It is nice to have your wife support you like that. That is exactly what my wife Pat did when that deal for the referb D7200 one day sale last December was announced. Congratulations!

For my Fuji X100T
Vented 49mm Hood
Konica X24 Flash (was hoping it work on my Nikon FM2n, but the back 2 contact pins made the hot-shoe fit TOO TIGHT)
...But, it works fine on my Fuji X100T. Go figure?

Retired my Tammy 200-400 and Nikon Corp. get's my tax refund this year in exchange for this 200-500 F5.6.
Just learning to shoot with it - twice the lens of my old Tammy (and 5 times the price).
Even the filter came in at $200 (I got the Nikon one - which turned out the be the lowest priced one in these parts).
Had an old hard body case (in the background in the image) that holds it just ticky boo - can even put the lens with camera attached to it.
I didn't get the T.C. - yet. Anyone shooting this lens with a D610? I've looked and for a few hundred more than the TC I can get a refurbished 7100 which is probably a better option to go to 750 vs the 1.4 TC and I keep the 5.6 speed. And get another body to play with.
Still learning to use this lens - took it for a walk about the neighbourhood today and accidentally got a BIF -when shooting the only birds I saw - some sparrows in their bird-condo. This shot is cropped a lot.

For anyone who is interested, Amazon has Photoshop Elements 14 on sale today only for $49.99. (Sorry to post this here, but it takes forever for threads to be approved in the Deals subforum).

I bought a refurbished D5300 from Adorama with the kit lens for $449. I thought it was a pretty good price. It only has a little over 200 actuations on it, and is very clean.
I miss the D610 that I had to sell, but I am hopelessly hooked on having a decent camera.
I know the GPS is not supposed to be accurate, but I'll see. That, the pivoting display (I really missed that while shooting pictures of the moon with the D610) and the affordable price had me hooked. And the FX telephotos that I did not sell are now that much more powerful.
I enjoyed having the built-in focus motor, and the 2nd control dial, but for my level of expertise (low), I will do OK.
The 610 was real heavy, compared to the D5200 that I started with, and gave to my step-son for Christmas. I don't mind that "mistake", it put a HUGE smile on his face!
I considered getting just a D5300 body for less than $400, but I wasn't sure when I would be able to come up with the money for the 35mm lens. At least this way, I can take pictures.
I'm just glad to be back.

For the GPS to work to it's fullest capabilities, you need to update the GPS software every month or so. I have only used the GPS on the camera a few times, but it worked OK. If you do a search on the D5300 subforum here, there is a link to where to get the GPS file update from Nikon and how to install it.
Already done! Ha! (
)edit: Now I just have to figure out how to use the data to my advantage.
I know my first experience with a GPSr (geocaching) was VERY rough!
But I really liked geotagging photos on Pbase, which is what got me hooked on the concept. I just didn't want a big piece of gear on my hotshoe.

I bought eight Eneloop Pro's over the weekend.
Do I need a fancy OEM charger like the one pictured or will my regular AA charger work?
