Hi Anyone still have (or had) the Nikon D7100 and happy with it? The price is around 500 now which is a nice price for me. I mostly do outdoor portrait stuff. Interested to know your thoughts on it.

So, tell us, what's your favourite lens (and why) ?

Hi all I just got a metal adapter to fit my Nikon lenses to a 5D mark ii. When I put the 85mm 1.8 AF D lens on it, it works fine in Aperture priority (aperture ring set to F16), which is all I need except it reads that the lens goes to 1.4 :D That would be nice. Obviously a miscommunication. It...

Hi folks How many people here regularly manually focus on DSLRs? I started doing it because the AF stopped working on my 85mm and I also bought a couple of old MF primes. Initially I found it really difficult but I seem to be getting the hang of it in portrait shoots, especially when stopped...

Why exactly?

The idea of clubbing the money together would be OK but I can get the D700 and D7100 for less than 1000 whereas the D750 is 1300 used as far as I can find. The D800 might be cheaper but has very big files. Not sure I want or need. Also I'd like two bodies. They both offer different things...

Thanks everyone... how about this? I buy both the D700 and the D7100. :D

OK nice idea. Here is mine................................. www.instagram.com/jamiebyrnephoto

Thinking about D600 or D700 but also D7100. I am now tempted to get a D700 and a D7100 together.

Hi everyone Anyone here try imitating the work of some renowned photographer in order to learn? I hear it can be a good method. To try a style that is maybe unusual to you, to see if it fits or is this a bit artificial? Should style just come out naturally? (deep question :))

Hi Nawty May I ask, I hear people say the resolution is not too good on the D700 compared to the D750, for example. Do you think it's acceptable to get paid something to shoot with an older body like that? Does it matter? I don't plan on printing large. Thanks

I am not sure which Nikon camera to buy now. The D600, D700 or D7100. I would like fx but can live without it if the D7100 is a much better camera. The D610 is a little outside my budget. I realise the D7200 might be similar price to the D600 used. I suppose I am thinking I can save money going...

Welcome :) It's a great moment to start into full manual control. The world opens up

Hi I'm probably what might be called an advanced amateur photographer from Ireland known to do some paid work from time to time. I like portraiture and street photography most of all. I am a Nikon user but had some bad luck with gear. Between bad sales and stolen stuff. I might be jinxed :)...
