And stupid me spent almost $10,000 (US) on a used Nikon 400mm 2.8 e fl lens from a US seller that is a bit of a scammer. This guy advertised on eBay, and his ad certainly gave the impression that ...

The only reason I've still got it is because I have been too disorganized to put all the pieces that come with it together in order to sell it.  I had the manuals one place, and the box in the ...

Nope. Pick out the D2x and D3 on from the list on the right side of this page: https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm Compare the dynamic range.  No comparison. And how many people have the ...

The D5 is louder than the D850, and the D6 is louder than the D5. When using the D6 - for the first time I really noticed that I can't talk to people around me while I'm shooting.  I can't hear ...

I liked my D750 - more than I liked my D850's. These two cameras are essentially the same with high ISO performance. Pick the two cameras out of the list on the right side of this page, and you'll ...

I don't remember D3 AF modes (it was so long ago): I assumed that it had Group AF.  Did the D3 or D3s not have an AF mode that prioritized the closest subject to the camera?

I don't think the D850 is much of an improvement over the D750.  (I have both) One important question - is - how many of your shots of wildlife involve them moving much?  Birds in flight? And how ...

The D850 is a great allround camera, but many people who shoot wildlife discover that most of the good shots will be captured in low light - where the D5, D6 are better than the D850.

No - the lens shouldn't operate that way.

Yes, with my poor Google skills, I didn't find links addressing that exact issue, but perhaps someone else can chime in with their experience to confirm or refute this idea.

But they have really gone hardball about refusing to repair equipment if you're not the original buyer: https://www.ifixit.com/News/34241/nikon-is-killing-its-authorized-repair-program https://www. ...

Nikon in Canada and the USA are now being total ^)(%&'s and will refuse to repair stuff if you are not the ORIGINAL purchaser - and it doesn't matter if the product is a Nikon USA product or not.

I think it's unlikely that Nikon will release a mirrorless 500mm f4 - because the 400 mm f/2.8 Z TC lens becomes 560mm F4 when you engage the built in teleconverter - and there also exists the the ...

Agreed the 180-400 is the perfect safari lens - and if I had to have ONLY ONE lens, it might be that, or, the 120-300 2.8 Nikon. Owners of the 600 f4 lenses have probably seen their value drop S0 ...

That post I wrote yesterday prompted me to drag my old rusty 180-400 out of mothballs (I really haven't used it for at least a year, and maybe a year and a half - gosh, maybe even two years now). I ...

Canon recently announced they are going to have a mirrorless 400 2.8 lens in 2024. I would have thought the Z9 might make a good video camera for you, and then you could use your existing lenses, ...

I was looking at the prices of used 600 f4 e fl's online 2 days ago, and came across used 180-400's - and their price looked low to me (considering I've thought of selling mine - and would prefer ...

But back to the 180-400 f4 lens with built in TC: I think MANY people who raved so much about that lens when it first came out - have moved on from that lens and rarely continue to use it - IF ...

The built-in TC is a great idea - but, unfortunately, at least on my copy of the 180-400 - the drop in sharpness once I engage the TC makes images taken with the TC practically useless for me. I ...

Photos you take, if you get the 400 2.8 - will make you go WOW.
