Yes, I have the VC version. I very much like it. I haven't had too much of an opportunity to really use it but did capture this image of my wife last month at Schönbrunn. The build quality, like the 24-70/2.8 VC is stellar.

Snowing today in Philadelphia. This is right outside my front door.

Back from my trip and I have to say this solution worked brilliantly. This approach greatly simplifies using multiple cameras as well. Very glad I made the change. Here are a couple interesting screenshots that may be useful for those still on the fence. This is from one day in Bratislava. View...

I use an image of the Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad) in the Czech Republic at night on my personal website. Tonight I captured the Bratislava Castle (Bratislavský Hrad) in Slovakia. Growing up in what was then the "Czechoslovak" neighborhood of Chicago, both are special places to me. (Loving my...

A couple from tonight in Bratislava using the 10-100mm and 6.7-13mm.

Some more from last night in Vienna - I was driving the V2 this time with the primes (10mm/2.8, 18.5mm/1.8 and 32mm/1.2).

My wife was using my V2 and I had the D800. A few from tonight at the Wiener Christkindlmarkt am Rathausplatz.

Looks like we might have a theme going on. From Slickdeals: Best Buy and Amazon are selling the Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW for US$34.99 down from $119.99. This appears to be a clearance sale.

Over the years, I have used many different GPS devices with my cameras. (You can see the evolution here.) My wife and I are leaving in a couple days for a quick trip to Europe. I'm going to try a new approach to Geotagging which I'll discuss below. She is going to use my V2 and 10-100mm...

Should be an interesting Saturday. . .

Wow! This video does my hometown proud. http://vimeo.com/109354891

I realize that camera bags are like crack to most photographers, so in order to be an "enabler" to our addiction may I present the following: From Slickdeals: Best Buy and Amazon are selling the Lowepro SlingShot 102 AW for US$31.99 down from $79.99. This appears to be a clearance sale.

I recently learned that Vello has fully automatic extension tubes for the Nikon 1 bodies that are able to communicate electronic functions from lens to camera including autofocus and auto exposure. I haven't tried them myself, but a very encouraging review has been posted on PhotographyLife...

I had a scheduled search in eBay for a 1 Nikkor 32mm f/1.2. Last week I discovered a short auction on one out of Quebec. Thanks to Gixen I sniped the auction with a single bid with only .04 seconds remaining. The best part is that I was able to acquire my copy for a bit over half of US list...

I had long given up thoughts of owning the 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 due to the cost: US$899. I had a search on eBay and stumbled on a short auction at a low price out of Quebec and. . . it arrived an hour ago. Not one to delay NAS-related satisfaction, I immediately mounted it on my V2 and took a...

Hockey is notoriously difficult to shoot due to the reflection of the ice. White balance is always a challenge. I shot these through the safety net with my V2 and 10-100mm (non-PD). Ran them through Color Efex to remove a slight yellow cast. The face-off is a crop of approximately 70% of the...

This will make us blush at a paltry Project 365!!!

Rain out in Philly. Our walk was scheduled from 7 am - 9 am and it is raining hard here. No chance of catching the sunrise. Bummer. :(

If you are considering a mirrorless camera, Thomas Stirr has a blog post about a recent trip he took to Greece. On the trip he utilized a V2 and pretty tricked out kit. It is a great read because he describes in detail how he addressed specific situations and any limitations. His results were...

You might want to check out this thread on the Tamron 16-300. The Tamron site is pretty informative. There is a rebate until the end of October in the US - not sure if there is something similar in the UK.
