  1. <p>I have Photoshop Elements 13. My problem is that it don't support the RAW files from my Fuji Xpro2. Should I switch to Lightroom as many recommends or should I hope Adobe will upgrade Elements in the near future? For my day-to-day-work Elements is fine and I really don't need the extras coming with Lightroom. I could do with some upgrades in the editing system, but I am really not interested in some new cloud or other features as I am happy with manual usage of Dropbox.</p>
  2. <p>I have just started testing video recording with my d300s. The recording in the tripod mode stops every time at exactly 5 minutes. I shoot in high resolution 16:9. My card is SanDisk Ultra 30 MB/s HC1, 32 GB.<br>

    Can't find any answers to this specific problem. Please help.</p>

  3. <p>I have a focusing problem with my Sigma 150-500 mm when using it at 500 mm (with Nikon d200). At f:6,3 the sharpness of the photo is simply not good enough. I am now experimenting with single point focusing. Is it the way to go?</p>
  4. <p>I am going to buy one of these soon. Looking at the market there seems to be a little confusion about the details of the name of the lens. The Sigma home page says: 150-500 mm F 5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM. Others name it without the APO. I am going to buy a new lens but which one is the real new: the one with APO or the ones without...? You could probably find a new one that has been in stock for a couple of years. I want a 2011-2012 made lens.</p>
  5. <p>I am wondering about the different sizes of JPGs I get from my D200. Shooting JPG "Fine" and in "L" setting, my files varies between 4-7.2 MB (8bit). I get the same result shooting my Leica D-lux. Can I set the camera(s) to produce equal sized files? And maybe bigger files. The resolution is L (3872 x 2592). I use Nikon Transfer and ViewNX. When I shoot RAW the files are naturrally much bigger, but from time to time I find that the JPGs are OK. So it is actually mostly a theoretical question.</p>
  6. <p>I just got a new original Nikon EN-EL3e battery for my D200. It can be charged and when mounted in the camera there is "life", but after a few seconds the camera goes dead. No problems with my other batteries. Any solutions - or is it just a "bad" battery?</p>
  7. <p>Thanks for your responses. I am now focusing on these three lenses:<br>

    Sigma DG 135-400 mm F 4.5-5.6 APO<br>

    Sigma 120-400 DG OS HSM<br>

    Nikkor VR 80-400 mm F 4.5-5.6 D ED<br>

    The first one the cheapest. Is it very old and maybe outdated?<br>

    Seems to me that people around are mostly satisfied with the Sigma 120-400. But I like the<br>

    Nikkor because it is very compact.<br>

    Which one of these would the experts out there go for....?</p>

  8. <p>I am going to buy a telephoto lens up to 500 mm.<br>

    I am looking at the following options:<br>

    Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6,3 DG OS HSM Nikon<br>

    Sigma 150-500mm f5/6.3 APO DG OS<br>

    Sigma DG 135-400 mm F 4.5-5.6 APO (are the APO lenses out of date?)<br>

    Tokina AT-X 840 AFII 80-400 mm F 4.5-5.6 SD (I have a Tokina PRO 16-50 lens which I am happy with)<br>

    Sigma 120-400 DG OS HSM<br>

    All on eBay and other outlets. The prices seem reasonable, but reading reviews confuse me a bit. I need a quality lens (have ditched the Tamron 70-300 mm once) as I need good quality. But for now finances don't allow buying topend Nikkor and Sigma lenses. To be used for wildlife photography.</p>

  9. <p>Thanks for your responses. It is clear that I should avoid the TC and go for a longer lens. I will be looking for the Sigma 150-400 m.m. or are there others 3. party lenses to recommend?<br>

    Anyone knows about this lens I found on eBay:</p>

    <h1 >SIGMA 135-400mm F4.5/5.6 APO EX DG LENS FOR NIKON DSLR</h1>

  10. <p>I have a nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR to my D200. I am going to Africa and would like to have a longer telephoto lens. I would like a 400 mm, but it is quite expensive as well as it is more stuff to bring. I am considering a 2X or 1.4X converter for my lens. I know I loose some aperture and the autofocus. But what else are the ups and downs of a converter?</p>
