I own a R1800. It should be as old as your printer (more or less).I had my printer maintained recently by Epson, in Rome. They did clean the heads and replaced the ink pad, which was almost full...

OK, Ray. I didn't know. I'd suggest you to buy the 105 VR. It works fine also as medium telephoto for portraits. In DX mode you have a 15 Mpix file with your D800, thus stretching the flexibility...

Get the new 70-200/4 VR to complement the 24-85. It will be available within the end of the year.

It's not impossible to use TC-E converters with your 500/4 AI-P.Have a look here:http://nikonpages.heymanphotography.com/tcmod/The first moon picture shown in this thread of an Italian forum has...

Haven't you read what I wrote? See my previous post. To help you, see the bold characters in said post.P.S.: I don't know why in this forum I have to repeat what I write several times ... :-)))

Have you thought about buying both the 85/1.8 G and the new 70-200/4 VR ??You'd have a fast 85 mm, and a zoom with new generation VR when you don't need fast shutter speeds.

I'd prefer the f/4 Nikkor: less weight to carry on and - most likely - better AF. Anyway, I'd prefer the Nikkor f/4 even if the AF of the Tamron were spot on.P.S.: I already own the AF ED 180/2.8D,...

No and yes.When Nikon guys say that the 105 VR won't AF with TCs, they mean they do not ensure it will work in the whole focusing range and under all lighting conditions.In good light the AF will...

It's not overpriced considering how good is it (in terms of both image and built quality).Lens value is not determined by their age, but by their quality.Consider how much expensive the...

Mark,DoF depends on magnification and aperture (f/) only (it depends also on the sensor size, but I'll neglect this). You'll not gain any advantage by using a macro lens instead of a normal...

You should consider gradual filters with that lens, more than polarizers (as explained by previous posters).

Marco,consider that with 300/4 AFS + TC you have 2 lenses instead of one (a 400/5.6 + TC-14B is not a viable solution, being the resulting f/8 aperture too slow).The 300/4 + TC is a funny combo for...

Marco,congratulations for your new 21 Distagon!Best,R.

Hi amati,thank you for your kind word and for the new test pictures.I didn't know I'm a macro-guy :-)))Arghhhh! I could be happier with both ;-)Sigma macro lenses are very good. I owned the AF...

Have a look at photozone tests: http://www.photozone.de/nikon_ff/722-nikkorafd18028ff http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/667-sigma150f28oseos The Nikon 180 was tested on D3X; the 150 OS on...

taken by CV 125/2.5 Apo Lanthar? I guess you haven't. Educate yourself, and you'll understand what I meant. Take care,R.

I repeat here what I wrote in the other Forum.The CV 125 is way better than the Sigmas: it produces visibly 'cleaner' images.The three pictures have different colors, so I wonder if you used Auto...

According to Photozone, very few lenses can out-resolve the D3x sensor. Amongst them the 200/2 VR, the Zeiss 100/2 and the 70-200 VR II (@ 70 mm) at their best apertures.Therefore, according to PZ...

It depends on the final use of your pictures.If you plan to exhibit very large prints (larger than A3+), then you might consider swapping your D90 for a new 24+ Mpix FX camera, and buying high...
