I would consider one for ... muddy motorcross :-) Mark_A

When I first got a dslr I bought a UV filter for my lens, but after some discussion, probably on here, I decided instead to always use the lens hood. Mark_A

Hi Giovanni, Are you sure you need to go to fundamentals? you have quite a list of good cameras in your sig. Mark_A

It must be very nice to have a shared interest with your partner, I am a little envious. Mark_A

Hi Peter, I can't speak about the AFS 50mm having never had one, but the AF screwdrive 50mm f1.8 is pretty instant focusing, there is hardly any glass that the camera has to move, so it is just ...

I was seriously considering a D600/610 for quite a while, the oil issue put me off a bit, in the end I bought a pre-owned D800 and have been very happy with it. Mark_A

I think the same, there are likely to be some AF bargains ahead :-) I would be interested in a 180/2.8 and an 85/1.4 if their prices come down. Mark_A

Hi Rexgig0, All I know is that at the moment none of my lenses have any sealing capability at all so I am quite shy about water. My D800 is supposed to have some level of weather protection ...

Yes, I am the same, I don't see it as a restriction more as fixing one variable so I don't have to think about it anymore. Mark_A

I have : 20 f2.8 50 f1.8 85 f1.8 And I like them, they are also tiny which is great when I want to be less conspicuous. However I am also often lazy in which case I have a 28-70 f2.8 which is a ...

I can't be bothered with buying inks and paper and whatnot, I just find it less hassle getting someone else to do that for me. And I prefer the result. However since I calibrated my monitor I have ...

Hi Charles, I don't have audio on this computer, when i am next back at base I will try to come back and watch it then. Hmm, actually if it is 2 hours I am not so sure :-) Nice approach you have to ...

I have a 20mm f2.8 AF. I recently used it for wide night shots (milky way) mainly but also it is the widest lens I have so it has other uses also. Like my other two primes I love that it is so small. ...
