I just read a review that indicated that this lens is not an FX format lens. I haven't ever read anything that indicated this before, and since it isn't a DX lens, assumed that it is a a full-frame lens. Can anyone here clear this up for me? I've tried the Nikon USA site and did a search here...

What is the technique of blending many small pictures or parts together to make up a much larger image? Does anyone have experience with doing this? What tools are needed to create this? Thanks! WM

I had lunch with some co-workers today and the subject of photography came up. Turns out two of the other three were proud Canon owners who proceeded to give me grief about my "inferior Nikon" equipment. I didn't talk back to them at all, since I've learned not to over the years. (Mark Twain...

I just went out to the wood crib to keep the fireplace stocked and there were very light snow flakes falling here, outside of Niceville, Florida. Yeah, I know we get excited about a few little flakes, but I won't have to shovel any of it either!! WM

I'm looking at a new lens which is available as a used "Demo" or refurbished. The prices are within $10 US of each other, so price isn't a driving factor. The used lens has a 30-day warranty and the refurbished has a 90-day warranty. So my questions is, would you buy the refurbished or the...

I'm in. I'll have to wait until this trip is over to post my initial images. This should be interesting; I've already gone out in the rain to photograph some birds. If not for this challenge, I likely would have passed on the opportunity. WM

Over the last few months, most of all of my photography efforts have been for the Niceville, Florida Senior High School Eagle Pride Marching Band. I've taken between 2500-2700 shots in what can mostly be described as fair lighting , at best, along with three other "band photographers"...

I've had my D700 for a few months and it is now my "reach for" camera. (My other is a D90.) I am simply elated with this camera. But,if upgrades were available, I'd want the D700 to have an upgraded processor for improved ISO range and performance and sensor resolution of 16-19 MPix. What...

I went digital because of the cost of film and processing for one family trip; to Pasadena, California for the 2008 Tournament of Roses Parade. I had discussed purchasing a digital SLR for the trip earlier with my wife, who was staunchly against me spending more money on cameras. (I already...

I am looking for recommendations from the community in regards to Nikon's 85 mm lens lineup. I'm leaning towards either the AF-s f/1.4 or the -D f/1.4, but I could be swayed toward the f/1.8 lenses , as well. Does anyone have experience with any of these lenses that they are willing to share? ​WM

I just can't stop laughing at the first photo in this group. NH turkeys fed beer for flavor, size WM

I was going through two camera cases, one holding my Hasselblad 500 C and accessories. While I can't use any of the filters with my new Nikkor lenses (too small), I can use them with a couple of my old Nikkor manual focus lenses if I use step-up rings. While I had the case open, I took the...

My new Nikkor 105 2.8 G Micro is acting strangely. On both my D90 and D700 the aperture range of the lens is 4.8 to 54. The specifications for the lens are f2.8 to f32. My other lens read properly on both cameras. I haven't had the chance to take it out and see how it works with exposure...

I was out at a local pharmacy this evening and on my way out to my car I saw an adult Cicadia crawling on the side walk, and not wanting to pass up the opportunity to photograph it, I quickly ran my purchase out to my car and went back into the store to find a container to place the Cicadia into...

I'm looking to purchase a 20mm or shorter focal length lens soon and am at a toss-up on whether to buy an autofocus or a manual focus lens. The hyper-focal settings look as though I can set hyper-focal focus and have the image in focus from about 1 meter to infinity at f/11 or so. This will...

I walked into a camera shop today, just to see what they had, and had a great conversation with the sales clerk. I found a new strap that I'd been looking into purchasing, as well as a compact flash card holder. I also looked at the Nikkor 70-200 VR II they had in stock, but they didn't have...

I've been asked to shoot a water skiing tournament this weekend (both days). The one rule I'm informed of is that I can't ride in the boat, so I'll be shooting from shore. It's about 70-90 feet from where I'll shoot from to the buoys on my side of the channel. Does anyone have any advice on...

I just finished reading Timothy Egan's Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, a biography of photographer Edward S. Curtis. If you've viewed many photos of Native North Americans from the late-19th Century and early 20th Century, you've most likely viewed some of Curtis' work. It is a fascinating...
