Ive just got a used 55-200mm VR and I took a few practice shots in the kitchen, but to me the pictures (handheld) with VR off are sharper than those with VR on - is that normal or should I send it back?

Ive got a lightweight tripod with a QR plate, but I hardly ever use it as I cant be doing with the hassle of carrying it (or a monopod) and setting it up. My view of things is that the simpler the system the more likely you are to use it, and thats how I try and set up my gear, especialy camera...

found this old bulb at my great aunts house It says Atlas 230/250v 50w This is it - not particularly bright. what the hell is it for?

I've been trying out a few lenses recently, as some of you may have noticed. My latest and so far most amazing purchase has been the F2.8 40mm micro Nikkor lens. It arrived a few minutes before I was heading out to visit my parents, so I've been taking a few shots and I'm very impressed. I've...

as title says Im wondering what the 40mm micro lens is like for general photography in comparison to the 35mm? Ive got the 35 and like it but also like macro, which its ok at but Ive heard the micro lenses have a flatter focal field? Id appreciate any advice from someone who has used both or...

Ive used my D5100 with a 50mm 1.8d lens in manual focus no problem. But when I tried it with an extension tube / ring (looks identical to kenko and is marked 36mm N-AF) which has the 8 pin electrical connections - it says lock to smallest aperture largest number, which it is! but still shows an...

Well I tried uploading my pics to the nikonites gallery but it said each image was too big, even though they werent, oh well I cycled about 15 miles to Llanddulas today as it was such a nice day and took some photos with my sigma 10-20mm click for bigger Random well also And my...

macro with 50mm 1.8d Just an hour ago my (used) 1.8d lens arrived and ive just shot a few wasps. Ive ordered some extension rings too so will update the thread when they arrive. These were taken with a +10 close up filter and edited in corel psp X5. I know a proper macro lens would be much...

Pantone Huey Pro Monitor calibration Ive had to list this in dollars for some reason, Im selling to UK buyers only and will only ship in the UK Price is 35 including postage. I purchased this not long ago but found that my monitor was already quite well calibrated so no longer need it. List...

ive had the D60 for about 4 years now and want to upgrade, ive got a fairly low budget as ive just bought a few new lenses, i can part exchange my camera for a D3100 for about £100 My question is, is it a worthwhile upgrade from the D60 to the D3100?

my parents very kindly but also unexpectedly bought me a nissin di622 flash for my D60. I got a few things from a friend who wasnt using them anymore - a ttl off camera cable and a diffuser 'sock'. I understand the benefits of using a fill flash for bright days /dark objects / portraits in...

other than being compressed to jpeg this is unedited, how could I have improved the shot? Im not used to taking wildlife photos, usually just my cat or insects.

Basic camera D60, currently have 35mm f1.8 and 18-105mm lenses Im going to stick with my 35mm for general shooting but would like to change the other one. Generally I dont use much outside of 18-24mm range for scenery and landscapes so was thinking of a wide zoom such as the tokina 12-24mm (II...
