Nikkor 16-85 lives on my D7100. Perfect walk around lens.

Have done Italy twice. First a tour of Tuscany and I carried my D750 with 24-120. Great camera but heavy with all the walking. Second, Lake Coma and Venice, took my D7100 with 16-85, lot easier and the photos were great.

Auto is not your friend with fireworks. Manual. Start at ISO 100, f16 or f11, shutter between 5 and 10 seconds. Tripod is essential. After a few exposures, make necessary adjustments. I prefer longer shutter times to include multiple bursts.

Just returned from Europe. Battery in camera, spare in back pack. Never questioned. No problem.

Last time I was in Italy I opted for a full game D750 with the 24-120. Great outfit but heavy when you're walking a lot. This year I've decided on my DX with a 16-85. My biggest prints were 11x14 so DX is just fine.

I use the Nikkor 16-85G. It's not fast, 3.5-5.6 but it's sharp and light.

Just recently I went on a trip to Europe and had some amazing views (that I captured the best I know how in manual) of city and landscape. Unfortunately, for about 4 days the skies were as overcast and bland as it can be.
I have used sky replacement with PS Elements, but that is tedious and time consuming work. I search the internet and came up with a couple of options. In no particular order:

1. Landscape pro
2. Luminar
3. PhotoShop Sky Replacement
4. Befunky
5. PicStart

My questions:
what do you recommend or use?
How intuitive is it? Easy?

I faced the exact same situation. Pics of Stonehenge, Eiffel Tower and more, all grey skies. I used landscape pro. It has a library of skies, plus you can add your own. There are probably more recent software programs available but I've used landscape pro for years. Turns blah photos into wall hangers.

Great lens. Perfect for vacation when you don't want a bag full of lenses.

I agree with the rubber lens hood solution. They also collapse for the wide angle shots.

Better late than never, I guess.

I purchased the Sigma 100-400mm lens a few weeks ago and was quite surprised how sharp it was at 400mm compared to a number of my other Nikon lenses at full reach, 300mm. I wanted more of a reach for birding than what my 18-300mm provided, price was a factor along with weight (I'm hiking usually 4-6 hours at a time).

I initially ran a resolution test on the Sigma lens before testing it in the field and I saw no reason to make any adjustments (front or back focus) using the optional USB dock that I purchased with the lens. It was dead on with my Nikon D7500.

The lens focuses very quickly with the D7500, somewhat slower using my D600.

The following photo was taken with my D7500 and Sigma 100-400mm.
Settings: 400mm, f8, 1/1250 sec., ISO 1250, cropped about 30% in LR

I liked the Tamron. I have it and took it up the Danube. Able to do both near and far with the same lens with great clarity. Bought it in Bradenton for the FL landscape around Myakka Park. Not sure of the spelling there w/o looking it up.


I live in Parrish, just visited Myakka. That's what got me craving a telephoto. Small world!
