I have the 18-55 2.8 and is was the HSM motor that was knackered. Sigma will fix it for 109.99.

Had a quick glance at lunch and Jpeg would work to an extent. 1. Use JPEG Fine 2. Optimum JPEG quality 3. D-Lighting set to high 4. Use aRGB instead of sRGB 5. Use Lightroom as non-destructing platform

I read that this lens is only for newer bodies. Does it make it no use for my D90?

I use a 27" 2015 5k Imac daily and Adobe CC suite. The best money I've spent.

I've been using my D90 since 2010 and I'm not sure I would take much better shots with a D7200. So instead I think I'll treat the old girl to a nice new 16-80 2.8-4 in the new year.

Viewing you images on a 4k TV is a whole different experience. Just WOW.

Exactly the reason I shoot RAW. I have a 5 year old son and quick shots are a must as he doesn't hang around. If it's sharp and about 80% correct exposure wise, it can be edited nicely in PS.

Sorted. Didn't have the box checked to delete pixels when using the crop tool, so it created a layer. Thanks

I may be being really idiotic but when I open my RAW (NEF) file into CS6 it says layer 0 instead of background like it did in CS5? I always have to flatten the image before saving to jpeg even though this is the only layer. :gag:

It's all in the viewing distance. I've printed many 30x20" prints for people from my old 6mp (3008x2000) D40 with superb results. Ok press our nose against them they're not super sharp but you'll be surprised just how big you can print.

Did you shoot RAW. If so then yes it can be saved a little. I actually quite like it the way it is.

Am I right in saying the BBC will screen half the season live with the other races being covered by extensive highlight programmes? If so that'll do me as I ain't paying for Sky Sports.

Processed in Lightroom 3 and edited in CS3 with a touch of Topaz Adjust 3 Photo Pop. and the some lens blur and selective sharpening.

I have a D90, fantastic camera and superb value for money. Ok it's been replaced by the D7000 but that cost well over £1k and certainly isn't double the camera.

I personally don't bother with filters. A good lens hood will protect the front from knocks. Some will disagree, but it's personal preference.
