Sure wish mine had been there ... I tried it. Agree. I tuned my 200-500 +2 @400 mm and it is sharp everywhere. I tried to set the second G2 to +6 in camera @ 200mm and use it for Tennis ... 135mm ...

+++ Arnie I have fine-tuned all of my Nikon lenses on my D500 and none of them required more than a +3 ... in fact they are all either +2 or +3. It is not at all difficult to check and tune a lens ...

The Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 is a beauty of a lens ... extremely well built, and felt great on my D500. BUT ... after going through two copies from B&H, I sadly ended up returning for a refund in ...

What part of Fl? Beautiful composition on the first one ... a wall hanger? All the others are great and I especially like the Osprey. Arnie

Hi Kurt, How's it going with the g2? I'm interested because I spent most of this summer being kicked around by the Tap-in and 2 copies (Nikon mount) that I knew could perform. I spent about a week ...

My apologies ... it's funny ... I looked them up the other day and they where $73 on Amazon, but are $54.95 now.  I paid $48 in May 2016. Arnie

That's Sarcasm OP ...

Wow! ... no one else had reported this defect besides me for 22 months, then 4 more recently.  Makes me wonder if Nikon has lost control of their QC in China.  Although this one is apparently "DIY ...

Ditto ... posting so many images made the responses more about the quantity than the quality of the images. Arnie

I agree, but I would have straightened it in pp. Used straighten tool in NX-D, and Auto Haze Removal in Elements 15 - less than a minute to do both. Liked the Warthog pics as well, especially the ...

I used a grip on my D300 to boost frames per second from 6 to 8 ... a big deal for sports and BIF.  But the D500 shoots 10 FPS without a grip, so I don't use a grip with the D500 + 200-500 combo.  ...

I use the free Nikon NX-D for D500 RAW conversion as well, and then "open with" Adobe Premier Elements 15 which I own and does everything I need.  I also use the NIK plugin. The great thing about ...

"the real world issue of dust on the sensor more typically comes down to frequency of lens changes, the environmental conditions in which those changes are made and the technique used by the ...

Well you should have a proper battery (labeled li=ion 20 or EN-EL15a) that came with your camera to confirm there is nothing wrong with the camera. Then proceed to exchange the "old" EN-EL 15's ...

YEP! ... What material did you make that out of? I was also thinking something off this page or similar. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=lens+band&r ...

I do that as well. Any out of the box thinkers with a "cooler" solution? Arnie

Make sure your focus limiter switch is set to "FULL".  I have on occasion inadvertently tripped switches on this lens. Arnie

This is my quick, simple and free method to AFFT a lens at a single focal length. Use a yardstick ... lean it straight away from the camera at a 45 degree angle. To help establish a focus point you ...

I totally agree. Arnie

Every time you press a button on the camera it wakes Bluetooth from its low power mode, but this can be very short lived and it takes at least ten seconds for Bluetooth to wake and reconnect to ...
