Catch the Holiday Spirit with Digital Cameras

June 30, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

51T2j1v840L. SL160  Catch the Holiday Spirit with Digital Cameras Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens + Hoya UV Haze Filter + Accessory Kit for Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D200, D300 & D5000 Digital SLR Cameras Kit includes: 1) Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Lens; 2) 6-Piece Cleaning Kit; 3) CapKeeper; 4) Hoya 52mm UV Protector Filter. ♦ Nikon 55-200mm includes: Caps; Hood; Soft Case; Instructions; Nikon USA Warranty. ♦ The Nikon 55-200mm is an ultra-compact 3.6X telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. Equivalent to a 82.5mm to 300mm telephoto zoom lens on a 35mm film camera, it is ideal for portraits, candids, sports, travel, wildlife, and nature photography. This versatile lens also has macro capability for impressive close-ups of smaller objects such as flowers. ♦ The 6-Piece Cleaning Kit includes: a deluxe air blower; lens cleaning liquid; soft exterior cleaning cloth; blower brush; cotton swabs; and a booklet of lens cleaning tissues. ♦ The CapKeeper 2 prevents lens cap loss with an adhesive-backed disc which conveniently attaches to the cap thereby securing it to an elastic band which easily attaches to your lens. ♦ Hoya UV Filters are made of highest quality optical glass and can be left on your lenses at all times — even when taking pictures. A filter prevents environmental damage to the delicate surface coatings of the lens; shields the front element from accidental scuffs and scratches; and in the event of impact, absorbs most of the force — which helps minimize damage to the lens’s filter threads. A UV filter enhances image quality by reducing the adverse effects of ultraviolet light which can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy and indistinct. ♦ This Nikon Lens-plus-necessities Kit will help give you the amazing portraits, candids, travel, sports, wildlife and nature photos you’ve always wanted.
Customer Review: What a deal

Digital Camera Vs. Film - Pros And Cons

June 29, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

31V895M0CGL. SL160  Digital Camera Vs. Film   Pros And Cons Nikon 24mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras 24mm D-Series Wideangle lens for Nikon cameras
Customer Review: Surprising Good Prime Lens
I was quite surprised of the close focusing capability of the lens on my Fuji S3 Pro, as well as the relative lack of distortion. The product was delivered on time at a good price.
Customer Review: Great Wide Normal Choice for a Digital Camera
When used on a Nikon D300 that applies a 1.5 multiplying factor to the length (this 24mm acts like a 36mm on a DX sensor), this lens is clear, collects lights well, and is extremely sharp. This is a great walk-around lens for scenery, touring, quick crowd shots, and snapshots. With this lens, if you can get the shot quickly and in focus, you will have something that can be easily edited (expecially cropped) in a photo-editing program. Highly recommended as a basic “on the camera all the time” lens.

How Digital Cameras Work?

It’s ideal for portraits, candids, sports, travel, wildlife, and nature photography. This versatile lens also has macro capability for impressive close-ups of smaller objects such as flowers. It features Vibration Reduction to provide sharper, blur-free pictures at shutter speeds as much as 4 stops slower than one could ordinarily handhold. ♦ The Nikon SLR Gadget Bag will easily hold your camera, lenses, flash and accessories. Front and side pockets allow easy access to hoods, memory cards and batteries. Movable dividers provide individual customization for your equipment. ♦ The spare replacement EN-EL9 Rechargeable Battery will enable you to shoot twice as much — for twice as long. This spare battery will enable repeated high-speed shooting, more flash shots, frequent image review and playback without worrying whether you will have enough power to get all the shots you want. ♦ The Photo & Video Tripod extends up to 57″ and collapses down to 22″. Its quick-release camera plate allows switching to hand-held shooting in just seconds. A tripod is lots of fun because it lets you get in the picture — but it’s also an indispensable device to take the sharpest photographs possible. ♦ This Nikon AF-S 55-200mm VR Lens plus Accessories Kit is a value-packed addition for your D40, D40x or D60 Camera.
Customer Review: Great lens/case deal
So I admit I was apprehensive, especially since the package is $10-20 more than the lens itself. But the seller sent it quick and it contained all new pieces (i.e., the lens did come with hood and semi soft case) exactly as advertised. The case is perfect for a starter kit (fits body, 18-55 and 55-200 with room), and the tri-pod was a nice bonus (albeit quite flimsy).
Customer Review: Fantastic.
I ordered this Tuesday night, and it received it Friday (with regular shipping). Very fast.
It came with way more than what I had expected, and everything is brand new.

Guide to buying a digital camera

June 28, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

31ApxNjzNxL. SL160  Guide to buying a digital camera Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD VC (Vibration Compensation) Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Camera shake can ruin your photos, particularly when taking telephoto shots or shooting in low light conditions. This Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 macro zoom lens, however, fights camera shake with its state-of-the-art vibration compensation (VC) mechanism, which delivers blur-free handheld images for incredible results. The proprietary VC mechanism employs a three-coil system that moves the VC lens electromagnetically based on signals originating from the movement of three steel balls. The lens element that compensates for vibration is held in place by the balls, so there is little friction and the movement is quite smooth. The end result is a technology that makes it possible to create exceptional images at slower shutter speeds under conditions where a tripod used to be necessary. You can also use subject movement to good effect with the lens, bringing out the contrast between motion and stillness, or shoot without a flash to evoke the genuine atmosphere of the scene.

