Backfocus at 200mm and minimum focus distance (2m and below) is a known issue with all 80-200 2.8 D, even recognized by Nikon.  Nothing  you can do, except using live view. In normal use, at longer ...

Get it and learn what a LEGEND is. I still use and LOVE mine. And yes, 12 MP are enough for (almost) everything.

Yes, AFAIK. Vale is now safe at home. BTW he made a generous donation to hospitals in his region, and is recommending his followers to keep obeying 'distancing' regulations. Ciao.

From Crema, province Cremona, Lombardy, (the most severely hit area in Italy): Overwhelmed? not really so, fortunately! The daily growth of new cases is continuously  reducing, reaching just +0.8% ...

Nikon produced 28-200/3.5-5.6 D IF (1998-2003) and 28-200/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED (2003-2005), but none of them came with VR.

This one tells a story! very well done.

Roasted scorpions, big insects and spiders are a common offer in every food market in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Fried worms make a very appreciated snack, too: You may wonder what is this man ...

Each time I look at an image from my 'Legend' , I can see that any flaw is coming from 'operator' error, so there isn't any reason for switching to anything else... and my reasons for switching to ...

Well, her background in dancing is easy to appreciate... but knowledge in computer science? Beautiful model, though...

I fully agree, here, but apparently OP disappeared, leaving us with his flawed test... I viewed the OpticalLimits test. (BTW, it was carried out on a 16MP D7000 body). But if you go there and ...

Hi, John Let me friendly disagree with you, in turn... IMHO, the problems with the 'test images' by OP are the following: (1) in both images, as noted by Leonard, the focus plane looks like being on ...

You could help us to help you by posting a few examples. Which metering mode are you using (? Any exposure compensation accidentally engaged? Is overexposure occurring with just that lens? Using ...

HERE you can find a 'photo diary' of our 4 weeks tour in Vietnam. It was in November 2008, 12 years ago. We traveled from the extreme North (Sa Pa, near the Chinese border) to Saigon -HCMC in the ...

A very nice series of street portraits, here! (and the optical quality of the lens really shines). Were these from Phnom Penh? I read that you are traveling to Vietnam, too. Sure you will meet ...

My humble opinion: I can't see how jumping to HiMP FX will help your 'creativity' and provide more 'artistic' results. It is more than 90% the photographer's skill. Digitalizing slides... I tried ...

Nice to see my old Nikkor 50/1.2 AI-S in the list of the lenses capable of outperforming a 36MP camera! But my question is: why should I replace my 12MP D700 with a 45MP D850?  All my pics are ...

No,  this is not the way it works. The sensor of a Mono camera, as well as the one of a color camera, does not collect 'color' data: it just collect (monochrome!) 'light' values. In a color camera ...

Hmm... maybe the seller's great deal was to get rid of a camera with unreliable command dials?

I just wonder how many F mount lenses are by Nikon and how many third party (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Zeiss, etc.) What makes photographers choose 3rd party? Cost (many times) but also better quality ...

I fully agree on that... I think that most of those who felt that kind of 'nostalgia' already bought a Df. That means, no justification for Nikon to invest on a Df replica, color or mono, as we ...
