Sale: $2269.99
Hello, I have been looking into purchasing a Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens and was considering the purchase (order online or from the store) from Best Buy.  However, the price at Best Buy is $2270 and $1700-$1900 everywhere else and without tax if you purchase from the big NY camera shops.
I understand that BB needs to have some overhead built in because of their corporate structure.  A good example is the pricing difference between BB and those same NY online stores for the Nikon 70-200 VR2.  Best Buy has it for $2400 and they have it for $2160.  Thats about a 10% over price.  The 24-70 is about a 25% over price.
Is it possible that the 24-70 Nikon price is a miss print?  I'd like to take advantage of the 18 month financing at BB but not at a $470+ penalty.
Thanks!

Hi
UnChained,
After
reading your initial post I also thought it was a bit strange that we were
selling this lens above MSRP. Because of this I have sent an email to the
appropriate business team here at our corporate headquarters asking them if the
price we have this lens listed at is correct. As soon as I hear back from them
I will post back to this thread.
Thanks for

  • Lens profile for Nikon 16-85 lens

    I am trialling LR5. I use a Nikon 16-85 lens. I cannot see this lens on the list of profiles in the develop module although it is on the list of supported profiles in the help files. How do i get to the profile?

    My mistake. I was looking at a Tiff file. In Raw it's all there. Thanks for the tip!

  • Can't find Nikon 24-120 lens in profiles for Lens Correction. How is this added?

    Lens Correction panel in LR
    enter correct make--NIKON, but model of my Nikon 24-120 lens does not appear 
    How can this be remedied. It is on the list of suported lenses.
    I do not wnat to make a custom profile. Just use the Nikon
    Thanks

    Thanks...figured it out.
    Have to open a file taken with that lens. Go to Filter in PS and choose
    ³Lens Correction²
    Choose lens there and it will then get registered in LR.
    Appreciate your reply.

  • Nikon 10-24 Lens Correction

    I just discovered Lightroom's lens correction presets for specific lenses. While many of my Nikon lenses are listed, my latest lens (the Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED) is not listed. It's one of Nikon's newest lenses.
    I'd like to be able to quickly correct distortion in my photos. Does Lightroom add additional lenses over time to their list of presets?
    If not, are there 3rd party presets for correction that I could take advantage of?
    Thanks!

  • Nikon 80-400mmAF lens?

    does anyone have a lens profile for the Nikon 80-400mm AF lens?

    Yes, there appears to be one available online, which you can download using the free Adobe Lens Profile Downloader utility:

  • Lens correction help needed: Nikon 14-24 used in model shoot...

    Hello,
    I just finished a model shoot with 9 models standing in a horizontal line relative to the camera.  Because of the very short working distance I had to use a Nikon 14-24mm lens to fit everyone in, resulting in the end girls being noticeably distorted (unpleasantly "wide").  They certainly won't like that!
    I've opened the raw file in CR, but have not found settings for lens correction that fix this.  CR has the correct lens profile, but no matter how I play with the settings manually or automatically, things just don't look right.  Similarly, if I open corresponding TIFF in Filter -> Lens correction, I still run into the same issue.
    I've enclosed a sample out-of-the-camera image so you can what I'm talking about.  Hoping there's a way to correct the twp outermost girls w/o sacrificing those in the middle...  They are much slimmer than in the shot.
    Running PS CS 5.5 on Win7/64
    Thanks!

