<p>I went to Italy last may: Venice, Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Cinque Terre.<br>

I brought two lenses with my D90: Nikon 18-200 VR II and Sigma 8-16.<br>

You can read this story here on my blog. There is one chapter that talks about lenses in particular.<br>

<p>Thanks for the info. I never heard about them. I will check them out.</p>

<p>I own a SB-900 as my main unit (which I love) as a Sigma 530 DG as my secondary unit - this one is just so-so.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I have both. I use the Sigma only as my second flash for portraits. I do not like how complicated it is to setup.</p>

<p>I am somewhat in the same situation as you with my D90 although I am not looking at a FF body. I will wait a few more month to see if the rumored D400 comes out, otherwise I might go for the D7000. At a native 64,000 ISO it is quite good.</p>

<p>I also personally used on my trip to Italy. Basically used it simply as a hard disk, did not view pics from it.<br>

I would import pics from my SD card to the HyperDrive, then from it to my iPad 1 for viewing.</p>

<p>Thanks guys for sharing. This is all very valuable info as I prepare for my 50th b-day safari.</p>

<p>I own a Sigma 8-16mm and I love it. I was sort of surprised to use it that much during my last vacation. Like in life, I say that for wide angles, "size does matter" ;-)</p>

<p>You can check out some of pics here on my blog: </p>

<p>I am not too too sure of what happened. Maybe, by double clicking on the desktop album, you asked AP to open it as a new library. If this is the case, then nothing is lost (actually, whatever the case, nothing is lost). You may need to ask AP to load your previous library, from the File menu.</p>

<p >I have had my Nikon D90 for almost two years now. I shoot birds, churches and urban scenes. I always wanted to go into portraiture but found the subject to be a tough one to master.<br>

For Christmas, my spouse suggested that I bring my portable studio to the family reunions in order for me to practice. This gave me the opportunity to shoot and learn some.<br>

<p>I personally looooove Kata bags. I own two: the 3N1-20 and the DR467i. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>I used to own a Nikon 70-300 VR lens. Sold it. Got the Sigma 150-500 OS HSM. Never looked back.</p>

<p>Nikon, 'cause Tamron is sloooooow to foucs.</p>

<p>Hey Carlos,</p>

<p>I have purchased the Sigma 150-500 OS HSM. For the price, I love it. If you can wait a few weeks, rumors are that Nikon will update their 80-400 VR...</p>

<p>Regards</p>
