In Guangdong, it is a well known delicacy called "Dragon-Tiger Fight" (龙虎&#26007: snake + cat meat.

The Nikon light grey lenses came not only in wide aperture zooms, but were more expensive than the black ones. At that time, I don't think anyone would have considered the AF-S 300mm 2.8, 400mm 2.8 and 500mm F4 as "cheapo zooms".

I don't mean the grey lenses, no they are not cheapo zooms. But "real silver lenses", something like these, which I am sure Jeff will appreciate?

Yes. This is what I am looking for. The main body is all silver. Except the zoom ring made from rubber.

Hi seniors, I jus bought a DF. A few questions which need yr advice:

Wireless remote:
WR-R10 + WR-T10
Is the wirless remote option for DF

And how does the remote trigger flash setup need?
I bought a SB700, and wanted to try remote flash, what will be the setup needed?

Thanks a lot. Jus move from 5000 to DF so a bit confused.

Since the Df does not have an built-in flash which can act in commander mode, you would probably need a SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander Unit to wirelessly control your SB-700. Otherwise get one of the third party systems like PocketWizard or Phottix Odin for wireless flash.

Or get another speedlight that can act as commander or slave.

SB-700: Wireless Flash Control Wireless Commander Mode controls up to 2 remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights. When used as a remote speedlight up to 3 Groups can be selected. Four wireless channel options help manage wireless conflicts in multi-photographer environments.

Use your SB-700 as commander to control other CLS speedlights. Or get SB-910 as commander and control SB-700.

Many of my cats like chicken. So I would regularly buy an entire honey-baked roast chicken from Cold Storage and debone and skin it for them as a treat.

Nikon 58.0 mm f/1.4 this I want.

Nikon 85.0 mm f/2.0 Pre Ai there is no Nikon 85mm f/2 pre-Ai, is there a mistake? Pre-Ai 85mm are f/1.8, f/2 are Ai.
