Most lenses sold as zooms (parfocals) actually aren't, either; they're "just" varifocals.

If you need that focal length and f/4 is cool for what you're doing, that lens is nothing short of amazing. It's surprisingly light, too.

spog posted:I'll look at bath slip tape/matting as it must be waterproof, therefore sweatproof. By grip tape I meant the stuff they put on hockey sticks. It works on handguns but might not on cameras, where you can't tape all the way around the grip.

Unless you use it professionally or buy collectibles, photo gear isn't really an investment.

There's the usual QC issues and the weird AF, but their lenses are well built (just not always well aligned).

On F3 It was no problem at all. The trick is to put the ciggie as close to the palm as you can. PS: get better cameras you fukken plebs

I don't think there's even a first party 2k mm lens from any manufacturer. Get a 70-300 and see how that goes on your entry level slr of choice.

Nikkor 80-200/2.8 is pretty good. Kinda depends on the range you'd like, and whether you want to stay at 2.8.

I'd get a 2 rings D but I hate push/pull on AF lenses. I own a Sigma 70-200/2.8 and I like it, but the D800 sensor really can use better optics. I just don't use it often enough that it bothers me (50/1.8 all day erryday).

35/2 all day erryday (but do tell us what you have).

Trambopaline posted:CPL filters's. I know the advice is generally the most expensive you can afford for your largest thread size, but is this in the territory of go large (as you can) or go home, or would I not be horrified with a cheapish Praktica branded CPL fliter? It's something I've been keeping on the to do list since I have noticed that I do indeed take a largeish amount of landscapes and a reasonable amount of water and want to get one since everyone insists it's a pretty critical piece of kit, but I'm not sure I want to drop 300 dollars on one.

Super PLD is the one that tests so well. I have two and love them but I've never owned another brand so heh.

The 85/1.8 is really kinda tight on APS-C but it's optically excellent. With some extension rings you could do basic macro.

17-40 has horrible corners at the wide end. 16-35 has merely bad corners at the long end.

Or sell the lenses and get a 35 mm f/1.8. The best Nikon lens ever.

I'd probably just use the hood whenever I'm not outside. It's pretty small (since it has to cover only enough for 17mm) so I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's nice to protect the front element from bumps though.

Don't buy huge filters if you don't need them (or plan to soon need them) because that poo poo's expensive.
