Some would go cameo. There is a little something that troubles me, though. Some of the photos show fields that are so black and featureless that...

Sort of need to know how they're priced, too. None of them is so scarce that you won't be able to pass and find another fairly soon. Look at...
63ish. No FB.

Yes. My 105 is an f4 lens.
For tethering a Nikon, I use ControlMyNikon, which is not sold by Nikon. It's about $20-30 and works really well. The D80 body is about 8 years...