    Hi Toasted
    I've seen the adds for the DxO Viewpoint and thought they had a great idea on their hands providing it as a Plug-in. However, I've been using the full DxO Optics Pro as my Raw file editor for a couple of years now, and ran your shot through that, and not the plug-in. 
    Judging my my results, I think the full version is a more powerful tool; the "Volume Anamorphosis" correction in the full version is a semi-automated tool. Simply applying the correction at the initial automated setting still left me with some distortion in the models at either end, which was especially noticeable in the girl on the extreme right. However, I then manually tweaked the setting to the maximum available, to get the result above.
    Now, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and you can't get something for nothing, and the same applies here. What's actually happening is that the Volume Anamorphosis is being "corrected" by re-introducing a set amount of Barrel Distortion into the image, oh, and the image has also been cropped, which is most noticeable in the bodywork of the cars on the left and right, but this is unavoidable. It isn't too obvious here, but if you were to have strong horizontals or verticals in the image, you'd see the curvature in them very easily.
    Take a look at my own example below.
    This was taken with a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, and in the original the guitarist on the left, and the keyboardist on the right, both had the dreaded "squished head" effect! As you can see that's been fixed, but if you look at the pipes above the lights at the back, the line of the monitor cabinet at the lead singers feet, and the microphone stands, you can plainly see the curves... which is still infinitely preferable to distorted heads!
    Good luck

  • Nikon Lens Not Available?

    I'm interested in purchasing a Nikon 10-24mm lens from Best Buy but it's not available on the Best Buy website.  Abe's of Maine is one of the marketplace sellers and they do carry it on their own website, though it is currently listed as "backordered".  Is this something that Best Buy can order for me?  I'd like to use my Best Buy credit card to take advantage of the 18 month financing.
    I'm aware that Best Buy does offer the Tamron 10-24mm but I'd prefer the Nikon.

    Hi wmurphy1975,
    If we don't even have this lens listed on BestBuy.com we would not be able to order it. Given that this is not a new model I would assume we will not be carrying it in the future.

  • Using Lens profiles for Nikon D800 in Lightroom 3.6

    When I use Lightroom 3.6 with pictures from Nikon D800, the lens profile for the Mikro Nikor 60 mm lens is not in the list of coice. However, when the picture is from a Nikon D5000, the same lens appears in the list. So, a lens profile exists, but is not open for pictures from the D800. How can I solve this problem? The same is true for the 18-200 mm lens, which however is not suited for the D800 due to heavy vignetting at wide angle, and with the 70-300 mm, which gives good results.

    The D5000 is a crop sensor. The D800 is a Full-Frame sensor.  The Profile for D5000 cannot be "scaled" for a full-frame sensor: thus, it cannot be used.
    Every lens has multipe profiles: 1 for Raw and 1 for Jpeg in each sensor size.  If one has not been created for your particular lens, camera a file format you have three options.
    1: Download the Adobe Lens Profile tool from Adobe Labs and create on yourself. It isn't hard but it is time consuming.
    2: Part of the Adobe Lens Profile tool is a Lens Profile Downloader where you can gain access to a community of people who have shared their lens profiles.
    3: Wait for Adobe to include it in a dot release of Lightroom.
    I checked and I did see the profile for your 60MM available via the downloader.

  • Procedure to Change Nikon lens (upgrade)

    Dear Customer service bestbuy agent,
    The last Monday I bought a Camera & Lens Nikon Kit (D60 + Lens 55-200mm SKU:9999101700050012) in Laredo,Tx store but at that time did not check my ticket and my boxes, and time later at my home... great surprise !!! The lens model pickup(SKU:7249676) do not match with the sku or model showed for the week promotion. The price paid for the lens was the correct but the model don’t match with the promotion and I really need the other lens (SKU:8565368)
    My questions are :
    Why the salesman didn't deliver the correct product ?
    What procedure applied to make the change?
    Can I make the change at any store?
    With the purchase of original kit also bought a support policy for 4 years. Once I do the change of lens, How do I update my support policy?
    The process can be doing by any person? Or necessarily this change should be doing myself ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Shivanny09,
    You are correct that you got the wrong lens for the package you purchased if you got the 55-200mm lens that is sku# 7249676. You should have gotten the 55-200mm lens that comes with optical vibration reduction (sku 8565368), which is in my opinion a much better lens. Other than the Vibration Reduction (VR) these two lenses are almost identical, and that might be why you received the wrong lens. Just bring the lens you got and your receipt into any Best Buy® store and they should be able to get you the correct lens. The store should also be able to update your Geek Squad Black Tie Protection plan to cover the correct products if necessary. I would do the exchange yourself. I am sending you a private message so check your inbox.

