AF-S hands down, the focus acquisition speed alone is worth it. I recently upgraded from an 80-200 AF-D to a second hand 70-200 AF-S VRI and am still marveling at it's focusing speed. I did want the 80-200 AF-S but it was more expensive lol!

Good effort for your first go :) Loving the orange hues and composition on #2. You obv have a eye for composition so now you just gotta master Photomatix and you'll have some stunning work. Here's a tip when using Photomatix - if your working with an image that contains bright sky (like most of...

Any chance of a link to where you got the conversion kit?

50 in your pocket and 70-300 on the camera ;) I find a zoom is always best at these events as you can get some great candids (food and people) without too much hassle. Have fun :)

I like it but find the back ground quite distracting, especially that white blob...

#1 is my fav; it's crisp with great lighting and has a sense of movement to it. #2 is a close second though, love the PP... reminds me of a PC game called Max Payne :)

Thanks for all the help! I think I'll start with double sided tape and take it from there :)

Hi all, I got a problem... The rubber grip that surrounds the zoom collar on my Nikon 80-200 f2.8 AFD has come totally loose. Any ideas how I might be able to re-stick it? I've read you can use either double sided tape or solvent free glue... anyone actually tried one of these? Any help...

@Richard - Makes sense. Would it therefore be fairer to say it's the Field Of View (in degrees) that is changed by the crop factor? edit - @Doog I'm not sure mate but I don't think so, it's just smaller.

Yeah I appreciate the markings are correct, just seems odd :shrug: And that is some mega vignetting!!

Just checking I understand it right... anything I get wrong please correct me ;) So if I bought a 17-55mm DX lens for a D7000 and a 17-55mm FX lens for a D700 and compared them next to each other, say one eye in the D7000 and the other eye in the D700, apart from looking like a moron they...

lol great idea for #4, a man after my own heart! And that's a nice selection of condiments too ;)

Love the idea for wk 4, maybe recompose it when we get a wildcard/reshoot week?

Hi again all :wave: First thanks loads for the comments above about all me pics so far, I've taken them all on board and am glad you all like/dislike them for your different reasons :thumbs: Personally I think my fox shot is my best yet but seeing as we're only on week 4 I'm hoping to top...

Style So for week 3 I snapped this pink graffiti stencil of a notorious fox just up the road from me. It's stylish in a design sense and I really like the bright pink paint against the grubby white tiles and gritty, dirty paving stones. I agree it's not a particularly pleasant scene to look...
