16-80 2.8-4 and 300/4 should do it

D3300, D5200 and D7100 are the earliest AFP compatible cameras.  I'd hold out for a 7100

16-80/2.8-4 , 70-300 DX AFP VR Then 200-500/5.6 Then maybe 12-28 Tokina f4

I've owned both and think both are excellent cameras. There's three reasons I go D4, one is that there is a soft cutoff for some photo agencies wanting more than 12mp.  AF is a little better with ...

I use a new M1 MacBook Pro 13 8gb/256gb and it works great for me.   I paid 900 dollars for a returned BestBuy model.  I also use a Dell XPS15 64GB/512GB.  Other than screen size and battery life ...

This is the one thing that is a non-issue in my experience

I have extensive experience with all of the varying Nikon focus systems with the exception of the D6. I found the D800 AF was great and not greatly distinguishable in my use from a D4 or D750 or ...

one of the many 55-200mm DX AFS lenses, one without VR, one VR, one VR2 55-300mm DX AFS VR 70-300 AFS VR fx i think people like the Tamron 70-300 better than the Nikon one.  I don't have Tamron ...

For me having to deal with a third battery would be annoying and a deal breaker but yes, the 7200 is pretty much what you want.  Well maybe 610 also

The Df is probably better to use with the older lenses

great little lens.  I know its hard to take kit lenses seriously but this one is a keeper.

or 300/4 PF

i'd get a 70-200/4 or hold out for Zmount of same

yes, don't try too hard or you might make it worse

that doesn't sound good and the OEM one is so expensive. seems like something going bad inside to me but I would maybe try holding recalibrate down at first , just something to try .  It probably ...

I started with Nikon when I was a kid and the controls have always come naturally to me as the cameras evolved.  almost a muscle memory.  I probably could if I had to I suppose you would have to ...

If I were starting out now from scratch I would strongly consider looking into either Nikon, Canon , or 4/3 mirrorless.

I feel like this might have been the case with mine.   I had a 28-70 that I might have used once a year from 2004-2016.  It failed to move that last year.   I bought a 24-120/4 as backup, got the ...

At one point I was extremely excited about it, had an early deposit. Then I had some minor financial tightening so I withdrew.  As my cash flow opened up I just didn't see value in what I was gaining.

7500 is a nice camera if you don’t care about vertical grip and second card slot
