A sloppy focusing ring has nothing to do whether I use manual focus or not.  I will still use manual focus where af does not work.  The focusing ring on the Sigma is wonderful with some resistance...

I don't plan on getting one for my 70-200 f4.0 lens.  I do use an L bracket on all my cameras which strengthens the base on the camera so no sweat on using my d4 with the L bracket with the...

graduation time  This is at portrait distance. Larry

I just received the Sigma 35mm f1.4 and Nikon 28mm f1.8 today.  They are replacing my 28mm and 35mm Zeiss lenses.  I got tired of manual focusing with the modern focusing screens that really aren't...

Beautiful image of the dog.  Yes I have the Nikon 105 f2.8 vr micro lens and yes it is sharp.  A lot of reviews express that it is a very sharp lens and can be used for people shots.  Made like a...

If it works, use it, its a tool and designed to withstand bumps and bruises.  Mine dropped from my drafting table onto a hardwood floor last week.  The only damage was a dent in the floor, camera...

Wonderful images.  It shows the talent of the person behind the camera, but also that the d800 is a fine tool.  I love the lighting and emotion in the images.  Thanks and keep the images coming. Larry

Yes I have read a couple comments on the Nikon versus Sigma bokeh.  The Nikon may have slightly better bokeh, but the Sigma is much sharper at wide apertures.  I have seen the Sigma images that...

I've done a lot of research concerning the Nikon 35mm f1.4 and Sigma 35mm f1.4 lenses.  I've talked with people who have owned the Nikon and now have the Sigma.  My Sigma 35mm f1.4 lens is arriving...

Looks like backfocus, but seems like a lot of back focus, fine tuning may not do it.   Larry

I agree that it is unrealistic to share batteries, memory cards and so on.  My d4 takes a more powerful battery for fast frame count and other reasons.  Cameras come in different sizes so it would...

One thing I like to check on is whether the lens is a USA or Import before I buy any lens.  Nikon USA has really dropped the hammer on Import since these lens do not go through Nikon USA before...

I use the tc1.4EII and tc 1.7EII on my camera mostly on my Nikon 500mm f4.0 vrII lens. The tc 1.4EII provides the best results not reducing image qualities, but does slow down af just a little. The...

E mail me, I have a b & w slim 010 mrc filter that will work really well.  Larry

I have the 8.5 lb Nikon 500 f4.0 vr II lens and a d4 and have the Gitzo 3 series and it works good for me. I need to keep as light as possible because like to walk into pond areas for my bird...

Why not just used the cf slot and carry an extra card?  Larry

I shoot in vivid in my camera picture control because of landscape and wildlife subjects.  If I am shooting portraits then I change white balance in post processing my raw images.  Not a...

I used filters for years and paid high prices for B&W and Helipan.  I now have a box of filters which don't fit most of the newer Nikon lens ugh!!!!  I quite buying filters, feel like its a rip...

Make sure your camera isn't in face detection especially if you have more than one person it the image ugh!!!!  I made that mistake the other night when I was photographing a play, nothing was...

This forum tends to lean towards pixel peeking.  Other forums are more into color, expression, mood and the other things that make up a great image.  Our world is beautiful and we can show this...
