I have been using the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 as my walk around lens but after getting the Sigma Art 18- 35mm f/1.8 I like the look of the pictures it takes better- even though it does have a shorter ...

Was the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 but since I purchased it, the Sigma Art 18- 35mm f/1.4 has stayed on there.

I too have the 105mm macro and have rarely used it.  Thought I "needed" a macro lens.  Turns out I didn't.

Some events may not allow a flash like concerts or stage performances.  Sometimes events in churches also do not allow flash.  I think 11- 16mm would be too wide.  My two choices would be either a ...

My basic go-to lens has been my Nikon 17- 55mm f/2.8 for its fast aperture and nice range of the zoom.   But now I love how pictures look with the Sigma 18- 35mm.  Sharp, beautiful blur on ...

I had a (Canon) point and shoot converted to IR.  Lower cost than a DSLR and small enough to easily carry along with my regular camera. Conversions takes away the trial and error of figuring out ...

In the US they don't list a price but BH Photo lists that they will be taking "pre-orders" beginning June 22nd. Sigma's website still says "coming soon". Looks kinda heavy at 2.5 pounds (1170 g).

I think it is just mostly a lighting problem. (Second comments about the cats being great!) I am eagerly waiting to check out the new Africa Rocks section opening next month.

Isn't that viewpoint from an overpass (it is near where I live but haven't been on that road in a while)? Vehicles can cause it to vibrate.  If so, try again in a more stable location (maybe a ...

I used to have the Tamron and now have the Nikon.  Advantages?  The Tamron is lighter and cheaper.  Nikon heavier, more expensive, but I think it is sharper with better color contrast.  If weight ...

I have that lens ordered (should be here tomorrow) and read a lot of reviews.   They indicated it can have troubles focusing if you get very far from the center. Curious how it will do on my D500 ...

Yes, it was indoors.   Looks like I left the camera on D 72 focus points (I was at several events at the fair that day- had to keep changing ISO too as  I moved from location to location).

Haven't been to the rodeo since I was a kid.   They had some rodeo events at the San Diego County Fair so I jumped at the chance.  The high frame rate and large buffer were extremely helpful in ...

I like criteriums for cycling photography over road races because they go by many times and you can try different things as well as get close to the action.   On a road race they just go past once ...

The issue may be the flip screen. If it works like my D500 does, it uses a different focusing method rather than the focus points you would normally be using. I believe it looks more for an area ...

If you may find yourself in low light situations, the 70-200mm f/2.8 will be useful.

Obviously the zoom range is different for the two lenses. How close will you be to your subjects?   The 17-55mm on a DX camera is the basic equivalent of the 24-70mm on full frame.  Those ...

D7100 is a great camera and the gains to a D7200 would be minimal.  I would keep what you have. A deal isn't a deal if you don't really need it.  If you do feel a need to upgrade, a bigger move ...

Shooting on DX I usually just take two lenses with me- always my 17- 55mm f/2.8 and depending on whether shooting an event or travel, the 70- 200mm f/2.8 VRII or if needing longer reach (outdoors ...
