    Nikon NY Repair Center

    Honestly I'm not ready to send my lens to Nikon just yet. Having sent my D600 back 3x for the oil spot problem (and wound up getting a refund for the body), sending in a lens for a problem that was repaired but came back with a huge dust bunny inside the rear element causing the lens to go back...

With a sale price of $379 (for a constant f/4 aperture), it might be more affordable than the Nikon version especially during these trying times of COVID. Please be sure to search for...

    Nikon NY Repair Center

    Has anyone used the Nikon repair center in New York within the past few months? My 300mm f/4 PF has an AF problem as well as a VR issue and needs to be assessed/repaired. In the meantime, I've been using my 300mm f/4 non-VR lens, but it too is having AF issues (AF is loud/grinding and sometimes...

    Hark 2020

    Yesterday while photographing this scarecrow, an older couple stopped to talk. The man carried a Nikon D810 with a MagSphere on an attached flash. He mentioned seeing a thin bird house with a really small hole and said a hawk was sitting on top. I knew he meant one of the bat houses (made by a...

    focusing ALL product image?
