Looking at your pics I will add that they are very nice, but frankly any camera including 550D is more than adequate for this kind of photography. And a tripod and shooting at a base ISO will ...

You don't need a new camera or FF camera. You will just win 1-2 stops max What you need is: 1. Tripod for things that don't move (or move slowly) 2. Flash to freeze the motion of things that move ...

I thought I would use a shutter button on the integrated grip on D3, but I found this not practical because I like to change the focussing point often and I do not reach the rocker wheel with my thumb

D800 is nothing compared to my D3 that sounds like someone is crushing empty aluminium cans

Depending what kind of photography you are doing you might consider switching to FX or other brand. I wouldn't be attached to the lenses since it is easy to sell everything on eBay, although ...

Sounds bold idea. However I am waiting to buy one with an optional removable digital back (ala Polaroid back) for previewing an exposure :-)

He threw us, a pack of hungry dogs, a bone to fight over

Stationary things in sunlight: even 12MP iPhone shots look decent Try to shoot the things that move, to get focus where you want it AND to get a shot at the moment you want it - then you will see ...

another stillborn photography project in search of some hipster with too much spare time... If I ever shoot film I will pick up a mint F4 off eBay for next to nothing

that's a great way to catch rabies

I also have a two lens setup as yours and very happy with it. I never had a need for anything in between 24 and 50 mm

The idea of "upgrading" from excellent 85/1.8 Nikkor to 85/1.4 Sigma sounds insane to me. DOF of 85/1.8 is paper-thin already, but on 1.4 the focus must be absolutely critical. Do you believe you ...

You, landscape shooters with high MP DSLR's! How do focus when shooting from a tripod: AF or Manual focus, through viewfinder or live view?

What about "Canon EOS Digital Info"? It does not work with all models

D610 + 50/1.8D (please no Sigmas) package will set you back only $1000 if bought new. You can save more buying used. That's it, you are done my friend and you are welcome

If I were that patient and measured in my gear purchases I would be able to retire by now

For models that have a flash shoe it is easy to do with off-camera flash cord or a trigger For those models that don't have the shoe your only option is an optical slave, but you have to be sure ...

there are few Youtube videos that start with "I've been doing a lot of timelapses and today my shutter finally broke". Unless you are a pro, the timelapsing might be the only feasible way for a ...

Many thanks for checking. It is not like it loose or anything. Just strange that it is sticking out

there is a screw on the mount that is sticking out: is it normal (see pic) ? Could you check your copy please?
