Will Nikon SB-28DX work in ITTL mode with D600?

Hi and thanks in advance for you help.

I am looking at buying a cheap new or second hand flash for my camera Nikon D600. I am new to flash photography and am not looking at spending allot till I get used to it and lean the basics.

I have a friend who is offering me his Nikon SB-28DX for only £50 but my question is there any limitations against or advantages for using this flash on my D600 and does the ITTL work or is it even important. I like doing portrait photography so I want to make sure it's ok.

I have been looking on google but cant find any answers that directly relate to the D600.

Thanks

Can you make a living with a crop sensor DSLR?

I have been an amatuer photographer for years and I've decided to try to go professional. I have been shooting great pictures with my Nikon D7000 and have accumulated a huge collection of great DX lenses. I have the funds right now to upgrade my body. I can afford the D7100 and I really like it, however I am concerned I won't be taken seriously with a crop sensor camera. I could probably afford the full frame D610, but is it worth selling off all my DX gear to get the much more expensive FX lenses? Can a professional photographer be succesful and taken seriously with a crop sensor camera?

Is a Nikon d90 worth buying when I already have a d40?

I currently have a Nikon d40 with 3 lenses: 18-55mm, 28-70mm, and a 70-300mm. Recently someone suggested that I should get a d90, as they are apparently much better.Is this true? Also, will the lenses I currently have work with the d90? (the lens diameter of the d40 is 52mm) Mainly I want to ask if the d90 is worth paying the extra several hundred pounds for, when I already have a perfectly good D-SLR.
As a subtext, I would also like to ask about filters.Do they make a difference? And how do you even attach them to the camera?

Thanks

Were cannon mate 35mm cameras made by canon?

I recently got into photography and have been offered some very old 35mm cameras like the nikon L35AF. My dad recently gave me a cannon mate AE 21 and i can't find any information about the camera online. i was just wondering if cannon mate is a sub-brand of canon or maybe canon is the new name of cannon mate?

How to change aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and exposure on a Nikon D40?

I am a new photography student and just got my first DSLR camera. I already finished a semester of Digital Photography class, and we learned nothing about any of the things I mentioned in my question. But those seem to be the 4 basic principles of photography from what I have been reading online. I can't figure out how to change them on my camera at all. Could someone please tell me step by step (including what buttons to press and everything) for each thing? I am so confused. I mess around with my camera and think I am changing them, but my pictures never look any different. Please also explain what each one of these things does. Thank you so much! Much appreciated:)

Did I damage my focus motor? Newbie here. Nikon d7000?

Hey guys so I want to begin by saying I am totally new to DSLR photography.

When I first received my Nikon d7000 a couple days ago I latched on my 50mm f/1.8d lens. I didn't even know pressing the shutter button halfway down focused. So what I did for my first probably 10-15 shots the first hour I got my camera was I manually focused the lens by moving the lens focus ring then I would take the picture. All of this while my Autofocus was set to on. Now I realized my mistake relatively quickly and started only using the autofocus function. I didn't notice any problems but I read online the following day that that is a huge no-no. Especially with a lens like a 50mm f/1.8d because it uses the d7000 internal focus motor. I got scared when I saw posts saying that the internal motor has got to be damage/stripped/whatever.

However, when I was manually focusing it I didn't experience any hard resistance like other people talked about. Was it because I wasn't pressing the shutter button? Just manually focusing and then pressing to take the picture.

I would just like to here some more opinions on if my focus motor is probably damaged or not. What are some of the signs I should look for if it is?

I also have a Tamrom 70-300 vc and on some pictures it won't focus and take the picture. Is that a case by case basis and the camera settings or could it be linked to what I described above?

Thanks!

Do you agree with this?

i was reading a review of the Nikon D7100 and they said that it was the closest you could get to an FX camera without actually buying one

do you agree?
