[QUOTE="Powerstroke2000, post: 504705, member: 40972"] Have to agree with you whole heartedly! You pay big $$ just for the Nikon name (as I did on my recent D750) and as a hobbiest, I don't necessarily need to quality a Pro needs, as my photos are for my own enjoyment, not to make $$. With that said, Nikon makes quality products, but many other 3rd parties now make quality that will definitely work for 'my' needs as well. I'm currently looking for a couple of lenses, and the two I like happen to be Nikon, but the price is 'way' out of my range, so I'll have to work my research, to see what else is available. I want a 14 - 24mm Nikon wide angle, and a 70 - 200mm VR SWM, but for my needs the pricing is truly pie in the sky...for my needs. I am just now looking for a flash, and after reading 'many' reviews, find the YN568 EX Yongnuo will be my choice. Picked up a used Crumpler 6 million bag, and will soon be looking for a capable tripod, as my current aluminum model works, but is quite heavy. I'm thankful Nikon has VR, and hope one day I can afford one of the used versions, as I have ET (essential tremor) so hand holding the camera is a chore for me. Will have to continue on with my current two Sigma lenses, and work up from there! [/QUOTE]
