His books are well-written and contain sound, practical advices

Costa Rica 8-Feb-10 Mr. Thom Hogan: thom_hogan@msn.com Let me begin by saying that I am an avid reader of your guide books and I would probably not be using a Nikon camera today if wasn't for you. Your books are well-written and contain sound, practical advices that are immensely appreciated. I have read the Nikon D300 To Go, and I have to say that it GOES with me everywhere..... from the tropics of Costa Rica (where I live) to the city streets of New York. It's a must read for anyone using the D300. I highly recommend your book and DVD to all photographers out there currently using the Nikon D300. Your professional and expert knowledge in handling specific issues related to the Nikon camera are extremely important given that the Nikon company has continually failed to do so through their own manual. Their manual that comes with the camera requires you to read information on dozens of separate and separated pages to follow one idea from beginning to end. They should be paying you!!! You have a gift for discussing typical Nikon problems and resolving them in clear constructive ways. I look forward to reading your next informative work. Thank you! A very grateful photographer, Jose Volio Costa Rica May I suggest that you allow readers the option of making comments (notes) on your .pdf manuals.

GREAT book for NIKON enthusiasts!

This is a GREAT book for Nikon enthusiasts. There are several caveats that the reader should be aware of which, unfortunately, several of the previous reviewers were not. First and foremost, the back jacket of the book states clearly that CAMERA information is aimed at users of the F100 (one reviewer states it doesn't cover the F100 but this edition DOES cover it from page 232-251), N60/F60, F5, F6, N90s/F90X and FM2n models. Second, this 2nd edition was published in 2000 and though Mr. Hogan would love to update it with a 3rd edition, he doesn't own the rights and the publishing company that does own them has gone bankrupt, making the rights currently unavailable, which is why it is now out-of-print and probably won't be available other than on the used market so get one when you can!!! As for the reviewer who complains... "The author has given no creedence(sp) to readers who havn't(sp) invested heavily in purely Nikon gear such as lenses and flash units. Descriptions of shooting scenarios are too concise and again apply specifically to all Nikon apparatus." the title of the book IS, after all, "THE NIKON FIELD GUIDE" so of course it applies "specifically" Nikon equipment. This book also extensively covers Nikon/Nikkor lenses, Nikon Speedlight models SB-25, -26, -27, -28 as well as basic flash/lighting techniques, general shooting tips, filters, outdoor and wildlife techniques and macro photography. Plus it contains exposure guides, short cuts and very useful photography-related equation charts such as the Sunny 16 rule, Exposure Value (EV), Hyperfocal distance, Depth of Field and more. As I stated above, this is THE book for Nikon enthusiasts as besides the detailed instructions for the cameras and flash units listed, it also contains a wealth of photography ideas and information. If you find a used copy of this book, BUY IT! It is well worth it!!!

Highly recommended for all photographers new and old.

I just bought a NIKON F3hp camera, and together with the NIKON field guide I am ready to start learning the art of photography. This book is very detail in both the technical aspects of photography and also some basic rules that most photographer may overlook. Every time I read through this book I found something new and interesting to learn. This is the only Photographer handbook you will ever need to buy. This book has become the fixed item in my camera bag, and I will never never leave home without it.

This book is excellent

I reccomend it to all of my friends who never read the direction manuals

This book is a good for Nikon users; it's worth buying.

This book is very good, but slightly out of date. For example on Kodak's website, the data shown indicates better reciprocity performance on Kodak Gold 100/200 speed film than for 400 speed(or 800 speed), but in this book it has different information. Also some newer Nikon lenses like the 70-300mm 4-5.6 D zoom lenses are not included in the charts. It doesn't contain very much information on data backs or Photo Secretary either, but does contain very complete operating instructions for the cameras that it lists (The F5, F4, N90s/F90X, N70, and FM2). It includes quite a bit of information on techniques and some helpful tips.
