20mm f16

I shot the women's FIS race weekend last fall at Killington with the a6000 and the 70-300. I think the results are fine, and it was a very reasonable size to cart backcountry, but if I were not ...

More walking about town with the Tokina 20-35

Moonset and morning rays on the Adirondacks

Any number of very good older lenses can be had under $100 used. I picked up a 50mm 1.8D for $50, a Tokina 20-35 for $65, and regularly see zooms like the 35-105 going under $75. All of these make ...

Though I shot intentionally toward the morning sun on these, much of the appearance of flare here is due more more to effect of the low sun angle through the the heavy , but shallow fog. The fog ...

Tokina 20-35mm f3.5-4.5 (Nikon F mount) on my Sony A7Rii via an F-mount to E-mount "dumb" adapter. Shot at f8 or f11, 20mm focal length.

A couple more from tonight with the 24 Nikkor

The panos are multiple shots stitched in Lightroom. I think 4 shots for one, and 5 for the other.

I saw that thread, too, and felt slightly better about myself, and then not... :-) But, since I am really very much a novice, I'm entirely okay with readily acknowledging my own knuckleheadedness. ...

Since this is my first foray into Nikon use, I’m sure I’m missing something in the settings menu somewhere. One minute I think I’ve set a fixed ISO and the next it’s running auto ISO, so clearly I ...

I just picked up a D300 recently, my first Nikon body. Got it cheap ($275 with the 18-200, and sold the 18-200 for well over half of that, so my net cost for the body was less than $100 - with 11k ...

By the time I invest in an MC-11 or Metabones and the better Canon glass, I’m almost back to Sony lens territory. And, no manual aperture option on the Canon lenses. This way, I was able to score ...

Gack!! Yes, I seem to have grabbed a shot with the 50 on that last one, but hey, it’s good for comparison.... :-) I was shooting with both that day. Good catch, thanks! I was looking to stretch the ...

I have been using mostly manual, adapted lenses on my A7Rii, which I love, and had settled into a kit consisting mostly of Minolta Rokkor primes. Recently, decided to switch out my (very tired) ...

Prior to this lens, I was shooting mostly with manual focus lenses. While not exactly as difficult as what you describe, I was still often able to get decent shots. I wouldn’t exactly describe ...

Got my 80-200 in excellent condition on eBay for $200. Best value in tele zooms ever?

Some recent shots with the D300 and push-pull 80-200 AF ED (yes, the *gasp* pre-AF-D version) I think it'll do.... :-D

I have had two Sony mirrorless bodies - an a6000 and now an A7Rii - and loved them both, for many of the reasons you cite as pros. I found the a6000 autofocus to be excellent, but have never liked ...

No worries! I likewise have moved my a6000 on.... and got a Nikon body! :-)
