I was considering the purchase of the Tamron 70-300 because it was rated better than the Nikon 70-300.  I decided on the 70-200 F4 because from what I read it gave superb results.  My budget didn't...

Thanks again - I actually went with your recommendation but also added the 85 1.8G because I read some great reviews of how good it is, went a little over budget but should be ok.

Thanks for your reply.  I arrived at the same conclusion about the 24mm 2.8D - I originally included it because it gave me an extra stop advantage over the 18-35 or 24-85 so I included it for the...

Thanks for the reply but I don't have the budget for a fisheye at this time.

I hadn't considered the 70-200 F4.  If I include it I would need to choose between the 28mm 2.8D or the Vixen Polarie to be within budget.  I was only considering the 24mm because it was 2.8 and...

Thanks for your reply.  I hadn't looked at the 85 1.8g - I imagine that is probably a good portrait lens too.

Yes, I've heard the 18-35G was very sharp and that was part of my thinking in having lenses that covered a larger range.  I had been considering the 24-120mm over the 24-85mm but read in a few...

I have finally decided to step up to a full frame camera from an APS_C sensor.  I've decided to take the plunge and get a Nikon D600. I have a budget of about $4800 and this will be the last money...

I am contemplating purchasing a D600 but I am a little apprehensive about wet sensor cleaning which I have never done before.  How much pressure do you need to apply to the wand when you run it...

It's a small world - I just ordered mine today too for my trip in July to the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands and Arches.  You should checkout Dead Horse Point State Park next to Canyonlands...

Thanks Steve, that was very easy to remove as you indicated.  I purchased the lens from B&H and it is still within my 30 day return period.  Given the level of chromatic aberration in the photo I...

Thanks for the link - so I guess I don't have a defective lens, just need to learn how to remove it.

Just received a Tokina ATX-Pro 11-16mm DX II lens that I purchased for my Canon 7d.  I haven't taken too many shots yet but in this shot taken today I see very prominently a green edge on trees...

I wanted to get a wide angle zoom lens for my Canon 7d and couldn't decide between the Tokina 11 - 16 mm or the 12-24 mm as well.  I finally decided to go with the 11-16mm and I am very happy that...

I just purchased the 52 mm threaded Mag filter for my RX100.  I have several 52mm filters that I use with my Fuji XPRO1 so I thought I could interchange filters between the two cameras.  I took...

Fuji X-S1 Serial 21A01099 purchased from Crutchfield's in March 2012Original sensor, no orbs, no purple fringing, no lens droopage.

Very Nice Irene!  I like the way you captured the light.  How are you getting on with the X-S1?  I think I am going to send mine in to Fuji for repairs to get the sensor replaced and lens...

I've been considering sending my X-S1 in for repair to replace the sensor because in certain situations the autofocus seems to be off.   I called the Edison NJ repair facility and the Tech I spoke...

I haven't sent my X-S1 for sensor replacement yet but I've noticed considerable noise in my photos from a variety of shooting conditions. Below is a crop from a photo taken at 100 ISO - notice the...
