Are there any cheap Tilt/shift lens that can work with a Nikon DSLR?
I was wondering if there are any third-party brands that have T/S lens for Nikon's?
I want something similar to the 85mm f/2.8 TS lens: http://www.nikonusa.com/...F2.8D.html" class='ext_link'>http://www.nikonusa.com/...F2.8D.html but it's far too much for my budget, which only max is $700.
I'm willing to use Manual Focus lens.
Oh and no, I don't want any "converter" lens, like the lens baby's TS converter either.
Added (1). Brokellebabeezz,
I'm amost positive you don't understand my question. Nikkor lens are made for Nikons… And so are other lens, like Tamron and Sigma…
Added (2). I think I have found one, but if anyone could help me find where to buy it: http://www.amazon.com/...B004URU9DW" class='ext_link'>http://www.amazon.com/...B004URU9DW

Already have a Nikon 35-135ED AF and a 70-300ED AF and a Micro Nikkor 60AF. Open to suggestions regarding rounding out my lens bank. Shoot people mostly in the studio but sometimes indoors and landscapes.
I have never shot with a "non zoom" lens. (Forgive my terminology, I'm a beginner) Is it difficult to adjust? I want this lens because I'm into macro photography, bt never having shot with one of these lenses makes me a little nervous, and I don't want to spend money on something I will have difficulty using.
Any tips?
Or similar lens suggestions that "zoom" but are similar to the 60mm?
Here's my dilemma. I purchased the 55-300. Now looking back I think that maybe I should have purchased the 70-300, being only like $180 more expensive. What do you guys think? Should I return it and get the 70-300mm?
What is reproduction ratio on telephoto lenses?
I'm looking at an AF-S NIKKOR 28-300 f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and it says that the reproduction ratio is.32x while the zoom ratio is at 10.7x. I'm confused as to what reproduction ratio is. I understand zoom, but what does reproduction ratio tell me?
For years I have been advising my Nikon owner students to stick with Nikon glass and they would never go wrong. But recently I have had a chance to get my hands on both a Sigma lens and a Tamron lens and the quality seems first rate as do the images from DSLR. And the price vs a similar Nikon lens was about a third less. May I please have some opinions regarding these and other non-oem lenses vs oem Nikon? I would appreciate it.
How to use a micro four-thirds cameras with my Nikon lenses?
I'm looking at getting a micro four-thirds camera, and I'd like one that doesn't require me to buy new lenses if possible, since it's mostly going to be a back-up for my Nikon DSLR. They're all Nikkor lenses, and Nikon doesn't make a micro four-thirds, so I know I can't use them directly, but is there an adapter I could use with a specific camera?
Is it worth to invest money into good (professional) camera lenses? I would like to buy the Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8.
The situation in Europe is worse every day and I don't want to keep my savings in EUR.
How much (years) a lens keep it's value?
Added (1). @joedlh Yes. Thank you for your answer. I need the 105mm because I'm passionate about macro photography. Altough, I don't agree with better lenses comes out. Nikon not always make better lenses. Sometime older lenses worth more in value.
Added (2). B.E. I Thank you! I appreciate your suggestion! I want to treat them with the biggest care, protect the lenses with UV filters all the time and I don't use the lenses in bad weather.
Added (3). ---
I don't necesarry want the value to raise over time. I just want the lens to keep the value for at least 10 years.
More suggestion is appreciated.
