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??

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

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.

Canon 50D or 7D
Paman77
02.04.10, 08:57
In any case 7D is better that 50D - 18 MP is better than 14MP. If you need high speed shooting - up to 8 photos per second (p/s)7D is ideal solution.
If you not need speed shooting 60D or even 550D/600D will be best from "quality/price ratio" - they are cheaper than 7D. All these cameras have same 18MP sensors and Digic IV processor, different is speed p/s.
Best regards

advice for nice tripod
dh11-dawn
03.07.11, 11:41
I agree with Jürgen, though I would add that a quick release plate is essential and choose your tripod head carefully.
As to weight, I'd suggest you have something heavy to stabilise the tripod (I keep a plastic bag in my pocket which I fill with rocks and hang off the bottom, leaving the rocks behind when I move on) and utilise the self timer on the camera.

Tamron lens for D90?
Tam Ulriis
22.05.09, 10:43
The D90 has the older CMOS chip, see: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond90/36
Good ISO range will help with low light, but noise is marked above 1600 ISO. if your going to capture in JPG only, I'd stick with the Tamron, as the D90's in-camera JPEG compression is notably over soft.
With the extra two stops through the whole focal range, the Tamron will give you a way out in poor light, where the Nikon will push you into higher ISO settings and the world of digital noise and colour aberrations. Neither will you be able to produce good DoF bouquet with the Nikon as sweetly as with the Tamron.
I'd stick with the Tamron lens, as the budget Nikon lenses, (if it has a plastic mount ring, then the 18-105 is one of them) are built from very poor quality, we were always having to send them off for repair/replacement of the whole mount because the lugs snap off, and with Nikor parts replacement for budget range, it could take a few weeks and cost around £150.00 a pop. On top of this, the whole construction was flimsy and wears out very quickly and the lens focus looses accuracy and resolve. Even from new, the performance is poor, see: http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/nik ... _afs_n15/4
The 18-200+ lenses from most manufacturers all suffer from over-reach and poor performance, against the wide to mediums and the medium to tele, particularly those with slow maximum apertures like f3.5 or continuous focal range apertures.
Get yourself a 70 - 200 later maybe.

I recommend a ND4 Hard Grad filter. Buy a square one, P size. It's around 30 GBP incl. the plastic bits to screw it into your lens.

Need advice to buy my first SLR camera

They are all good.
Do you want a small plastic body (1100D, 550D, 600D)? Or a heavier magnesium-alloy body (60D, 7D, pro bodies)?
Do you want a fixed screen? Or a titlable screen (60D, 600D)?
The bigger ones have a better viewfinder, faster Autofocus, faster burst-rate.
Even some used ones (40D, 50D) maybe a very good choice.
Or a full-frame 5D, which is the cheapest option for full-frame DSLR photography (around 600 GBP) today.

lense for Nikon d60

If you shoot cityscapes with a tripod, any wide angle lens will do.
If you shoot people and scenery without flash and without a tripod, it will be some kinda 1.4 / 24 mm, 1.4 / 35 mm, 1.2 / 50 mm, 1.2 / 85 mm.

Wide angle telephoto for Canon 60D
MAURICE CLEGG
05.01.12, 17:29
In general i do not think highly of any such super zoom lenses.
Their quality is in general below average especially in the telephoto range.
As a walkaround lens they may have some value, however being used to top quality glass, i would not even want one if i got it for free !!
