    My First Nikon

    The seller didn't have a lens for it, so he said. So I have to find a 1.8 AI-S lens, preferably a 50mm.

    Pro vs. General Lenses

    I've been reading a few threads on this forum, and also looking through the catalog of Nikkor lenses, and I've noticed that the pro lenses are not what you would want for travelling, or the kind of versatility you would want as a tourist. I'm guessing that those of you who have enjoyed a Nikon...

    Personal Blogs

    Are we allowed to include a personal blog in our profile? I have a WordPress blog for photography, and I wanted to include it. If we're not, it's okay with me.

    Book Orders

    I've just ordered two used photography books from Amazon: Using Your Camera: A Basic Guide to 35mm Photography, by George Schaub, and Basic 35mm Photo Guide, by Craig Alesse. I might be ahead of Alesse's book, since I do have experience with an SLR, but I might get something out of it. I think...

    My First Nikon

    I went to Photo Outfitters (a used camera store and Nikon dealer) today to see about an FM2. They didn't have one, but they did have an FE2. I talked to the guy for an hour or more about these cameras and all the differences, and I decided to buy the FE2. It's near mint, and the owner is going...

    Your First 50mm Lens

    I'd like to know what your first 50mm lens was. One thing that stuck with me when I started learning about photography was the advice to beginners to go out for a day of shooting with a prime lens. A zoom offers too much freedom to the effect that you don't learn basic skill. My previous SLR...

    Self-timers

    I'm really curious about self-timers in high end cameras. I have a Canon A640 (very old), with a 30sec timer. It was a high end point and shoot when it was current, and I figured a high end camera should have a much better timer - like at least a minute or more. I've looked at the specs on the...

    Question for the Pros

    In your experience, when pros and other experts see an obvious newbie with a $2,000 or $3,000 body, do they look down on them and think "Oh, look! More money than brains!", or do they look at them with a D800 around their neck and think, "Well, he's got a lot of room to grow with that. More...

    Apparently this site keeps logging me out while I'm typing a post, and I currently have to posts pending, which couldn't be posted because I was logged out when I finished. I've looked all over this site, and I can't find them to post them before they expire. Can you help?

    Hoping for my first Nikon

    Hello Photobugs! My dad had an Olympus OM-10 for most of my growing up years, and he took a lot of great photos with it. In this way, he was a major influence on me having an interest in photography. When I was about 20 he bought a new OM model, and sold me the OM-10, with a Vivitar zoom lens...
