Hi. I bought my D750 with the 24-120 f4 about four years ago, and I really enjoy it. Prior to that I had a D3100 with the 18-55 kit which I then passed down to my daughter. She now has a D700 so the 3100 is surplus to requirements. I also have Sony Nex-6 with the tiny PZ 16-50 which I bought...

yes I did a reset, and I found how to set the compensation and made sure it's set to zero (it was)

The read lines I mention above are a complete red herring and a very silly mistake on my part. The transmitter has a focus assist pattern that it's shining on the subject area and that's what I'm seeing through the viewfinder. How silly of me.

there is another weird thing. With the transmitter attached I get a red box showing me what the camera is focusing on (as normal) but the focusing area is also full of faint vertical and horizontal red lines in a or sort of chequeplate pattern.

Hi I bought a Yongnuo YN622N kit and I am struggling a bit with it. I have a Nikon D750 and SB-700 speedlight. Problem 1. it says in the instructions that to go from manual to TTL I need to long press the GP/mode button on the transceiver and set it to orange for manual or green for TTL. I...

There is something that I don't understand. On a DSLR a small proportion of light (if I understand correctly) goes through the mirror and hits a second mirror that points the image down to an AF sensor. This AF sensor detects whether light is in phase in specific focus points, or not, and if not...

I took some indoor headshot portraits with my kit 24-120 f4 and was a little underwhelmed, and was also watching the "Angry Photographer" https://www.youtube.com/user/kathodosdotcom and he is always raving about the 180 f/2.8. Okay he raves about lots of things but the 180mm is cheap and seems...

Sometimes a Nikon D750 is just too big, like maybe if you are going to a social gathering of some kind. So today I picked up a Sony NEX-6 with the tiny Power Zoom 16-50 for £228 with six month warranty from a camera shop. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but you don't get to pick up and...

I just upgraded from a D3100 to a D750 (about four weeks ago). The D3100 rarely came out of Auto mode, but now my daughter is doing wonderful things with it so I got to upgrade. One of the things I saw in Tony Northrup's wonderful tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmT4wVNTTjE) was Back...

I bought a 70-300 AF-S VR on ebay a few days ago and today it arrived. It was described by the seller as "Used - but in excellent condition." which is one of the reasons I bought this particular one. I just tried is on my brand new D750 (which works perfectly with my 24-120 F4) and when I try to...

I have my D750 and some lenses, and I have a Sony DSC-HX20V for when I'm out and about and not planning to take photos but it's small enough to carry anyway. I notice that one can get Nikon 1 J3 with 10-30mm now for about £120 on ebay. It seems like a lot of small camera for very little money...

First trip out with my new D750. We went to Whipsnade for the day. Some shots are taken with the kit 24-120mm and others with an old plastic mount 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G lens that originally came with my F55 film camera. I also took some nice head shots of my daughter but she doesn't want me to...

I bought my D750 a couple of weeks ago, and a pair of fast 128Gb SD cards. For the first time I started to mess with raw NEF format. I followed the advice to save to both cars in NEF+JPEG(Fine). Last Sunday we went to Whipsnade zoo and had a play, and that evening had a look at the results. I...

Hello I bought a D750 with 24-120 f/4 a couple of weeks ago. I have been trying to post some photos from my Flickr account but so far the site isn't letting me. Maybe after a few posts....
