I find that most of the time when shooting wide I get close. I seldom photograph sweeping landscapes. More often than not, I am shooting close to the object that I want to photograph and using a ...

The 20-35mm 2.8d is much much better than the 20mm 2.8d, but; and this is a real issue the close focus is  nearly 2 feet. This makes the lens practically useless for creative photography. You'd ...

The 105 is a perfectly acceptable lens for portraiture. Generally your at or near 2.8 anyway to ensure enough depth of field. The downside is that its heavy; the 85mm 1.8 is magnificently light. ...

Yes, NY city is a busy high traffic area. Agressive drivers, buses, and foot traffic. In addition to the obvios risk of theft.

It can also be dangerous. If your photographing in ny city for example and you take off your glasses to take a photo, your sight is seriously impared until you put your glasses back on. If an ...

I would think a fast wide zoom or prime on d750 and a tele on d7xxx if you go with the 80-400 you could have 18-35mm on fx and 80-400 on dx, pretty useful range. you could also take a 50mm 1.8 ...

I also wear glasses and have kerataconus in my right eye, therefore I am a left eye user in glasses (pretty thick too) The round finder makes a big difference. And If you add the dk-17m magnifier ...

nokon ai and ai-s lenses are manual, nice dampened focus ring and focus throw. An af (not af-s) lens will not auto focus on his camera but since it is an auto focus lens the focus ring is not ...

Remember guys d5200 doesn't have an af motor, lots of non-af-s lenses being mentioned. If he wants manual that's fine, but then he will be better with a true manual lens like the ai-s series.

If you plan to use your older lenses, you will likely be happier on the d700. the 20mm isnt bad, I have one, but I also have a newer 20mm 1.8g, theres just too much of a difference to ignore. As ...

I used 50mm frequently on dx when I still used that format, it all comes down to subject distance. A person centered in the frame about 4-5 feet away at 28mm on full frame looks just fine. If you ...

well he has a d5200... That will limit him to af-s lenses, its unlikely he will enjoy using manual focus. The 5200 has a crop factor of 1.5x. that means that a 50mm lens will "act" like a 75mm lens. ...

You may want to swap the d600 to a older d700. Firstly you will get a much better viewfinder. I hate my d610 for its square finder. I love the sensor but the finder is terrible. You will be ...

Sounds like impact damage. Have you sent it to Canon for repair? Really though all jokes aside we all make mistakes. If your comparing the 35mm 1.4 to the 16-35mm I think the question you need to ...

I would consider the 28mm 1.8g and the 85mm 1.8g You could be very happy with those for a long time. If you want to save money you could go with the 85mm 1.8d. If you buy used both g's could be had ...

Im not sure anyone has checked the 14-24mm at 35mm yet. At least I havent heard of it. May want to rephrase the question.

I would then go d750 and downsample if your unhappy. I am hard pressed to think you will find a d3 to be better than the 750 at a given iso.

If you find the d610 to be lacking (Ive done stage light only concerts and find it to be just fine) I would try it with a 1.4/1.8 prime. My d610 and 85mm 1.8g do a steller job in near darkness. If ...

Someone else mentioned vignetting; It does indeed vignette with filters, The only 2 I have found that dont are a heliopan uv filter and a b+w f-pro. Im sure there are polarizers out there that ...

Ha! Looks like you win this time Gadget! I clearly can't read....
