I'm new to DSLRs and am a bit confused about how to tell a good macro lens based on specs. For one, there are primes across a range of focal lengths (40, 60, 90, 105, 135, to name a few) that are macro capable. Is it safe to assume longer lenses are better at macro? Then, there are some zooms...

So newbie here, and acquired a Nikon Series E 50mm F/1.8 and a Nikkor-Q 200mm F/4. Any of you use these on a D3x00 body? I'd love to hear your experience and receive any tips on getting the most out of these lenses on the D3300. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's your favorite trick / hack / feature of your D3300 that you use all the time and wish you had learned about earlier? Asking from the POV of a newbie trying to learn the ropes quicker [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK, so I was wrong about the sharpness on the 35mm for distant objects. I went back and redid the crop, and to my eyes the 35mm is not exactly the slouch that I made it out to be in my earlier post. The first pic is a 100% crop of the scene shot with the 35mm, and the second is the shot with the...

Hello Nikonites, I joined this forum about a week ago and am already blown away by how amazingly knowledgeable and helpful the forum members are. I'm glad I found this resource early in my Nikon DSLR journey as it is helping me come up the learning curve like a boss! Thank you! :D

@hrstrat57, guess you missed my earlier post where I said I ended up walking away from the lens because of blemishes on the front lens and the likelihood that the seller hadn't cared for it well. :( So I'm back on the lookout, but might consider a refurb with a short guarantee period rather than...

OMG @hrstrat57, you slay me! @SteveH, thanks for the heads up on the weight not being that big an issue. So to change topics a bit, last night while waiting for the seller to show up, I took some test shots with my 35mm prime. I took a shot of a strip mall about 150 feet away under street...

OK, so I'm getting a great deal on a barely used 55-200 VR (not VR II) zoom lens ($50). I currently have a 35mm F/1.8 prime and the 18-55mm kit zoom, and thought this may be a good option to cover me in the telephoto range (zoomed in shots of kiddo, backyard animals, wildlife, etc.) Can anyone...

Took some D3300 test shots with the 35mm prime at a daytime get together today. The shots were all of people / kids indoors under incandescent lighting with varying amounts of natural light. I was initially shooting in aperture priority mode (F2-F8) , but saw that a number of the pics were...

Anyone here use the Sigma 18-250 with their D3300 as a walk around / travel lens? If so, I'd love to hear the pros and cons of this lens with the D3300. I found one used on Craigslist for $200 and was tempted to make the plunge. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am new to D3300 and Nikonites, and just switched to saving pics as RAW + jpg based on advice in this subforum. I use the Photos app on Mac to file my photos, and was happy to see it can import and edit RAW files. What is a good beginner workflow to post process RAW files in the Photos app or...

Hello All! I am a new owner of a D3300 and have the 18-55mm Kit lens and also purchased the 35mm F/1.8 DX lens to improve my photography and DSLR skills. Recently, I chose to use the sport mode for photos of kids in our swimming pool, and noticed I was getting two consecutive shots every time I...
