Calling all past and present D2x/D2xs owners!...help needed!
Hey guys,
Little background...I had a d2h, thought it was great as long as you could fill the frame, had no cropping ability at all due to the low mp. The shutter box failed on this and I had to drop down to my backup D100 and after 6 months managed to get a good low useage D2x (only had 7000 clicks on it!) Before that I had a D1, then a D1x.
Now help needed from some kind gents...
I have been having a few little quirks with the camera, I am 99% sure its technique that is burning me out here and not the camera or the lenses.
The Af appears to be a nightmare, I know the lenses are sharp (previous experience on the d100 and d2h) and i can get some sharp images from the camera.
Basically i am looking for some pointers from people who have used the camera to its kwirks and any helpful advice they can give from thier experience of using it
If it helps here is a list of the glass I am using on it
18-70 F3.5-4.5 Nikkor
50mm 1.8 Nikkor
85mm 1.8 Nikkor
70-300 VR Nikkor
300 F4 (non afs) Nikkor
I also have the 180mm 2.8 ED* and the 105mm f4 Macro as well manual AI lenses.
I am looking at getting a 70-200VR in the next 3 or 4 months but takes a little time when you are only 27 and not a banker ;)
Any help and advice would be most welcome, I love the camera and really want to make the most of it, shame that Nikon wont be making any more pro quality Dx cameras all gone FF now :(
Thanks in advance guys I know there must be some D2x owners past or present on here who maximised the use from the camera!
(even if it comes down to just needing to get better glass in the future!)
