Best: 300 2.8 AF-S II Worst: Old version of 24-120 VR, 3.5-5.6, I think Surprisingly Good: Sigma 20-40 f2.8 Luckiest buy: Nikkor 35-70 f2.8 Bought with my first dslr (Fuji S2). The...

I have an old one. Nowadays I use it for HS track--see below link. Also, dpreview did a review on the 70-200's f2.8 that you might find...

While I generally have never found a Chinese made nikkor lens to be of lessor quality, I can certainly understand someone's concern for goods made in China as a lot of products made there have had...

A lot of the DC lenses are not finely "tuned" so that the best focus is at the zero setting. I did some test shots on mine to figure out what the true "neutral" point was. For some the dc...

Are you talking to me? dpr://galleries/573252392/photos/1860672 -- I take lots of pictures. Sometimes I even make a photograph. http://leeper.smugmug.com/

As long as you are not on the subway in the Bronx, Queens or Brookly after 10pm you should have no worries about crime. The one crime you should be careful about at any time is someone snatching...

I think dpreview did a review of 70-200's and some of the other 3rd party versions may have been better than the Sigma. True the Nikkor 70-200 is a stellar lens, but at about 2x the cost of the...

4,800 of a single camera seems like a lot to me, but having been to the store & seeing some of the lines, I wonder how it rates on a relative basis. -- I take lots of pictures. Sometimes I...

That is a trend I've noticed with many over the last several years, that many peoples' opinion of a good picture is generally limited to what they can store on their phone. Further many assume...

Cost can be defined in a lot of ways. That is why industry employs an army of accountants that specialize in cost accounting. As such, I suspect that by some measures they make money & others...

I would think the used D700 would be a more affordable option than the used D3 by $500-$1,000. re: getting an 85 f1..4 vs 85 f1.8 there are opinions both ways. I have the older model 85 f1.4. ...

That would be terrible for me... :-) I've been waiting for the D800 so I could buy a used D700. I don't need video and while I would like some additional mp's I don't really need them for the...

Very nice photo :-) I too go over that bridge most everyday to Queensboro Plaza (N&Q) -- I take lots of pictures. Sometimes I even make a photograph. http://leeper.smugmug.com/

The marjority of people never used an slr, for for them a moot point about the existence of a dslr... they wiill keep using their cell & be happy, since they never look at it larger than their cell...

The SD1 would do a lot better (& possibly be less expensive) if they made it with Nikon & Canon lens mount options.

Placed 63^rd in the challenge. Third attempt at a goal. Started the burst on initial corner kick.

Placed 35^th in the challenge. NY Botanical Garden catcus
