Same as Alpha and Mysnapz. ;-) cheers Thomas

Coolness! Great lighting and composition. cheers Thomas

I like it, good idea and a great composition. cheers Thomas

Congrats to both, great job!

Yep, sounds cool.

Hi,
"We wonder which camara's you guys use to make those nice pictures we'v seen here. Digital or not."

I use both.
I've a digital P&S (Minolta S404) that I bought for my job,
but I use it sometimes for my "artwork" as well.

If I shot for fun, art and the like I still prefer to use film.
Like Rork mostly Fuji Sensia or Provia slide film
and mostly my Nikon F4.

"Why did you buy it and when."

Besides of my retired Ricoh KR10, the F4 is the best Camera I ever owned,
It's versatile to no end, build like a tank, has every meaningful feature one could ask...
..well Rork allready told it. :-)

I was lucky enough to find an used one in mint condition some months ago.

cheers
Thomas

Sure!! A lot of motion and a great shot!

Yep, due to the small chip you'll get a lot larger DOF-range compared to 35mm. Good for macro shots but maybe a problem for portraits. Maybe take a look at the AFD 1.8/50 as an additional lens, its about 130 Euro here (should be $100 for you). Stoped down two f-stops it's one of the best performing Nikkors and a really bargain, wide open it's a bit soft, but maybe just right for portraits-shots, especially as it will behave like a 1.8/75 on your D100. Looking forward to see some of your shots. cheers Thomas

Saw it in the news here, looks a bit scary to me, so good luck to all the folks down there. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

So you did it? Congrats!
$800 for a Tamron lens sounds a bit ...hm...much to me
and maybe you should ask yourself if you really need a fast f:2.8 lense,
as your (virtual) filmspeed starts with ISO 200 anyway. (AFAIK)

The new Tokina 2.8/28-70 SV got a good review here in a Fotomag.
It's about Euro 300 here and should be available soon.(even sooner in the US)

If a fast lens isn't the issue, I'm very pleased with my Nikkor 3.5 -4.5 /28-105 AFD,
though I don't know how it performs on a DSLR. (should cost about $400)

You should also consider the 1.5 factor for focal length, e.g. a 28-70 mm lens
will work like a 42 - 105 mm on your D100.

You'll find a lot of lens reviews here:

Thanks for all the nice comments and sorry for the late reply. (I got a week off with no computer in reach) Indeed, I thought about taking #1 for the challenge, but as it is allready 10 years old.... cheers Thomas

Made on a trip to the USA, three years ago.

cheers
Thomas

Nice shot, I love these old machines, tractors, cars.... cheers Thomas

Coolnes and I also love #4 most. BTW, how do you'll get this little critters to stay still untill one can frame his picture and shot?? Tried this several times but without much success. cheers Thomas
