Hi FPou,
Great subject...I guess Mirrorless Cameras are here to stay...although it may be prudent to wait & see further development & advancements...like DSLRs in the early 2000s...but that Panasonic w/Leica lens --- 600mm! is pretty awesome...Cheers, Gerry
Thanks, Len, this is now what I'm thinking...and I hear it's a great lens for the money & for my D7000. Thanks again to you & to all for their import, esp. Oliver......my 'due diligence' is almost over! Cheers, Gerry
Thanks, CHG Canon, for the advise: I think that's the ticket! GB
Hi Oliver, Thanks for understanding...& for the offer to swap two great lenses. A shame you're on the other side of the globe. I'm not sure that Adorama or B&H in NYC (I'm in CT) will do the same. What's the solution? Cheers, Gerry
Hi all...just got a d7000 & am looking for a great new DX Wide Angle lens for it. My 'old' 17-35mm 2.8 lens is fabulous...but is not compatible with the d7000. Please don't ask what I'm doing with the 17-35 2.8 in the first place...long story boring... Thanks.
I'm happy to hear that; I also believe that the 18-200 is great all-in-one easy & light walking-around glass for a river cruise and European cities. Many thanks!
Hi Imagemeister, Many thanks for the suggest...so do you think that the Tamron SP 1.4x on the 24-120mm f4 work on a Danube River Cruise as well as an 18-200mm on myD7000? Say 'hi' to my friends in Stuart & Mariner Sands! Cheers, Gerry
Hi Bunny-Jean, Many thanks from Oxford, CT...I hope to listen & learn much from shutterbugs like you! :) Cheers, Ger
Hi ElizPic, Good for you...we're also looking forward to the Danube...great photo ops...enjoy it!
Thanks for the welcome, Hal81! All you guys and gals are terrific!
Thanks for the shout out, JoeB!
Hi imagemeister, Thanks...more to think about...trying to bring to Europe only one or two lenses --- now I'm narrowing it down to the 17-35 2.8 wide angle...and trading in the 18-200 and the 24-120 f4 for a 28-300. Can you put a 1.4x on that glass? Thanks again for your thoughts and time!
Hi romanticf16, Thank you for another perspective -- teleconverters don't accommodate all lenses, do they? Btw, it's the AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1.4 G ED VR...is this the newer version? It's also a great lens but doesn't get me any closer...but I'd hate to give it up...trading the 18-200 for 28-300 may also make sense, especially on the Danube! Thanks, again for your thoughts & enjoy your day!!
Many thanks, Houston: I hope to listen & learn a lot from UHH...Cheers, GB
Hi Erv, Thanks so much for your thoughts...it's exactly what I'm thinking...also perhaps to trade in the 17-35mm 2.8 for a 12-24mm f.4 (DX)...as my goal is to have only (2) great lenses: a great wide angle & a good 'walking-around' telephoto...but do you think I still need my 24-120mm f4?...difficult decision...however I will never again trade with Adorama in NYC...last tim they gave me only 50% for a beautiful 105mm 2.8! I should be able to get better value than that...EBay...may ask B&H...thanks again!
