You are actually asking 2 questions: 1. Will FX compatible lenses be able to capture images on a DX format camera.  Yes and usually IQ will be better than a comparable DX lens in the same range...

Yes skip the 28-300, while it has versatility in zoom range, the slow apertures and compromised IQ that comes with superzoom lenses is a waste IMHO on a high res sensor like the D600.  Get the...

Concern about stress on the camera/lens mount with a heavier/larger f2.8 VRII is a non issue on a body like the D800 because of its all metal body construction. That lens mount is strong and won't...

Take all three: 50 f1.4 (small size so non issue( 70-200 f4 16-35 f4 Take all of them with your travel/airplane bag, but depending where you are on your trip, just bring one or the other.  Or...

I was going to recommend 24-70 f2.8 for max versatility & speed balance, but since you don't have that, then I suggest the 24-120 f4 if you value zoom versatility more...or the 50mm f1.4 if you...

Please respond to everyone's input, it is incredibly rude to post a broad question and not respond to those who are trying to help you out with more specific questions.  At the same time letting...

Sorry what is 'value' to you peevee1? I think most people define value as 'getting the most for what they can afford'. I could afford the OM-D and felt like I got quite a bit for the price, so to...

I wouldn't trade my OM-D either, but if it were to get stolen/damaged beyond repair, then this EP-5 looks to be an excellent replacement camera to use with my still existing MFT lens collection

I own the 70-200 f4 but never shot inside a church yet.  Best recommendation is to rent a copy of the lens online, its available at lensrental.com and borrowlenses.com and give a try in the...

Need opinions on this lens, thanks.

I've always understood that Ken Rockwell's reviews were useless but I'm fortunate to have caught him writing his BS before the product has even been released.  He just copies the specs list and...

Not really. just buy the 35mm f 1.8 AF-S DX lens, it'll AF faster and more silently on your D7000 than an AF-D version.  Even tho I no longer own a DX Nikon, I still use the 35mm f1.8 on my full...

I think you need to redefine what 'portrait lens' is to you.A 50mm on a DX sensor camera is already on the short end of portrait lens, you'd start at 50mm and want to go longer after that, if the...

Currently shooting with a D600 and deciding between the Nikon 16-35mm f4 VR which I've used a couple times for landscape shoots and found it very impressive of course. I want to buy a dedicated...

Go for it if you can, like you said, once in a lifetime trip, you'll just have to make some financial sacrifices later, but if you think its worth it, get the body & lens, I used that setup on two...

The 18-105 makes a good walkaround for size, weight & convinience, but IQ is not that good, and the higher res 24MP no-LPF sensor of the D7100 will probably make this an even poorer choice.If...

I do a set a 3 bracketed shots at 2 stops, then another set of 3 shots at 1 stop, I throw out the redundant 6 photo and HDR combine the remaining 5 shots, obviously this can only be done with...

Yeah I know, but dust and oil spots don't make for interesting subjects so I chose to shoot landscape instead.

Those aren't satellites, the night sky was pretty heavy with air traffic, not much I could do unless I wanted to set up my night shots after midnight, it was far too cold and I didn't want to wait.

Thank you.
