<p>Either you really focused on the glass or your 50mm 1.8 is no good.</p>

<p>My 50mm 1.8 is soft. My 18-200 VR is sharper. I set both lens at 50mm, F4.8~5, VR off, 50mm gave softer pictures and less color saturation than those from 18-200 .</p>

<p>Hansen, it would be nice if you spend time to give us more detail.</p>

<p>Thanks. It goes it, but it is much tighter than the 18-200 VR.</p>

<p>I can't put the lens onto D90. Are they physically compatible?</p>

<h1>Sorry, my previouse has typo (typed RIGHT while it should be RING)</h1>

<p>Some aftermarket products use Ring Light instead of Ring Flash. Which one is better?<br>

Some aftermarket products use LEDs, some use fluorescent. Which one is better?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>For macro photography,<br>

(1) Ring Light or Ring Flash, which one is better<br>

(2) Some ring lights use LEDs, some use fluorescent bulb. Which one give more even color spectrum?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>What is the relationship between HSM and screw drive? How do these features affect your decision?</p>

<p>My brother-in-law, a PhD in chemistry, was laid off from Kodak 10 years ago because Kodak foresaw a dead end of film technology. Today's DX IQ has already surpassed the best 35mm film. If 35mm's IQ is what you eventually want, DX has already achieved that. The reason why you didn't pick a medium format then is the same reason why you may not need a FX in the future.<br>

Think outside the box. FX is not equivalent to 35mm, and DX is not equivalent APS. Things is going for "portability" while functionality is continuously improving.</p>

<p>Hey guys! She is a lady. Tell a girl to use your 4 years old D200 is like telling a guy to buy my used underpant. A young lady will take your old camera only if she gain something, such as financial gain.<br>

Give her a birthday present of $1150 cash (D90 body + 18-105VR price) and try to sell her your old D200 and used 18-200VR for $700. She will have $450 left for AFS 50mm or AFS 35mm or new dress.<br>

Love your daddy-liitle-girl. Don't always dream to have cash to pay for your new toy: D700 ONLY.</p>

<p>How can I tell from serial number that it is USA model or foreign model?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Is this lens compatible with current Canon digital SLR cameras?</p>

<p>If I am not wrong, all Nikon micro lenses have maximum reproduction ratio 1:1. I also notice that some Nikon macro lenses have maxmium reproduction ratio of 1:8.5 etc. Does it mean that all Nikon lenses are macro if they are not micro (1:1)?</p>

<p>I believe Nikon labels its lenese with "micro" if these lenses can rerproduce 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. Many other Nikon lenses labelledas Macro. What do these "macro" lenes offer?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Amazon.com<br>

The paper says 1 year USA warranty. All previous Nikon cameras I purchased came with 1 generic warranty statement and 1 warranty card which stamped the serial number.</p>

 

<p>Or the package I got miss the card. The only paper I got is a generic paper says that this camera comes with 1 year warranty. No serial number is printed on that paper.<br>

BTW, mine is a D90.</p>

<p>Nikkor's micro lenses can reproduce 1:1 image. With high MP photos, we can crop the image to 1:1 ratio and still retain good IQ. Does it mean that micro/macro lenses are useless?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>When we flip the dial to "flower", what exactly the camera inside does to help close-up photo? Do SLRs work the same as those P&S digicams?</p>

<p>If it saves you $200, drive 71 miles!</p>

<p>Will that damage the Nikon's coating?</p>

<p>Do you know where to locate the serial number?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>It is asking $2995 in eBay. Do you really think this lens worths that much?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>It really defects the purpose of a very portable camera D40 to have a big battery grip on the bottom. It is better and cheaper to have a spare battery fully charge to carry along.</p>

<p>Any suggestion of Fisheye Adapter to Nikkor 50mm f/1.8?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Both Nikon and Canon use in-lens vibration reduction or image stablization. Sony uses in-camera anti-shake. Which technology is better? I am sure they both have some advantages and disadvantages.</p>

<p>Make sure that you're neutral because you jump into conclusion that others are biased. If you lean towards left, everything else is on the right. If you lean towards right, everything else is on the left.</p>
