remains fixed for you and you cannot change it. I for one have found a few threads that are not so useful when they first appeared... but a few...

Anyone know a good way to clean a lens inside, or even somewhere cheap (in UK) that can do it. I have an old Makinon 28-80mm F/3.5-4.5 which looks like its got some fog/fungus on one (or more) of the elements inside. I'm tempted to open it up but I've never dismantled a lens before so not sure...

Whilst looking for a Lightroom 4 guide, I came across an older post (http://nikonites.com/computers-software/841-lightroom-3-user-guide-free-adobe.html) which made reference to the free pdf from Adobe for LR3 which is quite useful. However, as we're on v4 now, thought I'd share the direct link...

Anyone know a quick and easy way to search pictures by lens model and/or focus length I want to organise my pictures by the lens I shot them with. Windows explorer lets you add a 'focal length' column so it's kind of easy to sort out which pics I took with my 18-55mm & 55-200mm lens (anything...

Just out of curiousity, please vote on whether you rotate your camera body clockwise or anti clockwise when taking portrait orientation shots without the need for a flash. If there's any particular direction you use for a reason then feel free to share your reasons, otherwise like I said, just...

I'm shooting in JPEG only at the moment, but am thinking of making the switch to RAW at some point soon. I might even go the RAW+JPEG as an intermediate step before going full RAW, as storage space isn't a huge issue for me currently. My question is though... if I switch from JPEG to RAW+JPEG...

Not sure how to explain this but I'll try; I've had my D5100 'File Number Sequence' set to on, and it was saving images to the 100D5100 folder (default) with sequential numbers. Recently took mem card out to copy pics to PC and on inserting card again, it started saving pics to 101D5100 and at...

I'm after a tele lens to partner the 'kit' 18-55 on the D5100. Basically torn between the; Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Sigma 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DC OS HSM I've tried both, and both are appealing to me - just don't know which one would be better. I'm after something that I...

Decided to go the Nikon route (much deliberation between Nikon & Canon), and finally the D5100 (over the D7000). I'm looking to get the standard 'kit' (body & 18-55mm lens), but also wanted opinions on a couple of other extras; 1) Nikon 50mm 1.8G AF-S or the Nikon 35mm 1.8G AF-S Going to be...
