    Identify 'Original' Battery Grip

    Been looking at battery grips for the D7000 Thought it would be best to get the Nikon MB-D11 itself as opposed to third party grips as they have no presence here & it would be money down the drain if something goes wrong as am certain there will be no support. Anyway, i see the pricing of the...

    Manfrotto 498 RC2 - Very Disappointed

    This was something i had noticed right at the beginning when i got the tripod & ball head (055Xprob + 498 RC2), but always thought it was a technical error from my end. Once i tighten the camera with QR plate on the ball head, there is always a bit of play. Not with light lens like the 18-55 or...

    "Portfolio" ?

    Just trying to understand what this must be made of or what's expected. Am sure that this must include your best photos, but does it also mean this should include some commercial shoots? If so, how do you start off with a portfolio before you can actually do any work? Should it just be random...

    Some Questions on using the SB-700

    I just started using the SB-700 & it got some getting used to as it's the absolute first time with flashes for me.... Some things are bugging me though: a) Most people advise to use the speed-light in M mode... How do you figure how much light is necessary? Trial & Error? Experience? b) Using...

    Hello SB-700

    I went ahead & ordered the SB-700. I Even paid like $50 more to have it delivered in the next 6 hours. I could've gotten it for $50 less & the wait would've been for 4 days. NAS has this crazy effect on me every time i catch the bug Many many thanks to Jack, Wayne, Pat, Don & everyone else...

    Midwest Photo Exchange Compact OCF Jump Starter Kit After reading a lot of recommendations from various sites, i thought i would get this. But unfortunately, the cheapest shipping they offer is around $80. So that adds up to $175 which is almost double the actual cost. Does anyone think it's...

    How does Ken Rockwell manage to do this?

    Well this ain't a KW bashing thread. Nor is it about the content of the site... My question is this- How does Ken Rockwell manage to end up as the first search result for any photography related search? There are tons of specialists of SEO who for sure can beat the ranking.. but it doesn't...

    Ring Lights?

    I am thinking of adding a flash ring unit, but not sure which ones are good. Would be nice if anyone here has any ideas. Obviously the R1C1 Nikon system seems to be the best & it is the most expensive too. If this lens would be purely for macro/product photography, would it make sense to just...

    Photo Critique!

    We've seen some debate about the photo critique section & it's merits and demerits... Am thinking out loud here, not sure if this is feasible at all- can we make the critique section like a feedback form for both posters & reviewers? The requirements for the poster would be like only a single...

    I just ordered this lens.. quite kicked about it :) I contemplated hard between this and the Sigma 105mm & 150mm, but just decided to stay with Nikon.

No complicated sliders and stuff.. just a click of a button. Can be used for single or...
