Actually the first Chevy V8 powered production cars were sold in 1917 in their model D cars. 1955 was the first year of their legendary "small block" V8 line.
Sorry, missed Kuzano's post

Yes, I did see Kuzano's post and I opened his link. We learn something new everyday, don't we?

I noticed when looking at old snapshots of people, the large point of interest is often the cars. "that's Uncle Buck, and wow look at that 51' Lincoln convertible he's leaning on." The cars never seem important when taking the snapshot, but as the years go bye, they do, so I often will make sure to get a good pic with the cars if available.
Whitehall tires from the 1950s were a big thing. I remember a relative bragging that he had Whitehall tires instead of all black. He used scrub soaps pads on them for cleaning.

Great shots of Providence, R.I. Very neat clean and wholesome city.

Beautiful car. 1955 was Chevy's first ever V-8 engine. A Classic Car. Thanks for sharing.

Those photos addicted me for the rest of the day, just as you stated. I will share these with a friend. Thanks for this post.

Great buys exist on refurb D5300s. Under $500. Like all D5xxx it has articulated screen. It also include WIFI and GPS. It's image sensor and processor mstches the twice as expensive D7100.
I understand the D5500 sensor and processor are like the D7200. But it does not have GPS. But then I don't use the GPS because of battery drain.

I don't think Nikon made a wise decision by raising the price on the D3300. Especially being discontinued soon. If you want Wi-Fi, you have to spend another $50 for an adapter. That's $600 now. It was only a few months ago that you could get a refurbished D7200 at Adorama for $769.

So, those of you who look at the details of what I shoot, notice that I am perpetually using a Sigma 18-35 7/1.8 ART lens for most of my work. Which, since a lot of what I do is wide angle landscapes and panoramas, is usually positioned on the 18 mm side. So, do I need the zoom capabilities? What would happen to my work if I used a fixed prime lens for landscapes, and more importantly:
What lens would you recommend?
Not manufacturer, but focal length.
TIA.

The lens you have already is satisfactory. I have a 28mm 2.8 prime that I rarely use. It was defined as wide angle when I bought it 8 years ago. Not anymore. I'm wishing for a 24-70mm.

I always thought the D 5200 was the follow-up of the D3300, shows what I know!
The Nikon D5200 succeeded the D5100. The must current of the 5xxx series is the Nikon D5500.

The pols here must have learned well then because my little town of Denham Springs LA now pays the highest sales tax in the country @ 10.5%, beating out Chicago.
I thought California had the highest taxes on everything. 10.5% sales tax in Denham Springs, LA. That's way too much.

Wasabi batteries are good 3rd party options. And the links provided by Robertski are good alternatives too. Unbeatable prices listed.

Another battery charger forgotten. First it was a tourist in Israel. You're now the 2nd person forgetting his charger traveling on this forum. I suppose it can happen to anyone.

Sony bought Minolta. Minolta AF lenses work on Sony A mount cameras and with adapters they work on Sony E mount cameras.
Sony is the king of sensor technology. Many other camera manufactures use Sony sensors. It seems good to look at Sony cameras.

The Nikon D810 and Pentax K-1 are said to have Sony 36 megapixels sensors. True?
