Hi,


Ive only just started to use my parents Nikon D70 and im wondering if you have any tips on continous shooting and if i can change the from viewer to LCD screen when focusing.

And if possible aswell any tips on these

DX 70mm lens

cheers,

chris

Not entirely sure what sort of tips you want for continuous shooting, but I can tell you that you cannot use the lcd for focusing or 'liveview', thats a feature Nikon only recently incorporated in some of their cameras. TBH, once you get used to viewfinder, liveview seems something of a pain. Well, does for me these days anyway


as for the lenses, the only one I have used is the nikon 70-300 - if you can keep your aperture to between f8 and f11 its not a bad zoom and will serve you well while you learn the ropes, but is still a bottom end piece of kit so dont expect miracles. The other two sound like prime lenses, so will probably give better IQ generally and the tamron might be the macro? would be a good idea to post the full lens nomenclature [whats written on the side] to give more of an exact idea of what they are for better comments.

not a pain at all, everyone has to start somewhere. I am told thetamron 90mm macro is great little lens for the close up stuff, so you should have some fun learning t play with that
