I bet you have a jackalope, too, and your snipe got away, right? I second the suggestion to ditch the 18-300. The wider the zoom range, the more compromised the optics have to be. In general zooms ...

I respectfully disagree with CptAmerica, too. The OP is looking for the advice of D850 owners, not the fans of any particular computer. The computer forums are divided, one for PC-types and one ...

In addition to the 2-button reset, I recommend you check to see what version of the Nikon software each body has. Different versions bring opportunities for the image processing to be different, ...

Check your own shooting experience - is it common for you to be frustrated because you can't shoot wider than 24 mm? If yes, then you'll miss the wider option on your trip just like you have so ...

I like #1, also. No need to identify the location, though - the Chrysler Building is a dead giveaway.

I think that Mr. Craig (can I call you Phoenix?) has nailed this subject very well. A fundamental truth about shooting wildlife. 400 isn't long enough, either, and neither is 600. And so it goes. M ...

Perhaps it's just my aging eyesight, but the camera on top sure looks to be physically larger than the one on the bottom. Is that a distortion from the relative positioning of the two? Ways to show ...

The amount of rain in this case is unremarkable - about 1 inch total in about 1 hour. But the reality is that most of the rain, about 0.6 inches, fell in about 15 minutes. The flooding is more the ...

I agree with stonesfan that the 16-85 would be a good choice. Those extra 2 mm on the wide end really make a difference. However, the f3.5-5.6 isn't any help over your 18-140 for low light. From ...

If the AF-S 300 f4D isn't the very first AF-S lens from Nikon, it was one of the first. As such, it has the earliest "Revision 0" of the AF-S technology. So I suspect the 300D offers the slowest ...

The 500 and the 1.4X for wildlife are obvious, and the 70-200 will be very nice for the rodeo. Your 24-70 will give you a very versatile range for landscapes and handle low light, too. I use a ...

This will go a long way toward maintaining and/or improving your skills so you are prepared when it's time to assume your Grandpa duties.

Very cool. You've documented a really interesting phenomenon, but I especially like #3. It's a wall hanger.

I'm a poor choice to ask about weathersealing. I live in Las Vegas, and rain, mud, and such aren't an issue. Even back in my film days, I was a fanatic about not changing lenses in the field ...

I've been using the AF-S 300 f4D for years now and love it. It has saved me a bundle of money by eliminating the need to get something better. I use the 300 with and without a Nikon TC-14E ii and ...

Two ideas: 1 - take the battery out of the uncooperative D7100 for a minute or two so that the internal memory forgets what it knows, and then replace the battery and try the ML-L3. 2 - if the ...

I suggest starting out with your own insurance - if you have homeowners or renters insurance, check with your agent first. If your insurance can be supplemented with a rider specific to your camera ...

We did this for some personal items (jewelry, not camera gear). I suggest getting a Dropbox account (free if you don't want the extra storage capacity). Then place the photos of the items in the ...

I have never owned a 200-400, but I have rented one from a local store. My experience with the rental unit agreed with what I'll call "common knowledge" about the 200-400: it's very good when the ...

The tours are pretty specific - the bus goes to specific spots with no flexibility in the route or stopping points. When we took the Kantishna shuttle in August, 2008, the driver said she'd stop ...
