That is so nice!  Thank you.

Once again with a tripod, and the Sigma 18-35/1.8. Wanted to capture the "action" and energy of the Freedom Bridge. Set up on the concrete triangle thingy (not for pedestrians), and wait for the ...

I love it.  It's light, sharp, doesn't look imposing, and handles beautifully.  You DO have to stand back from people a bit, and yes, that's what I primarily use it for.    I think this one was ...

I was going for a longer shutter speed, for some boat movement in contrast to the main subject that is razor sharp.  Thanks.

Thanks!  I was wishing for ISO 50, because in shots like this I always try to have some movement somewhere in the image. On the other hand, too small an aperture, and some moving objects won't be ...

As good as most new cameras are at ISO3200, there's nothing like ISO100 and a tripod.

My D7200 is a relatively new partner, and superb performer at that.  Coupled with the Sigma 8-16mm, well, lots of things can happen. Here's one, on a tripod, from St. Stephen's Basilica, Budapest. ...

YES!  You confirmed the purchase already intended and made.  For sure, with a Nikon lens, warranty matters.  With Tamron, maybe not so much...  Or Sigma for that matter...

It's doubtful Nikon will service any Tamron lens, wherever purchased. ;-)

Congrats on a fine lens/camera combination.

The focal length doesn't change, for sure, but the impact is totally different.  Take a 4x6 print from a FF 90mm and compare it to a 4x6 from a DX with the same 90mm lens.  It will look as though ...

I would not use flash, except for the portrait/group shots.  For the lens, I would use your 35/1.8.  It'll be great for group shots, and also for the performance shots.  I shot many dance comps ...

It really sounds like you want the D7500.  Just go for it. If refurb is a problem, then make sure the warranty is up to your liking, or go for a new D7200. The best PC I now have is a super-thin HP ...

I stopped using protective filters on my lenses 20 years ago.  No regrets. Could something happen?  Of course. One thing to consider...  With owners/renters insurance, a rider policy on specific ...

f/18? So, set your ISO to 32 and shoot a blank wall at f/8.  I suspect you won't see anything. Did you touch the sensor at some point (sorry if this was covered)? I guess my point is, I don't think ...

I have owned the Sigma 10-20/4.5-5.6, and now own the Sigma 8-16/4.5-5.6. It is a super sharp lens and more compact than the 10-20mm.  I've used it happily on the D7000/D7100 and now the D7200.  ...

You're right.  But here's the thing...  I have shots printed at 20x30" from the D200, where I can easily read inscriptions on the pitcher's cleats.  The D200 was a 10mp camera. What we have now in ...

I've had prints done 20x30" on both glossy paper and aluminum.  Same excellent result. My aluminum prints, at a number of sizes look exactly like ones done on glossy paper.  I like what I'm using ...

I commonly exhibit images infused into aluminum at 20"x30". I've done this using the highest quality JPEGs from a D200/D7000/D7100. One sports image sold for $1300. (shot on a D7000); another ...

I would second all the above.  Having once owned a D200, I found the D7xxx all wonderful replacements, and lighter.  BUT a real shift in weight would be had in the D5xxx series.  The image quality ...
