I have owned and used three generations of these cameras. First, a Nikkkormat FS(no meter), then a Nikomat non-AI indexing, and then two AI indexing Nikkormats. I thought all were great cameras,...

Looks like a huge growth market!

When it comes to birds, there is never enough reach,  A 500mm lens gives 25% enlargement over a 400 and a 600 gives 50% enlargement over 400 mm.  800mm gives 100% enlargement over 400.  You can ...

Nice series of shots.

I do a small amount of wedding and people photography.  When someone asks, I do it without asking for payment. I am not particularly good at those types of photography, but can be better than ...

Here's a couple of BIF taken with the 800 plus TC and my lowly D810. Following these guys is real challenge.

In2009 my wife and I took a safari to northern Tanzania.  My experience may not be relative to your destination, however, I took a Canon G10(equivalent focal range 28 to 140mm) and a D300 with the ...

I recall a Nikon ad from about 55 years ago(!) that recommended when buying a new lens to double or halve the focal length of the lens you have.  This was before zoom lenses were on the scene.  ...

Let me express my understanding of the issues expressed here.  Hopefully, it will clarify things a bit.  First, a 1050 mm lens is always a 1050 lens, regardless of the size of the media used to ...

AF tuning aside, the combination you are using equates to about a 1050mm lens.  Shooting this type of lens is a challenge at best.  Seeing some sample photos would help us to understand how ...

If hey made this offer for the Z7,  I would be all over it.  I have questions that can only be resolved hands on. in my world.

I have had the lens for about 4 years and had the D810 at the time.  I was waiting to see if the mirrorles models would equal the D850. Also, I have been busy with building a house  and with a ...

For me, finding and tracking birds has been a challenge.  While far from a master of it, I have improved with practice.  I do frequently use the lens on a tripod with gimbal head.  That requires ...

I have the 800mm lens and do swear by it, and occasionally at it.  It works well where you can take it to a scene of repetitive action or where you can use it without much carrying.  It does not ...

I frequently see an approach to image evaluation that I have questions about, that being to resize the higher resolution image to the same size as the smaller resolution image being evaluated.  ...

This is at best a casual explanation, not scientific.  The front element of the lens is divided into two parts.  The outer one half of the diameter is for passing light into the lens.  The light ...

I had a similar problem with the 80 to 400 and 1.4 teleconverter. The lens tuned at +14 nd with TC, looked to be about +22 or 23.  I sent the TC to Nikon LA and they charged me to clean it and ...

I have the most recent 500mmNikon Reflex,  It is difficult to focus at best.  I have gotten a few sharp shots with it, and those in situations where is repeat action in the same place such as drag ...

Don't wait until too close to your vacation.  I went to a camera store where there was a Nikon rep and an experienced salesperson.  This camera is complex and sophisticated.  It took both of them ...
