Is the name of the company listed on that head? Sometimes quick release plates need to be made by the manufacturer. It definitely doesn't take an Arca Swiss plate and doesn't look like a Manfrotto plate either.

In the past, I used Cokin filters with my 35mm Nikon film body. No issues with it. Although I still have them, I never used them on any DSLR. For Cokin, you can purchase the filter rings to match the size threads on your lenses (no step up or step down rings needed but costs more due to buying...

At the end of the 1990's, I took a B&W adult photography class at my local high school. They offer adult education in a variety of fields. I found I preferred T-Max much more than Tri-X. For those who aren't aware, T-Max has more contrast than Tri-X. Lots of fun memories printing B&W images in...

Hello and welcome to Nikonites! Glad to hear you are going to pursue your love of photographing the stars! The D850 is a fantastic camera. Have fun and enjoy your new journey.

That is absolutely adorable!

Does the lens have any hyperfocal distance markings on it? If so, there is a way to manually focus using that gauge on the lens. Most manufacturers removed the hyperfocal markings when AF DSLR lenses emerged. But on many older manual focus lenses, you will see the marks.

Although I have a few different ND filters, including one that is a variable ND filter, the only one at hand when I took these was a 10-stop. So I chose to use it anyway. However, I do want to find my 3-stop, 6-stop, and variable ND filters. The nice thing with most screw on filters is if you...

That 'fan' display on the top didn't go over well with a lot of owners. I had to sit down with the owner's manual to figure it out.

Nice collection! Reminds me somewhat of my previous cameras. I started out with an Ansco 126 camera followed by a Kodak 110. From there I went to a Yashica rangefinder to a Minolta XG-M 35mm then to an Olympus 35mm point and shoot with a zoom. Finally I switched to Nikon and still have my Nikon...

This is exquisite!

Around what area did you live in New Jersey, @Sandpatch? And in what state was the train image taken? I'm just a couple miles away from NJ in Pennsylvania, but there aren't any cliffs around here unless I head 35 to 40+ minutes north of here. I moved to Woodbridge, NJ for 5 years before...

The viewfinder will go black when you are in Live View. I haven't used the grid feature myself, but maybe someone else who is knowledgeable about its function will be along to help you.

For some reason, I don't have a low resolution image saved to my hard drive, and when trying to resize the original .psd file, the image gets crunchy (overly sharp). So I will share the original Nikonites link to this image which is my favorite image. My editing style has changed over the...
