<p>Sometimes I use my TC14B and result is grate too. With the TC301 2X is more difficult to achieve focus and tripod is allways very important. Any way it is an excelent lens!<br>

<p>One more picture with my 400mm f3.5 AI-S lens and D300 (wide open). I´m very very pleased with picture result. A grate lens!<br />Rgds<br />Antonio<br>

Thank you<br>

<p>imagelookslike a bit soft to me although bokeh is fine. I d´ont have a Tokina lens so I c´ant help you. I have a similar picture taken with a Nikon 400mm AI-S f3.5 ED + Nikon TC 14-B and with very good result. Maybe some one else can help you better than I. Good Luck<br>

<p>Your lens is a F mount and must be ai´d to fit in your D2x. Seerch in the net and you will find a guy that make this kind of lens modifications.<br />Here an example of an AI-S original lens so you can compare with yours:<br>

I have both cameras (wide and tele) but my focusing screens are a bit used and also kind of dark due, obviously,

both taking lenses are f:1:4 - sonnar and distagon. Just wondering if it is possible to find some place where I can find

a replacement for a new one for both cameras. Measure is 68,5mm X 63,5mm. I was told that someone in USA is

manufacturing a brand new one but I just c�ant find!! I�m looking for that one with split image. I would appreciate any

comments or sugestions!<div></div>

Hey J.C your shot at ISO 3200 is amazing, really good and NO PP. Im wondering how much my wedding pictures can be improved with the 700! I will upgrade for sure and let my D300 (another grate camera) as a backup. FF is the future, no doubt about!!

Cheers from Brazil

My settings:

I shoot RAW and also some little post processing with Nikon Capture ONLY, no photoshop!

I shoot wedding most of the time!

I have 2 D200 +2 SB800 and 2 MBD200 and some excellent lenses.

Picture result is excellent!

Good luck

I live in Sao Paulo - BRASIL and i?ve been working as a wedding photographer

for almost 15 years. I would like to hear your comments about something that I

read on MSN about nontraditional wedding under the point of view that people

are more and more looking forward to save money and make things more simple on

wedding cerimony.

Is this all about money?? (I d?ont think so....)

What you guys are doing to face this?

What I can tell you is that this is a tendency here in my country!

Kindly look at the "slide show" when reading the MSN comments and look for a

picture of a wedding cerimony in a STAIR!!!

Included with your lightsphere you should find a DVD with lots of instructions and also a couple of movies that is a must to see if you really want to learn something! Instructions are very simple and easy to follow and understand. If you d?ont understand english just RUN THE VIDEO IN YOUR COMPUTER. Practice is also highly recommended if you want to achieve excellent results. READ manual!!!

You can also find very good tutorials in the net!

A good english dictionary could help you too!

I?m also a BRAZILIAN!!

Cheers!

Antonio

Your pictures are beautiful and full of emotion. Congratulations!

Bob, nothing wrong with the RED DOT. That red dot indicates the FILM PLANE only! I have two Nikon S camera and both with 7 digits serial number. Eight digit Nikon S are far expensive and dificult to find than 7 digit! That�s a beautiful camera and I like that heavy feel in my hands and they produces excellent quality pictures too!

Congratulations and take some pictures soon!

Antonio

Hello,

Thank you so much to all of you, really appreciate your help.

Antonio

Hello,

I�m a new owner of Nikon D70 camera and I have a question:

When I shoot horizontaly the back screen (LCD) shows image as full

frame but when I turn camera verticaly the image in the LCD screen

shows 2 black frames (left and right) with the image in the center.

I d�ont understand if this is correct or if I can change something

in the camera (menu) to show a full frame image when I shoot with my

camera in verticaly position. Sorry for the silly question but i�m

still learning!

Thank you for any advice

Rgds from Brazil

Antonio
