Does the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye have an exposure confirmation chip?

I want to buy the Rokinon 8mm (Model # FE8M-N) Fisheye for Nikon, and want to know if it has the chip that will allow my camera (Nikon d3200) to auto-expose, or at least tell me if I've exposed correctly. I know the lens doesn't autofocus, I just want to know if it can tell me whether I've exposed correctly.

Most useful Nikon lenses for freelance photographer?

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well.

I have a question and I hope someone here can answer me. :)

I have a D300s and I am investing in some lenses to begin my journey as a freelance photographer.

I have the following:

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G
Nikon Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G

I plan to take photographs of boats on the water racing and also in the marina. I also plan on doing portraiture, functions/parties/weddings, products and interiors.So, pretty much everything!

I was thinking of investing in:

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens
Nikon AF-S VR Micro NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens

Are these good choices? What else?

Does anyone have any recommendations? Any advice will be greatly received.

All the best,
Hannah

Weird D5100 shutter speed?

I play around with shutter speed in Mode 'A'. This is what I notice. Without an external speedlite or with the built-in flash 'OFF", the shutter speed can be set as high as 1/4000. But as soon as I pop up the flash, the shutter speed immediately go down to 1/200 and that's the highest. Shouldn't it be the other way around, because higher shutter speed needs more light for correct exposure? That's weird. I just bought my D5100 about 3 weeks ago and WAS very happy about it, until I found this high speed sync problem! And to make it worst, today, I just bought a high speed sync Yongnuo speedlite, YN-568EX, only to find out my investment in the speedlite was useless. Should've just bought a cheaper YN-565EX instead.My Q is, Is that normal for Nikon D5100? or is there something wrong with my D5100?

Thanks
Sam

What is an good quality Canon camera under $700?

I have a Nikon now that does not have a removable lens, and it is not a very good quality. The shutter speed is horrible, and I want something that will take quick, good-quality pictures, and in time, I can buy more lenses for.

Tan band across photos at high ISO settings?

I've been testing out a new camera, and I just now realized that at a high ISO setting I get this tan line, which is sometimes in the middle, sometimes on an edge, and sometimes not there at all. I've never seen this happen before. What might the cause be?

Using a Nikon D600, tested with two different lenses with the same effect.

Can you advise between Nikon and Sony?

Entry level for the enthusiastic amateur! We cannot decide between Nikon D3100 and the Sony a37 Digital SLR. Reviews seem to conflict. Sony has stabilising and is good for video (not the most important aspect) but Nikon is often preferred. Very confused. Would appreciate some help!

Corrupt SD card (Nikon DSLR)?

Hi,
I was using my Nikon D7000 camera when I turned on the camera it said "Card Error". Some how the SD card got corrupted, and it won't show up on my computer. There is a lot of photos on the card that I want to recover.

How do you deal with such a situation? Should I try to fix the corrupted SD card, or just recover the photos and format the card? Which is more likely to work? and what programs do you recommend for each (cost is not an issue)?

Your help is appreciated!
Added (1). Thanks for that.
PhotoRec couldn't detect the SD card at all. I tried many different recovery programs and none could open the SD card.
I tried formatting it in Windows, but Windows can't format it.Is there anyway/software to force format the card?
BTW, it's a Patriot LX 16GB class 10 SD card.
