sunflower hearts all the way, they also like fruit suit block.

ha ha, aint got mine mind you i never got my new card but get the mags.

I would look at the xrite i1 Display Pro, the meter is streets ahead in terms of accuracy of the spyder meter and is less likely to drift with time. I use spyder 3 pro for my monitor and I also have a sypder 4 pro meter for my tv calibration and the xrite i1 Display Pro, is just a far better...

you use the iso that get the shot or the desired effect you want to achieve, like said in a studio low isos are used all the time , but there are pleanty of times high iso is needed and there no hiding from it, like weddings, sports photography, gig photography,wildlife photogrpahy, and much...

you must of had a bad d700 because the d700 is an easy stop better at high iso, as for af the d300 is better than the d7000 and the d700 is better than the d300 so its a far bit.

the d700 is a great camera and will do all you want and more,

yes it will focus with nikon cameras that have an autofucs motor built in. you need afs lenses or lenses with its own motor.

Phil I totaly agree the qc can be bad, i had a couple 150-500mm (on diffrent accasions) 1st was a dog and went back to sigma 5 times it was like it had a layer of vasoline on it. but i have had 4 sigma 170-500 lenses and all where top, and i waish they would do an os version as its a cracking...

also this from a d300 12mp and the sigma. original crop.

phil at 500mm wide open its sharp enough for prints mate no problem there. wide open just some diffrent ones. I have printed photos of bigger than 18x12 and also had canvas done at 30x16

In terms of pcture qualtiy i would put my 50-500mm os in the same league as my nikon 70-200mm and 28-70mm f2.8, It my fav lens.

If you have a 200mm lens on a 1.6 crop camera like your 7d it will give you a feild of view of 320mm on a 35mm camera (full frame) so to stand in the same place with a 1.6crop camera and full frame and get the same shot you would need a 7d (1.6 crop) with a 200mm lens and a 5dmk11 with a...

both lenses will do a great job but the nikon and tc will be less flexible. are you looking at the 50-500mm os or non os version, its a 2kg lens but i carry mine all day with no probs on my d300 gripped.

get a d300 or d7000 and a siggy 50-500mm os, cracking lens.

keep um coming.
