What camera lens do I get?


I ve bought an old Nikon N60 35mm Camera. Right now I only have the body and am looking for lenses. However, I don t know: do all new lenses work with it? I m not a huge photography buff. It s an SLR camera. I m also trying to keep the price down. Are there any specific lenses or will ANYTHING do? Please be specific as possible if certain lenses are required. Thanks!

Does a dSLR focusing system fail over time as it is being used for events photography?


So I got my D7000 in January of 2013, and today Sept 2015, I have over 200,000 actuations. I was reviewing my archives from my shoots back in 2013, using my Nikon 50mm f/1.4G, I noticed that my photos were sharper and were more on point in focus to the subject's eyes back in 2013 compared to the photos I take today. The focusing I now have is slower even in low light, ( as in streetlight low light ) and im not getting any more good focus locks compared to before.

Just wanted to know if this can be repaired?

Need some help comparing Nikon wide angle lenses for a DX shooter?


So I'm a bit of a photography newbie, but I'd love some help in understanding the differences in these 2 Lenses.

The Camera I'm using is Nikon D5000 and my favorite thing to shoot by far is landscapes.

AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
12-24mm f/4G IF-ED

I've heard some pretty great things about this lens, but I'm not exactly wanting to spend tons of money on a lens.

AF-S DX NIKKOR
10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED

This is the other lens I've considered because of the lower price and fairly comparable specs, But I'd love some input on how different they actually are.

Thanks all.
Added (1). Also, I'm wondering how safe it is to buy used lenses from the Nikon website.

Looking for input on which Nikon camera I should get- D3300, D5300, or D5500?


This is my first camera purchase so I'm looking for some help on what to buy. I know that I want a Nikon but I'm not sure which model to buy. I know that the D5500 is going to be the best among the three but is it worth spending more money? I would also like to know what lens I should get. Any feedback appreciated- thanks!

Apple told me the mid-2012 model Macbook Pro cannot take more than 8GB ram…is this true?


I would like to purchase the 500gb Macbook Pro but they told me that it cannot accept more than 8GB ram. Is this true?

I use the laptop for editing wedding photos because I am a wedding photographer. Large raw files from my Nikon d810 will be used.

Or should I go with the retnia display… Does it make a difference when editing photos? I don't feel like I'm sold on it… Unless someone can explain the benefits to me. Thanks!

Nikon D7100 Continuous Shooting? - 1


I want to do a timelapse of the night sky. So I put my D7100 out there with settings:
30 seconds, f1.8, 18mm, iso 400, continuous shooting.
I then attach my cable trigger, press the button down and lock it.
This works fine for 100 photos, but Nikon's D7100 has a 100 photo limit. My timelapse is only 4 seconds with 100 photos. How can I make it go for longer? (at least 400 shots). I've tried the built in interval meter but it's buggy sometimes and locks up the camera.
