    SD Cards?

    A few questions on card storage if I may..... What size & format SD cards would be best for shooting RAW on a D610? I like Sandisk as a brand, the Extreme Pro range is their fastest. But UHS I or UHS II? Update: I found a handy Sandisk DSLR compatibility page: SanDisk | Product Compatibility...

    Manfrotto confusion

    I am looking for a tripod & am considering the Manfrotto range. Unfortunately the range looks large & confusing with no useful comparison or advice on their website. Usage: Close-up & macro work both indoors & on location. Occasional landscape use. Weight: D610 + 105mm f2.8 micro + flash...

    Lightroom availability

    Hi I'm currently using Photoshop elements for image editing. For my forthcoming camera upgrade, I checked the price of Lightroom, only to find that it only seems to be available as a Creative Cloud "payment plan". Is this correct, or am I missing something?

    AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

    I think I may have found my walkaround/character portrait/wildlife lens. This would seem to merge nicely with my planned 16-35mm f4 landscape lens. The 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 on a D610 seems to do the trick. 4.5" long, a little heavy at 800g, but covers 2 lenses for me. (24-85mm walkabout, 70-300mm...

    Macbook Pro for image editing?

    My main use computer is a Windows 7 desktop, I also have a Mac Mini. I have Photoshop Elements on the Windows pc. I'll shortly need to replace my ageing laptop & could justify a Macbook Pro. Would a Macbook Pro (i5, 8mb RAM, 512gb SSD) be suitable for image editing work (along with an external...

    Nikon macro

    I'm edging towards a D610 with Nikon 105mm micro lens for macro work. Macro subject matter: tropical fish, insects, flowers. (I cannot use flash with the fish). For outdoor & indoor shots of flowers & insects which flash unit would you recommend? Could the 105mm micro be reasonably used as a...

    Noob lens choice advice please

    Hi After not getting my head bitten-off in the "introductions" section, I'm feeling brave enough to dip my toe in the real forum! :) My experience dried up around 25 years ago when my last 2 cameras were a Canon A1 & Canon EOS 10. Both 35mm. I'd like to go the Nikon route this time around & I...

    Greetings from the Isle of Man

    Hi I was a keen amateur but slowly dropped out about 25 years ago. My last camera was a Canon A1 35mm - which I still have in the loft somewhere. Apart from dallying with a Canon IXUS & the iPhone camera (cough), I've not got much experience with digital photography. Recently, I've caught the...
