Compatibility of Older Sigma Lenses with Newer Nikon Bodies
nicolaiecostel replied to centropolis's topic in Nikon
<p>Hi guys, I dig this thread because earlier I tried to buy a used D7000 in great condition, it worked flawlessly with my nikkor 35 f/2D and 50 1.4 AFG and Sigma 85 f/1.4 but it refused to work with my older model Sigma 20 f/1.8.</p> <p>Refused like it would keep the aperture closed way down and not focus at all. It was like I was mounting a Pentax lens on a Nikkor mount. </p> <p>That lens works great with my D80, D300, D700, but not with this D7000, so I had to walk away.</p> -

<p>@John H: You read me wrong. What I meant was, if he had discussed the esential aspect of the online portfolio permission before the wedding, with the bride and groom, and they would have not agreed, then the OP would have backed away from the wedding, since there would have been no gain for him. This way, a pro that makes a living would have probably been chosen, and he would have shot the wedding irrespective of the permission to feature the work online.<br /> <br />I criticised the OP for giving it for free, depriving himself of the fruit of his labour and another photographer of a possible gig. It was plain childish to come out of the whole thing empty handed, with only some bad memories and a lesson learned. <br /> <br />And if the bride and groom swiched story after the wedding and did not allow for the usage of the images, it just shows just how much respect people have for things they get for free. None !<br /> People will respect you the most when you have a good portfolio and recommendations, when you dress and act professionally and when they pay for you. The more money, the more they will get out of your way and go and do where/what you want them to.</p>

<p>Serves you right. First of all, photography is NOT free. You invested in equipment, in labour, in processing and by giving it for absolutely free, no arrangements beforehand, you deprived another photographer of a gig and you gave the impression to yet some other people that photography is something to be taken lightly, that you don't have to pay for it.<br> You should not give a wedding for free without making absolutely sure that you can get an advantage out of it. Write it down, nail it in a verbal agreement with witnesses, make absolutely sure. And DO NOT post the pictures online without their agreement. What if the bride thinks she looks bad in the pictures and decides to go after you ? What if there are people that don't want to show up on the internet ?<br> Make a contract, pay taxes for it, work legal or at least make sure that you have some sort of mutual gain agreement. <br> There's really not much you can do except learning from it and moving on.</p>
