I had an Epson 870 and it was forever blocking, and the cleaning cycles used up huge amounts of expensive ink. In the end about half the ink was wasted. dpreview is a good place for printer...

A D200 is only worth it if you need the extra features which are primarily a) higher frame rate, b) better build and c) mirror lock up. There are also a few neat things such as the intervalometer...

Reviewing the day's images, I found this one (see attachment). I guess it was a bit camera shy, and I caught it as it scuttled off. If anyone knows what it is, please let on. Sadly it is slightly out...

Stephen.

I suspect you would be happy with the AFD as it is a nice lens, despite my reservations. Now that I think about it, I found the focal length was not enough for nervous insects such as...

BTW the old lens has no lens hood, so that will add to the purchase cost.

And if anyone already has NX, and is buying a D200, why not get your free NX, and then sell it to me at half retail price? :) It's worth a try ... innit.

One minor point, the tilt does not change the DOF, rather it tilts the plane of focus. Hence you need to make sure the objects that you want in focus lie in a plane. I suspect it is easier with a...

I have a Nikon 85mm TS micro, but it is a totally different beast from yours. I envy you having a 24mm TS. Nikon do not make an equivalent.

According to review it performs poorly above ISO 400 and of course you are pretty much restricted to Sigma lenses. Surely a decent 6-10MP camera from Canon, Nikon or Pentax would be better? And being...

That is an excellent point. Some of my favourite shots are of rare and interesting fungi. But they send most people to sleep. But get a bee on a thistle, and you'll have them clapping in the aisles....

So you would not say that the Mac is more user friendly?

IMO Rockwell sometimes forgets to think, and this is one good example. Where you are in relation to the subject determines the perspective. So, a wide angle lens allows you to get really close to the...

BTW the butterfly photo was taken at F22, and the camera was mounted on the Manfrotto focussing rail. I can report that the rail works very well indeed. Thus far I am a happy customer.

I don't doubt the benefit of hand holding when taking bird shots, but for macro I would not dream of hand holding. More often than not the exposure is about 1/10" so a tripod is the only option. And...

No idea. But I once joined a forum (ukexpert) and was banned within one day for mentioning another forum (Photo Net). Anyway, they sell pictures in their forums and take copyright too. A rip off.
