[QUOTE="hark, post: 592452, member: 13196"] Andrew, take a look at this thread with an example of a church photo. [URL]http://nikonites.com/post-processing/34429-please-show-me-nik-define.html#axzz4QyY07oGq[/URL] The photo in that thread was taken with my D7100. I was asking for info on Nik Dfine from the Nik Collection. I will post a Dropbox link to the DNG after I edited the photo but before I used Nik Dfine. It's the same file I made available for download in that other thread. If your computer can read DNG, you can download that here: [URL]https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zy6uyyo7ewu0h2/065.dng?dl=0[/URL] In that thread, Horoscope Fish supplied me with a TIFF of that image after he applied Nik Dfine. He only used the auto setting so he didn't do any spot noise reduction. You can download that file here: [URL]https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dyzh0kfj1g9l97/065_noiseless.tiff?dl=0[/URL] There is a noticeable improvement! The Nik Collection is now free so if you don't yet have it, you should consider getting it. The comparison of these files will give you an idea of possible noise you may encounter although the D7200 should have some improvement when it comes to noise. As for FX lenses, my 24-70mm f/2.8 is made by Sigma. My copy is very good, and I am extremely happy with its capabilities. I tested 3 of these lenses, and this one was sharper than the other two.

In my Sanctuary photos, I tend to shoot with a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, but it is expensive. Tamron makes a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens that is highly rated. There are also used Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 lenses out there but they lack VR. If you will be using a tripod, you won't need VR.
