    Nikon falling behind with fisheye lenses?

    Hello all, Is it only me or is Nikon falling behind with fisheye lenses? Not only canon can use our lenses (ie. 14-24mm) but they came out with a 8-15 f/4 fisheye zoom and the 14mm f/2.8. From what i saw on Nikon site there's only the 16mm f/2.8 ( i do use a full-frame body). What else is...

    80-200mm f/2.8 still a fine piece of glass?

    Hello, I'm not very rich and i was wondering if the 80-200mm f/2.8 is still considered a good lens by today's standards? I mean before the 70-200 they were in every pros bag weren't they? Or should i just save the extra grand and go for the 70-200mm (is VR worth 1000$), frankly i think i'd...

    Standing guard...

    Remains from an old 1840 wooden house that was the victim of arson 2 years ago :-( All that's left is that nice and lonely chimney and the ruins of the stone house (not seen on that picture). I have a whole set of photos from that site.

    Name on photos...

    Hello all, i see some shots from time to time with the name of the photographer in tiny characters at the bottom or any other text from that matter. It's not like a watermark all across. Anyone know how to create such text? Can it be done with LR3? Thanks. Ron

    Problem with file size.

    Hello, been tinkering with RAW and Lightroom 3, and i save the final result in JPEG. However that results in large files like 15MB and 17MB or so and everyplace i try to upload photos, including Nikonites Photo Critique (part of the forum) and Flickr (has a 10MB limit), the file ends up being...

    How do we set up a custom file numbering system.

    Hi, been reading the user guide and can't seem to find anything about this. Basically i need to have my photos files to be the date then a sequencial number right from the camera, ie: 2010_11_07_1. Is that even possible? And it it possible for the it to keep doing that even after a card...

    Which AA battery are you using?

    So far i've been using Energizers L91 Lithium $2 dollars each... Now i feel like making the jump to rechargeables, which ones would you recommend for heavy use as well as extreme weather. (mainly cold) Any opinions and anecdotes are welcome! NOTE: Using a D700 with Motor drive.

    Nikon don't like FX Wide-angle users ???

    I know I'm just venting but... But I'm not rich, having just bought a D700 (got a great deal) and now I'm looking for an extreme wide angle zoom (not fisheye) to go with it. Since i shoot a lot of landscapes. Of course i cannot afford the 14-24mm f/2.8 IF ED $1750, so what does that leave me...

    D7000 vs D700

    Great after a long wait the D7000 is finally here, but as many others i thought it would be an updated D700 but it isn't. So now i hesitate in buying it and going after the D700 after all that waiting anyways. Correct me if i'm wrong but yes the 7K has more effective pixels but as we know...
