Where's a reputable place to buy Nikon lens parts? The AF motor on my 18-200mm AF-S VR lens died in a rainstorm that I got caught in during an airshow a year ago, haven't bothered to fix it yet, but after going on 2 trips without it I kind of miss it as a travel lens because of the versatility. When tight DOF control and immaculate optics aren't needed it's really nice to have.

Honestly Ebay / Aliexpress / Amazon is going to be your best bet.

Its not a D lens right? AF is indeed in the lens not the body of camera?

I wish there was a cheaper tier to keep the 1TB of storage... I'm totally cool with paying for a service, but I don't like the only two options being the top tier service, and a severely limited free service... why can't we have some middle ground?

[Wschnitz]

Meh I paid for Pro, $5 a month or $4 a month if you still can use the $20 off coupon for a year.

When you compare that 1-2TB of storage costs 60-80$ a year anywhere else its reasonable. Im hoping SmugMug makes the community aspect of Flickr take off again.

I did already delete 3200 pictures though to clean my flickr up, next is making proper albums and tags.

im in LOVE with the Tamron 28-75mm,

not in love with the amount of dick sucking im going to have to do to buy it faster...

[Wschnitz]

Yeah believe they are called 'gooseberry falls' and we are going there, will bring my 50mm and 10 stop to try and get some cool exposures.

The Tamron came, went out and shot today since it was nice and to get the hang of the lens, its definitely way nicer then i expected from a 3rd party lens that wasnt a sigma art. Now im hoping they make a 70-200 so I can buy this and a 70-200 in the same style and quality.

Moon was out so astro didn't really work out, but I think the lens definitely has the potential to work for astro if I want.

Its 10x sharper then my 50mm, which should be obvious but the 50mm has to be stopped to like F4 to actually be sharp, starting around f2.2

Im in love.

Going to Duluth next weekend, Kinda hoping the weather is shit and I can get some cool pictures of waves near the lighthouse.

The reason I kind of recommend it over the others is that its supposed to be a great Astro lens for Crop Cameras.

Tele's are fine until you stitch yet another landscape photo and start to get sick of it.

Haha a lot of the photos I recently took in Germany were stiches. Streets too narrow to move back in and churches way too big to fit in one frame.

Yeah its a Nikon D7100 that I picked up last year. Sigma 18-35 is what has stood out to me. Maybe I'll try to rent it for a weekend and then decided. It'll be a big change shooting wide as I have become so used to my 85 haha.

I don't see my self upgrading bodies for while so getting a crop lens is no biggie to me.

[Wschnitz]

For Nikon you have a few options for Crop.

14-24 $$$$$$$$$$
16-35 F4 $$$$$
Tokina 16-28 F2.8 $$
Sigma 18-35 F1.8 $$$ (actually really good from what i hear)

[Wschnitz]

Because of crop you probably want something like a 16-35 or similar

hes nikon crop

I find the 24-105F4 I have to be very useful and can be had for really cheap money for L glass but it is a bit slow for dark indoor work with out extra lighting. I would be ok with a 24-70 as I dont normally shoot much below 20mm anyway and tend to hang around in the 28-40 range. Unless of course its a wide landscape or Auroras then I break out the old 17-35 F2.8...

What is your corp, is it a XXD or D7(MKII) or 1 of the rebel variants, Sensor tech and resolution will help you make a better choice for this kinda thing if your trying to stay away from using a lot of fill flash all the time inside
