DannyJS Loc: St. Helena Island
 
Hi, I'm Danny from St. Helena Island in the South Atlantic.
I've been in to photography for a number of years & from 2003 until a month ago, was shooting on a Konica Minolta A2 bridge camera. I have recently bought new kit consisting of Nikon D5100 body, Sigma 18 - 250 DC OS HSM lens extra battery & a (non-genuine) Battery Grip. Anyone else using the above combination of camera & lens?
Cheers,
Danny.

Welcome Danny! Glad to have you with us. Sounds like a good combo. I have a Nikon D300s and way to many lenses. I favorite one right now is the 28-300. Show us a few shots.

Hi and thanks for the feed-back. Just would like to know thoughts on the Sigma 18-250 Lens; - it had pretty good reviews in a recent photography mag, but found it a bit "soft" when trying a few landscape shots. . . . perhaps I should try taking the aperture down to around f11 at 100 ISO???

Hi, thanks for the welcome. This truly is a world-wide group of enthusiasts.
What camera are you using? As I mentioned, Ive just bought the Nikon D5100, but the weather here is still horrible; (overcast, misty & foggy), so haven't gotten out with it much; want to get some landscape shots.
