There is no way around the minimum working distance of any lens.  You are correct, you'll need a lens with a shorter working distance or a macro .

D3 is a great camera, the only thing you need to keep in mind is that you can't crop much so you'll need to make sure to frame your subject with that in mind.  I had and sold mine for my D4.  The ...

1,2&4 are my favorites.  Great shots, and with only a 60mm macro.

Spooky, I can imagine something that I don't want to see traveling down that path.  Good job.

Unless you've shot with a d3 you wouldn't understand what he's referring to.

I know what you're talking about, the reason for the loss of the 3D look is due to the sensor.  I had a Nikon D3 and love that 3D look on fast glass.  The only way to achieve that look is to go ...

What a shame, it's been awhile but the last two things I ordered from them was my d7100. And a year later the Nikon 35mm dx . Both arrived OK, albeit with little more than a single strip of that ...

Unless your on assignment travel light.  Went I went this past July I took: Nikon d7100 Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 Nikon 55-200mm Go Pro hero 6. I used the go pro the most.  For diving, quick selfies and ...

Not a fan of filters on my lenses, I use my lens hood to keep my front glass from getting scratched.  If I did I would look at b+w, high end hoya, or Nikon.

First question, have you reset the camera?  That's where I'd start.  I had a D700 (sold) but that's the first thing I do when I get a "new to me" camera.

VR lens maybe?  This will help you keep the iso down a bit and keep some $$$ in your pocket.

Just wait, you'll see them being listed more and more.  People that need the latest and greatest.

If your patient you should be able to find a good deal on a used one once the z6/7 are on shelves.

Never shoot indoor lens test unless your using flash.  Go outside and try again, you'll see the sharpness your looking for.  Learned this the hard way.

Thinking about selling my D4 in favor of a Sony A7iii.  How does the Sony AF compare to the Nikon D4 or D3?  Size and weight aside this is something I wondered about before I buy.  I shoot ...

I have the other plastic fantastic 28-70mm f3.3-45 I think.  Very sharp, light weight, when I need the range or don't want to chance it with my other lenses fits the bill nicely.

Good thread, I have and love the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art lens, I've been going back and fourth on selling it and picking up a flavor of the 24-70mm (Nikon/Tamron) .  But haven't done so yet.  I think ...

That almost looks 3D.  I too was looking at the Sigma 105mm f1.4.  Hmm

My D4 works well with the new EN-EL18c.

Do you have lens profiles enabled in LR?
