    Zf Released!

    Since the auto-focus systems are so ubiquitous and smooth, you almost don't need the lens focus ring, so you can re-program the focus ring on the lens to change the ISO or for exposure compensation...

    Clean the lens contacts...It's not making an electrical connection. There's a product named "DeoxIT D5" that's designed to clean electrical contacts... spray a bit on a cotton swab and use it... I use it on all my cameras for years...

    playing with the z180-600

    Yup... It's gotta go thru the Apple system, and Apple wants their cut$ and it's pretty difficult to monetize a simple EXIF extension to compensate Apple without a supporting package of other software...

    playing with the z180-600

    I use MS Edge on a MAC because it's better than Safari... it's chromium based so basic chromium extensions work.

    playing with the z180-600

    Extensions are Browser specific... Did you install the extension to Safari, separately? If you use 5 different browsers, you'll need to install the specific extension for each browser.

    Topaz Photo AI 2 Supposedly a major Update

    I wouldn't "buy" it... They still have a lot of issues... as mentioned, they're getting a LOT of pressure from the lower-end user community that wants a one click does everything product and it's siphoning off resources needed to fix stuff that doesn't work as planned.

    Calibrating a lens to Nikon D7200

    Maybe you should describe what exactly it is you're doing and what you mean by "lens alignment" because the place you do that on a Nikon in the menu is also where that "alignment" is saved.
