I also had the 50mm D and the 105 macro when I purchased  the D600. Couldnt decide what to do.   So, I rented a 18-70, plus  the  kit  lense, and a 24-120. Cost over $170.00 US in rental...

@f/4 and smaller apertures they are identical.

I use a Nikon 105mm on my d-600 and a 100mm Tokina on my d5100. Also a $30,00 LED Ringlight  from B&H photo and a sturdy stipod and ball head.

I agree with 8735. I recently rented a 70-300vr. It was usuable at f/11  . Not at f/5.6 You dont need 24mp to do a 16X20. I had rather have a sharp 200mm and crop than a fuzzy 300mm.   my 2 cents.

I'm glad you got some answers. I've wondered the same thing for a couple of years.

I am wondering if the D-600 I m about to purchase will produce an improvement in  image quality from my D-5100 that compares with moving up from 35 mm film to 645 format in 120 film?  Now that was...

I am very happy you posted this! I've been using a 105 VR for about a week now and have the same problem. I thought I had bought a defective lens. It was never a huge deal because I prefer to...

My only experience with a non-Nikon is the Tokina 100mm Macro. I own it and the Nikkor 105VR.   The Tokina is lighter and  everybit as sharp as the Nikon when viewed at 100%, and half the price......

Thanks.  for all the replies.

will tell me in a nutshell what it can do that PSE cannot do. I have PSE 6 and I dont want to buy anything else if I dont really need it.   Maybe there is an old thread I cant find that will tell...

I have been  shooting wildflowers for  40 years. I have used ext tubes in medium format and 35 mm.    I'll tell you why NOT to get them:  Subjects have to be at an exact distance from your camera ...

If you are an amatuer shooting  street scenes, store fronts, farm   animals and activities in a small town , and some times printing them 13'' X 19'',  would you be happy with the 24-85 lense...

I use Precision Color Inks in OEM carts. I cant tell the difference .

I am tired of doiing it manually.

Thank you. That thread is what I  was looking for.

I want to learn to refill my carts. I've watched U Tube instructions and there are no two exactly alike  methods. Each video  seems to leave out something or add something that  leaves questions...

Set the camera/lense on auto focus. Look 90 degrees from the direction of your subject,  quietly press the shutter , scratch your butt,   and wander off down the street. I do this often.

If black and white print quality is the only criteria, would you purchase the Epson 2880 or the Pixma Pro-100.  I have never seen a print from either machine.
