    Noisy lens

    Afternoon all, Just to ask, if any of you 55-200mm VR users have noticed how noisy your lens is when focusing? I was using it the other day in the silence of my house (rare thing), and couldn't help but notice just how noisy it was. I appreciate it has a motor in it, but even then, seemed more...

In terms of our beloved hobby here on Nikonites, the results of all our zooms, focusing, lighting, etc etc, what is the end result: A photograph (or photo) An image A picture (or...

    28mm f/1.8G and 35mm f/1.8G??

    As some of you know from some other posts, I'm hoping to pick up a 28mm f/1.8G early March, as I think it'll compliment my current lens line up quite well. It was a tough choice as I was contemplating the 35mm f/1.8G for a long time, and prices had just come down to £~145 (plus £20 cashback...

    Lens Specifications and Measurements

    PAL or NTSC? Does it matter??

    Never given it much thought until recently. The UK uses PAL, whereas places like the USA use NTSC. With today's PC monitors and HD TVs, does it really matter which we chose, as they all play both formats? I ask because I recorded a very small video of my son's nativity, and when I got home...

    Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AIS

    Hoping to maybe pick up this old lens for <$75, but just wondering what it might be like coupled with my D5100. I understand, it'll be manual all the way, no metering either, and can only be used in M mode on the camera. Anyone have any views on this lens?

    Sticky overload!!

    Just noticed the number of sticky's in the D5100 forum increase. Curious as to whether the 'D5100 vs xxxxx' stickies are actually worthy of being made sticky there, and could they not be more suitably placed in a 'Sticky' sub category, where other comparison threads could be moved to as well...

    Sb-700 & sb-400

    Been looking at possibly getting the SB-700 for my camera, as I often find myself needing to bounce light off (eg. off the ceiling) and my SB-400 not being able to do so when held in portrait (though I don't think that's the only reason to upgrade it!!) a) should I keep the SB-400, or flog it...
