I have found the 10-20mm works pretty well with my D800e at 14mm.  Anything wider and it vignettes considerably.  And longer lengths also vignette somewhat. A 1.2x crop would make it usable from ...

Yes, it does.  VR is not a good idea on a tripod.  And definitely not on long exposures.

I purchased the 10-20mm right when it first came out.  I was attracted to the small size and weight, as it would be an ideal compliment for my D5500 & D5300.  I did quite a bit of testing and ...

The one difference that I don't think has been pointed out yet is size and weight.  The DX version is unbelievably small and light for this class of lens. Optically, I don't think you will see a ...

First of all, you mentioned that the D500 would be primary.  So we should be talking DX lenses, or at least consider the crop factor effect on the D500. The regular go-to lens for the D500 is the ...

As others have mentioned, it is hard to beat this lens.  Small, light, great VR, unbelievably sharp.  I picked mine up refurbished for only $169.  A steal.  This is the 5th 70-300mm lens for me ...

Oh, my bad.  I just realized you are talking about the f/1.4.  Somehow I read f/1.8.  I've not owned either f/1.4 lens.  Both of mine have been the 1.8 variety.  You are right.  The 1.4 G is very ...

Chromatic aberration is pretty pronounced on the 'D' version.  And focusing is not very precise with the old screw drive approach.  That is why I sold my 'D' version and bought the newer 'G' with ...

Is this an April fools joke?

Perhaps a used D800e or D810.  Both are excellent.  And they not as steep of a step down in resolution from your medium format.

Sales tax in Chicago is 10.25%, which is among the highest in the U.S.  Surrounding suburbs are about 2% lower.  ProCam in Aurora, IL (8.25% sales tax) is an excellent dealer (already mentioned).  ...

Nikon is only interested in selling accessories to well-healed professionals these days.  This is clearly evident in the price gouging. For the price of a single SB-5000, you can buy a complete ...

Thom also says that mraw on the D850 is a totally different approach than what was used on the D810.  Thom claimed that the D850 version is acceptable and should yield decent images.

I'll second the switch to DxO Photolab.  I made this move several months ago and have been quite pleased.  Photolab's rendering of NEF files is exquisite.  I see more detail than any other NEF ...

Have you tried disabling shutter button focus, so that only back button focuses the camera?

Not quite sure which 18-55 you have.  There are so many of them.  The latest AF-P VR 18-55 is indeed a very high performing lens in terms of image quality.  This latest version is likely a little ...

It lets you sort of use newer AF-P lenses.  I say sort of because you have no control over VR.  It stays on all the time.  Still, in a pinch, it makes these lenses usable on the D800/D800e.

I believe this is how it works.  Once the camera has achieved focus, the lens transmits the distance from a chip embedded in the lens through the electronic contacts.  Hopefully, someone else will ...

What does it mean when it says 'grip cover' four times in a row?
