Would a mirrorless Nikon camera be a good choice for a strictly landscape photography?
I have been doing research lately to find a good lens for landscape-milky way photography so the aperture need to be quite open to minimize star trails (keeping the shutter speed in less times). It also needs to be quite a wide lens to capture all of the milky way. I found a perfect lens for this, it's the Nikkor 1 10mm f/2.8 lens. It's only for the mirrorless camera. I don't own a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. I've used a DSLR in the past but I no longer have one. Would it be a good idea to pick up a mirrorless Nikon 1 camera? If so, which do you recommend as I can afford pretty much any Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras.
I've been concerned with one thing, that is the small sensor size on the mirrorless camera. Compared to a DSLR, the sensor is quite small. I'm not knowledgeable on sensors but I've heard bigger sensors = better light gathering abilities. Of course, I'll be doing milky way landscape photography so this is important for half the time as I'll be shooting in the dark. The other times, I'll be doing sunrise/sunset landscape photography. Megapixels don't matter much unless you want to make billboard sized print which I won't be doing.
Need comments on lens purchasing?
I was planning to get a cheap yet good lens as i'm a student, so i thought to buy nikkor 50mm f1.8G and that was around £140 inclufing PNP
what i really did, i bought:
1) Nikon Dx zoom Nikkor 55-200mm f4.0-5.6 AF-S VR IF G ED
2) Nikkor 50mm 1.8D
Did i make a good decision ir a bad one?
P.S. I don't mind focusing manually with 1.8D. What do you guys say?

Need to find aperture blades parts for my Nikkor damaged lens to replace
So my Nikon 18-105mm lens have fallen down and the aperture ring and blades need replacement. Nikon service is asking too much money and id rather watch 100.000 videos on youtube of lens fixing and do it myself than pay much money! What i need is the aperture part from another faulty Nikon lens that i'm gonna find at ebay to have them replace my current damaged aperture blades. I'm wondering what are the models that have the same aperture ring and blades part with Nikkor 18-105? My lens have 7 blades, so does the 18-55, but still i'm not sure if they are having the same part installed as they are different models. Any help?
NIKKOR LENS BROKEN APERTURE BLADES
So, i was unlucky enough to have my camera fell on the floor and seems that the aperture blades are either broken or unplugged from the lens, "dancing" inside them. I'm taking it to Nikon service but i'm wondering if the 2 year warranty can cover this damage. Can this be fixed? A guy told me that 99% it can't and the lens are useless! I'm really depressed with the damage, i don't even know if thats a serious matter or something mino that can be easily fixed, please help:/ Lens are Nikkor 18-105mm
Found a great deal on amazon, is it a scam?
From what I know, amazon seems pretty safe, I buy almost all my things from amazon. Is it possible to be scammed on amazon? There's a camera lens that I want to buy.
http://www.amazon.com/...393290912/
This usually goes for about 900 dollars used with the lens having a 6/10 shape, or missing parts
For a very good used lens, it usually goes for about 1100-1400
This guy is selling the lens Brand New with everything for 900 dollars to me. I have been waiting on a deal like this for over a year. Do you think I should?
Here is the listing. It says that it is being sold for 760 dollars, but when I contacted him, he said that it was a promotion, and the actual price he is selling is for 1200 dollars. He said that he will sell it to me for 900 since I told him that I was a student.

Added (1). He does offer a 29 day return policy, a full refund. I'm not sure if that will mean anything.
Added (2). I contacted him and he has a Gmail account. He asked me for my Full name and address so that he could contact amazon?

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 or nikkor 50mm f/1.4?
Which one should I buy? The 1.4 is much more expensive. I don't know if I should buy it if I don't get much difference from the 1.8. Which would you buy?
Will a Nikon F Lens works on a D600?
Tried Googling but can't seem to get a straight forward answer: will an F lens (in particular the NIKON NIKKOR H AUTO 1:3.5 28MM WIDE ANGLE LENS F FITTING) work with a d600 even if it is just in Manuel focus.
