I would start with F8 at your desired and the move down to F5.6 and then to F3. Look and compare the 3 and choose your best

I've found that the Niconians website is a good place to buy and sell. You certainly have wonderful lenses to sell. Good luck to you.

Put it under your seat. Don't leave it out of site and do not check the bag.

1. Nikkor 24-70mm/2.8. Versatility.

2. Nikkor 50mm/1.8. Produces images like human sight does.

I just gave my D800e to my son and bought the 850. It's a remarkable camera. It will be at least a 3-5 year learning experience and I can't wait to get started. I have a camera rolling case with enough lenses to start a lens store. With your new camera, I would suggest taking small steps in adding lenses as needed. Right now I have a Nikon 24-70 2.8 attached to the camera and that has been on the camera since the camera was new. I do have a 70-200 2.8 and a 200-500 5.6 in my bag. But I will share with you that the trips I have taken with the 850 to Italy, Greece, Croatia, Hong Kong and Singapore have been with the 850/24-70 combination only. The 24-70 is the "go to" lens of the pros, and I can understand why. After a couple of trips to the same island, if you feeel that you need a longer lens like the 70-200, rent one to see if it satisfied your preceived requirement. If so buy one. The same goes for a lens wider than the 24-70.Rent a 17-35. My advise boils down to "buy what you relly need in lenses". And please come back and tell us how you are doing. And in the meantime ask more questions. Tell us what leses made the grade with you and why. The why will be very important to the group. We wish you the best.

I have Lightroom 6 saved on my laptop. I want to update (I think--is it worth it?) so I am trying to decide between the Lightroom online or another copy of the classic. I have heard that when or if you cancel the monthly online version, you loose all the captures that you had in Lightroom. Is this correct? Thanks.

Where will I find the Nikon 150-500 lens? It’s not on their website.

I used the company out of La Punte California. They're great. Reasonable and fast delivery. Never had a problem with their products. Use their batteries in my D800e all the time. Find them on eBay.

I agree with Orrie. I take my Nikon glass to a third party in Seattle for regular maintenance. They do a fine job. Go to a large camera store in your city and they can help. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I just received my new Spyder5 from B&H. I had not calibrated in 2 years. Big difference. Easy to use and delivered results.

Launch your current version. Under "Help" it's the 8th line down.

I use a Nikon FX50mm/1.4 on my 800e for low light markets in Europe and Asia. It's a great performer. And you get a good bang for your buck. It will turn into a 75mmon the 7100.

I have the same system. I use 2 2T external drives to save my captures just because I move around a lot. About $100 ea at Costco. With Photoshop and Lightroom, works like a charm.

Jeep Daddy, thanks for the tip on the UDMC 7 format card readers. I trust they will work on prior format cards.
