1. If your 18.5 is your favorite lens, yes.  If you feel like you can get the best shots, best compositions with it, run it and be creative especially because you are a second shooter. 2. Should be...

So, my D700 has been the workhorse for years and with new models hitting the marketplace, I saw the oppurtunity to get a used D3 and have the same sensor in both body formats.  Similar controls,...

I have put gaffers or masking tape over the mic holes and left it on auto for music before.  It works fairly well, even when right up on a band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlA-CkpYUWM Still...

The idea of an 8, 18.5 and 32 in the camera bag with an N1 is perfect.   I could go 13 and 32, as well.  I do love my 18.5.

I'll wait for the price to drop or buy one used in a few months.  But sweet, a manual focus ring...  Want that on all my 1 lenses.

Curious what rev firmware is on the Nokia? Recent updates have improved the quite a bit, especially wrt detail.

Yeah, I have to keep some faster glass in the bag.  I run at 1.8 on the 28G and 50G all the time due to where I have to shoot.   If every venue had great lights, I'd probably just have one fast...

Same size as my 28/1.8, very lightweight, solid enough and plenty sharp.  Especially considering I got it used for $350.  Love it.

Recent releases haven't broken my D700.

Glad they already revised the policy. It won't stop some people from complaining, though. I would be pretty mad if I were behind a guy with a 500mm monster on a monopod in the stands. The 10"...

I would grant that they need to protect their interests, but a detachable lens is a very common feature on cameras being marketed and sold. I don't have a camera with out a detachable lens. And...

Not sure how many of you planned on attending, but I will be there. I was very disappointed to see that along with lenses over 10" and tripods, the track plans to ban all detachable lens cameras. ...

It does focus quickly, not 70-200 quick, but very good. The AFS allows for full time manual focus and I use that capability often. Just get it. Great bokeh, lightweight and mine has taken a few...

I actually purchased a D300s to pair with my D700. It adds video and DX reach while retaining the exact same controls, weather sealing, battery type, battery grip and build quality. You might...

Not the same. That is durable pro gear that you admittedly found deals for and then used gently. The 7D is still $1500 on Amazon, so you obviously got a good deal. You admitted to the ebay...

The G is the better lens. Had the D, had a 50/1.4 Sigma, G is best of the bunch. -- Taking pictures of what I want to... http://www.photobriangray.com/

Everyone expecting low list prices should just wait til it hits e-tailers. I remember the Sigma was announced at $2400 MSRP and panic ensued, followed by street prices at the $1300 mark.I just...
