there is also the wire remote mc-dc2 and all the cinese imitations that come both in just the remote version or with the timer for time lapse.

I just checked mine and it only engages if done correctly!For the OP, Mako has explained the utiliy of the hood but if you whant to whatch a video try this:lens hood

do you use a protective filter in front of your lens? make sure to use the lens hood all the time!

The d7000 has 39 af points and 9 cross type ... have you erver used one to say its af system is not good for bif? The d7000 has also 3d tracking, I would try one before passing judgment for...

what is wrong with your d5000? I would upgrade the lenses rather than the camera!

I would say 1 or 2, both prosumer even though the d7000 is even further towards the pro side respect to the d90. Number 3, d700 is a disgrace if you use it with those dx lenses at 5 mpxl and number...

ok maybe I found the problem :-)  ... here it goes ... do you have Q mode on (as in quiet mode)? Turn the wheel to S and you will get your beep back.

it only works in af-s mode that I'm sure (i never use the beep) but probably you have to check that you have set it to focus priority and not photo priority.

a few from yestarday :-)

I agree, in this photo using Cs5, I fixed levels, reduced it for monitor and applied a little (25%) unsharp mask.  The photo looks fine to me!

other things that the d5200 might not have are intervalometer, the use of non cpu lens or older ai/ai-s lens, double sd card, fp sincro flash for fast shutter speeds, 1/250 sincro flash, 1/8000...

since you do some weddings, i would drop the 18-200 and buy a used 80-200 or 70-200 f2.8so that you can mount the 24-70 on the ff and the 80 or 70 to 200 on the d7000.

I would also add to what Ketil suggested, to separate af from the shutter release button by assigning af-on to the AF-L/AE-L button. By doing this, you can actually continue focusing while with the...

only 2 more (I'm sure I've deleted a few duds), as I've said I haven't used it a lot but if you need fast focus you have to rely on your af, afs lenses. The 85 is more suitable for shots where you...

the bokehthe narrow depth of field at f1.4 is very difficult for perfect focus (the dress is sharp her face less sharp)I have to use this lens more to improve the manual focusing

Thanks Mako, I will try with my 18-105 (the only vr lens I have that I seldom use because of the nikon f2.8 zooms) one of these days.As you stated above, there is no focal plane and it doesn't seem...

identical to my Samyang ... you will be happy with the results from this lens
