    Upgrade options from a Nikon 18-200 VR

    Food for thought as I'm not sure I'm getting much use from the 10-20 and if I also sell the 18-200 I can put the money towards a 70-200 f/2.8 and keep the 35mm for close range portraits. I do like the flexibility of the range of focal length with the 18-200 but I'll have to make some...

    Upgrade options from a Nikon 18-200 VR

    Hi, I've been using this lens since I first bought a Nikon D80 many years ago. It's been a good all round walkabout lens and served well. I've upgraded recently to a 7200 and I've been analyzing my results and they don't look as sharp at the longer end and I'm wondering if there's a better...

    Lowepro 200AW Slingshot - alternatives

    There seems to be few choices when looking for this type of bag but in case i've missed any do you know of any viable alternatives to the slingshot? I like the design and compactness and should be perfect for me - body with zoom, wide angle and prime. Thanks

    Thoughts on the 18-200 VR - many users?

    So i've been using this lens for a few years on a D80, and on the whole not a bad lens. Lately i think the D80 has held it back... I've now acquired a D7200 so can i expect more out of it? It was considered as one of the best "walkabout" lenses some years ago. I'm a hobbiest who's looking to...

    Agreed, I've decided to go for the 35mm 1.8G. Worth a try at least.

    Beginner 35mm and 50mm / 1.4 v 1.8?

    The plot thickens...I've checked reviews from various places and on the whole they're good. It's subjective I know but the real life experiences of you guys here will help, no rush.

    Beginner 35mm and 50mm / 1.4 v 1.8?

    That's really useful guys as I was debating if f/1.4 is worth the extra £s. 3 options I've narrowed it down to: Sigma 50mm, Nikon 35mm 1.8 and Nikon 50mm 1.8

    Beginner 35mm and 50mm / 1.4 v 1.8?

    Any views on 35mm v 50mm? I don't have a specific requirement other than getting the best results with portrait or short/mid range object stuff (cars, buildings, pets, people, features).

    Beginner 35mm and 50mm / 1.4 v 1.8?

    Hi there I'm keen on getting a prime lens to pair with my new Nikon 7200 and considering which option to go for. On face value i imagine the answer is 35mm 1.4 is the most favored but I'd like to get an idea in the real word if there is a significant difference between 35mm 1.4 v 1.8 as well...

    Nikon D80 to retire - D7100 or D7200

    The New Apple Products

    Underwhelming announcements as usual when it comes to the big "March Reveal". SE is an unfortunate term as I've always been a Sport, Sline , M, S or RS fan personally and doesn't really do much for the lineup imo. Shame the MB Airs didn't get an enhanced screen and replacement thunderbolt...
