Larry Abruzzo 28.03.11, 10:10
See Nikon Lens Compatibility for more. Look in the G and the AF-S columns; you get the least of the features mentioned. Nikon 70-300mm VRThe 70-300mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens made by Nikon. The lens has an F-mount to work with all the SLRs line of cameras

Camera backpack for international travel

masashi 03.06.13, 08:23
I'm planning to visit southeast Asia for at least one month in a couple of months and since I will be working on a particular project I will be bringing more equipment than just my 'travel set'. My shooting style will be a mix of architectural work with longer setups and some street shooting and I am therefore looking for a good camera bag that needs to able to do the following:

- be carry-on sized for plane travel
- hold 2 dslr bodies (5DmkII, 7D)
- hold 4-5 lenses (TS-E17, 70-200/4, 50/1.4, 16-35)
- have a tripod mount that allows access to the gear with the tripod still attached (in most cases side mounted)
- have an excellent support system for long walks in the tropical Asian heat

Things that I would like to see but that aren't deal breakers:

- carry up to a 15" laptop
- easy access to the gear without the need to completely take off the bag
- be a reasonable daypack with storage for things like jackets and other camera-unrelated things
- doesn't stand out too much
- be weather resistant
- not break the bank ($300 or below would be nice)

So far i have looked into the Lowepro Pro Trekker 300/400, Flipside 300/400, Vertex 200/300, Rover Pro 35/45; the ThinkTank StreetWalker HardDrive; the Gura Gear Bataflea and Kiboko (what's the difference, really?) and some bags by Clik, a brand I haven't heard of before.

If you have experience with any of these bags, know another bag that would fit my requirements and/or have experience with any of the shooting situations I just described I would love to hear your opinion on this. I'm also open to any other ideas of how to travel with my gear and what kinds of luggage to bring besides a camera bag.

Suggest a good camera

Sheperson 30.07.09, 15:38
Don't forget about the lenses! Make sure to keep some budget left to buy some extra lenses after a while.
Starting out with a kitlens is fine, as it gives you a chance to explore what type of photography you want to do.
But in the end it's a shame to buy a good camera and put mediocre glass on it.

As for camera's, there's plenty of good ones. If you want a canon, try to find a 550D, it's cheap and still as good as their newest entry DSLR's.

Telephoto lens for CMOS

Joni Autio 05.05.12, 19:49
The sensor doesn't matter as much as the lens. As long as you don't push the ISO too high, you won't be able to tell it was taken with a "bad" camera. A cheap camera with a good lens will give you better results than a good camera with a cheap lens.

What's your budget and what are you planning to use it for?

Prashant Pandey 27.05.12, 17:34
Macro photography (or photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography) is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects

Sao Paolo StreetArt

Ryijin 26.10.12, 18:05
I suggest that in the >COM forums you use the English language.
If you want to use German, then please do so in the .DE forums.

Many members of .COM will not be able to participate if German is being used.

Nikon UT-1 - what the hell is it for??

Stephen Hyde 21.09.12, 12:26
It's an ethernet port... The WT-5 only transfers files wireless, here you can connect the camera to an ethernet port of your computer. So you get a much faster connection...

At the german website you'll find some informations and tech specs...

Nikon 12 - 24 mm, Tokina 12 - 24 mm, Sigma 10 - 20 mm, Tamro

Marc Schlueter 23.02.07, 16:40
I own TWO (!) Tamron 11-18 z(for Nikon and Sony) - because you get used ones at about 200 Pounds.

They are far from perfection, but they do the job.

Far more important than the lenses are the light, the idea, the composition.
