dpr://galleries/2928690666/albums/utah-trip-for-solar-eclipse Set up at Cedar Breaks which is elevation 10,200' and very is close to the central path in Utah. Used a D800 with the Nikon...

Yes, it looks like it is on a path from Mt. Zion to Kayenta (and Momument Valley). Actually somewhat closer to my home city of Las Vegas than Salt Lake City where we are planning to fly...

Yes, I saw that map also. We are actually planning to be in Canyonlands National Park which is about 60 miles closer and may be just inside the total eclipse zone. We chose that based on...

Answered my own question with a simple google search on solar eclipse photogaphy. An ND400 filter is required for partial phases of the eclipse (8.5 stops). Focal length in the range of...

All, I'm heading out to Moab this weekend for the eclipse. Since I'm flying standby, I want to minimize my carry-on luggage (which will include a tripod). I'm hoping to take a time-lapse...

Leave the 20-210mm at home, 14-70mm is enough range. I carried a 70-210mm f4 "Beercan" all over Egypt for a week and only used it once. The Beercan is much lighter then the Nikon 70-200mm...

Discount Camera is actually selling at an excellent price, about a $200-300 discount to the market price as set by auctions on eBay. People who want to pay less and snag the MSRP price are...

Agree with you. The EA1 is small and convenient. Manual focus of A-mount lenses is quick and easy. Way faster and more accurate than rangefinder cameras. It gets a bit trickier to focus with...

Dear Design-guy, I agree with your analysis and that of the others. But no one has brought up the issue of the large number or eBay listings coming out of NYC for D800. Friends and...

Morpheus, You asked for advice, and myself and several other readers responded. The collective advice has been to cancel your order and buy somewhere else. Sorry that my particular writing was...

Morpheus, Your email doesn't make sense to me. Why are you so fixated on purchasing from B&H when this is clearly the worst place to order from? And why are you paying the full price for the...

Pat, eBay D800 sales include the factory Nikon 1 yr warranty. This is only a $3000 camera for those who qualify for Nikon's MSRP pricing at this time such as NPS members, camera store owners, and...

Many people like myself are on endless waiting lists for this new Nikon camera. But actually, what we are waiting for is to purchase at a discount from the current market value. The current...

I noticed the same thing and picked up a kit on Saturday. Great store, and great to purchase a camera after having a chance to inspect it vs. mail-order. It could be six months before my 800E...
