The lens I referred to wasn't a Sigma but the 2017 Nikon AF-P 10-20mm dx. I've read that the IQ is pretty good when compared to the older dx ultra wide zooms and is very light and has VR.  I've ...

Have you considered just picking up a Nikon d3400?  It's lighter than the Sony A6500...about half the weight of your d7100 and pretty much the same sensor.  No new menus to sort out and you can ...

I really like my 40mm.  It is definitely very sharp corner to corner.  Using it has been more of a learning curve then my zooms. You can pretty much forget about macro, you're way to close.  I'm ...

The day after flash flooding

This link provides a very good image comparison between the d7500, d7200 and its competitors. https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/nikon-d7500/nikon-d7500-image-quality.htm

I would like to record the occasional live event, how do other Nikon users deal with this? Do you just deal with less responsive video autofocus or would I be better off purchasing an small ...

I think I've settled on eventually upgrading to a d7500 in the future.  I know feature wise anything will be an upgrade, but I can't justify spending much more than $1000 on myself for a camera.  ...

I have a d3400 and the 40mm micro.  I don't think you'll gain any focus speed and you will lose some light.  In my limited experience the d3400 tends to  struggle to focus in low light.  I'm ...

Thanks.  I do a very occasional manual backup to a desktop computer which then is synced to an external backup but I'm interested if there is a better way to do this.  I mostly work on a laptop.  ...

I've been using the supplied USB cable and right click/import photos with delete from camera, but I just noticed my laptop has a card reader, so I may start using that for faster transfer.  I ...

I see plenty of dust spots in the first image.  I cleaned my sensor for the first time two days ago, granted I have a less expensive camera so I wasn't too worried about screwing it up.  I've been ...

I don't think the d3400 has the time lapse continuous shooting option, oh well.  I couldn't find it in the manual or any menus.  Another reason to eventually upgrade.  I found that I can use the ...

Thank you, very helpful advice.

Very nice photos.  What tripod/head do you use?

Thanks for the comments. Yes, f16 was for exposure but I probably could have opened it a little and been fine or used a shorter shutter...I don't have any ND filters yet, but I'll pick some up ...

I attempted to capture lightning for the first time. I used live view and a remote and took 30 second exposures. I Managed to get one decent shot. I learned two things. The first was that my ...

Very nice.  I found that cropping some foreground from the bottom putting the houses and mist closer to a third point drew my eye to all the action going on there.

Thank you
