Nikon dSLR Mousefesters

[Scottwdw]

I'll be bringing with me the following lenses to Mousefest...

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 DX
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 18-200mm VR f/3.5-5.6G DX
Nikon 80-400mm VR f/4.5-5.6D (only at AK; works on FX or DX bodies)

If you see me around and would like to try one of these lenses out for a few shots, just ask! Except for the monster zoom, I should have the other lenses with me at all times.

 

[Grumpwurst]

Don't worry, I'll probably ask

I think I'll be picking up the SB-600 this weekend

 

[scpergj]

Wish I was going to be there...I'd love to try out that Tokina 11-16!

Ya'll have fun! I am planning to be there next year, as long as my wife finds a new job in the next few months...

 

[Craig]

Very nice Scott!
Our two bags are almost identical (I'm only missing the tokina)

Ray- Let us know if you get the 600.

 

[Grumpwurst]

I am now the proud owner of the Nikon SB600.

 

[Scottwdw]

That's great, Ray! You'll going to enjoy it once you learn how to use it.

That's the key! I bought an SB800 last summer, and I think is has as many configuration options as my D70S.

 

[Grumpwurst]

My shots made major improvements just experimenting with bounce flash. I've left the flash compensation to whatever Scott set it to (I think -1.0)

 

[Scottwdw]

Yep, -1.0 is a great setting to start with. Just make sure your camera's flash compensation is set to 0.0 or they will accumulate on ya. When using a zoom lens, I've found I need to up the flash power because of distance at times.

Don't forget to check out Commander mode with your Nikon speedlights for even more creative uses.

I know not of what you speak of.

Or just drop the 4 plus bills on the 900.
