Replace your battery, two LR44 will do the trick for now, or set shutter speed to x250 and fire again.

I thought is not untill sept

By looking the lens combo I assume you are using a DX body? Then a 70-300 VR G lens will definately be more flexible, given you are outdoor shooting a f-stop or two wont make much difference at 300mm. But if you got the cash, wanted the quality, very strong arm (or a good monopod) then 300...

If i'm not mistaken the error msg should be more like " F-E-E", usu happen when using non sealed body and non sealed lens compo in high humidity environment. I remember someone had the problem and send to NPS/ NSC, found out to be water flanks dried out inside the mounting assembly and...

I did remembered there is a tweak to achieve 8 fps without the grip, but do mind you probably blew your warrenty thou... :o and with D700 + MB-10, set battery pirority to Batt grip 1) no batt, 0V dc, max 5 fps 2) EN-EL3e, 7.4V dc, max 5 fps and you double the shooting time 3) 8 x AA...

You will be fine, anything AF-S with A/M switch can manual over-ride anytime, but I tried non motor/ AF-S on D3 and it will just black out, need to switch to M on body first or it will refuse to work.

Lucky guy... FM2 there is two version, titanium shutter or aluminium shutter, easy way to tell is the "honey comb" shape or "smoth, grey" curtain. wah... FM2 and 105 marco *drooling*...

Good old SRT 101b with CLC, comes in handy when I cant find a hammer (after my folk borrows it and misplaced it again) to nail some shelving, or when I cant find my 15" spanner aka "persuation tool", cheers

It should be either the gear coupler (non motor ver) is doing its job or else could be it's reached the end of focus range (infinite or below the MFD) and the focus ring had hit the end stopper. Nothing major... just there is no super magic lens that can auto focus on "anything".

This will be a long, slow learning curve... in short, Metering is the magic formula that calc the relationship of ISO, aparture and shutter speed and produce the beautiful girl picture that comes up on the computer screen. Understand the importance now?

From my experience, most kit lens, DX lens with plastic mount are made in thailand, some prime lens, inc 50 1.8D is made in china, then higher end ones such as 35 2D, 85 1.8D, 70-200 VR 2.8G, 14-24 2.8G, 105 VR 2.8G etc are all made in japan.

Agree with N above, Tamron 28-300 VC ver, just post process with stauration and one mask or two on sharpest, no worrys in B&W thou. Do aware there is foucs hunt in low light, low contrast or dusty 1005 pixels RGB sensor. But I'm also tempted to use Sigma 12-24 HSM, just to get that extra wide...

Hi all, 196. G Zero- FE2, AI lens

Hi all, the "collar" looking one is water-guard use with SB-900 on D300, D700 or D3, the flat piece is BS-1 and yes it's called hotshoe cover and no D300 doesn't come with it. BS-2 is a more "shell" looking, easiest way is look up in nikon site or e&ay, hope this helps.
