    Aperture question

    I picked up a D5100 with a Sigma 70-300 DG lens for in the kayak along. I have down loaded the owners manual on line but cannot figure out how to change the aperture without going into aperture mode, I'm in manual mode. What am I missing? I know I can't expect much for $50.00.

    500 f/4 vs 500 f/5.6

    Trying to decide which way to go. Is the 1 stop worth the extra weight? What about image quality? Will probably have a TC1.4 attached most if not all the time. Oh I hate these decisions. I'll be 62 in March, so weight will be a factor soon, and do a lot of hiking to get away from the...

    Teleconverter question

    I use a D850 and Sigma 100 x 400 lens for most of my wildlife photography. I would like to extend my range a little. I have been studying and reading everything I can find on teleconverters. That said, most say that with this combination it's a guessing game as to weather your autofocus will...

    Focus shift question

    I tried my first few attempts at focus shifting yesterday with the 850. I was at an overlook checkin out the fall foliage and remember the 850 had this feature. I never used it but watched a few you tube vids on it. The view was, guessing, close to a mile across the valley. My f stop setting was...

    Shutter issue

    Last night I went to do some shots of the milky way. Set shutter speed on 20", took the shot. Checked the image on the LCD screen, looked good in focus etc. Hit the remote release for another image here shutter speed was changed to 1/60 of a second. Scratched head thought "OK maybe I hit...

    Sigma docking station

    Thinking about getting one. Are they worth it? How about some real life testimony. I've read on another forum they can make ART lenses out of any Sigma lens, really?

    Curiosity macro question

    First I know very little about macro. As I was reading though some of the posts I started thinking about something. If a person uses a bellow or extension tubes do you have to use a macro lens? ( I'm guessing no.) Also any benefit if you do? Thanks.
