    Z7 Problems

    I have a Z7. The live view will not come on. I have replaced the battery, removed the rubber eyecup, turned on and off several times. Worked last night but not when I need it, this morning. Open to all suggestions.

    Aperture question

    I picked up a D5100 with a Sigma 70-300 DG lens for in the kayak along. I have down loaded the owners manual on line but cannot figure out how to change the aperture without going into aperture mode, I'm in manual mode. What am I missing? I know I can't expect much for $50.00.

    500 f/4 vs 500 f/5.6

    Trying to decide which way to go. Is the 1 stop worth the extra weight? What about image quality? Will probably have a TC1.4 attached most if not all the time. Oh I hate these decisions. I'll be 62 in March, so weight will be a factor soon, and do a lot of hiking to get away from the...

    Teleconverter question

    I use a D850 and Sigma 100 x 400 lens for most of my wildlife photography. I would like to extend my range a little. I have been studying and reading everything I can find on teleconverters. That said, most say that with this combination it's a guessing game as to weather your autofocus will...

    Sigma docking station

    Thinking about getting one. Are they worth it? How about some real life testimony. I've read on another forum they can make ART lenses out of any Sigma lens, really?

    Curiosity macro question

    First I know very little about macro. As I was reading though some of the posts I started thinking about something. If a person uses a bellow or extension tubes do you have to use a macro lens? ( I'm guessing no.) Also any benefit if you do? Thanks.

    I am looking to move up in the camera world. Deciding between D750 and D810. When reading descriptions, and with that said most are copy and paste Nikon descriptions, they all say import model. My question, does this matter any more? I've emailed this question to several sellers, Abe's...
