<p>Rick, I have a SB700 flash</p>

<p>I have some full frame lens, Nikkor 14/24mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8. So I've already invested in some lens. For the upgrade from D7000, I'm concerned about low light situations. Will the D600 will be significantly better than D7000? Or should I wait until I can afford the D800.</p>

<p>Hello, I have a D7000 with no backup camera. With a very "limited" budget I want to buy a full frame. Is the D600 that much better than the D7000? What I mean is, is it worth it to me to upgrade now, or should I wait until I can afford the D800?? Your opinion are appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Is there a difference in quality between the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S and f/1.4G AF-S ??</p>

<p>I have a D7000 and have noticed that I'm inconsistently getting excessive noise at low ISO levels such as ISO 200. Or the pictures are "dusty." What I mean is that it has a very fine level of noise. These are not under exposed images. What could be causing this?</p>

<p>I want to thank this forum so very much!!! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and the thought you put behind it. I've learned a lot. I'm going away with the conviction that I need to practice, practice and practice some more :)</p>

<p> I'm trying to decide whether or not I should buy a hand held light meter. I shoot a lot of indoor events at my church and various other places. Also I do portraits outdoors. I cannot get a handle on consistently setting my exposure (ISO, camera meter, Aper, Shutter) right to obtain good sharp images. I often either over expose or under expose. I'm getting better, but still I'm not as skilled as I'd like to be. I use my histogram and chip quite a bit. But even when I notice that it's wrong, I can't think quick enough on my feet to adjust my settings appropriately. That being said, I wonder if I should purchase a hand held meter and "learn to use it" I use flash sometimes but not always, and hardly ever use flash outdoors (unless for fill). Sometimes I do shoot indoors with continuous lighting.</p>

<p>I really appreciate the responses....thanks!!</p>

 

<p>what online services would you recommend?</p>

<p>I frequently hear kit lens being referred to as inferior....I'd like to know why? What are the considerations to be made when comparing a kit lens to a higher quality? What makes one lens better than another? Forgive such an ignorant question please. I'm learning!</p>

<p>What is the length of time that you take to edit/post process and deliver proofs or disk? That is, how much time do you give yourself and promise your clients delivery of their pictures after the photo shoot? I typically allow at most 2 weeks. I work another full time job in addition to my photography work and want to give myself ample time to spend on editing/post processing if necessary. But I wonder if this is much too long to ask clients to wait.</p>
