Nikon D80, The HD, 80-200mm, 18-200mm, tammy 28-75mm, 50mm 1.4

Just got my 80-200mm aka The Monster yesterday night, very very heavy, but nice. Other than the gear posted my past gear included:

D70
Nikon 18-70mm
Nikon 18-55mm
Nikon 18-55mm with the silver band
Nikon 20mm

Shooting RAW is great if you do PP, if not JPG is just fine.

I just need to get me:

SB 600
Nikon 17-55mm or 12-24mm
Nikon 70-200mm VR

Nice collection there Jz, I've been thinking to get 80-200mm - but I realise that this is pure lens lust, so I'll try to make do with my prime. How's the shooting with 80-200 @200mm f/2.8? do you need to use tripod or handhold is ok?

By the way I just took this with my 50mm 1.4 MF a few minutes ago. Bored, trying to make something really nice but didn't find anything.

Depending on the situation I do fine with these settings in dimmer light:

1/60, 400ISO, f/2.8 and it's snappy as 4311

Out in the open its all good.

Nice picture, with the 50mm you can take that picture of you headphones at 2.8 so it doesnt blur out the alessandro music series of you headphones, which are nice btw ahah.

No thanks, I'm a fan of 1.4 or less.

What's 4311?

I had the 80-200 once before it got stolen and you can easily use it without tripod in good light circumstances ofcourse. It's fairly heavy but it let's you keep it more stable as well. The 2.8 saves you in a lot of scenes as well.

To respond on some of you wanting to buy the 12-24 from Nikon, take a look at the Tokina 12-24. Performing really good and a lot cheaper.

So, four days into D40 ownership, the flash crapped out on me .

So, I went out today and picked up an SB-400, and I will exchange the camera with Sears when they get more in stock. Seems really odd though. I googled it and it seems I am not the only one to have had a flash stop firing... but it seems and though I am the first to have it happen so quickly.

so now that the D300 is out, has anyone here laid their hands on one yet? my D50 is still going strong and has more capabilities than my abilities can utilize but that doesn't mean that i can't drool over it.

Yay! One of my photos taken with that old Nikon is selected for Photo.net's Editor's Pick. Can you guess which one?
