I want to be able to take close ups of spider webs, insects, leaves etc. Can
I  use a non-macro telephoto lens such as a Nikon 70-300 to do this, or does
the telephoto lens need to have a macro setting?
What about using a close up lens that screws on to a regular lens ?

I would like to use one of the flash heads from my MT-24EX dual macro flash
about 3 feet from the camera. Has anyone out there cut the cable and added
an extension? Perhaps it would be possible to use a connector so that the
extension could be removed when using it normally?

I got a new D200 and I thought it was losing the focus because of the

A friend of mine has a  D80 w/ 18-135 len. After a week or 2 the lens
would squeak like a mouse when auto-focusing. I was thinking about
getting the same rig but I'm now very concerned about this problem. I
seached on the web and have found others with the same problem. Any

This is one of the least objective and least useful descriptors out there,
and is overused, in my humble opinion.
I bring this up because I spent hours yesterday looking for information
about Canon 50 mm lenses.  Googling turned up lots of reviews and posts and

I've come to notice that doing night shots, my Nikon D200 won't meter
longer than 30 seconds of exposure time. I don't have a remote release
and apparently the only way to exceed 30 seconds is to hold my finger on
the shutter. Is this common behavior for camera meter systems? ...
