I would get a d7000 or d7100 as a back up. A crop body can be fun to have sometimes. I have a d800e and a d7000, last night I put my 300mm on the crop body and was able to shoot the NY Giants at 450mm. I use the 7000 (about $350.)with 18-200 vr (about $350.) for all my family stuff. This also allows me to hand that to my wife to use and she does not touch my d800e. For the full frame d800e body I use manual focus lens made by Zeiss, Voigtlander and Nikon, mostly for macro and landscapes.
I would not buy a second full frame body only to leave one unused unless I was do this for a living.

I shoot a Nikon D610 and love it. There's hardly a week that goes by that I'm not out shooting with it. On occasion, we take road trips to warmer climates, which provide even more opportunity for me to "go shooting".

For a long while, I've given thought to acquiring a second body, but this has not been an easy decision for me. Questions that come to mind during my thoughts:

- Do I really need a second body?
- What if, on a road trip, my D610 malfunctions?
- Will a less expensive cropped sensor model work okay?
- Should I pursue another D610? D700? D600?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on the subject. Your justification for the second body? Your justification for the model you purchased?

Guess I just have a little GAS and trying to find a remedy.

Thanks.

Frist I love gear, and the research that goes into it.
I love to shoot.
I love and hate to PP because I usually take too many shots and it is hard to get to it all. I do find every worthwhile photo needs a little something.
I miss film sometimes, I come back from vacations with 2000-3000 photos.
I shoot to please others by pleasing myself first. Everyone likes to hear nice comments about their work.

I have been shooting some film and am looking for advice on the best (easy and not too expensive) labs to send it to for developing. This would be for Fuji Velvia 50 slide film and Kodak TX B+W as well as Kodak Portra 400 Color Film. I have an Epson 4990 scanner and am hoping to convert the results to digital for post processing. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks!

Many (many) years ago I owned several film slr's Konica, Canon, Minolta. I honestly don't remember much about them. I did a lot of my own B&W processing. Being a bio major i had access to dark rooms at the university.
Now I am thinking about dabbling in film processing again since I have the room and time. And, I love B&W.
Lots of cameras out there. I currently own Nikon DSLR's, 3300 and 7000.
I think with some Fotodiox adapters I could attach my lenses to a Canon (and other film cameras)
What, in your collective wisdom and experience are good film cameras that might fulfill my current needs.
Probably will be shooting architecture, buildings, cemeteries, ghosts.
Thanks

Beautiful!

You will not go wrong getting this lens. I've had one for a couple of months now and will hardly take it off my camera! I have the Nikon 24-70 2.8 and feel the Sigma is every bit as sharp plus it has VR plus it has better range. A no brainer in my opinion. The 24-70 does focus a bit faster due to the 2.8 vs. 4 but I don't shoot speed with a lens in this range anyway. It is perfect for portraits and landscapes. I recently took it to Colorado and used it 70% of the time. The other 30% was divided between a Nikon 28-300, and a Nikon 16-35. Here are a couple of shots straight out of the camera with no enhancements.

IMO a 36MP camera deserves "primes" as a consideration. For landscapes, I like the Zeiss 21mm and the Voigtlander 40mm. I like the Nikon 55mm AI-S for macro. I don't take portraits but would use the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 and Zeiss 135mm F/2.

The Twelve elements have been defined as necessary for the success of an art piece or image. Any image, art piece, or photograph will reveal some measure of all twelve elements, while a visually superior example will reveal obvious consideration of each one.

I took sixty five photos and aranged them in PS CC
Nikon d800e
Nikon 300mm pf
Gitzo tripod
Manual exposure
Exposure delay mode 3 sec.
Downloaded a spiral from Google images and place each file (after crop) on the spiral with the opacity at 50%. Use the eraser (the size of the moon) on each layer to remove any overlap of the black sky. (i.e. select layer 5 and put the eraser over the moon in layer 4 to erase the overlap) Left the black sky uncropped in layer one to complete the background.

This is on Long Island, I use a tripod and a nodal rail for panoramas, this keeps the back of the lens over the center of the ball head to reduce the curves. I have a chart for the degrees to move the camera on the ball head depending on the focal length. Here are some video instructions.
