    CF express type b card reader for windows ?

    I have a Benfei that my daughter ordered from amazon. It works fine on my HP laptop running windows 11. Runs about $20. I can transfer the high resolution files from my Z7ii in short order. Loading them through a USB cable takes forever. Hopefully it's not something in your setup. I didn't do...

    Refurbished/renewed?

    I'm not a big fan of Nikon's refurbished gear. I have bought 3 refurb items and am batting 1 for 3. The first lens I got was fine. I got another and it was bad out of the box. I had to return for refund and reorder, and the next one died less than a year out with very light usage. I've had...

    My family and I really enjoyed the Endeavour series. The Inspector Morse series was very good as well.

    I always thought these helicopters look like some kind of weird dragonfly. I'll stick with fixed wing, thank you.

    D3300 / TT685II-N settings for bar / club etc photos?

    Any exposure longer than 1/200 sec will sync with your D3300. The 685 will do High Speed Sync, if you put it in that mode. The down side is that you lose flash power in HSS. I don't know if there is a formula for how much you lose, but I have noticed that in manual mode, if I turn on HSS and...

    I will say that digital takes away the need for a lot of filters. Right now, I can only see the need for ND and polarizer filters. At least with the shooting I do.

    Clovis' Nikon Nuggets

    Decided to set the macro aside this morning and head over to Magnolia Plantation and be there around sunrise. I really hate to get up early, but managed to drag myself out of bed and make my way over there. I don't know if I'm just out of practice, or there just wasn't much going on. I know...

    They were considerably cheaper than the old standby filter brands like Tiffen and Hoya, and seemed to be of decent quality. A friend bought me a set of no name filters off Amazon. While I greatly appreciated the thought, they were absolutely horrible. Plastic filter material, and they ended up...

    With the weather cooling off, and sunrise getting later, the Pup an I are looking to go back to Boneyard Beach to do some trees in the surf photography in the coming months. I decided I wanted to do some long exposure shots, so I ordered a 10 stop ND to fit my 24-70. I ended up with one of those...

    Z8 playback and all rear buttons become unusable unit battery is reseated

    Do you have a second battery to try? The other thing would be to clean the contacts on the battery and the camera. Other than that, I would call Nikon CS.

    D3300 / TT685II-N settings for bar / club etc photos?

    The 685 is a great flash IMO. I have one that I use primarily for macro work. TTL and auto should be a good place to start. If it gives you the results you want, then stick with it. I will mention that the 685 has two built in diffusers. If you look carefully at the head there are two little...
