Greylag Goose Redshank - Waldringham, Suffolk< UK & Greylag Goose with Barnacle Goose in background Testing possibilities of using Nikkor 1 70-300 on n1 j5 body (using cheap loupe to replace non-existent viewfinder)

I am 75 but still an active walker within my range, but found DSLR and 80-400 lens etc just too much to carry and despite enigmatic reviews got an n1 v3 just over a year ago; came with 10-30 & 30-110 lenses to which I added 70-300 lens (for wildlife) and clip on viewfinder. A decision I haven't...

It certainly is NOT big compared to anything else with anywhere like this range! I am 75 and was having to chose which lenses to take out walking with D7000 and decided to downsize to Nikon 1 v3 just over a year ago. The lens is not only extremely good quality, but very fast camera-autofocus. I...

There was an unbelievable number of dust spots after my last trip. I tried cleaning with Arctic Butterfly brush several times, but always one or two would not go away. Time for swabbing the decks! I used to do it regularly with D80, but no one kit was distinctly reliable. I am pleased to report...

I have 187 of 189 .nef files taken one day last week in an unusable or corrupted condition. I used Nikon Transfer 2 to download from D7000 via USB cable and it is set to open Nikon View NX 2.3 after download and delete images on card after transfer….the same as I have done nearly every day for...

This lens came as the kit lens for D80 and I suppose has been in use for 5 years I am increasingly finding I get an f0 reading and no a/f when mounting it. It can usually be overcome by slight jiggling, there is a bit of wear at the ned of the plastic bayonet OR cleaning the contacts. In the...

I noticed this while thinking about using Bracketing & gave it a whirl today. Anyone else tried it an/or have any views what ads/disads it might have over normal 1/3 EV steps? I think I like the idea; after my 1st 2.5 months use, I find the dynamic range of the camera is a totally different...

The truck at the back is about 40 years old, bought for my oldest daughter and left out-doors, in sandpit etc by 2 later sprogs. The train in front was bought for 1st daughters children about 5 years ago and as they (and other grandchildren/friends) do not stay that long, have had an easier...

While still playing with the set-up of my newish D7000, I picked up the thread directing one to Ken Rockwell's set up guide and was surprised he is pretty adamant camera should be set to sRGB & in turn directs to his fuller discussion sRGB vs. Adobe RGB I have so far been among the possibly...

Having read the manual, paper and pdf, I have managed to reduce to 3 playback screens: (1) the basic one that I think you have to have & OK as it also shows the point you focussed on (2) the highlights screen that has been my primary exposure guide for last 4 years on D80 - but the RGB flashes...

The 'UK' was assembled by force and the outer limbs are getting a minute amount of independence; although I have washed up here in Herefordshire, my loyalty is to the human race I found the forum seeking detailed info on D7000, which i have had all of 3 weeks after 4 happy years with D80 and...
