Thanks! We had a good week there.

I like my 85mm 1.8G on dx.  It's inexpensive and can provide good subject isolation.  Out of focus is much nicer than my old 50mm AF.  I think the 50mm 1.8G improves this.  Everything I read says ...

Enjoying my new (to me) portrait lens.

With the amount you have invested in dx lenses already you may want to consider stepping up to a d7XXX camera as they have more features to grow into.  The massive viewfinders, build quality, tons ...

I have both of those lenses and am getting great use out of them.  No way would I replace those zooms with another zoom in the same focal length anytime soon.  I don't think you need a new lens ...

I would go with the 18-140 over a kit with the 18-55 and non VR 70-300.  Thom Hogan (a well respected Nikon expert) lists the 18-140 as slightly better than the 18-55 over the same range, plus you ...

Nice, the Cameta refurb price is more like it, thanks for the tip.

Thanks.  All this makes sense.  I will wait for the holiday sale and if I miss out will look pick up a refurbished.

I'd like to purchase a Nikon d7200 if I can get a really good deal.  I was hoping that since it has been replaced by the newer d7500 that I would be able to purchase an old stock, brand new ...

The d3400 has just about the best image quality available for a nikon dx sensor since it is one of the newer cameras. What you get going to a d7XXX camera are a ton of valuable features, most of ...

You, could try the Nikon DK-21M Magnifying Eyepiece.  It gives 17% magnification.  I use one on my camera.  I do want a 7200 or 7500 eventually for the larger brighter viewfinder among other ...

I've never evaluated a lens before.  I should have done this in manual focus, but do the attached photos seem to be typical for this lens.  Unfortunately these are dx crops.  I didn't see anything ...

I found a decent deal on a well cared for used 85mm from my local Nikon Authorized dealer yesterday. I'm about to do some tripod/bookshelf testing (never done this before - I have 10days for ...

I don't care if its crop or full frame, but I do hope Nikon will eventually release a MILC for the consumer market in the $1000+/- price range. Crop would make sense for smaller lenses.  I doubt ...

Unless going on a Safari where photography was the entire point of the trip, personally I don't think I'd worry too much about lugging around a backup camera . I would make sure my cell phone was ...
