Huh?! The sweet spot is dependent of the focal length. Sometimes it may be the same for several focal lengths especially for constant maximum aperture lenses.

Your sensor is the problem and maybe the processing. Are you sure you have good quality film. It looks like extremely low quality ORWO films.

No, Sigma 17-50 mm f/2.8 cannot replace neither Nikon 18-140 mm VR (despite the range it is a stellar lens for the price) nor 35 mm f/1.8 let alone Sigma 10-20 mm. With 50 mm f/1.8 it's a ...

A mirrorless of same quality costs more than a dSLR. If video would have been a priority then Pansonic offers more. @OP: There is a good news and a bad news. I start with the bad news: the budget ...

With that old bodies you have the risk of spending $650 and using it for one week. At least find a retailer that gives you a few month warranty. I have a body from 2008 and it still functions but ...

The first is true. Nikon D700 is 0.79 stops better with 1.23 stops more light not that Nikon D700 is worse than D7200 (as you can see in the link D700 still has the edge). As an example I put a ...

Nikon D700 was a good camera but I would not consider it right now since it is so old. Cameras are electronic devices that don't last forever. Based on your usage full frame is not the optimal ...

Most people don't give a penny on their photos. And this shows in the results. I agree that no one should shoot RAW because somebody else tells him/her so. Shooting JPEG is to transfer all the work ...

What do you mean by AP? Look at Nikon D5x00 bodies. Or Nikon D7500 if only tilting is OK.

If you want AF tracking and not to spend a fortune buy a dSLR. I have both dSLR (Nikon D7200 the more advanced) and a mirrorles (Olympus E-PL5). They are different leagues when you want to track ...

Based on you choice of cameras doesn't matter. Anyhow the IQ will be so low that will make no difference if you have RAW or not. You will be surprised that the IQ will be below your smartphone.

The two images are far too different in brightness to be all right with your camera. In the first the shutter speed seems not to exceed 1/250 s (unless you have an extremely fast fan). Usually in a ...

I shot with Nikon D40 at -20 °C for 150 photos. No problem whatsoever. Normally I would have got 500 photos with the battery, All cameras have temperature ranges between 0°C to 40 °C in ...

I said to buy either the kit with 18-140 mm or the body with 16-80 mm.

Get the kit with 18-140 mm VR. This lens was a surprise for me. If budget allows you could buy the body and 16-80 mm VR.

Why do you want weather resistance? It will mean that a few drops of rain will likely not harm the body.

You do all in View NX-i. Later you may need some lens correction or other edits that are not available on that software.

Use View NX-i. It is not perfect and easy to use but it makes good rendering. Later on you can process the resulted image (JPEG or TIF) in any image processing software.

ISO Auto with Manual mode is a very good implementation for Nikon. For your camera the exposure compensation can be set in Info Screen as the EC button is used for aperture change. Don't use ISO ...

It seems your budget is $50. Nikon Coolpix has a tiny sensor with extremely low IQ. Sony F717 should be a little better because it has larger sensor and faster lens. Nikon D50 is a decent dSLR and ...
