    Any significant advantage of the 600/4 VR vs 600/4 AF-S on a tripod

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I'm currently using the 600mm F4 VR, up from the 500mm F4 Vr. Before this I had the 500mm F4 with no VR and later moved to the 500mm F4 with VR before the move to the 600. I also always shoot from a tripod (I can hardly pick the darn thing up as it is, never mind hand holding it). My keeper rate after the move to the 500 VR from no VR improved drastically. I now shoot the 600 with the switch set to tripod VR all the time, never take it off. I see no reason to take it off and can see no results that indicate the VR is a problem. </p>

    nikon 70-300 vs sigma 120 - 400

    <p>Have the 70-300 and tried the Sigma. Image quality was pretty good but the weight of the lens killed it for me, almost 2-1/2 times the weight of the Nikkor. Image quality was pretty good, about the same as the Nikkor. OS worked well. One nice feature is is one they don't advertise, that being the shape of the mounting foot is the dovetail like the Arca Swiss mounts and an adapter isn't needed for that kind of tripod head.</p>

    <p>Just for the record Joe, I've found NX2 handles my D800 files flawlessly. It is slower than when handling D300 or D7000 files but that should be expected since the files are well over twice as large. I've found that NX2 renders them really good, great color, not drab and fuzzy, and much improved dynamic range over anything I've done previously.</p>

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    <p>I used to have the same problem on occasion Bernie, here's what I found to be the problem. You said you cleared the printing queue but I wonder if you cleared the temp folder where the 2200 places the temporary printing files. In windows 7 that temp file is at c:/ users/ - 'your name'/ - appdata/ - local/ - temp. It does not use the windows/temp folder (at least it didn't for me). If you've never cleared it you'll be surprised how much crap is retained in that folder. </p>
