Yes. I shoot landscapes most of the time, and I manually focus at various points in the scene for each shot to get one with the depth of field I'm looking for.

I'm very happy with my old 17-35. The motor squeaks a bit on first actuation but I use it manual focus for landscape and other stuff anyway, so I'll not have it fixed if and when it does quit. I ...

I recently got a TC14B for my 800 and am very surprised at how little the image quality gets degraded when using it. The results are more than satisfactory to me, and I would consider myself at ...

Wonderful images! Thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Bill! I love my D500 and 200-500 combo!

I've had a lot of fun with lunar photos and other subjects that don't include fast action. It's amazing that photographers back in the day were able to pull off such great action shots with this lens.

I got one off ebay a couple years ago from Japan. Very sharp pictures.

Nice photo, Mike!
