    Please understand my ignorance about lenses

    Other than the weight and size differences, could one of the new Nikon AF-S DX 18-300mm and f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lenses virtually replace every smaller lens within the same model and approximate f stop range? Please describe what the differences would be.

    Protecting your lens glass

    I've read that it is a good idea to protect your lens glass with a filter. Replacing a filter is certainly less expensive than having to replace a lens because of a scratched lens glass. Since a D5100 does not need a UV filter in all cases, do most of you use a clear filter for protecting your...

    It seems like everywhere I go.

    It would have to be one of my least favorite subjects and otherwise I wouldn’t have brought it up, but everywhere I go it seems as though someone is always talking about Kim Kardashian. I’m sure she won't losing any sleep over it but would someone recommend her for the next NASA trip to Mars?

    Do you have a Lowepro backpack?

    If you have a Lowepro style backpack for your camera equipment, what do you think about it? I need to increase my carrying capacity now with a new lens. This particular one looks like it may be a little more than I need right right now.

    First practice shot with the Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm lens

    This was the first shot with my new 70-300mm VR lens with automatic focus. Taken today on a very foggy morning. The train was approximately 50 yards from camera. It's not the best but it's a start. Must have been the fog. All opinions are welcome.

    How many of you advanced or professional photographers follow this?

    I realize everyone that been around photography for a while has developed their own techniques but I was wondering, if you are a pro, do you pretty much agree with this information? I have read it thoroughly a couple of times and find a lot of it over my head but for the most part very...

    Picture color quality

    If I understand what I've been reading, "chromatic aberration" is one of the reasons for the lack of color quality we expect to see in some pictures. This factor can be caused by the quality of the glass used in lenses. The quality of glass is one of the reasons why some lenses are so much more...

    Nikon School?

    Has anyone signed up for the Nikon School software and what did you think about it? I'm sure a lot of you already know enough that this software wouldn't benefit you much.

    This has something to do with photography

    I like using Google Earth and find it fascinating every time I use it. What I've always wondered is, how do they take the street level pictures? Those can't possibly be from the satellite view and I know there are not thousands of photographers running around taking pictures on every street in...

    I can't take credit for taking these pictures but I wish I could claim them. I'm sure a lot of you have seen these 2008 picture of the Chaiten volcano eruption in Chile that are absolutely spectacular.

    Do you think you could notice the difference?

    Do you think you could notice the difference between pictures taken with a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G and a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens? This question probably can only be answer by someone that has used both. I trying to decide which one I want. biggest difference is price.

    Confused about autofocus lens choices

    I've had my D5100 for about a month. There are so many lens choices and I am confused most of the time which 300mm telephoto lens will autofocus on my D5100. I'm not familiar with all of the AF verses AF-S differences. Any advice will be appreciated.

    What's your bag?

    So far I just have a pretty basic camera bag. I was wondering what all of you are carrying your D5100 and equipment with.
