I had the same issue just a month or so after getting the lens.  Sent it to Nikon, they fixed it under warranty.

Also, for clarity, you upgraded to Lightroom Classic CC, not Lightroom CC, right? Adobe's names confuse more people than a politician's lies, but Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC are both ...

Good luck.  On my 85, with Focal, you need a very different adjustment at (for example) 5' and 50'.  Maybe canon is better.  :-) Linwood

Here's an interesting example (the full resolution is there if you click and zoom).  If you look at the face, the hair especially, it's crisp and shart.  The hands are soft, and I thikn it's ...

I shoot Nikon not Canon, so my comments are more general but... The shots you got seem well focused, at least at the resolution uploaded. What might be helpful is to post some that did not work, or ...

I'm impressed with a remote you can get the timing so good, I never quire release as accurately as I can with the real shutter button; maybe my remote.  Though never tried it for batting; have for ...

Ah, subtle, had to do a double take, but very cool example; most you see are curves. 11mm - just how close were you to that swinging bat; hope he doesn't hit fouls often to the right.  :-) But it's ...

I've seen more and more who used to be full time portrait/event photographers start teaching classes in lightroom (etc), holding model shoot classes, and holding photo-walks-for-fee. I've always ...

Well, maybe "an" not "the".  They are fairly typical of photo sharing/sales sites, smugmug, photoshelter, etc. being direct competitors.  They differ from sites like Flickr which are more aimed at ...

It's definitely a religious debate, but as a regular sports shooter with more glass than I care to admit, I use lens hoods religiously for protection, but never ever a filter. At the very least if ...

Most sites have specific sites they have workflow set up with, for example Smugmug uses Ezprints, but if you get their pro service they also offer Bay Labs (maybe others). I think that's ...

This is a frequently debated subject and the real answer is, it depends.  I can't see any difference at fast shutter speeds on any lens/body, but I've read testing from people fairly trustworthy ...

I'm largely aligned with Zurich Photo's comments, if you have low light and average equipment (meaning good DSLR's but not the high end sports stuff), you need light. Three ways to get enough ...

Indeed, grass is a great indicator of DOF location in a shot. #1: To me it looks like a bad lens, or just maybe motion blur.  Some of the fence diamonds for example seem to have a parallel ghost ...

Haven't heard of them, but I'll through Smugmug out there as a specifically-for-photographers site.  Interestingly they just bought Flickr also. But my main advice is this:  Sit down AWAY from the ...

Hopefully someone else will respond, as I am unfamiliar with them, but there are certainly gel holders but I have no idea what works well and for specific cameras; I do not think I have ever seen ...

Try shooting raw and adjusting the color balance after the fact, it will likely work much better.  If you are using a flash, try (if you still want to) putting the orange filter over the flash, so ...

What is it you are viewing, the raw (you are shooting raw?) shots or the converted images. If you are using two different raw viewers against a raw image don't expect them to ever match. The best ...

Real life example. I have no W-2 retirement plan, so I can contribute to an IRA, either conventional, roth, or conventional-not-deductible. It's a choice. These result in at least two different ...

Even more impressive, thanks. Was it a remote camera you had, or were you just hanging out there (or perhaps staged?). My attempts at getting good behind-the-goal shots have been mixed at best, so ...
