This entire image is soft.  With an exposure of 25 seconds it may have been caused by wind, or perhaps a not so stable tripod.  But the edges are really a concern.  The lights are elongated into ...

Yes, Nikon Capture NX-D will correct this for you.

Okay, a little off topic.  Did you know the 200-500 makes for a good landscape lens.  I've had the lens for about 18 months and have shot mostly wildlife (and test shots).  I tried it out over the ...

I picked up this lens shortly after it came out.  It was fantastic on my D700, and still very good on my D800e.  Yes, as others say, it is a bit better stopped down a little.  But that comment ...

Oh, bummer.  Have you tried it with a different SD card perhaps?

Are you unable to update the firmware on your D5500?  The 10-20 works fine on my D5500.  But I believe I am at the current firmware level.

All of the existing ones, nicely packed in my camera bag!

For a straight head and shoulder portrait, I will reach for the 85mm f/1.8.  It is small, light, and wickedly sharp.  For a longer shoot with multiple poses and angles, I will opt for the 70-200. ...

I happen to own both of these lenses.  I don't use the 18-200 much any more, but used to use it as my primary walkaround lens on my D200.   The 18-140 is newer and used frequently with my D5500. ...

The 24-120 f/4 VR is a fine lens.  Capable of very good images, even on the highest resolution bodies.  I see the best results around f/8, but I don't mind shooting with it wide open, other than ...

I've had good results with the 18-55 AF-P version (on a converted D5300).  I don't see any evidence of hot spots, strange vignetting, flare, or any other anomaly .

Would you care to elaborate on this comment.  It doesn't seem logical to me.

Not a waste, and not a waist either :-).   Like all lenses on a 36MP sensor, careful technique is required to extract the most out of the camera and lens.  On a solid tripod, with remote release ...

Andre, thank you for the following information. mach, this is a lens hotspot database published in kolari site: https://kolarivision.com/articles/lens-hotspot-list/ this is a good starting point ...

I think you'll find f/8 and f/11 to be quite acceptable.  But f/16 definitely introduces softness in my images, assumed due to diffraction.

Screens that articulate up and down are only useful for horizontal compositions. They do not help at all on vertical compositions. So why don't we see more of the fully articulated screens such...

You might be looking in the wrong direction for a solution.  I suggest you consider replacing the camera, rather than lens. The noise you speak of is probably due to the D90.  A fine camera in its ...

Andre, I am new to IR photography.  But I am somewhat aware of the hot spot phenomena.  I have read about it and seen examples.  I notice a small degree of this occurring with my 10-20mm, although ...

I completely agree with your comment about the 10-20mm AF-P not being anywhere near as as the 18-55 AF-P.  I nearly returned my 10-20mm after doing a bunch of test shots.  I also have an older ...
