Check it out when it arrives then decide. If you ever purchase a yet to be announced Nikon body you will need the dock as the lens will likely not AF properly without a firmware update, a Sigma ...

Perhaps Pentax outbid Canon and he will be switching again, on live webcast!

Checkmate! Thanks

I did not see in your posts what lenses you plan on using. When I see the name Bird Pics I imagine routine use of 500 and 600mm lenses for which the Gitzo 2541/RRS BH40 may not be sturdy enough to ...

The RRS TVC44 is 75 inches, the TVC45 is 85 inches, add the head and a camera and you are well over 7 feet. Not only tall enough but you will need a stool! :-)

Are they both set in the AF-C custom menu a1 to focus priority and not release priority?

Is your issue with the current packs the fit or the layout/capacity? From a fit standpoint it is essential to try the pack on loaded. I am accustomed to carrying a backpack and appreciate a well ...

Think about this assertion as you discuss the "crappy 85 1.8G", "bought a real lens", "piece of plastic Nikon", and "traded it in for a real lens". Ask, is the poster himself (and not the ...

35G?

200mm in either version may not be long enough as a lens primarily for Alaskan wildlife unless you intend on getting dangerously close.

We've got your back Henry! You may celebrate in peace with your family. D

You can place the order. They do not process it until they return. They do not charge your card until your order is processed. I believe they also accept PayPal, which is a separate entity with ...

It is great we have options. I rarely use video, prefer the focus ring out as on the 70-200, find I am usually at the long end on the 24-70, prefer my Zeiss 21 or Sigma 35 at the wider end, and do ...

Just get the Nikon. There is no lens lottery, there is an occasional problem, but not the continual list of threads related to focus, exposure, and forward compatibility. I have Nikon 24-70 and ...

I was going to mention that. A photo captured at the right moment in impact would also have shown a flattened ball. Too bad the energy involved in auto collisions cannot be dissipated and ...

Did your testing technique change camera to target distance to account for focus performance that poor? If not are you bringing it back to Tamron for another check? I have both the Nikon 24-70 and ...

I truly hope you returned it and made do with your previously mentioned emergency backup. It is unfortunate that your price statement (premonition?) on the Sirui, that you could buy it and replace ...

Focus breathing is the term. Imaging Resource, Matt Granger, and Thom Hogan all discuss it. I assume you have already googled and understand the concept, but if not, try those.

I use the AF-ON button for this with focus set to back button focus. Set focus mode to AF-C (Nikon's servo mode). While AF-ON button is pushed the servo is activated, stops when button released ...
