    BF Hammer 2026: Me and my Zf

This brings me to ask do you want to go full frame or stay with APS-C size sensor? Nikon seems concentrated on full frame and you are in...

    Post your favorite April 2026 shot

    This was my accidental favorite, in trying to spark interest for a weekly I traveled to this drive in. Being a warm day it was crazy crowded I'm dodging cars in the parking lot with my tripod and this angle looked the best. Knowing and accounting for the highlight/shadow changes in post I made...

    FX - DX confusion

    I think that's correct operation, the way I understand the D850 manual the DX lens will trigger DX mode and cannot be overridden - I only have one DX lens left I keep on the D7200
