I have the 300mm f/2.8vrii so you know what I chose. But I shoot wildlife and sports. The 300mm performs great with the 2x teleconverter at 600mm and snaps to focus real quickly. I think that it...

When I think of my best vr slow shutter shot I always fall back to this one from the zoo. I never could have got it without vr since I was still using my D200 and couldn't go any higher on the iso....

The glass taxi by think tank:http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/glass-taxi.aspxI bought it to carry my 300mm attached to my camera body and it also works with it attached to my 70-200mm with...

Amazing! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Have you tried shooting D600 with the Tokina 12-24mm mounted on it? I have the Tokina 11-16mm and have found that it works on my D800 without vignetting as long as I keep it zoomed out to 16mm....

I've never used to the f/4 version so I can't say. But from what I've read is not only being a stop slower but it's slower at focusing too. How much slower I don't know. With a teleconverter...

I don't think that lens is any better then the Nikon 80-400mm. If that's what your options are down to I'd say go with the 70-200mm and the tc2.0eIII. I don't know anything about Costa Rica...

I have the VRII and I can handhold it with the tc2.0eIII attached. If you are not going to use a tripod I would suggest getting that one. Otherwise I don't think it matters. I've never used the VRI...

I was in the same boat. I've had my tokina for a few years but when I upgraded to the D800 I thought I'd need to upgrade my ultra wide. But I've been happy with using the tokina at 16mm. It's...

When I upgraded from my D200 to the D800 I had full frame lenses at the telephoto end in a 70-200mm, 70-300mm, and 300mm, and also had a 50mm. But my wide and wide to normal zooms were digital and...

Congratulations Oly. You've put out a nice little camera.

Of course everyone on here knows the best camera out last year was the D800. Put these three cameras out on a street corner and say you...

Amazing photos.

I travel to Florida and don't use filters either. I use to have one on my old 70-300mm and after a few years of use I noticed when I was cleaning it that it still looked brand new. Not a scratch on...

I had my own experience last week shooting an old falling down barn in late afternoon sun. I shot 5 exposures and processed them and then took the best exposure and processed it and liked that one...

The overall feeling of your post sure sounded like an attack on my process. Reading it over again I still get that feeling. I'm sorry if that's not what you were doing but it came off to me...

C'mon...you can't get that look with just using Lightroom.Why? That's the unedited file...as in unfinished.Good for you. You are being funny, right? I'll give you that because otherwise you're...

I'm sorry, I should have put CEP, Color Efex Pro 4: http://www.niksoftware.com/colorefexpro/usa/index.php . I used the midnight filter but removed it from the faces and toned it down on the rest.

No HDR editing. Edited NEF's in Lightroom and went into cs6 and applied a Niksoftware CEF filter. All edited the same way. Maybe too much vibrance there or something.

Last weekend our local humane association held a Mutt Strutt fund raiser and I set up a photo booth at the end to photograph the walkers and their dogs as they finished. They had me in a tent and I...

Buy a used camera and get top rated lenses. There are some great cameras from the last generation of cameras to come out that will satisfy your photographic endeavors. Look at the D700, D3, D300s,...
