My wife and I recently got a D500 each to pair with our Tamron 150-600 G1 lenses. My main hope was for an autofocus system that was consistent and accurate. 10 FPS is nice but not a big consideration for me so far as it's not how I tend to shoot. Perhaps that will change with BIF shots. I...

It's been expensive over the last 6 weeks. I've retired and bought a D500 each for my wife and I and a DJI Mavic pro drone. It should all keep us busy. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Specifically thanks Jake ( @BackdoorHippie ) and Pete ( @Blacktop ) as you both confirmed my thinking that it is not a completely crazy approach to take. As we have just moved to a different part of the UK and will have a bit more time on our hands...

I currently have a D800, D7100 and Fuji X100T. My Nikon lenses are all FX, including, 105 Macro, 50mm 1.8, 70-200 F2.8, 24-120 F4, 16-35 F4, Tamron 150-600. I rarely print, albeit I would like to start hanging a few on the walls over the coming years if they are worthy. I am currently thinking...

@BackdoorHippie, I think I found the answer with somebody doing a real world test in this forum. The answer is that it worked fine on the Tamron 150-600 so I imagine the Sigma would be the same.

This is a good reason for me to get this given the time it takes to fine tune manually. Just a pity it doesn't work at both ends of the lens.

My wife and I are just coming to the end of our holiday and we both only brought mirrorless compacts of sorts. I just brought my Fuji X100T and she brought her new RX100M3. We got the Sony a couple of weeks ago for her birthday as an alternative to DSLRs for travel. I went for the M3 rather...

A few photos from this weekend with the Tamron on my D7100. Overall I was quite please with the results. I believe this includes the last ever Vulcan / Red Arrows formation flypast.

My wife has said that she would like a decent compact for her birthday in a couple of weeks. On the plus side this means I haven't got to try and think what she might want, but I'm not sure which camera to get. She currently has a D7100 with everything from a 10.5 fisheye to the Tamron 150-600...

Firstly, I don't want to start a debate about pros and cons of filters as it's been done many times on many forums. I personally have clear protection filters on all my lenses except the Tamron 150-600, however I have often thought about what value they actually offer and what if any problems...

I'm off to Mallorca at the weekend for a week with my wife and mother for what will probably be a fairly relaxed affair with no agenda, particularly not around photography. I'm trying to decide whether to take a minimalist kit of my D800, 24-120, 105 Macro and Fuji X100T, or just take the X100T...

Happy with my 800. I don't use it enough at the moment, but I can't see a reason to change it as it does more than I can. This is a selfie I did with mine the other night. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I haven't used my D800 for a while or played with the lights, so in the absence of something interesting to shoot I decided to do a selfie to update the intranet page at work. I setup the D800 and 70-200 2.8 on a tripod and manually focused on a light stand placed where I would be sitting. I...

I normally have my D800 or 7100 with the Tamron 150-600 or such like attached which I'm convinced looks good, however my grown up daughter thinks I'm a geek with it. Today we went out for a walk and I took my new Fuji X100T with me. At one point I got it out off the bag and passed it to her to...

I've been mulling over a few cameras to get for my birthday in Feb. I wanted something I could take anywhere and wasn't as bulky or intrusive as a DSLR but produced the same image quality. I've previously been disappointed by both the Nikon P7100 and the Panasonic TZ cameras to the point that I...

This question is not about the merits of protective UV/clear filters or not as I already put them on all my lenses, that is except for this one. My wife and I got one each and they are fantastic, however, given the size of the hood I decided I don't need more protection except maybe if I was...

I was a D300 fan for a long time, but I wanted less noise when I turned the ISO up. If you have plenty of light or don't need fast shutter speeds that's not an issue. When I upgraded I went FX with the D800 because I didn't feel that the next level of DX ISO performance was there at the time...

I'm hoping to get a Fuji X100T next month, which gave me cause to look in my old camera bag for one of those screw in cable releases which I knew I had in there. This resulted in me also taking out my Pentax ME Super and Nikon F601 (N6006) which I have not used in a long time (Well over ten...

We spent 3 weeks in the US earlier this year and I wanted to take one of those long roads vanishing into the distance for my son. Whilst I did see many longer vanishing into the distance roads, this one in Death Valley is a favourite as the 30mph twisty road warning sign just makes me chuckle...

@J-see I have now tested. The full size images are here. My testing involved a tripod, Nikkor 105mm Macro for both tests, a D7100 and a D800. Both set to Live view to aid focussing which is the same as mirror up and both support that also. Both cameras are set to F8 for a better DOF, 1/3 sec...
