Too close for comfort?

These images are from the Nordic Predator Park in Orsa Grönklitt, Dalarna, Sweden. The tigers are siberian Amur tigers, the worlds most powerful predators, but also a species endangered by extinction. The photos were made by my son for an article he wrote as an assaignment in his journalism education. (Click on the images to [...]

The new Nikkor 35 1.8G DX lens - also on FF in 5:4 mode?

Update: It looks like the 35 1.8 works inofficially in 5:4 mode also on fullframe DSLRs. See this discussion and this link.
Nikon introduced the first DX prime lens with built in focus motor today. The 35 mm 1.8G DX AF-S is a replacement for the traditional 50 mm normal lenses on film SLRs and can [...]

Nikkor 55-200VR

When I got the 55-200 VR in Spring 2007, I was very positive about the lens. I have read some different opinions lately, so I decided to do some tests against my 70-200 VR, with my Nikon D300.