  • Lens Correction confusion

    I looked at a friend's LRv3 the other day and was surprised that I couldn't see his Nikon 18-70 lens listed in the lens profiles. I've now looked at my own system and have found that (1) the following makes are listed under Make: Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron - if I choose Nikon Lightroom correctly selects to 18-70mm lens.
    However, for some (2) the Make list also has Apple (?) and if I select Nikon the 18-70 is not listed.
    The only difference that I can see is that case 1 above is for DNG images and the other applies to the few JPGs I have. My friend still shoots jpg so it seems consistent, but I don't understand why this should be, can anyone shed light on this please?

    David Lingard wrote:
    But why the difference?
    Unless I'm missing something I can't see the performance of a lens showing a difference between raw and non-raw files.
    The lens doesn't change but the processing does, and the processing can affect the results substantially.  For example, if your camera automatically removes vignetting, CA or geometric distortion in processing, the results will be substantially different in JPEGs as in raws.  Even if it doesn't, just the fact that a tone curve and profile are "cooked in" may alter needed vignetting and CA corrections.

  • Big difference in RAW converter between Aperture and Nikon Capture NX

    hi
    here's a quick photo for comparing (hosted on my site since it's huge):
    http://www.raffaz.net/stuff/nx_aperture.png (4.4mb uncompressed PNG file)
    I'm quite disappointed by some aspects of Aperture's RAW handling... or at least, by comparing it to Capture NX.
    by looking at the picture, you can instantly see that NX raw photo is much sharper, and it is nearly perfect (apart from the not-perfect photo itself).
    by looking at Aperture's shot, you can see that it's blurry, with moirè and noise-like problems..
    the screenshots are 100% crops from the latest versions of the applications, using flat settings as you can see (just import, deselect everything the app will do), the camera is a Nikon D70, the lens is a 18-70 f3.5 and the file is a .NEF (nikon raw). settings for the photo are ISO200, f8, 1/15, 50mm on tripod.
    I admit I'm very surprised by this difference. I'm using the trial of NX (just wanted to test it since it's brand new) and when I noticed all these differences I was shocked. I'm not saying that NX is better than Aperture, I think that Aperture is still unbeaten in a lot of fields, but could someone please explain me this huge difference in quality?
    if needed, I can provide more screenshots with other photos

    I dont like Capture NX one bit, its just as slow and sluggish as the previous version. The reason why pics often look better in Capture is becuase Nikon wrote it, after all the NEF format is theres.
    To be honest Capture NX cannot be compared to Aperure there not in the same league, and you can pick up Aperture for the Same price as Capture NX on ebay brand new i would alwasy go for aperture far better value for money IMHO.

  • Lens Profile changes in ACR 6.2 update

    Before the update, I had perfectly aligned masks for hundreds of images using the Nikon 18-200mm lens.  However, when I now open their Smart Objects, make and change and close, a new distortion correction is being applied, ie. the masks are not longer aligned.  This is a major headache and it's not clear how I might go back to the original lens profile.  Even if it is worse, I am already invested in it with the masks.  Pushing out this change without due notice or way to ensure backward compatibility is a major shortfall.  I would be interested to hear how Adobe recommends I proceed?  Revert to ACR 6.1 and miss out on all future updates?  I highly recommend building legacy profiles into future updates.

