    How much dust is too much ?

    I picked up an 80-400mm VR on ebay and got it in today. I knew there was going to be dust inside the lens becaue being a huge zoom it has got to be a dust sucker and even in the description on ebay it said it had dust inside. However, its got quite a bit of dust inside the front part of the...

    Bought two YN568 EX

    I wanted to start learning to control flash and specifically off-camera flash so I just pulled the trigger on a couples books on amazon and bought two YN568EX flashes off of ebay. I believe without mastering the use of mutliple flashes then part of the whole advantage of DSLR still has over...

    Aurora

    It was f2.8 , ISO 800, 10seconds exposure, lens set at 11mm and manual set focus to infinity. This is one I took right before, only 15 seconds exposure time. You can also see some red lights from other people's cameras on the tripod...

Yesterday was forecast the same , 8.5/10 on the aurora activity level, and I haven't seen it that high since I have lived here for about 3 years now. Usually its 5-6.5. Anyway last night was cloudy otherwise I would have gone out and waited...

    Ratio of primes to zooms

    How many primes and how many zooms do you have? I have 8 primes and 6 zooms but, and 1 prime incoming a 28mm/1.8G and 1 zoom going out. I have been using primes on the Df including a lot of older AI-s manual focus primes. The longer zooms are really harder to focus in wide open aperture. I...

    Post your latest purchases.

    This came in today :D Also got a Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f2 manual focus lens. Have just been playing around with it in the house this evening and setting up the camera how I like it. Just in my initial testing around the house the Voigtlander is a bit sharper and has better contrast wide...

    Nikon 85mm/1.8G - No Longer Available

    Nikon 85mm/1.8G Picked up in exchange for another lens at a Canadian AD. I've only used it once and its been sitting in the box for a year. I'm more of a travel and landscape photographer rather than portrait photographer. If your thinking about getting into portraits this lens is a must...

    Nikon 16-85mm VR - No Longer Available

    Nikon 16-85mm VR This lens has complimented my 70-300mm VR on my D7100 for awhile but I have realized in the past couple trips I've taken that for a walkaround, all- purpose lens I need the longer focal lengths more than I use the 16mm range. Therefore, I'm selling this and getting the 18-140mm...

    Nikon 17-55mm/2.8 - SOLD

    Nikon 17-55mm/2.8 I received this about a month ago. I wanted to try a pro lens and this is a very nice lens, however for my shooting I find I leave the 16-85mm VR better. The 17-55mm has legendary build quality, but that comes at a big price in terms of size and weight and I find I need the...

    FS: Tamron 18-270mm/f3.5-6.3 VC PZD - No Longer Available

    FS: Tamron 18-270mm/f3.5-6.3 VC PZD Just got it last week as an all around walk-around lens for the D5100 (when I can't take the full camera bag) or as a second camera for my wife to use as well. But after my experience with the Sigma lens last week I've decided to stick with Nikon glass unless...

    FS: Nikon 55-300mm /f4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX I've only used this lens twice. It is as about as new as you can get without actually being new! Comes with the complete set, boxes, manuals, warranty papers. Also included is a 58mm Tiffen UV filter. I just got the 70-300mm VR so obviously don't need...

    Nikon D5100 incoming!

    My Nikon D5100 I ordered from adorama last week is on the way! It was a toss up between D5100 and D7000 in the end I got the D5100 and a few more lenses. I figure if I really enjoy this hobby I can upgrade to the D7100 in a year or so and the D5100 might be a bit easier for a complete newbie...
