Hi, Please look at the news article in the link below. It is a simply amazing shot, taken right in our own backyard. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2658674/Amazing-snap-of-tigers-teatime.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News

Second that. For example the D40 would not be compatible. I am using the same lens with my D80. No problems, decent PQ, especially at that price (ZERO!).

I saw the same review, and bought a manfrotto 486RC2 ball head to go with my Benro C-158n6 legs. Think it is a great balance between a decent price/weight and performance.

The following is what I do with my 50mm 1.4 as a strictly amateur photographer of my own children - the more professional guys on this forum would probably flip at some of my suggestions :bsmilie: My philosophy is that the expression/action I miss will never come back, given the pace at which...

Sorry to nitpick - Sleeping Beauty was waiting for her prince and shouldn't be wearing a wedding ring...;)

Are you still in Tokyo? Try getting there around 5:30 to 6AM in the morning, then go ALL the way inside to some of the big warehouse complexes. Ask your way to the tuna auction, and you'll see a couple of hundred of these lying around and some of the most animated auctioning this side of Asia...

Hi I! You're totally right! Was too eager to get the detail in the dark bronze doors, so the wall was over exposed. My attempt to balance the walls resulted in darkish blurred details on the doors, so I chose this once instead. Totally due to my lack of skills, but am still trying to...

Here is the first shot from a day's walk around Zurich - and my personal favourite. A bronze cast of Rodin's life work, 'The Gates of Hell' as displayed at the entrance of Kunsthaus Zurich. Do take note of what is probably his most famous work, 'The Thinker' in the upper third occupying a...

another thing - read on another forum (think it was dpreview) that UV filters decreases the effectiveness of the VR - I changed to NC filters just in case.

Have an old 20-35mm F2.8 - works well for me. Think someone's selling it in the buy/sell, or you could check with TCW

Bought New 1) Nikon AF-S 18 - 200 mm VR f/3.5 - 5.6G DX IF-ED 2) Nikon AF 50 mm f/1.4D passed down by dad 3) Nikon AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 4) Nikon AF 20 - 35 mm f/2.8D Usually carry the 18-200 with my D80

I would strongly suggest that you find a way to hold both the c158 and A158 in hand to compare. If you look at the specs for the C and M series, the 158 is always a little bit (40-50g) heavier than the 157, but the specs for the A series says the A158 is 230g LIGHTER than the A157 - this is...

Second that. And full attention and advice from James even for relatively inexpensive purchases.

If it helps...I got the following combo at TK: Benro C158 tripod + Manfrotto 486RC2 ballhead Total damage: $440 I was choosing between the Benro C158 and C157 but decided on the 4-section as the folded size was smaller. The Manfrotto 'mag carbon' ones were just too big and heavy, and the...
