There's really not anything to break so it probably doesn't matter.  Having said that, the small price differences I've seen make it worth it to buy the American one.

I had a TC14 that just didn't like my 70-200, it worked on my 400 2.8 and my TC 17 works fine on the 70-200.  Cleaned all the contacts real good.   I figure there's just some gremlins that can't be...

Big fan of the 18-70.

About time somebody went this way. Hope the quality is good and maybe more choices as well. I often use 12-24 as a walk around, I find 18-70 not wide enough for my taste.

The 70-300 is a FX full frame lens.  In most cases, the best part of the glass is the central region, so in this case, when you shoot DX,  you're getting the best part of a lens that is already...

The 70-300mm AFS VR is better than the 55-300 in its range.  It's about 500? The 300mm/4 AFS is great and no excuses pro quality.  Price is about 900-1000 used.

You actually have to spend a significant amount of money to get a noticeably better image quality in the 18-55 range, maybe 500-600 for a Tamron 17-50 2.8 or something along those lines.I spent 90...

Don't buy used unless you personally know the history of the flashand check out Metz, that's what I would do.

Hey, this thread reminded me of a guy in Michigan here who's work I really admired.It took me this long to remember and find who it waswww.houseofphotography.com

If you want to feel at home as possible and use all features of modern Nikon FX lenses with the current ergonomic paradigm, the cameras are the F6, F5, F100, N80, N75, maybe N65.  This means the...

I missed the off camera flash questionI believe the D70 does thisEquipment in profile

Just about any Nikon DSLR would be fine.I'd avoid the D100, and D1 generation for varying reasonsBut D50 & 70 are available for around 100-150 and would suit you fine. With kit lens would approach...

Third party batteries are hit and miss. Whether or not Nikon's reasons for making it difficult are valid, it remains difficult because a computer chip with code is in the Nikon battery.Third party...

If you disable auto DX you might find you can just about use the 35 1.8 as a 35 with severe vignetting.Equipment in profile

As an absolute statement this is not good advice.First of all, the day may never come that you get a full frame camera, many people won't and won't have to, as DX is completely adequate for most...

I had the 35-70 2.8 AF (not D). A little soft wide open. Range a little bit too little.Not fond of the push pull, though it would have been tolerable if the other things weren't a problemI sold...

Ignore price for a minute and concentrate on prosD50 pros - can use old screw type AF lenses has a 1/500th flash sync speed 'cons - only 2GB SD card ( can use 4gb if formatted in computer -but...

The d3 was clearly a much better tool than a d300 at night and indoors. It also has a couple of features that full-time pros use like voice annotation, dual cf slot, more quick access to settings. ...

You could have a semantics argument but it is generally said to be an advanced amateur camera that is obviously cheaper than top of he line but good enough o get he job done. The d300 and d700 sit...
