I am looking for a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens or Tamron of same length. Please PM if you have or know of a reasonble priced lens Thanks!

Hi all, I need a lens to capture birds as my primary goal. I have a 55-200mm kit lens but it does not have the reach I need. I have a chance to buy a Nikon 70-300mm VR lens for $250.00 but am concerned that it will not have enough reach. Should I look to something like a 150-600mm lens instead...

I need to replace my cheap Nikon 70-300mm lens. The focus at or around 300mm is so bad it makes it unusable. I am looking at two versions of the Tamron 70-300mm zoom. 1st) Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC Ultra Silent Drive (USD) Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon 2nd) Tamron AF 70-300mm...

I am researching various tripods and would appreciate feedback on a few I have looked at. First, my criteria: 1) Lightweight as I am buying this mostly as a travel tripod 2) Good quality ball head. Pan and tilt handles would be preferred. No creep with D7100 and longer lens (70-300) 3) Center...

Going on a once in a lifetime trip to South America and will be shooting birds, monkeys, etc. and many in low light conditions. I already have a backpack full of stuff and am trying to decide if I "need" a monopod, tripod or should just go handheld. I would appreciate feedback from this...

I read a statement somewhere from a pro photographer that they can spot a newbie a mile away because he/she has all or most of his camera gear with them. A real pro only takes what is needed. Well, as a newbie, I am not sure what I will need at any time so I bring it all in a backpack. Case in...

I am trying to decide on a filter system or individual screw on. I like the filter holder system (Cokin, LEE, hitech) approach for ND filters but am not sure if it's the best approach for CPL's. I have a 52m, 55mm and 62mm lens so again, the filter holder seems most flexible. Buy one adapter...

Ok gang, I have been posting various questions about my upcoming trip to Costa Rica and you all have been great in your responses. I am creating a checklist of what essentials and nice to haves regarding photo gear/support gear I should bring. I would welcome your suggestions and especially from...

Hi all, I am going on a trip to Costa Rica this November and am trying to get myself as ready as possible. I am sure there will be many butterflies and other insects along with flowers to photograph. I am trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and get a dedicated macro lens or if a...

Here is the EXIF info from lightroom. Any feedback is appreciated.

I am using PhotoShop. I saved one of the pix as a jpg in medium size an attached it. How do I see the EXIF meta data.

Received my camera today and could not wait to try it out. Now, I am a newbie with this body (coming from a D40) and have been reading and setting camera functions all day. I took multiple pictures with all three of my current lens and none of them are sharp to me. I am shooting raw, AF-S...

Found this little guy poking his head and body out of a boardwalk in Elk Creek, Colorado. Shot with Nikon D40 and 70-200mm lens. No post done.

I had purchased my Nikon 70 - 300mm f4-5.6D lens a few years ago mainly based on price and range. After more edumacation, I see it is not the best choice. What would you recommend as a replacement that has the equivalent reach and at a price of around $200.00 (if possible). If it has macro all...

Who do you think has the best deals on refurbished D7100's? Adorama seems to have a good price and reputation. Some reviews said that some accessories were missing, like power cords for chargers. Has anyone regretted buying a refurbished Nikon? Why? Thanks

I will be purchasing a D7100 in the next week or so and will be taking a two week trip to Costa Rica this winter. How many batteries would you have on hand and would you go Nikon or are the acceptable alternatives? Thanks

Hi all, I have been plugging along for a few (many) years with my D40 and assorted lenses. I am no pro but will have the chance to travel to Costa Rica later this year and want to be able to get the best results for bird photography and landscape photography. This is a hobby and not a...
