For landscape photography I really think a good zoom is a much better option.   Personally I would rather give up just a tiny bit of sharpness (if any) in exchange for having the right focal ...

If you do get the 24-70 someday, the 20mm makes much more sense.  The 20mm, 24-70, and 70-200 f4 would make a very nice three lens set.  With just a little cropping you could really use it as a ...

I use my 16-35 f4 for landscape photography all the time and think it's fantastic, especially in the wider end from 16-24.  I can't imagine using a lens for landscape photography that doesn't ...

I agree.  I really wish Nikon would come out with a 24-70 f4 vr, with outstanding optics and build quality similar to the 24-70 2.8 lenses.  That would make a great f4 set with the already ...

I've got the 24-120 f4 but have never been fully satisfied with the sharpness when I compare it to my other lenses.  So I've been debating on the 24-70 2.8g too, but I do like the VR on the 24-120 ...

I dropped my Nikon 24-120 f4 last year from the back of my CRV to a blacktop parking lot,  At first it looked fine other than it bent the UV filter ring.   I continued shooting with it for a few ...

It`s an outstanding lens for landscape.  My particular copy is very sharp from center to the edges, and at it`s best from 16-24mm.  The only optical weakness is the performance beyond 30mm, ...

While the Feisol 3401 may not be the best tripod for extreme cold weather, I don't want anyone to think it's not a great tripod.  In fact, I've been very impressed with how solid and refined it ...

The collars basically wouldnt turn to loosen the leg joints to collapse the legs.  Last night i put both my Feisol and Gitzo on the porch when it was about 10 degrees and after sitting in the cold ...

That's a nice tripod.  I have a Gitzo GT2531 that I'll probably just use when it's really cold, and leave the Feisol for milder weather.  I don't remember having an issue with the leg locks on the ...

I received a Feisol CT3401 tripod for Christmas, which so far I really like.  It's light, folds up to under 19", and works very smoothly.  However, this morning I was shooting in 7 below ...

I've owned two Dell laptops, a Vostro which was my first laptop, and then after that an Inspiron.  On both laptops the motherboards went out a month or two after the one year warranty expired.  ...

I do some Lightroom/Photoshop editing on my $300 Lenovo laptop with just an I3 processor, 8gb ram, a 1tb regular hard drive, and integrated graphics, and it actually does pretty well. Mike

Thanks Simon.  Yes, when I hooked up my laptop to the monitor, at first I used it is the duplicate mode, and the monitor resolution was the same as the laptop, so not very sharp.  But when I ...

Thanks so much.  I just wanted to make sure.  . . .now I need to decide between the 4K and matte screen versions.  I had planned to just replace my 8 year old desktop with another one but I really ...

Does anyone know if using the Dell XPS 4K laptop with a 1920x1080 Dell U2413 monitor would cause any issues with the external monitor display given the monitor is a lower resolution than the ...

(1) I also bought a Nikon 70-200 f4 from KEH a few months ago.   I think it was an EX+.  It did have a small abrasion on the rubber zoom ring but not a big deal.  Certainly not enough to send back.  ...

I've been debating between the XPS 15 (9560) with the mat 1080p screen vs. the one with the glossy 4K.  The 4K screen is able to show 100% Adobe RGB, where the 1080p only 70%.  I think both can ...

That is one of my concerns.  I've been backing up as frequently as I can.

I'm running Windows 10 now, and it does have a dedicated NVDIA card.