    What ACR adjustments do you need to do to the image that can only be done in RAW format and cannot be done when ACR is editing a TIF after your initial ACR-conversion?  It seems as though you may need to modify your workflow to convert to TIF, and then re-edit that TIF with ACR and use that as the smart object on which to apply your masks.  TIFs only have relative WB adjustments, not absolute like RAW files, but if the WB is close you probably don't have to tweak things too much, although you'd want to be careful to create your initial set of TIFs with the same initial WB so you could tweak groups of images similarly with the same relative adjustments.
    For Adobe to accommodate what you're wanting they'd need to have the ACR version number where a profile came from as part of its name so ACR can match the specific profile used with old images.  I think Adobe messed up when they didn't do this, initially, but perhaps they feel it is still a beta period and don't want too many versions of each profile cluttering things until things have settled down.
    You asked, earlier, how to get the old profiles back. 
    On my Windows Vista/Win7 computers the Adobe-supplied lens profiles for Nikon are duplicated in two different places:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
    C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
    I think additional users-supplied profiles would go to the following place, although I'm not sure because I don't have any user-created lens profiles:
    C:\Users\-your-user-name-\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
    The way to get your old profiles back would be:
    Find the current Adobe-supplied profiles on your computer and remove them.
    Download and install the ACR 6.1 update.
    Find the profiles installed with that in the same places you removed the other ones from and save all these 6.1 profiles somewhere else.
    Download and install the ACR 6.2 update.
    It may be sufficient to copy the old 6.1 version of the profiles for the lenses you use into your user-profile-specific location and those would override whatever Adobe-supplied profiles there are, but I doubt it. 
    And if not, then what you'd want to do is edit the XML in the LCP files for ACR 6.1 for your lenses that you have already put into your user-profile-specific location and change the name to have the ACR version in it, so when you run LR or ACR, you know which ones are your old profiles and which are the current ones that Adobe has supplied.
    The remaining task is to re-assign this relabeled ACR-6.1-specific profile to your underlying images that have smart-objects in them to be able to use your masks with the old correction in place.
    Going forward it might be wise to also copy and relabel each profile for your lenses that have been updated...you may have to test things yourself to see if there are any differences.

  • Camera & Lens Profiles

    Can anyone explain the differences in the Camera Lens Profiles in ACR and the Lens Correction Filter in Photoshop CS6.
    Reason I ask is my D800 and Nikon 14-24mm lens is detected and correction applied in ACR, but the same camera and lens combination is not recognized in the Photoshop lens correction filter. The D800 is nowhere to be found. But interestingly the profiles for the D4 are
    Many folks have asked in the past when the D800 and Canon 5DM3 would be supported but all the attention has been focussed on ACR, so when will these profiles be available for Photoshop Lens Correction?
    Cheers
    MK

    There is no question that ACR provides the Camera/Lens Profiles - this thread is why there is a difference between the Lens Correction built into Photoshop CS6. Many camera and Lens combinations supported by ACR do not show up Photoshop's Lens correction - like the D300 is missing, the D800 is missing - but all there in ACR.....
    What I was hinting at was why is Photoshop not using the same profiles as ACR? Seems strange and more convoluted support model

  • Exif data from sb-800 flash (d70 camera)

    Hi
    Ive seen that aperture provides more exif data than iphoto or Photoshop elements. I did a test where I tried my various flash settings, ttl-balanced light, ttl (regular) but I don't see any differentiation in the exif data. This is important when reviewing images to see which I took using each setting, and learning which would be most useful in various sitations.
    Anyone who has a similar setup or has used exif for these type of flashes? If so, please post and perhaps let me know what I'm missing here.
    Thank you
    Greg

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply, and yes Capture NX does have this information there, I find this very useful for analysis of flash photos and what works best in different settings.
    May I ask:
    1. I have a VR Nikon 70-300 lens but the vr data is blank even in Capture NX (although I downloaded 1.3.1. Do you have a vr lens and was this data available?
    2. At a first glance, it appears aperture has more exif data than Capture but perhaps the specific data that Capture NX has is more useful?
    3. If you've used both Capture NX and Aperture (and/or other apps) for those with Nikon cameras which did you find most useful?
    Thanks
