Expose for the light from the window, and use a speedlite bouncing the flash off of the celling.

You could go with a D7xxx series camera and get a superior pentaprism viewfinder. The D3xxx and D5xxx series Nikons have a pentamirror viewfinder. The glass prism viewfinder in a D7xxx series and higher Nikons gives a larger and slightly brighter view through the viewfinder. I think it helps with composition and focusing manually.

Do you DO any macro work? Use that lens for shooting "close ups" of flowers or insects. You can get only so close and your done. that's why I said it should be called a close up lens. you'll be VERY disappointed if you think you'll be doing some great MACRO with it. no need to get all bent out of shape. It's like using a Little League bat in the Major Leagues.

Not exactly correct. Nikon does allow authorized service centers to repair most non-current grey market models. They just will not work on them in their two factory repair centers in NY or LA

Thanks, Stash.. That clown should be glad I didn't say what I REALLY thought about his comment, but.... sometimes, you have to consider the source and make allowances for asininity.
He was no artist.... he was a liberal, anti-gun nut that took the opportunity to try and spread his BS about how awful guns are. He's talking to the wrong man. But, keyboard commando are like that.... knowing that he doesn't have to say it to my face... in person. Lucky for him.

Vary the Shutter speed only. This keeps the depth of field constant throughout the series.

I have Canon DPP v4 but I was hoping for something better. I am trying to see if Photoscape X or GIMP might be a better option. I am not ready for Lightroom or Photoshop. I would like a program that process RAW & JPEG.
I appreciate any feedback.
I appreciate any feedback.
I personally use Photoscape X after watching Tony Northrup's YT video , although most of the things he says I take with a grain of salt..He was correct on this one..I have heard GIMP is great also but a steeper learning curve from what I understand..Photoscape can do more things than people realize and I am happy with it.

B&H is very good - haven't done a lot with KEH, but good transactions. My favorite and best experiences with Roberts Camera Used Photo Pro. Price, quality, service through many transactions just excellent.

The best Nikon macro lens, IMHO, is the Nikon 60mm... (show quote)
I own both those lenses also..the 60mm is especially amazing...bought it on the recommendation from Ken Wheeler (Angry Photographer)..that guy is spot on with his recommendations

SB800's from Ebay. The head can be turned up and behind you for pleasing indoor flash. I set my camera to manual and my flash on TTL. Works really well.
