Which macro lens is suitable for nikon D7000?
I'm planing to buy a macro lens for nikon D7000… I'm quite confused that which one I should get to get extreme closeups! So close that i can see the hairs of insects on their body… I have heard of canon MP-E65mm which does ultimate job… But i need little help in nikon. Can AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED compete with canon MP-E65… And this canon lens has 5 times magnification than nikon… How does it affect actual quality…
Best Nikon/Canon lenses with these features?
I'm looking to purchase an affordable wide angle or fisheye lens some time in the near future, and I wanted some opinions as to which I should get. I was originally going to go with a 35mm or 50mm prime and just get a cheap $50 adapter/lens, but I hear those are very unsatisfactory when it comes to quality. Here's what I'm looking for:
-The lens will be mounted onto either a Canon T4i or a Nikon d5100 (You may leave suggestions for either)
-I'm not into an extreme fisheye look (take the Rokinon 8mm 2.8 or the Nikkor 10.5mm 2.8 for example, that's a bit too much of the fisheye effect for me), but I love those really wide angles and a perhaps touch of the fisheye look
-Auto-focus is a feature I'd really love to see the lens having, as I'm not the best with manual focus and I want this lens mainly for video taking (I LOVE the look of the Rokinon 14mm 2.8 but the downfall is that it's all manual, but still perhaps my best choice right now)
-But, I also want it to be affordable, I don't think I'm quite ready and willing to spend more than $500-600 on one lens
-I'm totally okay with prime lenses but in my dream world I'd love a zoom lens
Again, I wouldn't be surprised if there were lenses out there that met my wishes, but I could see those becoming very expensive very fast. But if you know of any lenses that meet even a few of the things I listed, it would be great if you could suggest them!
Will the SIGMA 70-300mm OS VR Vibration Reduction work on my Nikon D60?
Will the SIGMA 70-300mm OS VR Vibration Reduction work on my Nikon D60? I need it for fast paced boat racing that is far away. WOuld this lens work? And Auto focus with my D60?
I need a zoom lens for my Nikon D60 that will work with Action Photography?
Ok so I used to have a 55-200mm zoom lens which broke so I'm looking to upgrade. I have a Nikon D60 and was thinking about 70-300mm? Would that be good for sports? Specifically far away shots of fast moving racing boats?
Also I found this lens online… Is this a good deaL? Will it autofocus on my D60?
I'm not sure what all of the letter combinations mean. I mean VR is Vibration Reduction but thats about it ( AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED).
Thanks everyone!

Nikon D5000 Live View /Video Mode feature issues?
When in video mode although I'm getting an image that I can see well enough on my cameras live view it is not truly giving me an image on screen that correlates to the cameras current settings as with say a Canon 7D or 5D.
Example, if I were standing outside my house at noon and have the iris wide open and an iso setting of 1600, looking at the screen everything will looks fine even though that really would result in a completely over exposed image. Is there a way to adjust the 'Live View" settings so that you are getting a true representation of the image you would capture at the cameras current settings? Or am I asking to much from a consumer level camera?
Question 2 or really question 1a
When in video mode, I can record a clip with my iso set at 200 but the resulting video clip will look the same as when I set my iso to 1600 capturing the same scene? It seem that the only latitude adjustment I have is by stopping down on the lens itself.
is there a way to adjust this or is it, once again, just the limitations of a consumer level dslr?
Thank you for any help, tips, pointers or responses
Added (1). It seems I'm getting responses that pertain to photography when nowhere in my question or the question header did I ask a photography question. I'm familiar with the principles of photography however both of my questions are specific to the NIkon D5000 and the picture you get in the LCD while in VIDEO MODE…
---UPDATE-- for anyone else out there who has this camera ( and is shooting VIDEO with it) I have found the answer. Although the camera lets you think you are making adjustments to the ISO and Shutter Speed due to the fact the numbers/settings change you are not in fact changing those settings. The camera automatically determines the necessary values and applies them. The only adjustment you can make is 1) the iris and 2) to use the AE-L/AF-L lock button and point the camera to a lighter or darker area of your location and then lock the exposure the camera sets itself to. It is in fact just a limitation of the Nikon D5000. I'm assuming they resolved this on the D5100 and hi
NIKON d3100, d3200, d5000, d5100?
Out of these four, which of these would be best for me?
I was into dslrs about a year or 2 ago, i had a canon xsi for my first camera, then moved on to a nikon d5000 which was awesome, but sold it, and now want to get back in again.
help please, i'm somewhat a beginner to average shooter, I mainly shoot just general stuff but somtimes automotive/lanscape stuff. But in general,
i just want a dslr that i would have fun with and keep a long time to learn on more.
Is a canon 450D worth buying now?
I'm doing a college course this year for photography - it's a two year course and requires a DSLR. I'm heavily on the fence over what to buy though, If I wanted to I could save for a few months and get a Nikon D5100/D7000 or I could just get a Canon 450D like now for much much much cheaper and buy lenses. I know you can't even compare a 450D to newer cameras but there's so many I can't really decide whether it's even worth getting a newer one.realistically as soon as I progress and finish college I'll need to go beyond the beginner range of cameras anyway. Any ideas?
Where to find cheap DSLR Nikon lens?
I'm searching for new Nikon lens. I have a D3000.It can be a used or refurbished one. But please list other than Amazon and Ebay.
Nikon strobist equipment, what off camera flash could I do with this?
This is stuff my friend and I have:
(1) 50mm 1.8G
(2) 35mm 1.8G
Nikon D7000 (has commander mode)
Nikon D3200 (has 24 megapixels with 12 bit raw files)
Nikon D5000, might sell it for more stuff though
(1) SB-600
(1) SB-80DX (my friend's really old speedlight that he never uses)
(2) Cowboy Studio Wireless Triggers
(-) big white cardboard (reflector)
A bunch of basic tripods, maybe use as stands for mounted equipment?
Lastly… 2 amateur photographers.
As you can see we don't really have much but wondering what equipment I can get to bounce off light like umbrellas. I don't know about the SB-80DX, maybe can be used as a slave? It is more powerful than the SB-600.
Added (1). Need softboxes too.
Added (2). @AskKan lol thanks
I have seen this tripod in a shop next to our house:
http://www.hama.co.uk/004214/hama-traveller-compact-pro-tripod
Are Hama tripods any good? My budget is a bit tight so Manfrotto tripods are out of question.
I'm not doing anything professional but I'll be doing seascape and long exposure photography mostly. My cameras are Nikon D7000 and Canon 7D. The max.height of the tripod is 163cm and my own height is 178cm so is it ok that it doesn't reach my eye-level? Thanks.
Added (1). Crim Liar: It's an electronic shop and I asked them. They don't know anything about tripods, brands or qualities. This is why I'm asking about it here.
