Placed 3^rd in the challenge. Bicoloured Agapostemon (Agapostemon virescens) on Echinacea purpurea.

Its currently very hard to make zooms  with these specs that would be practical. My Sigma 50-100 f1.8 is a heavy beast, ad not the most ergonomic for hand holding, It also lacks features like ...

Why are you here anyway?

@Thought R Us "Nikon sometimes doesn't get all of the credit it deserves. They offer some really compelling cameras."

Nikon's cameras have not been an issue since the introduction of the D3 in...

You can always rent...

Nikon will pull through. The company has faced other crises before. There was a time when Nikon's cameras and lenses were lagging badly behind Canon in both capability and sales. A couple decades...

I'll give you $100 bucks. $125 if you set it on fire

I think most people know what it represents. They just don't think that representation is worth $2000. Of course if a greater fool is willing to pay you more than your purchase price, then fill...

Wonder if the 120-300 f2.8 is cramping sales of the 180-400? There is obvious overlap between these two, and considering some testers have found the 120-300 with TC 1.4III on par with the native...

And what a talent! His images seemed impeccable, impossible to me. He inspired many of us here to be better. His willingness to help other photographers and the way he conducted himself on the ...

I initially bought  the 7500 with an eye towards sports photography due to its frame rate, AF and processing advantages over the 7200. i was definitely pleasantly surprised, Even more surprising, ...

Never considered pancakes myself, but fingers crossed, that could be a very workable solution!

I need an empirical  basis to make observations on a message board now? I know a faux pas when I see one. Lol.  you've elucidated the point brilliantly. History has shown that the OP or myself can ...

NEduPortas....Nikon has been making APS-C cameras for well over FIFTEEN YEARS. The Nikon D1 was announced in 1999.  They only primes they produced in that time was a 10.5 fisheye and a 35 f1.8. ...

I think some users moved to 4/3 due to greater synergies

For astrophotography it is. I also had the FF 17-35 f2.8 for a number of years. It was great on my D700 but a bit limited on my crop sensor cameras. So I've been using a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 for a few ...

I've been with Nikon since the days of the F4. I'm well aware of what they offer. And all the chatter I 'hear' is not based on anything on Nikon's website

Apparently I have to. I keep hearing that its near impossible to make a decent wide prime that isn't expensive or huge. Surprisingly, people want lenses that are cheap. Even more surprising is some ...

I'm not sure how much money they made. But I still have one. I'm not sure how much money Nikon  made with Nocts, PK-13s, PB-6 Bellows, BR-2As, PC-E 45mm f2.8Ds or 70-180 Micro Nikkors.  Sometimes ...

This has zero to do with how hard lenses are to make or sell. Nikon made compact, light,  E series primes way back in the 1970s. Perhaps no one thought these lenses would sell either. The 58mm ...
