The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
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...- coolshot

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
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...- coolshot

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.- coolshot

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
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...- coolshot

how do I use subscriptions better?
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...- coolshot

Rebel XT or D40 or Other?
Personally I went with an XT body used and got an 18-55IS lens. I figured go cheapest body I could get and save for L glass. Once I have the glass I needed, I could get whatever XXD body was refreshed to.- coolshot

PPX3: Slam adapters and upgrades
a stock ppx3 is good for higher impedance phones like the HD650. Having a slam means greater flexibility with lower impedance phones. However i use my stock ppx3 with my 32ohm dt770 with solid results.- coolshot

What's with the bassheads?
bass helps you feel the music. Just like at a concert. Its a state of being where bass isn't a regularly experienced thing unlike vocals and 'most' of sound spectrum. I love Hip hop and techno, a lot of the 'musicality' comes from the beats pounding your chest( or in our case eardrums). I been...- coolshot
