<p>Keep in mind that while you are doubling the megapixel count, you are not doubling the resolution. While you will see a small difference if you are making huge posters or need a bit more cropping ability as compared to upsizing your files, for most typically sized prints you likely won't see any difference. Is it still worth the upgrade? Yes - you will likely enjoy the D5300 over the D90.</p>

<p>This shot was done with the lowly 35mm f2 lens and extension tubes. These combination gets you very, very close with good IQ. </p><div></div>

<p>There are numerous inexpensive ways to get great macro photos. And they all seem to be underrated.</p> <p>The sample comparison test shots below are unprocessed, full frame RAW image from my D3.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Extension tubes are very, very affordable (well under $50) and will possibly work well with a lens that you may already own. What lenses do you currently use?</p>
-
<p>Since you are a JPG shooter, it would probably be a good idea to leave it on (using the Normal setting).</p> <p> </p>

<p>Nick, are you referring to the focus indicators at the bottom left of the viewfinder display?</p>
-
<p>If the lens is in perfect focus with +20, I wouldn't worry about it. It should not change over time. I had a Nikon lens that I had to dial in that much for proper focus. </p> <p>But if you feel uncomfortable, exchange it.</p>

<p>The OP is asking about a specific EF lens, not FD lenses. </p>

<p>deleted duplicate.</p>

<p>Which adapter lets you mount Canon lenses on a Nikon body? I have yet to see one.</p>
-
<p>No, and as a beginner you would not want to anyway. Stick with Nikon lenses for Nikon cameras (at least to start). There are come pretty good 'kit' deals available if you search for them.</p>

<p>Shot with the OMD EM1, 45mm f1.8 lens and extension tubes.</p><div></div>

<p>Your lenses are fine. Where will you be taking the picture - indoors/outdoors, time of day, how large will the area be, will there be a ceiling and if so how high and what color is it?</p>

<p>While the perception is that the V1 gets you closer, the reality is that it does not. 200mm or 300mm on the V1 gets you equally as close as the same focal length on a DX body or FX body.</p> <p>And unless you are a VIP, you typically cannot even see the actual launches at the Cape (depends on the launch pad used and the viewing location).</p> <p>I am not familiar with Vandenburg AFB but would assume the viewing situation is he same.</p>
-
<p>The body is more than adequate but depending on where you are viewing/shooting from, 200mm may not be long enough. Are you going to located in a VIP viewing area or shooting from the beach or similar public location?</p> <p>You will need to check the actual item to see if the 55-200mm has VR. The kit generally comes with the non VR version it is impossible to tell from the Target listing and photo.</p>
-
<p>My 70-300mm VR lens did the same thing, and then then at some point the VR failed completely. The condition you are describing is obviously not normal. You may want to send your lenses in to a reputable service center to have them checked.</p>
-
<p>I am very happy with the Lumix 14mm f2.5 - it is small, light, quite sharp and reasonably priced (used).</p> <p>If you can carry a small tripod, that may be another option to use with your current lenses.</p>
-
<p>Experimenting using extension tubes is just acquired with a small metal L bracket.</p><div></div>

<p><em>" possibly build the Oly kit very very slowly"</em><br> <em> </em><br> That is how I started years ago and while I still have my D3 (sold my D800)and a bunch of Nikon lenses, I very, very, very rarely use it/them. The Olympus system is excellent overall and the lenses, especially the primes are amazing!</p>
-
<p>Frankly, you should not be having the kind of problems you are describing. It is not all that much different than any other lens. </p>
-
<p>You need to determine what the issue is. It could be a front or back focus problem. Or there could be another issue with the lens.</p> <p>Based on your sample image, I would guess that your lens/camera combo is perhaps front focusing a bit. The stitching in the pants seems to be more in focus than the face.</p> <p>I suggest you do some basic troubleshooting/testing using a tripod, a static subject and manual focus. See if you can get any properly focused images.</p> <p>Did you buy the lens new or used?</p>

<p>DXO software has exceptionally good lens specific distortion control/correction in addition to lens specific lens softness correction. Have you tried their software (They do offer a 30 free trial)?</p>
