If you buy a legitimate U.S. Lens in the U.S., with a U.S. receipt, you can get it serviced by Nikon anywhere. If I were to go to Australia and buy a lens there, and I went bad back here, as long as...

I really not that MS software is so bad. Look at Apple. They used to advertise the fact that they did not have viruses. Well, they made themselves popular, which equals: target. Now, they don't...

About half the software I have won't run on a mac without some sort of emulation or dual boot mode. That, and I'd rather spend my money on software than overpriced hardware. Macs are PCs too. They...

I could never go back to a camera that doesn't have two command dials. That would just drive me crazy. I mostly live in aperture priority.

Actually, the AF-D 20mm f2.8 is not a bad lens. Easily equal in quality to the 35mm f2. The 35mm f2 has some flaws that don't show up so much on DX, but may be problematic on FX, as it tends to get...

Not if all you have are PCs and Linux boxes. One of the few examples of something available for Mac that isn't also on PC. Lightroom is on both.

Apple has a better OS for a couple of reasons.
1. Prior to OS-X, they practically destroyed the company with how bad and buggy the OS had gotten. We'll give them the benifit of the doubt and...

My sony reader, out of the box, is just a flat device with a 6 inch diagonal screen. You by the $50 leather cover separately, and now it's a go anywhere device. The cover even has a battery...

The first time you do a museum or castle, you'll wish you had both the flexibility of the 17-55 and the f2.8. That lens is on my camera right now. It comes off for the following reasons: I need...

So, you don't go to movies then...

The problem with batch processing for color is that it doesn't work at all unless you've taken a lot of the same lighting. Indoors with flash, OK, maybe. Outdoors in prime photo time (early...

However, some Image Stabilization systems can detect when the camera/lens is on a tripod, and automatically compensate for that fact. Nothing beats reading your manual.

I agree with the implied sentiment. However, I also have a problem with car drivers that don't think bicycles have any place on the road. I was in the left turn lane (that's the right turn lane in...

Unfortunately, as said, there are varying situations, and no one white balance will magically cover them all. Most of the time, you want the scene to look as it actually is to your eye. But, your...

After watching the news the other night, a game show came on, probably Jeopardy. One of the questions was about Uluru, but the official answer still called it Ayre's Rock.

Of course, I've only...

What he said. IIRC, Australia is comparable in size to the continental U.S. I could spend a couple of weeks in Yosemite, one park in California, and still not see all there is to see.

NZ is much...

The 14 hour flight would be your first clue that something has gone very wrong...

In New Zealand they speak English. In Australia, they speak Australian. ;)

The difference between the 17-55 and the consumer lenses is more than the f2.8 constant aperture, which is already a huge difference. The glass is a large part of the weight, but the build quality...

If you are having trouble getting a good shot in good light, the fault is not with the lens (unless it's actually defective). I would not replace the lens until my skills outstripped the ability of...

One main issue with any macro lens is the working distance to achieve its best ratio, in this case 1:1. The longer the lens, the less close to your subject you have to get. OTOH, the 60mm works on...

Thanks. Started yesterday. Finally got my computers set up again in our temp housing. Corporate moves are great, if you absolutely have to move.

Well, I didn't take any pictures today either. We finished cleaning the old house, and drove to Barstow (from Anaheim). Tomorrow, it's Albuquerque, New Mexico, and then Boulder, Colorado the next...

There's lots to consider. What line of cameras is better supported where you live. For me, that was a wash, and between Nikon and Canon, it usually is, but not always. Canon does have a more...

I remember growing up, one of my high school teachers had a BMW motorcycle. It looked nothing like this. All black and HUGE. It was pure and simple an open road cruising machine. You still don't see...

The best solution is pretty expensive. Full frame is great for those of us with vision problems. I can remember, before both were stolen, comparing the viewfinder in my Canon A-1 with 50mm attached...
