    Matrix Metering Issue? Maybe?

    Ok I am confused here. Scenerio..... Tripod Mounted aimed at a target in A Mode set to 1.4 or 1.8(I tried 2 different lenses). When I focus in viewfinder in matrix metering I would sit at 1/60th and when I switched to liveview it would drop to 1/30th and slightly overexpose.... This only...

    Sigma 35 1.4 Art Series

    Well I did it.... I wanted a 2 prime walk around kit for street/random portrait/landscapes. I am no pro and this is purely a hobby. I truly enjoy taking pictures so I want the gear I use to fit my style. I originally bought the 85 and 50 1.8g lenses. I quickly realized the on my D600 the 85...

    shooting wide open on d600

    Well I am new and trying to learn(hence the reason I am on this site). So I have a question. I think I got a lot of the basics covered. Have been shooting in manual mode for quite some time but I find one thing a little tricky. I am trying to get some creative shots wide open with my two 1.8...

    "85mm" - 200 help

    The situation. I guess I would be considered a hobbyist. I have been doing a lot of infant/toddler shots up to about 6-7 year olds for family and friends. I have been using the 85mm 1.8g and love it dearly but I feel like I have been handy capping myself with the prime. Some shots are requiring...

    Thoughts - Random Tamron 70-300

    I have been toying around with the tamron 70-300 last few weeks just getting a few for it and was just looking for some opinions on a few shots I took. To my amateur eye the lens seems to be performing well enough for the cheap price! This shot was early in the AM. I am about 1000 feet about...

    Thoughts?

    Shot this exposure by accident and really liked the way it ended up. Downloaded from my FB page so hopefully it still looks decent.

    nikkor 50 f/1.8g

    What's the deal with this lens being continually out of stock? Did Nikon realize it was priced to low and leaving them off the market to sell 1.4s. Anyone know any information on release? I really needed one of them but considering the 1.4 or the 85 1.8. Thanks

    Adorama & D600 dust

    I have been debating on upgrading from the d5100 but this dust problem has me worried! However, just last week the 'sales rep' for adorama insisted this new most recent shipment from Nikon had the dust problem corrected. Any truth to this that anyone knows?
