That's too bad. I've seen many samples images. Bokeh seems much better (read smoother transients)  than my Nikon 60mm AF-S micro. Oh well, I shall wait and see.

Does anybody know if this lens will come out for Nikon cameras  and when ? On Sigma's site it says Sigma, Canon and Sony.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info.

In order to have the location information embedded in my photos, I need to have an accessory that communicates this to the camera right ?  In other words, the camera by itself cannot record this ...

You could always buy a good used TC-20 III and sell it for about the same price if it doesn't do what you want. On all the f/4 lenses that I have seen it paired with, it had a substantial negative ...

I've seen pretty decent optical results of the 300mm PF when paired to the TC-20 III. I have never seen examples when the same TC is combined with the older 300mm. I had that 300mm for a while and ...

The wide angle because of the path line is inviting the viewer inside the museum. It's inviting, it makes the viewer want to step in the frame and see what it's all about. The second shot is bland ...

Nikon mount ???

But what about stock photography featuring dozens of tourists in a urban environment ? Surely they didn't all sign a model release.

I live in Canada. Most of the athletes I'm talking about are at the amateur level.  They don't make a cent out of the sport but may win a prize (usually not money) once in a while of course. The ...

I've been using Topaz plugins for a long time. I didn't realize Studio was a raw editor. Might try that one.

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but are model releases required to sell as stock, photos featuring athletes performing within their respective sport (photos taken by me of course) ? ...

How does it compare with acdsee Utlimate 2018 ? Are these products comparable ? I'm looking for a RAW editor at an affordable price and not interested in subscriptions of any kind.

Agreed. To the OP: If you like your 80-400mm, keep it. It's a super versatile lens for its size and weight.  The 300mm is a fine lens but unless you want to carry many lenses to cover the 80-400mm ...

I also use my 300mm f/2.8 with a TC-20 III. Cost is certainly an advantage compared to getting a 600mm f/4 but equally important to me are weight and bulk considerations. The last thing I want is ...

"slight improvement" ?  That's an understatement to say the least.

I totally agree with ARClark. Ideally you should rent or borrow a D7200 to see for yourself if the image quality improvements are significant for what you do. If not, keep the D300. The D500 is ...

I haven't tried it on my D500 yet but it's the only f/1.4  lens I ever had that is sharp throughout at that aperture (on my D7200 and the D7100 I had before that). The results should be the same ...

and a lot cheaper