The lens covers an extremely broad range of focal lengths, from a wide 28mm length to a super-telephoto 300mm length (the 35mm equivalent of 43 to 465mm). Even better, the vibration compensation works throughout the entire zoom range, giving you the freedom to create a wide variety of different images. Other details include a macro magnification ratio of 1:3, a rotational zoom, a minimum focusing distance of 19.3 inches, and a 67mm filter diameter. The lens, which measures 3.06 inches in diameter and 3.9 inches long, carries a six-year warranty.
Customer Review: Great lens
I shot over 250 picts with this lens in Moab, UT. Great results. Many folks complained about the lens fully extending when held in down position unless the lock is used. Yes, it does extend, but it wasn’t a problem, since after reading the reviews, I was prepared for it.
Customer Review: Buying this with caution and testing…or you will regret this!
I own this for 6 months…had a great time travelling with this and my D700 Nikon camera.
PRO: satisfied that this lens is not as sharp as prime lenses, however, it is a general purpose walk about lens.
Con:
* camera and lens combination is heavy. Went to Beijing, carried it for 2 days, and used my G9 on third day. When back to this combination again on fourth day. alternating.
*after 6 months, I found that there was something wrong with the sharpness of the lens. Nikon service center tested to see if my camera had problem with focusing, and found that this lens had front focusing problme.
*went back to agent: tried two other lenses- replacement focused then blurred. Had exchanged the first lens when I found that the zoom was not smooth..at about 250mm, the barrel appears to have a slight jam.
*grey set: dont ever get a grey set for this lens. You will regret it, although the price could be $100 cheaper! You will get endless problems solving your lens problem.

For Strict Vigil Buy CCTV Digital Cameras

June 28, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

511bxYhDWdL. SL160  For Strict Vigil Buy CCTV Digital Cameras Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR Sigma’s 18-50mm EX series macro lens is specially designed for Nikon digital SLR cameras with a minimum focusing distance of 20 cm (7.9 inches), making it suitable for a wide variety of subjects. The lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, along with a maximum magnification of 1:3 for close-up macro photography. The interior, meanwhile, incorporates both glass-mold and hybrid aspherical lens technology to deliver superior peripheral brightness and extremely high image quality. Add in Special Low Dispersion (SLD) and Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ESD) glass elements and you have a lens that can correct all types of color aberrations while providing a high level of optical performance at every interval.

The lens also offers a super multilayer lens coating that reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem among many digital cameras. Users will also appreciate the inner focusing system, which provides a fast autofocus speed while preventing the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for use with circular polarizing filters and the petal-shaped lens hood (included). The Sigma 18-50mm lens–which measures 3.1 inches in diameter and 3.4 inches long–weighs only 15.9 ounces and carries a one-year warranty.
Customer Review: Decent, but not great
Been using this lens for about a week now. Overall performance is Ok. The photos come out fairly sharp. However, when I switch over to my canon 50mm 1.8, the sharpness is way better than this lens. For more than 3x the cost, I would expect it to be close comparison, but I definitely love the sharpness of my 50mm a lot more. The other thing is that there is no IS on this. I gave my sister to take pictures and most came out to be blurry because I suppose she did not have steady hands. I also noticed that some of my shots were blurry due to the non-IS. If you have sure hands and steady, then this is a decent lens to have. I was shooting children and babies, so had to move around quite a bit, and the results were not good. The focus is not as fast as I would like either. I did like the fact that it came with a hood and a nice case. I really would like something as sharp as my 50mm that can zoom wide angles. I think I will be returning this one. Before this lens, I was using the canon 17-85mm IS USM. I’m spoiled by the IS and really feel unless Tamron or Sigma has that technology in their lens, I wont be switching over.
Customer Review: Just the lens I needed
This is a solid well made lens, f2.8, 7inch close focus approximate 1:3. I would like the lens shade to fit a little tighter. The pictures are great.

