Bee D800E with Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR lens

Bee at work.

I have the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8VRII and a Zeiss 135mm f2 manual focus lens. Although the latter is different from the Nikon 135mm f2 DC, the Zeiss lens is a very sharp lens, dare I say sharper than my Nikon lenses. Due to the focus breathing, the Nikon 70-200mm at 200mm has an equivalent of...

Thank you. They are average cameras. ;) Thanks and great questions. My cousin didn't actually know that I was a newbie photographer and that I was moving from Japan to California. Since we just arrived recently, the couples already hired Pro photographers and a videographer to shoot the...

I attended my cousin's wedding ceremony last Saturday. Although the couple hired two "Canon" photographers, I stayed out of their way during the actual wedding ceremony as a courtesy. I was one of the sponsors so I had to tuck my cameras away. I was able to shoot some prior to the wedding and...

Bill congrats on our lens acquisition. I don't have that particular model lens but I have the Nikon 28mm f1.8G which is a great lens and has a very pleasing bokeh if you are shooting close-up subjects. I also have the 28mm f3.5 Ai which is what I use for IR photography. Nikon 28mm f1.8G

So this is the final configuration that I went with to divide the camera equipment. Obviously, the 1610 offers much more room. You can even stack smaller lenses such as a 85mm and 50mm on top of each other by placing another partition in between. I am pretty happy with both of these luggages...

I just received my Pelican 1610 camera case with dividers. This is the case that I will be using to safely secure my equipment. The size difference is enormous compared to the smaller Pelican 1510 which is suitable as a carry-on item.

Wild small purple flowers. Cropped.
