    CT-16 or FC-16

    I am a little confused as to what the difference is between the Neewer CT-16 and Neewer FC-16. The FC-16 has a higher frequency but apart from that what is the essential difference? Thanks Brian :confused:

    Funny noise?

    I was out this morning along the river Leven in Cumbria (totally irrelevant really), I noticed that occasionally when I tilted the lens downwards it made a noise as if the mirror was rising and falling. Didn't do it all of the time but a little concerning. Does anyone have any clues as to what...

    67mm filter on a 77mm lens

    I have two filters, a 67mm ND and a 67mm Polariser. I have two adapter rings to use on two of my lenses, the problem is one lens has a 77mm filter size. Is it feasible to use an adapter ring to use the 67mm filters on a 77mm lens? This would save my buying 77mm filters. Is it really worth...

    New (used) D8**** series

    I am considering getting a D8*** series camera hopefully utilising my existing DX lens until I can afford 'proper' lens. I am sure that I have read somewhere that some DX lens's cannot be used on a full frame camera. Is this true? Also, if the DX lens can be used then surely it simply converts...

    Problem using Fn button

    I cannot figure out how to use the Fn button, I had the same problem with my D90 so the problem is me. I have followed instructions from various sources to no avail. For instance, I want to use the horizon line when Fn is pressed but when I set it up for this and press Fn nothing happens. I must...

    Camera setting for Neewer 750ii flash

    Sorry for asking so many stupid questions. I have just bought a Neewer 750ii, mainly because I cannot afford a 'real' one. My questions are: (1) If I mount it on the camera hot-shoe, what setting should the camera be on i.e. P, S or A (or anything else). (2) I have the wireless bits CT-16 to use...

    D7000 overexposing?

    Having just bought a D7000 I now read a lot of comments about it constantly overexposing. Is this a fact? or it's not being used properly. Please bear in mind that I am a relative newby to digital SLR's. Thanks Brian :confused:

    D90 exchanged for D7000

    Will be getting my 'new' (shutter count 5000) D7000 soon. Similar to D90 so shouldn't be too difficult to learn. Brian

    D90 or D3400?

    I am considering exchanging my D90 for a D3400 (cannot afford a D3500). Is it worth the bother? Thanks Brian

    Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM

    I have a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM used just for general messing about. I wonder if I should have bought the f3.5 version. Is there really much difference in quality between the two? Thanks Brian

    Dirty lens

    Just bought a used Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens. It's in pretty good nick but the front lens looks to be slightly greasy. Tries a Lenspen to no avail and also some Optical Wonder fluid. Still looks a bit grubby. Any ideas for cleaning the lens properly? I have had loads of lenses and never...

    Problem with shutter or aperture priority?

    Just put on my new/old Tamron SP AF 60mm f2 Di-II LD (IF) lens. When I put the D90 to either aperture or shutter priority something happens that doesn't seem right. For example, if I set it to aperture priority, say f4. Take a picture then tried to change it to some other aperture, it will not...

    F(N) 75 lens on a D90

    I have a F(N) camera with a 28-80 lens. Will this be OK to use on my D90? Also, the grip on the F75 has gone very tacky, is there a way of restoring it? Thanks in anticipation Brian

    Beeping sound from my Sigma 17-70mm

    Just received my used Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS lens. Looks to be in good condition. Attached it to my D90, switched it on and the lens was making a quiet beeping sound almost like morse code (maybe someone is sending me a subliminal message). It is there whether it is on auto, manual...
