Scott,
I’m new to LR 2 and am working through your wonderful book. Very helpful in getting up and running quickly! I did want to provide an example of where I think the GPS info would be real world useful. I recently did a trip on the ICW on my boat and took many pictures along the way. Now looking back, I’m not quite sure where some of them were, I can come close with the date and comparing with my log but having the actual GPS coords would be invaluable. I plan on getting a plug in before the next trip.

I shoot with a Nikon D70 & Nikkor & 70-300mm mounted on Gitzo carbon fiber tripod and have suffered John Dutt’s ‘lack of real good sharpness’ flusteration and questioned whether to sell my gear… [ and have been discourage from adding a converter... I fully understand why local camera shops perfere to sell lens!] However, my major concern is how to capture the best photo quality with existing equipment or judisious expenditures [ordering Scott's CS2 Killer Tips!]

I second the Borrowlenses.com post. Excellent customer service and less expensive even with the NAPP discount (at least when I used them)

Scott

Thanks for Q&A and comments. I have been struggling a bit with my sports photos. I shoot with a D80 and have a DX 55-200VR and a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 II EX DG Macro (no VR). Generally I shoot at a min 1/500 sec or higher and keep the ISO 400 or below. If I have the light I push the speed up as high as possible1/1600 or 1/2000. I shoot with on AF-C.

First, I was thinking about purchasing the 2x converter instead of the 1.4X. Is there a quality difference between the 2? Do you recommend the 1.4 instead of the 2x?

Second, I am struggling with the quality of my shots when I am roughly 100ft away or further. I shoot the Sigma 70-200 exclusively with a tripod but many of the the shots lack real good sharpness, on both lenses. For example when I shoot across the baseball diamond from the 3rd base dugout to first base the sharpness is not great at 200mm. Generally I am happy with the quality of action between 2nd and 3rd. Am I just to far away? Can $$ help with the purchase of a longer lens or coverter? Am I blind? Should I sell my gear for a white cane? I would welcome your thoughts.

If Chase declines, I am always up for a guest blogger spot. =)

Hi Scott,

Like Eliot, I too mailed Chase and got the same response, “Tell Scott to gimme a shout.”So I guess the answer is, drop him a line!

Hey Scott, in response to question #9, about guest blogger being Chase Jarvis, I sent him a e-mail and his response was:

Hey Eliot – thanks for the note. Have Scott gimme a shout – would be great to connect with him!

Just wanted to say that Max at BorrowLenses.com is a really great guy. He personally got in touch with me on my order and provided great customer service. I hope he and Larry Becker can work out something for NAPP members as he provides a great service.

@ ron greco: Did you read the Introduction. If you didn’t read the Introduction then don’t expect to find the video! Scott works long and hard writing those Introductions, maybe longer and harder than the entire rest of the book, so if you didn’t read the Introduction then you only have yourself to blame! Did I mention you might want to read the Introduction….
