    My best shot from the 55-200mm Vr kit thingie.

    As much as I love my 18-55 I just can't get along with my 55-200 for some reason. When I bought it, I was under the impression that it has the same IQ as the 18-55 but in a telephoto lens. Even my Sigma 70-300 without image stabilization takes better photos, IMHO. Maybe it's just me..I don't...

    Blacktops journey with the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens

    I thought I would create this thread so I can monitor my progress with this lens. This is my first UWA lens so I'm a total noob shooting this focal length. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun shooting with this lens. Comments and pointers are always welcome. Thanks for looking and helping...

    Lens pen help!

    Yea you heard it right. I need help using my lens pen. Pretty frikkin' pathetic if you ask me. The problem is, it is always dry. According to the instructions, after every wipe I'm supposed to push in on the cap to get it moist, but when I do, it does not get moist. It stays dry. Why? I really...

    My Tokina 11-16 Just arrived 1 hour 3 minutes and 12 seconds ago.

    I named it Don Henley.:rolleyes: Stevie Nicks and Don Henley go together like Leather and Lace.:GB_bonesrock: Took some test shots outside the house, and one inside. So far it looks pretty sharp. I can see now that I'm going to have to get used to shooting with a UW lens. The real test will be...

    I need an 18-200mm lens

    I have the 18-55, and the 55-200mm Nikon VR lens. Today was the last straw. I must have changed lenses 7 times in a 2 hour period. :mad: I was looking at the Tamron online earlier. Does anyone have this lens and don't hate it? How bout the Nikon 18-200? Is it worth the extra money?

    A picture is worth a thousand words.

    As some know, I'm selling some of my music gear that I don't use anymore to finance my NAS needs. I sold a Sans Amp PSA-1 just the other day on Reverb.com. There was one other seller with the same item and asking the same price. I sold mine because of the pictures I posted of the item. The...

    Simple question.

    If I get a 35mm AF-S 1.8G lens, will I miss my 50mm 1.8D AF lens?:confused: The only thing I really use the 50mm is for some flower shots, and some indoor stuff chasing Daisy The Rottweiler around with. I can't keep both, so don't suggest it.

    Cleaning stuff needed.

    I've just been wiping off my lenses with a micro fiber cloth, but I have nothing else. I'm going to order a rocket blower today. What else would I need? I noticed some dust spots on my sensor, but not sure if it needs a wet cleaning.

    Sold the D3100 with my favorite lens.

    I sold the D3100 with my 18-55mm kit lens. I sold it locally so there was no shipping involved, just cash on the barrel. I made her a nice deal, she got everything that came with the camera originally, plus an 8Gig Lexar class 10 card and a lens hood. Now I have a problem. My favorite lens in...

    Name Blacktops D300 contest.

    Help me name my new D300, and win something. The only rule is, that it must be a female name, and it can not be Lucille, or Long Tall Sally. Most likely I will pick one of those names anyway just to get out of awarding the made up prize that I really had no intention of honoring.
