Hi Everyone,
Well, have an N65 that I have been working with for about 3 years now, but never really got into it until recently. So, I decided to upgrade and I got my new D50 about 2 weeks before Christmas and have been diligently reading everything I possibly can on this site. I have been reading for about 3 weeks now, and have learned so much.
I just bought the SB 600 flash, and I have the following to work with.
Quantaray AF 19-35 mm 1:3.5 - 4.5
AF-S DX Nikkor ED 18-55 mm 1:3.5 - 5.6G
Quantaray AF 28-90 mm 1:3.5 - 5.6 Macro
Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300 mm 1:4 - 5.6 G
Quantaray 2X DG Teleconverter
Thank you to all of you who work so hard at posting answers to so many questions. Especially questions that are already posted and answered but you guys still take time from you're schedule to reply with such great answers.
Anyway, great site, and great information.

Allen,
Welcome to PhotoTakers.
How do you like the Quantaray glass? Particularly, how's the 2x DG teleconverter work for you? I'd love to see some of your photos taken with that.

I have not really worked with it yet. I have been trying to master the other equipment before taking that on. I put it on to see what it looked like through the lens, but have yet to take any photos except one at 300 mm only to see what it would be like. Not a very good photo. I took it at about 1300 feet while trying to capture a couple of guys painting the top of the tail of Triumph Carnival Cruise ship. I will try to post it if I can figure out how.

Thanks to PicTiger for providing Free Image Hosting.
This is at 300 mm with my 2x at about 1300 feet. |
