The screw(s) doesn't care about the cost of the object, only how heavy and whether it exceeds its tensile strength.

If they are counterfeiting, they will counterfeit that too!  :)

If you only know the tensile strength of your average metal screw (that's ONE screw) you'll be surprised and will think differently.  We're not talking about holding up a person climbing a cliff ...

What is your budget?  The 16-80 is a good lens but expensive (if bought a la carte) for what you get. I have the 18-140 on my D500 and have been quite happy with it.  Around $200 used.  More reach ...

I wouldn't classify the 70-200 to be an all around zoom lens.  Starting at 70mm is just too long as an all around.

This looks like a defective lens!  Even with a shallow DOF at f/2.8, the edges should not be that off at all, especially with landscape shots like those you posted. I would send it back.

Any images of hippos in the pool????  :)

Let's see if this works... EDIT: Yeah! It works! :) Beautiful image by the way.

Wow!  I grew up in NYC and Central Park was my playground.  Until I got to college (and even still) I would be in Central Park every weekend, weather permitting. Like another poster said, I've ...

I actually don't mind the bee.  :)

What he said!  :) Since the forums allows it, maybe people can add "PLEASE DO NOT EDIT" at the bottom of their post and we should all honor that.

The skyline sure was simple then compared to what it is today!

That's your back yard???!!!!  :-O

Sold by "Big VALUE Inc".  I've never seen them as a purveyor of photographic equipment before.  Even 6th Avenue is selling it for more and they are not trustworthy.  I would pass if it was my money. ...

China?

That last one is a hoot!.  I would put a speech bubble over it saying "Hey!  Who you're looking at????!!!!!"  :)

You can also zoom over 100% on your desktop app.  Even Photoshop.  I don't know of any app that restricts you to 100% max.

It's heart warming to see the human spirit is still alive!

No, Nikon's repair facilities here in the US are all closed.  I know Tamron is too and probably Sigma.  I don't know about outside the US but I'm assuming the same situation.  We all just have to ...

Is your warranty still in effect?  Maybe send it to Nikon with these examples for a check and perhaps adjustment?  Only cost would be postage (if your warranty is still in effect).
