Plus 1. For butterflies & other bugs in this size this is as close to perfect as it gets. I have the Sigma 150(not stablized) & the Nikon 105 VR & I still reach for the 300 f4.   Fred

I used Aperture for years & I became very fond of it. Very good program. Didn't care for it for printing. It has a major flaw. It is an Apple program. I am using a PC these days as it is much more...

I use Kenko ext. tubes & they work fine & still function  completely. They do feel a bit shakey. Ronnie Gaubert is a real inspiration to me. He extracted every bit of quality out of his tools & his...

A reply to Al. I know your heart is in the right place but the 28-300 is not good advice. I shoot birds in flight & IQ is the step in the right direction & the 300 f4 has great IQ. From there most...

On One Is another alternative. I'm still exploring it but it looks like it might be a good substitute for PS 6.

Just wanted to wish you well with the new lens. I love mine. I have to laugh when I think about how long I have had mine. Like 6 or 7 years & at the time every one was saying wait for a newer...

Nikon has a list of lenses that can be used with the TC's. I would look at & make sure the lens you want to pair with the TC is a workable combination. You may be able to use a 3rd party TC on a...

Never is a pretty long time, but I'll give it a go. My 300 f4. I just use this lens a lot & I love it It's IQ & ability to close focus, even with the TC 1.4 make it a keeper. The only way I would...

MDaniel, I have not read all the other posts, but have you considered using a speed light? Nikon has very good speed lights & they can make a big difference in your photography, both indoors &...

I have had my 300mm f/4 lens for 6 years or so & I just love it. It is one of Nikons better lenses & for the price I consifer it the best buy in the nikon line up. I shoot mine hand held w/TC 1.4 a...

It must be my eyes but most of these picture look a little OOF. Fred

I would send it back, fast. They were not honest in their discription & they are asking too much for the lens. There may be other problems & since the were not completly honest about the sale to...

Wasn't this gal part of a famous Rock & Roll Band???:-D  Nice pics as always.   Fred

First I want to thank you for posting your images taken with Zeiss 135. I hope that Nikon will give us a new 135mm f/2. This is a lens size I would like to have but I will wait to compare. I only...

Nice Toy. Can I come over & play??? lovely, Fred

Yes Boss!

Thanks Brian, I'm glad you took time to post the pics. The new version is really a big step up for this lens. I always liked the size of this lens but never thought it had a lot of quality. I'll...

WOW! you may real be in for big trouble. In addition to learning about wedding photograpy you need to realise that the groom is the last person to ask about what they need or want from you. Get all...

fft1, Those are all great lenses so no matter what you decide you will have some nice glass. I would take the Zeiss 135, but only because I already have the 85mm 1.4 G. The 85 is wicked & I will...

Great Shot. Artsy & fun to look at. I like the originol post best.Thanks for posting. Fred