Choosing the Right Digital Camera

June 27, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

31hxQOcMC6L. SL160  Choosing the Right Digital Camera Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras The Tamron SP AF70-200mm R/2.8 Di LD [IF] Macro for Nikon AF Mount is the newest in Tamron’s long line of high quality lenses. This light weight ultra fast telephoto zoom lens has a maximum aperture of f:2.8. No matter where you zoom, this lens will retain this fast aperture, great for low light or sports photography. The built in macro feature of this lens gives great close up capabilities with a magnification ration of 1:3.1. Designed to use on both full frame and APS sized sensors and constructed with 18 lens elements in 13 groups you will be able to product razor sharp images no matter what camera body you use. Attach the included tripod mount for enhanced balance and stability. Feature packed, this lens comes standard with lens hood, case, and Tamron’s unsurpassed 6 year manufacturers warranty.
Customer Review: Better than an OEM Lens
I have had this lens for almost 4 months on my Sony A700 and A100. The first place I used it was on vacation in Yellowstone Park. Even in dead of a Wyoming winter with temperatures around 6 degrees Fahrenheit this lens did not fail me. The image quality was superb with no light falloff after F5.6. Even wide open the close crops the middle of the image are sharp with excellent resolution. Focusing with the Sony screw drive was as quick as any of my other lenses. In low light at 200mm (that’s a 300mm equivalent with the 1.5x crop factor) it did hunt a bit but no slower than my other lenses. For event photography the F2.8 is fantastic. I was able to capture usable images at all the weddings I have shot with this lens. All in all this is my favorite go to lens for general purpose location photography. The nicest thing about this lens is that the length remains constant throughout the zoom range. I recommend getting a monopod for any extensive shooting. Mounted to an A700 the total weight is about 4.5 pounds. It is hand holdable and with Sony’s Super Steady Shot you will get excellent images. But you will get a sore shoulder after a full day of carrying this setup.
Customer Review: Tamaron for Sony 5-15-09
I had some questions about this lens in the Sony Mount so I contacted Tamaron and they told me they have not released the Sony mount Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens for Sony Digital SLR Cameras yet. And that these available on Amazon are Grey Market lenses Hence the Focusing issues just thougt I would give you the Heads up I will wait for the real Genuine ones to come out..

Underwater Digital Cameras

21HM382KPVL. SL160  Underwater Digital Cameras NIKON BF-1A SLR Body Cap for Lens Mount Cap covers lens mount area on a Nikon SLR body
Customer Review: Small, but important
Small part, but I buy them to have the right fitting on my lenses, often bought used. Good vendors carry smaller items like these.
Customer Review: Useful as a lid and not only
If you frequently swap lenses and have a lot of gear to carry in a backpack and prefer to transport your camera bodies without attached lenses, get some spare body mount caps because they might prove invaluable in some conditions. The plastic is well finished and very well manufactured and fits well into the mount for perfect protection.
Another thing you might consider is using this baby as a pinhole device support if you intend to explore a bit this area of creative photography, which, believe me, is full of fun.

Have You Read Your Digital Camera Manual?

June 26, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

41WZoVgeAVL. SL160  Have You Read Your Digital Camera Manual? Precision Design 0.25X Super AF Fish Eye Lens for Film & Digital SLR Lenses by Canon EOS, Minolta Maxxum, Nikon AF, Pentax AF, Sigma, Sony Alpha & Tamron This .25x fisheye lens achieves extremely wide angles of view by foregoing a rectilinear image to give fisheye images their characteristic convex appearance. Don’t confuse this .25X quality Precision Design optic with a .35X/.42X/.45X… Panoramic…Super Wide Angle… Semi Fisheye…Titanium… Crystal Optics type lenses whose rear elements unscrew to be used as macro lenses. They cannot even approach delivering a high quality 180 degree field of view. The all-glass high resolution optics of the Precision Design .25x Super Fish Eye is manufactured in Japan and has been engineered to do one thing and do it well; reduce the focal length of a lens by .25X to provide an amazing fish eye view. Depending on the camera model and lens it’s mounted upon, the image can cover the entire frame edge to edge or provide a circular image fully contained within the frame. Mounted to a zoom lens, the Precision Design .25X can often offer ultra wide angle, diagonal fisheye (full frame) and circular fisheye images. Close focusing is almost to the front of the optic and there’s huge depth of field. The .25X can be a great tool for real estate agents or for just having fun! If you plan on doing panoramic or full room shots, just stand your tripod in a corner facing the center of a room. It can capture almost EVERYTHING, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, except what is directly behind the camera. Just import the resulting image into a panoramic editor/ stitching program (your digital camera probably came with one), convert it to a QuickTime VR file, and have a virtual view of the room. The Precision Design .25X is the affordable fisheye optic for useful, unusual and fun pictures you otherwise wouldn’t be able to obtain ♦ WILL WORK WITH ANY LENS WITH A FILTER SIZE OF 49mm, 52mm, 55mm & 58mm (All 4 rings included) which includes most Nikon, Canon, Minolta Maxxum / Sony Alpha, Pentax, Tamron, Sigma, Tokina and other major brand lenses.
Customer Review: A Good Start
A fisheye can lend itself to some really unique ways of looking at things. I was really excited to get one. So excited that I couldn’t wait to save up for a $600 fisheye lens. I ordered this attachment with the understanding that it is a temporary thing until I can practically invest in a real fisheye lens.

Customer Review: Great Lens
This lens is the BEST! I can get about 2 inches from my subject and still focus! the auto focus doesn’t work with the Nikon D40 because it needs AF-S, but I am fine with using manual focus. Truly, I don’t care about the inability to zoom. Overall a great lens.
Customer Review: I’m a prime kind of girl…
In my bag of camera tricks, I have 3 prime lenses, and this lens is by far on my camera the most.
I shoot with a Nikon D80, and this lens compliments my camera very well. The macro is amazing, and ultra sharp; but I also love what it can do for portraits. I recently did some family portraits with this lens, and they turned out beautifully!
It might be pricey, but it is so worth it. I promise you wont be disappointed!
