    Just got the 32mm lens last night. This shot is @ f/1.2 from a couple of feet away from my puppy. ISO 400, 1/160. Maybe 30-40 minutes before sunset.

    Thank you! The 70-300mm CX is one of those rare things that lives up to its hype. It is better than the Nikon 80-400mm VR, the Sigma 50-500mm, and any of the several 70-300mm FX format lenses I used with m DSLR. I use it with some extension tubes and it makes a fine macro lens, too. It's...

    Thank you! I use all three together for a total of 47mm. The cicada was f/8, ISO 400, and 1/320 with -.3 EV. The bee was f/5.6, ISO 400, and 1/124, also with -.3 EV. Both on a monopod. The minimum focus distance without the tubes is 3.3 feet. I have't measured, but it seems like maybe two feet...

    Arena Sometimes sports is about the spectators, not the athletes. This is from a Nikon V2 and 70-300mm CX zoomed to 180mm @ ISO 3200, f/5.6, 1/400 and spot metered, as is my usual practice with the V2. Adjusted levels and rescaled for web. Otherwise straight from camera.

    Nikon Showcase 6.7-13mm Architecture

    Wide angle has never been my strength as a photographer, but I brought the 6.7-13mm with me recently on a V2 to make myself use and learn it. These all have slight crops to straighten the image and slight contrast and color adjustments.

    Nikon Showcase 70-300mm CX Samples

    What I meant is that like all lenses, it makes tradeoffs. The autofocus hunts and the f/5.6 leads to higher ISO than I would like. That said, in the time since I wrote the original post, I have come to like the lens more and more. :)

    Tigers Like the cougar shots, I took these at a wildlife sanctuary. All of them were with the Nikon V2 and 70-300mm CX. All of them were though fencing, which gave me more problems focusing than I remember with my D3002/D700 and 70-200mm f/2.8 the last time I tried shooting through a fence.

    Skink Shot a little today with a Nikon D7000 and 200mm macro lens on one strap and the V2 and 70-300mm CX on another. It was shocking how much heavier the D7000 rig was with that all metal lens (4 lbs, 6 oz. vs 2 lbs, 1 oz.). The frame rate seemed slooooooow and autofocus was like molasses...

    I have shot for years with a lot of good Nikon glass. A D300s and D7000 are my current DSLR bodies. I bought a Nikon 1 J1 and the 10-30mm and 30-110mm lenses on a whim when I saw the whole kit for $300. I was pleasantly shocked by the autofocus and portability and overall image quality. I...

    Swallowtail My pleasure. So far, it's not the "magic" lens we may have hoped for, but the optics are terrific and the reach is unparalleled -- at least in a small package. The autofocus isn't what I was hoping it could be, but that comes with 800mm equivalents and f/5.6, I think. Here is...

    I received a 70-300mm CX yesterday. Nikon USA had them in stock. Only had daylight for a few photos last night and found them all unusable at 300mm, as I had forgotten to turn the VR on and I had too much motion blur in low light. I shot some of these around 1:00 pm and some around 7:30 today...

    B&W V1 and 18.5mm set on manual with Auto ISO f/2.5 and f/160. The camera set the ISO to 1100, which doesn't look too bad in B&W, I think. I had the camera shooting in B&W.

    Minor League Baseball This was taken from the stands (good seats) through a net with a V1 and 30-100mm lens somewhere between 7:00 and 9:00 pm. Set it for manual with auto ISO to 3200 with 1/1250, f/4.5 and ISO 1250, which is acceptable from a noise standpoint IMO.

    Wolves Shot these today with a V1 and the 30-110mm lens. I am trying to shoot manual with auto ISO and the first one was @ 80mm. f/5 and 1/400 with an auto ISO of 1400. The second was @ 100mm, f/5.6, 1/400 and auto ISO of 2800. Both were cropped.

    Interesting. I agree that the blown highlights are harder to cope with on smaller subjects. That and the weird backgrounds reminds me of what I used to see when I had a 500mm mirror lens. There is some amazing feather detail and color in those two shots you posted.
