Nikkor 35mm f2. Cheap lens. And very good. Your D800 becomes a very manageable size with this lens mounted and with the resolution of the D800 you can crop down to a 50mm size without losing much...

The next camera I buy will be a low to mid 20s MP count sensor in a pro level body with a frame rate faster than 5. Based on the offerings available today that sounds like a Canon EOS 5D Mark III....

In the years since I bought my D700 I've never felt camera envy even once, partially because it was the longest I can remember that Nikon simply didn't offer an upgrade at that level in their...

I had this lens and sold it. I found it's size was oppressive so I rarely carried it with me. But it's a great lens, and if you were carrying your camera, lens, a second camera, tripod, and...

I didn't call directly, but I emailed directly to the repair facility. Yes, you're probably right, it might have been faster if I had a live voice on the phone, but still, I might have thought it...

I have a D700 and have dealt with Nikon for a lens repair that was completely my fault and it was relatively painless though very expensive. That was about a year ago and in Canada. But I also have...

When the picture is good you get to be a little picky about it. Overall the exposure and composition are spot on but, I would like to see it a little softer. The contrast looks pretty cranked, and...

I remember when the Olympus 3030 came out. It was a $1500 3.3MP point and shoot back in the early days of digital photography. My brother bought one. It had a nasty hot pixel right where you...

I'm starting to think this is an elaborate joke. Really? Someone paid that much for a print of this? I mean, if we go beyond the composition (which I still think is terrible, but there's no...

Sell it now for $500. Buy it back in a year for $250. Win-win. -- http://www.craigsinclairphotography.blogspot.com

The point I was making in referencing the Yugo was that simply because a lot of people buy something doesn't necessarily make it a good thing. By most accounting a Yugo is a substandard car and yet...

Duly noted, and appreciated. You make good observations. As a (weak) defense I might offer that the OP has posted other photos that prompted similar criticisms and, like now, he then reacted poorly...

In 1985, Malcolm Bricklin had an idea about selling cars in North America and to that end he decided it would be a good idea to approach a company in Yugoslavia about importing their car, the Yugo,...

Circus Maximus starts off with trumpets alternating with drums while the rest of the orchestra is silent and then oscillates between the chaotic squealing of multiple intruments punctuated with...

I'd like to see something in between like, say, 1 month suspension and one year probation.HDR is gimmicky with rare exception. On occasion to see the details pulled out of the blacks can be...

First of all, you are not Andreas Gursky.The Gursky photo simultaneously delineated and blurred the lines between sky, grass, water, path. It made them exact entities without succumbing to the...
