Yes. I use it when needed. Great lens. The f6.3 might bother you, but it is sharp. Pretty narrow dof at 300mm (450). Careful. 70-300 AF-P VR

Well, there are some others like it. But you are correct. It was designed FOR this lens.

So very well said!

Yeah, me too. Tried the violin, mandolin, and 4 string guitar. Didn't do so well as much practice was required (hours and hours for days and then months). :) Years and years away from any creative ...

True enough Wasserball. but Ansel Adams led the way in many b&w landscape scenes BECAUSE he was an innovator. He used every trick in the book, and then went on to create a few on his own. ...

almost 100% of the time . . . except for some micros, etc.

Yeah me too. Shooting 10 rolls a day for two newspapers burned up a lot of film. Mostly Tri-X as that is what was available at the time . . . 1960s. (I told you I was OLD . . . 81) Ha ha.

Nope. But it is one of my three degrees. "Ask anyone on the street". There you go again. "Psychology is a pseudoscience"? Excuse me while I put you on my very small ignore list.

Having owned a D800, D810, D2x, D3x, and many other bodies I think your assessment is silly. My suggestion? Buy a D810 and let it go at that. It is very unlikely that you can wear out a D810 in 5 ...

Because D-Max refers to maximum black in any printing paper. With matt paper typically having a D-Max from 1.5 to 2.5 and glossy paper having a D-Max of 2.2 to 3.4 it can make a HUGE difference in ...

Kinda like music and sports. The harder you practice the greater your potential for success.

Ha ha. Yeah, you are correct. Some people still don't think Picasso's work is art.

D-max (often spelled dMax, Dmax, and more) refers to maximum black in a print. D-76 is a film developer used by many - including myself. "T-max 400 or Tmax" is a term used to describe a newer form ...

. . . and perhaps he should left it at that?

Boy, you got that right. :)

No argument here! Some terrible assumptions.

Awhhhh. Thank you. You should see all the crap I throw away . . . or needs to be thrown away. :) I cull . . . seriously. I would like to redo my web pages, but time marches on.

You are welcome, Oscar. Although I don't agree with the author in many regards, he certainly has a point.

So well said Thank you.
