    Buying used lenses

    Aside from looking for the obvious like dust, fungus, haze, scratches, is there anything else to be looking for when buying a used lens. I've seen a lens which looks (body wise) in good condition, and the seller has said its missing all the above factors, so that's definitely good...

    Change vote/rating on thread

    Is it possible, or would it be possible to make the changing of thread vote/rating allowed? Currently, once you vote on a thread, that 'star' level remains fixed for you and you cannot change it. I for one have found a few threads that are not so useful when they first appeared... but a few...

    Cleaning a lens internally

    Anyone know a good way to clean a lens inside, or even somewhere cheap (in UK) that can do it. I have an old Makinon 28-80mm F/3.5-4.5 which looks like its got some fog/fungus on one (or more) of the elements inside. I'm tempted to open it up but I've never dismantled a lens before so not sure...

    Lightroom 4 User Guide (free from Adobe)

    Whilst looking for a Lightroom 4 guide, I came across an older post (http://nikonites.com/computers-software/841-lightroom-3-user-guide-free-adobe.html) which made reference to the free pdf from Adobe for LR3 which is quite useful. However, as we're on v4 now, thought I'd share the direct link...

    Arrange pictures by lens model?

    Anyone know a quick and easy way to search pictures by lens model and/or focus length I want to organise my pictures by the lens I shot them with. Windows explorer lets you add a 'focal length' column so it's kind of easy to sort out which pics I took with my 18-55mm & 55-200mm lens (anything...

    Body rotation

    Just out of curiousity, please vote on whether you rotate your camera body clockwise or anti clockwise when taking portrait orientation shots without the need for a flash. If there's any particular direction you use for a reason then feel free to share your reasons, otherwise like I said, just...

    JPEG to RAW image count

    I'm shooting in JPEG only at the moment, but am thinking of making the switch to RAW at some point soon. I might even go the RAW+JPEG as an intermediate step before going full RAW, as storage space isn't a huge issue for me currently. My question is though... if I switch from JPEG to RAW+JPEG...

    Picture count problems

    Not sure how to explain this but I'll try; I've had my D5100 'File Number Sequence' set to on, and it was saving images to the 100D5100 folder (default) with sequential numbers. Recently took mem card out to copy pics to PC and on inserting card again, it started saving pics to 101D5100 and at...

    Nikon 55-200 vs Sigma 50-200

    I'm after a tele lens to partner the 'kit' 18-55 on the D5100. Basically torn between the; Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Sigma 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DC OS HSM I've tried both, and both are appealing to me - just don't know which one would be better. I'm after something that I...

    D5100 Shopping List

    Decided to go the Nikon route (much deliberation between Nikon & Canon), and finally the D5100 (over the D7000). I'm looking to get the standard 'kit' (body & 18-55mm lens), but also wanted opinions on a couple of other extras; 1) Nikon 50mm 1.8G AF-S or the Nikon 35mm 1.8G AF-S Going to be...
