My eye sight is not as great as it use to be, so I have been relying on the camera's 'auto-focus' mode for some time. Now I want to venture past this, but cannot find a way that I am use to. I had an old Minolta that had focus rings that I could use and they would align up when the subject was...

I have a quick, and hopefully, easy question ... I plan on taking some pictures of fish / water life from overhead as apposed to underwater. If memory serves me, shooting from on top of the water, you are bound to get 'some type' of a reflection back. I have a UV filter on all of my lenses ...

Good Day to All! I've had my D5200 for just about a year now and I'm loving it. I've also been reading and doing a lot of research on calibrating my lens and my camera together. I understand that once the lens is calibrated using my D5200, the settings will be remembered, so when I switch...

OK .. for those of you who have been ( somewhat ) following my macro quest for the Mrs. ... A few weeks back, I bought her the bronze version of the D5200 with the 18-55mm kit lense and the 55-200mm lens. She like to take close up picks of her babies ( birds, dogs, and fish ) and has been using...

I've been researching on lenses .. 18-105mm vs 18-140mm vs 18-200mm vs 18-300mm .. leaning more towards the 18-140mm ( as noted by my prior posts around ). in my reading, there seems to be a lot of discussion regarding 'barrel roll' or distortion regarding these types of lenses .. "Auto...

Happy New Year to All!!! I recently purchased a new Nikon D5200 ( Bronze ) for the Mrs. Along with it came the usual 18-55mm and I purchased the 55-200mm for her as well. She started playing around, getting some usage tips from me ( not that I'm any good at it ) .. :rolleyes: She has mostly...

Not sure if this is the correct place for this question, but since it deals with my D5200 .. :confused: I went to buy an additional battery for my D5200 today. The specs call for the Nikon EN-EL14. the store did not have any 14's but I was told they do have some 14a's that are compatible...

I have a quick question for all .. Back when I use to shoot 35mm film, I had a 70-210mm lens that I loved. I shot everything with this lens and it .. just about .. never came off the camera! Now that I have the D5200 DSLR camera, I was looking for a different lens from the one that came with...

Afternoon to All! I am not sure if this is the correct area for this question, so please forgive me if it is not .. With x-mas coming up, the mrs. wants to get me something for my 'photo sessions' without spending a lot of $$$ I have been eye'ing this remote timer from B&H .. Vello...

A few days back, I came across an article that had both the Nikon 50mm and 85mm for sale and at the same cost. The author compared the two and also made a suggestion. The author stated that though the 50mm is a good prime lens, he recommended the 85mm and a 35mm. The 85mm for telephoto and the...

I've searched the forum, to the best of my ability, and I have not found any postings regarding these new 'Wi-Fi SD cards'. It seems that these 'Wi-Fi SD Cards' have been getting a lot of publicity lately. I've been reading a lot of different articles on them and was wondering what the...

I happen to come across this article that emphases my beliefs on photography. I know that a lot will argue with me :moody: .. but this is only my take on this hobby; which I thoroughly enjoy from top to bottom!!!! Photo Editing is No Substitute for Photography Technique...

Hello All!!! Not sure where this question would go .. there is not a [Miscellaneous] section .. Last week, back on Wednesday the 18th, I came across an article regarding a Nikon DSLR update .. "Nikon Distortion Control Data". I tried to post the URL for the update, but the site does not...

Hello to All! Let me begin by saying that I’m not new to photography, but I am new to this forum and Nikon DSLRs. About me .. I started out a long time ago .. back in 1987 with a Minolta X-700 MPS and a Kiron 70-210mm lens. How I loved that 70/210. That lens hardly ever came of the...
