    Nikon Nikkor AF 80-200 mm F/2.8 ED A/M Lens...

    the ED and D ED are almost completely the same but the D have the distance chip which told the camera the distance it was focused on which helped the flash for better exposure. many have said they didnt see any benefit to the D. I didnt see a big benefit with or without D on any lens I owned...

    Best editor software to learn on?

    sorry but no. acdsee pro is way easier. clean interface. not tons of tiny little check squares and icons all over. hands down the easiest interface to understand and use and its faster to edit bulk pictures. LR sliders are very tiny thin lines and acdsee pro has bars where you can place the...

    pros cons of the D750

    CON only 20 minutes recording-30 would be better. 51 AF area is still bunched up in the same area as before grip is insanely expensive at $370. so this by itself is why im waiting for a 3rd party mfr to make one. I cant shoot a wedding without a grip. PRO Af system with -3ev capability, new...

    yea Dave SWM parts are very scarce and prices jumped even just the last year. all are being directed to go to nikon japan. and the squeak does affect the performance. I remember when I was shooting weddings and it would work intermittently and at one wedding when I was on the dance floor, it...

    Speedlight choice

    Sb800 is a fantastic flash . if I was low on money, thats what id get. I still consider it a flagship flash in every way. if nikon puts out new products it doesnt make there older gear irrelevant. it will do HSS and can also be used as a commander flash or as a remote off camera flash. very...

    just curious. when I bought my D600 it had something like 120 clicks and my guess is it was a store return. I cant prove it though. I bought mack vip warranty and I needed the camera pronto so had to suck it up but I was pissed when I found out. someone told me that its possible to get that...

    Another So-Called Professional Photographer

    1-dude whats the problem. you didnt have to shoot straight on and the same angle as her. heres a tip. take the 70-200, go far back, get them from a 45º angle from either side of them standing together. half body or even full body from far away (5.6-8 is good) convert to BW and bam. a different...
