Depends on what access you have to the court.  If you are on the side lines, a 50 f/1.8 or 85 f/1.8 work well.  I use the 85 f/1.8 myself.

Were these the correct hoods?  Or the hoods that came with the lenses?

You *might* be able to figure it out with ExposurePlot if you don't have any other lenses in that focal range. It's a pretty cool program and tells you your shooting habit. https://www.vandel.nl/ex ...

I think his post with a littel tongue in cheek.  :)

Not only are you happy but your daughter will be super happy as you'll be capturing every moment of her volleyball games. It's an amazing camera for indoor gym sports.

I would say you would be covered under warranty.

I tried all night to search for my oriignal post on this exact same topic though with a different Sigma lens. I will continue to find it as it's nagging me. :) But in the meantime, read my previous ...

$137.50 for shipping?  :-O  Insurance I presume?

Can't you return the used and buy new if that is your desire?  It's only been a day.

16-80 is also a kit lens.  ;)

You beat me to the punch. :) I was going to say the same thing. If you consider f/4.5-5.6, how is f/3.5-5.6 any different? The 18-140 is a very good lens without going the f/2.8 route.

Why not another 18-140 if it gave you good service in the past?

An alternative might be to buy used from the various respected dealers. At least with KEH, their used warranty is longer than Nikon's Refurbished. And their used price are often cheaper, even more ...

I say that's a bargain!  :)

Can you post a sample of yours?  I find it hard to believe that the D500 can't handle ISO 1000.  I shoot at 3200-6400 ISO at times for indoor basketball games with great results.

If my memory serves me, whatever they line itemed in the e-mail is exactly what will appear on the written inovice that is shipped back with the camera.

You can put them on eBay. I can bet you will make some pretty decent money. BTW, check this out and this just just for Nikon boxes: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l ...

No, it's not. It's a returned item. But how can you assure that the returned item by a customer is new and UNUSED? I'm not trying to be difficult here. Sure, a sealed memory card or a pack of ...

So are you saying that B&H can resell the lens as new even though it was sent to a customer and the custoemr sent it back - not knowing whether it has been used or not? https://legalbeagle.com/6910 ...

By US Consumer Law, they can not re-sell the lens as new.  They can sell it as open box returns but I don't think B&H sells open box returns (like Best Buy).  What probably happens is that it goes ...
