    D7200 Viewfinder vs. D610

    Hey all! I am looking to upgrade my D5300 body. A great camera by all rights, but I once owned a D610, and that pentaprism viewfinder seemed to make a world of difference on brightness and ease of use. Those of you who have, or have had many bodies can confirm that I will probably be happy...

    My Pinhole Pro Arrived

    I have not had a lot of time to experiment with it. Tonight was the first night I kept notes of my aperture settings! And without a light meter, I am pretty much just shooting in the dark, to see what is what. Everything was shot JPEG, because I am clueless in the digital darkroom. I have...

    If You're Bored with your Camera Read This Book https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Bored-your-Camera-Read/dp/1781574316 Not much to say here. Some might find it useful. I know nothing about the author. At my job, I see book titles come across my desk before they are published. If it is about...

    Photomic with no Model ID?

    My step-son was given this beauty! I don't have it nearby to look it over, but I was surprised when it did not have a F# on the front! Can anyone offer any insight?

    Advice on Remote Trigger for D300

    Hey folks. I have an opportunity to buy a Nikon ML-3 remote for $75. Should I grab it, or are there other 3rd party options that I would end up preferring (other features, etc.). This one looks nice, includes the bag and everything. I bought a wired trigger on Amazon for $12, but they sent me...

    Need Suggestions for Offline PP Software

    I am giving up my internet connection at home, so I need suggestions on processing software that I could buy, rather than have a online subscription. Suggestions? It will be a PIA, being dark, but I want to give it a try. Rates keep going up, and there are only two players in town, Xfinity...

    Re: RobV's Job Hunt

    Re: RobV's Job Hunt Well, I don't want to degrade the Moon Shot thread with my own personal job hunting drama, but that job didn't work out. It was supposed to be data entry for a chiropractor, but it didn't work out. The same day (Thursday) that we agreed that it wasn't for me, I received...

    My Brother Borrowed My Camera

    Man! I am Jonesin' (suffering from withdrawal) BAD! My brother, his wife, and their youngest son are away for 9 days on the Boy Scout Band tour, going as far as Montana, I believe. I just sold my motorcycle, so I finally had the money to get a UV filter, and a couple of 32 gig cards at my...

    Shutter Speed in EXIF on nikonites

    I don't understand why my EXIF information on this forum always adds an extra zero to both sides of the shutter speed (10/1250). I have seen images from other contributors with it showing correctly. It does show correctly in my Photo Gallery on Windows 10. Thanks.

    I Am Impressed

    $450 refurb D5300 w/18-55 kit lens gives me this! Cropped from the original image. I don't know the terminology for the crop factor, but this is just the center flower, no resizing. The second picture is the original, resized to 1000 on the long side.

    The "In's and Out's" of Program Mode

    With my latest camera (D5300), I have decided to give Program Mode a try, especially after reading the reference manual. ISO is Auto. When I was first playing around with it, I was sitting in my living room, and it didn't appear to work as the manual described. Just now, I stepped outside for...

    Taking Equipment (bodies & lenses) Out Into the Cold

    It is finally cold here in Indiana, and I am wondering about condensation when taking lenses from the house to the outside. I originally was thinking about lenses, but I would imagine camera bodies could also suffer. Advice?

    Nikon 300mm f/4 AF - 1987-2000

    Nikon's names for all of their 300mm f4(ish) lenses are all so similar, I thought I would put the year in the title for clarity. Just came today. My camera is only a week old, but I am hot for some moon pictures! Honestly, I thought I was getting the AF-S when I ordered it, but that just shows...
