    D4 Reaction

    I have briefly reviewed the specs for the new D4 and am wondering what market Nikon is attempting to meet (and why). I would certainly purchase a D3x over the D4 given the choice. My transition to hybrid cameras is apparently well behind the curve. I currently shoot with a D700 (primary) and am...

    D700 Seeking ideas on contrast correction

    Although I've been shooting for many years I continually run into to new challenges. This time I could not avoid shooting in a heavily shaded area, with bright mid-day sun in the background. I really didn't think too much about it during the shoot, but in processing the images, the background...

    AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm VR 3.5-5.6G ED VR

    Just picked up this lens earlier this afternoon and have taken a few 'hand held' shots at the different focal lengths .... My first reaction is very positive but the lens does differ a little from the 70 - 200 mm VR1 that I just sold. So far, I'm happy (after a dozen shots) but will take into...

    Actuation Count

    I'm attempting to sell my D200 on eBay and have been asked several times what the actuation count is. Not a clue, and not a clue where to find the info. Can anyone help? I haven't paid too much attention to this, but apparently it's important to a few potential buyers. Please advise.:confused:

    TC20E II 2X Teleconverter Compatability

    I'm considering purchasing the new 28 - 300mm VR f3.5 lens that Nikon will release in early September. Since I have recently purchased a TC20E II X2 Teleconverter for use with my 70 -200 VR f2.8 I need to know if it will be compatible with the new lens. I have reviewed the release notices, and...

    Telephoto AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 IF Autofocus lens

    I've been waiting for the introduction of Nikon's new 85mm f1.4 lens to be released. Finally found it on the B & H site .... that's the good news! The bad news is that I will have to earn a few gazillion dollars to pay for it. The list for the imported version is $1074.95 (USD) and the USA...

    Nikonite Upload problems

    I've tried several times now to upload additional images into my gallery, but I keep getting the message that I am not allowed, authorized, etc. WTH?:confused: Also, if I am in 'forum' and respond to a question, the system comes back and tells me that I'm not logged in ... This too is very...

    FX vs DX lenses

    I can't find the answer to my questions on the Nikon site, or maybe just don't know how to phase the questions and may need your help. Here goes: Q. Is there/are there Nikon lenses devoted strictly to the FX Format cameras. I was told at one time to find "old" 35mm film lenses and shoot...

    Aperture 3 comments

    Okay .. let's kick this mutha off. I am a MAC guy and use Aperture 3 for storage, cropping, and minor adjustments. From Aperture 3, I have to export to Photoshop Elements for resizing, airbrush, background/layering change, etc. PhotoShop for MAC doesn't recognize NEF (Nikon RAW) so all files...

    Don't forget the versatility of a Tele-Converter

    I had made a major investment in the purchase of an 80-400 mm lens a couple of years ago only to find that the lens would not properly focus - verified not to be a 'user error' by the local Nikon rep. I have since retired the lens and have exiled it to a lonely shelf in the cabinet. Having...
