Really? I can get a 70-200VRII refurbished from Newegg for 2,699 -10% = $2,430 or I can go straight to Nikon and get the same lens for $2160. Both with 90 day warranty. Gosh, why wouldn't I...

Square-ish vs. Rounded design - who cares as long as the body has the functionality that is desired.

My only wish for this camera is for a built-in flash - so it's likely not a winner for me even...

Now if Nikon would make a 24-85/2.8-4 AFS VR (and way way better than the old 24-85/2.8-4D) I'd be set.

In the US that would be an excellent price for a mint condition 80-200AFS. -- http://www.seanet.com/~hinkey/Signature6.jpg

Well, I think, like in my case, a lot more people have FX bodies and there are just not any AF/AFS lenses that match some of the old glass for size, weight, or IQ. I have: 16/3.5 AI FE -...

Hopefully this will spur Nikon to create their own 70-200/4.

It would be nice to know the approximate availability of this lens: This year, 2013?

Looking for a 2x TC for my 400/5.6 ED-IF AIS. It handles a 1.4XTC (TC14B) quite well, but was wondering if I would be better off modifying my TC20EIII (remove the tab) or getting a...

Don't particularly care what it looks like, but it misses the mark for me since there is no built-in EVF. Perhaps the K-02 will have this all-important feature (for me at least).

Had the D, bought the G, sold the D. In the center wide open the G was a bit sharper on my D700, but away from the center the 50/1.8G was much better. It also had better flare and ghosting...

Because they wanted it to be as cheap as possible while still being very very very good. Making it cover FX would not help in this regard. -- http://www.seanet.com/~hinkey/Signature6.jpg

I don't mind the mirror too much, but at least make the size of the camera like the FM3A. Oh, and this won't steal from the D800/D700 replacement market because Nikon should charge the same if...

Though the response to the CL ad could have been done much better than it was, the CL ad itself shows how few people really understand how a business is run or business works. All they see is...

Unfortunately this does not work. The Focusmode keyword is in the MakerNote section and the gui at least does not seem to search in this section. It shows that I can only filter on XMP keywords...

OK - I've installed the Windows GUI, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to filter and find all files with FocusMode = MANUAL. FocusMode is shown under the Nikon part when I...

Thanks! I'm on Win7 64bit. John -- http://www.seanet.com/~hinkey/Signature6.jpg

I'm trying to find all the NEF files that I have which I used manual focus. In Capture NX2 there is an entry in the metadata for Focus Mode: Manual, AF-S, or AF-C. Is anyone aware of any...

All the time. -- http://www.seanet.com/~hinkey/Signature6.jpg

$3K with AA Filter $3.9K w/o AA Filter According to NR. $3K seems like a fair price for such a beast (based on the rumored specs). I too hope this means a 16-18MP D700 replacement in the...

An update to my original response post: See this huge thriving thread at FM: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/929565/611#lastmessage I currently have: 16/3.5 AI (maybe my all time...
