I have been to Hawaii several times. For wildlife, as well as scenics, I would like to suggest Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge in Kauai. Long lenses will be helpful, though I used it mainly ...

I have the 16-80 and AFP 18-55, and also bought the DX 35/1.8 and 50/1.8 G. In the beginning, I had done some pixel peeping comparison, but found it went too much. Now if I want to do comparison, ...

I don't know about the 70-300 5.6 AFP but I assume it should be at lease as good as the VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G. The VR 70-300/4.5-5.6G is so good that my AFD 80-200/2.8 retired 10 years ago. D7500 + ...

In my opinion, if your photography experience is less than 10 years, you probably will go through: 70-300/5.6 -> 70-200/4 -> 70-200/2.8 + Primes. After that, you might reverse the process. I did. I ...

I had been looking for the D5600/D3500 for a few months, and finally got a used D3400 in mint condition this month. Its shutter count was only 600+, and it looked just like a brand new one. The ...

Thanks! The weather helped.

IMO it's a myth having better equipment gets better images. I in fact have "downgraded" my back-up camera from D90 to D3400 for the weight and size. As to my flagship D7500, it's good enough for ...

For long trips, typically I bring 5 lenses and determine which to carry depending on the need. D7500 + 16-80 VR Tamron 10-24 VC 55-200 VR II Alternatively, replace the 16-80 with the DX 35/1.8. But ...

I once bought the Nikon AF-D 85/1.8 for my D7500, and found I needed to mount it on a tripod to get sharp pictures very often. Otherwise, chances were I got blurred pictures when the shutter speed ...

I gained a lot of confidence in the 16-80 after reading this: https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-16-80mm-f2-8-4e-vr. I also have the 35/1.8 DX and AFS 50/1.8 G. Having some comparison ...

I own the 16-80mm and once dropped it with the D7500 to the shallow river. I picked them up immediately. The D7500 still could work, but didn't work well (especially the touch screen), while the ...

I had some experience with the Sigma 17-50/2.8. Outstanding! Significantly better than the Nikon DX 16-85/3.5-5.6G VR. But this 100-400 seems too heavy for me. It's about the same size as the ...

Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF ED VR. It's so good that my previous telephoto lens AF-D 80-200/2.8 virtually retired.

"The fashion now is to own a heavy metal object with sharpness undetectable to the human eye. Almost like it’s a gun or something." Well-said. Not for me, either.
-
The real reason I hesitate to use the so-called premium lenses is more because of the weight and size than of the price. Check out those Sigma F1.4 Art lenses for example. Each looks so ...

How about post processing? I only use NXStudio. As the post processing tolls, PS & LR, become more and more powerful, I wonder if we really need the "premium lenses" to have the outstanding IQ. ...

I think the difference should be invisible, if any. Just think about this: How about using the CPL or graduated filters, and even both? There are two pieces of glass in the CPL. I cleaned my ...
