I used that 28-300 for a number of years. On car models it worked well on between 35 to 50mm at f/11 to f/22. Experimentaion is key, mark down your results for future use.
Thank you for your very diplomatic response.....I have neither of the two tele`s pictured.......If you had to make a choice of which to buy for diecast photography which one would be your preference?
Is this the shot you are referring to Tony? Aesthetically its a fantastic setup, balanced, detailed, color and layout are all spot on. Initially we take it in as a whole, then our eyes are naturally drawn to viewing the detail. Great stuff John

Yeppers. The wife and I are train buffs. Love old steam locomotives and, of course, the water towers played a major role in keeping them moving. Great shows on RFD Channel; 'Trains & Locomotives'. They feature lots of steam propulsion over the newer diesels. I love both.

I also took that to be the one Tony pointed out Geoff .it is a crop of a larger photo.....all those shots were taken approx a year ago.......back then I had a zoom lens I was pleased with......that lens was lost in a tragic lawn mower indecent this past summer...I may have taken that shot with the zoom,but I have no way of knowing that.....I generally change lenses during a shoot ......so even within a single shoot, one of several lenses may be the actual birth mother.......EXIF data on an original photo can be used to determine the lens used........once a shot has been cropped,the cropped image will no longer contain the EXIF data......I am not the most coherent communicator,so I apologize if my explanation is somewhat raggedy

I have a friend,20 years my junior.....4 or 5 years back, he took his wife and young son to visit a Polar Express entertainment destination exhibit/park.......Y`ever take the great great great grandchildren to something like that?
@perrone1 .........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sweet !!! Thanks Tony !!!!!
You're more than welcome. I currently have 5 Nikon DSLR's. On most of them, I overlap the lens coverage. For instance, if I use an 18-55, I'd also employ a 70-200 for that camera, depending on its purpose. For landscape photography I have favored, more recently, the Gold Ring Series lenses, AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR for general work with the 105mm ED for close-ups and then overlap with the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED.

THANK YOU !!!!!
I was doing ok until I discovered that my 2 newer PRIME lenses could capture decent photos in the dark of night (most likely from flashlight beams reflected off Pluto).......sometime after that I broke,and subsequently discovered that my zoom lens was a DX (and likely always HAD BEEN)
so now,without a decent zoom I hope the next one is more low light capable that the last one was (55-300)
lemme ask ya....is the numerical size of this number an indicator of light gathering?

Yes, the smaller the aperture number, like f/1.4, the wider open the lens is to gather ambient light. The smaller the aperture opening (Higher f stop number, like f/45, the less light taken in BUT sharper focus and depth of field.)

Ya want CAKE ???? is that to EAT or HAVE ???......Old Tommy tried to warn us didn`t he?
Thanks Tony....I am more grateful than you can imagine for your sharing your knowledge

I like it a lot too but it would be better with the Petticoat Junction ladies frolicking in it.
Have you any inkling as to how difficult it is to locate Petticoat Junction 1/24 action figures ????
Let`s just say the various Jo`s are in the tank on an unseasonably frigid day.........just moments before this photo was taken they had cleverly pulled the lid closed behind themselves
