Q: 7. For zoom lenses, do you need to only calibrate the lens at one focal length or should you calibrate the lens at transitional points (24, 35, 50, and 70mm for a 24-70mm zoom)? If so, is the in camera's CPU smart enough to blend the "different" calibrations as the lens is zoomed.

Q: 10. Will this Work for Nikon 80-400G lense

A: Yes, it works with the 80-400mm.You'll need a sturdy tripod (I used a gitzo series 3) and good light. Other than that, follow the distance guide from the focal website, which is about 26ft from a 150mm target. It is harder to get the target setup initially at 400mm, but works fine.

[2.05 lb] It was a fun read. This was the first book I bought and it was well worth it. There are good tips and I learned a few things. I am picking up one of the other books in the series because I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend for a new photographer or even one with some experience! 5

[November, 2012] Book has a a detailed information about settings and example photos of different settings beeing used. This is not a picture book - there is a lot to read. Helped me a lot to better understand night shooting. 5

[Focal Press] Great for any enthusiast who wants to move to the next step. It's like having a friend next to you who shares all he/she knows to help you improve. For better results one should buy and read the prior two volumes. 5

[Focal Press] Even though some of the technology information in the book is getting dated, the information is very valuable both for beginners and those who have some night photography experience. My favorite part was the night photography history not found in other books. Definitely a must read! 5
