canon to nikon switch! Still waiting on my 85mm 1.8 though.

ultimately, I love the 24-70 and 14-24, the nikon counterparts are better. I just don't have the money right now for both of those, along with a d700. Hell, I think 17-55 would be great too. I just happen to pick up the 16-85 because it came with the body for only 1829 from B&H. So I have an...

I just ordered a d300 w/16-85 kit and a sb900. Looking around I see a limited selection on FX compatible glass for around 1k on the tele end. If I was still with canon, I'd be looking at the 70-200 F4IS,135L or even a 24-105F4IS. There so much dead space on 'budget' constant aperture glass for...

Dj mocok has a running joke of posting really bad shots in this thread. Look back on all his picture posts and you will see what I mean. However, if you check his gallery, he has some nice shots. Its real night and day.

I am currently a canon user who is switching to nikon soon. Right now i'm in the research phase. First off I shoot with a canon xt, sigma 18-50ex 2.8 and 430ex speedlite. I interested in nikon's fx format, better metering and flash systems(CLS). If I was concerned with long primes or f4 zooms I...

is there an equivalent to the 100-400L for nikon?

looks like peter has 'L' fever. Also i think its unfair to compare a $400 sigma lens to $1200 'L' canon lens

nope its a 725B head/tripod combo. I plan on getting a BH-1 and Gitzo combo later down the line.

just got my sigma 18-50 macro. Here it is mounted on my XT body.

Hmm let me try going back to settings. It seems default on the forums goes to do not subscribe. *edit: got it to work! I set it to no email notification. thanks

On all other forums, if I post or start a new thread, it gets marked as subscribed. If there is a new post after mine, its gets put back onto my recent list. If I want to go back, I can look at my entire history subscriptions by clicking view all subscriptions. Is this feature available without...

the lite audio dac 60 is a tube dac. Have you tried rolling tubes?

the singlepower website hasn't been updated in years. There was a 'press release' of sort in the mall-fi section. However i think we lost it when head-fi crashed.

interesting, I noticed a headphone out jack. Its got still competition from the likes of lavry,benchmark, and oritek although those are SS designs.
