[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 398930, member: 21543"] relax @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-14707-slipperman.html"]Slipperman[/URL]....in defense of @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-9240-backdoorhippie.html"]BackdoorHippie[/URL]...not that he needs my defense....he knows more about photography and the how too's and why not's than all of us combined. You will learn a lot if you humble yourself a tad bit and listen to him. I have been somewhat blasted by him on occasion, but he knows his stuff. I take it in stride. He is here not to promote himself or demean others. If nothing else, he is here to show his work, and to teach us how to achieve some pretty fantastic images. I'm sure you two just got off to a rocky start. I think you should just see what you can learn and hang around a while. Don't be afraid to read what he and others here post. Unless YOU'RE NOT here to learn and grow as a photographer. I bought over my head a few times, and some may say I have done it again. I had the D610, and a D7100.....I then went out and spent a fortune on used Holy Trinity of zooms. I had the best lenses for a professional so they say. I had the 14-24 f/2.8, the 24-70 f/2.8, and the 70-200 f.2.8 vr II. They are considered the best zoom lenses. The downside, if there is one, is they cost nearly $1500.00 a piece or more brand new. Like I said, I bought used, and so I didn't take that big of a hit when I sold mine. I decided I wanted a smaller footprint system like the full frame Sony. Sony makes a lot of the sensors for Nikon, so I am on the right trail. I like to travel, and if you've ever held in your hands the Holy Trinity, you will know they are massively heavy and bulky, especially the lens I love the most, the 14-24. There are some here, and myself included, who more than respect what BackdoorHippie has to say. His brother is a professional photographer, who used to, or presently works for a newspaper. He has the background, and the knowledge if you'll listen to him. Here's to you getting along with all of us. I know you can do it. If not, well, I tried. [/QUOTE]
