I saw the announcement. I don't think there is any issue with skipping versions. There were only 2 listed fixes on the release notes related to specific settings not being retained after a power cycle.

Yes the 17-55mm DX lens can be used in a crop mode with the D850. But it will just be using the middle 24MP of that sensor. So not much reason to upgrade from a D500 is there unless you also invest in full-frame lenses?

Another non-Nikon solution (maybe). https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nctdw2w1bh8?hl=en-us&gl=US It also appears that if you might install something like RawTherapee on you computer for editing, the open-source RawLib extension is installed with that. So that may also make things work.

Assuming you are viewing with a Windows PC here. Nikon Rumors reported in April about the NEF codec is no longer available to download at Nikon. https://nikonrumors.com/2025/04/08/it-seems-that-nikon-no-longer-offer-nef-nrw-codec-download-option-on-their-website.aspx/ Reddit has a thread about...

@Clovishound I read it with xlFr in Firefox. I'm also running Exify for the hover-view of basic exif info. But I think I see where you are going wrong. First click on his image attachment to view the pop-up full screen image. Then right-click and view exif.

The Nikon ML-L3 uses CR-2025 cell in a slide-out holder. I would guess the imitators would try to copy that. I believe the IR sensor of the D750 is not as good as other cameras. I originally bought my remote for a D80, and have also used sparingly for a D7000, D750. I never liked that IR remote...

Gilbertson's Store in Keyser, WI

The same harbor in Kenosha, WI as the other lighthouse I photographed. The "historic" lighthouse and lightkeeper's home now preserved as a museum.

DigiKam makes a good compliment to RawTherapee for importing and organizing image files. It can also do some simple image adjustments. Organization is not something that is easily done in RawTherapee, which is something I would ask developers to add in as extra features...

RawTherapee will process jpg, tif, as well as Raw.

Here is an example of manipulating Depth Of Field with your f-stop. At f/2.8 with a 90mm lens first. And shrinking the Aperture to f/16 and rotating the subject for a flatter plane to the camera sensor. The physics of the lenses means that my 90mm lens in the example will give a wider DOF...

You write in a lot of detail in your question, but we are missing some information still. A sample of one of your photos will help so we can see the exif data and understand your exposure settings. At 1:1 distance for a macro lens, your focal plane can be quite narrow. That means your gem in 3D...

Some updates on the project. The old tablet with Android 4.1 required to have Fotoo side-loaded after I downloaded a many versions from many sites until I found 1 that worked. Discovered it was the premium (paid) version that was installed. It does work perfectly, but cannot log in to Google at...
