    Nikon 28-300mm lens vs. Tamron 28-300mm lens

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I have read this post with interest, I own both the afore mentioned lens on appropriate DX and FX cameras. I have primes and shorter reach 2.8s. I use these lens camera combinations as walk around combinations only. The ability to go from a relatively wide angle to zooming in on a object at a distance with a single lens is very convenient. They are more then adequate for this type daily photography purposes. Now, to shoot weddings, seniors or any event I use my 70-200 2.8 primarily with both the 85 1.8 and 50 1.8 at the ready. In the end it is the type photography you are doing and how you like or dislike results.</p>

    D600 Sensor Spots Appear Again - Any one with same issue

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>So I got into digital photography with a D-40. Moved up to a D-90 and received a D-5000 with the purchase of a 70-200mm lens I bought to shoot a family wedding. None of these had the dust/oil issues that my D-7000 and D-600 have had.<br>

    Both of these cameras have increased my love of image making. I have read time and again about sending cameras to the manufacturer to have a sensor cleaning with minimal results. I soon realized that for the cost of sending them both in, I could buy a sensor cleaning kit.<br>

    I researched on line, saw all the warnings and the few tutorials of how to do it. Finally I made the leap and spend just a few hundred dollars. I now clean both my camera sensors every month or so. I have no more oil or dust issues with either camera and continue to enjoy the images I make with them.<br>

    If you really like the camera and results it you produce with it, this is an easy work around.</p>

    D7000 and Eye-Fi

    <p>I have have had mine for nine or so months. Works very well with my I-Pad 2. It fits fine in and out of the card slot fine. But just check your's isn't catching on the card's slide lock. If it is, it will go in and out with some resistance and once the slide is in the lock position the camera will not read it but give a "Err" message in the photo count window until you slide it open. Learned by trial and error....</p>

    Problem with new D7000 -- 'dark circles' on images

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I have had mine for a year. At first mine took clear picutures but has developed the spots. I have blown, buffed cleaned it numerous times...the best I have found is to use the mirror lock and pointing the camera toward the floor and letting it slap home home two or three times. That seems to make it better but doesn't clean perfectly. I question if it is some time lubricant splash the mirror is causing. The New England Nikon rep refers to me as a neat freak...I have made a practice, since my D-40 days, to hold the camera face down any time a lens if off the camera.</p>

    My next D7000

    <p>I am no pro photographer. I have however made shotting Nokon DX cameras my main hobby for the last six or so years. I too was not pleased with my D-7000 focusing when I first started using it. I read about how using fast lens (f2.8 and faster) helped. I to found that to be the case, however I maybe just staring into my flash strobes to much but I have noticed that increasing the ISO, say in the 400 to 800 range, seems to help also. I don't understand why it would have the effect but the soft images seem to be more edgy at these ISOs.</p>

    Tamron 17-50 ( 2.8)

    <p>I have the D-7000 and the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 with stablization combination and can honestly say it is hard to beat for the money. If your not going to go pro or have the need to start an all Nikkor lense collection it should serve your purposes fine.</p>
