<p>go for the sigma 150mm and the 1.4 teleconverter.</p>
-
<p>try the metz ms15, smaller and lighter than the r1, has no bulky power pack like the sigma and is nikon cls compatible. it is self contained and does not need to be assembled like the nikon.</p>

<p>Thank you all for the info.</p>
-
<p>what mode would i have to be in to get a shutter speed of 1000th second with the d7000 and sb700?</p>
-
<p>the birds i want to shoot are 20-25, maybe 30 feet away, the flash does reach, but does not quite freeze motion. at this kind of distance it should be possible.</p>

<p>i thought i may be able to use a shorter flash duration, i cant switch off the sun!</p>

<p>at the time i was using the sigma 150mm with the sigma 1.4 TC.</p>

<p>hi, recently i have been trying to get birds in flight, or about to take off but my pics have been subject to motion blur even with flash. i used the d7000, and sb700. camera is set to manual , usually f 5.6, 1/320s,auto fp, iso 500. how can i get better results? lighting is low in most situations so simply upping the shutter speed wont work.</p>

<p>60mm af-d micro nikkor, </p>

<p>internet paranoia! people worrying to much, and/or poor technique/inadequate lenses. i have even tried to look for faults, and they just arent there. you have to work a little bit harder to get ultimate sharpness, but, when you do it is well worth it!</p>

<p>i bought mine in november, as soon as i heard about the factory flooding. paid £798 for it in the uk. two weeks later it raised to £950, with some places asking £1050!</p>

<p>what flash is best for insects? the R1 (has a lot of pre flashes, or so i am told), or the sb700. i am using the d7000 with a sigma 150 + 1.4 TC. subjects may be 0.5-1 metre away.</p>
-
<p>hi, i thinking of getting the nikon R1 flash unit, without a commander module or other flash unit for my d7000. will this flash on its own work with the d7000? i dislike extra bulk on a camera and dont really want to have to use a commander in the hotshoe. thanks, evan.</p>

<p>dont forget you have to point an infra red controller to the front of the d90. it can be a bit hit and miss at the best of times, not recomended for 2 cameras.</p>
-
<p>sb400 flash,small and light, wont unbalance the camera. 70-300 vr2. 18-105. 60mm micro nikkor. lowe pro nova 180. .....all compact and light. happy shooting!</p>

<p>hi, could someone suggest some general settings for the d7000 when on walkabout, hand held. my fave subjects are wild birds, insects and other flora and fauna. i use the 70-300 ed, vr. tamron 90mm, plus 60mm micro nikkor. most of my results are quite pleasing,(to me at least). i would like some advice on camera settings only. not suggestions on extra kit. maybe using U1 for the zoom, and U2 for macro? 50% of my pics are taken in shady/low light situations. i also have the d90 as a backup body. thanks in advance, evan.</p>

<p>thank you rodeo. been meaning to use a larger file format for a while but stayed with j-pegs for convenience. i will have a try next time i use the camera. regards, evan.</p>
-
<p>tamron ultra wide lens are pretty poor, dont bother. i have the 11-18, makes a good paper weight!</p>
-
<p>the 70 300 vr ed is a great lens. i have no problems at all regarding its performance right through its range. its ok at short to medium distance for small birds, and i would not go any larger for handheld/walkabout photography. then again, a serious birder will laugh at anything under 600mm! its the best choice of the three in my eyes.</p><div>

<p>hi, under certain conditions with various lenses some of my photos show some white fringing along high contrast edges of the subject. is there a way to avoid it in the first case or can i get rid of it via processing? thanks, evan.</p><div></div>
