When the third of my 3 brothers died early in 2022 he had some Nikon film gear. His darkroom stuff was all ruined in a basement flood. Cameras were kept safe but had issues. He had a non-descript off-brand 2x F-mount teleconverter. No autofocus or CPU pins. Kind of limited use to me. I did...

That had been an off-topic discussion on another forum I visit. On June 2nd #4014 will making a stop just about 105 miles from home. A possible day trip if taking another day off work this year isn't a problem. I do have some photos of #4017 preserved at a railroad museum in Green Bay. That was...

Some shots I took during lunchtime but could not edit and perhaps enter into the "Parks" weekly challenge in time. I used a Fuji Provia color profile on the first photo, B/W shots are my own red filter custom profile.

Without realizing it I have amassed a few JJC items over time. Good middle-of-the-road type of quality in general.

A low-effort IR photo at Marshall Park in Middleton, WI.

Nicely done Marilynne!

I have a story from 2022 about the Zfc. I had a D750 and a D7000 then and was looking to trade the D7000 for something else. Maybe something fun as I was using the D750 as the primary camera and I liked it. I had mixed feelings about the state of Nikon in general then. I actually started to...

I just ordered an aftermarket aluminum hood by NiSi that has the 112mm filter thread. The Z14-24mm lens I have came without either hood. I presume that is why I got it for a bit cheaper. The aftermarket hood makes a point that the plastic Nikon version leaves gaps for light to leak through if...

Two of these 6-battery holders maybe? https://www.amazon.com/EN-EL15C-NP-W235-Organizer-Water-Resistant-Shockproof/dp/B0BJ23RTF7?th=1

The answer is that it is 100mm for both size sensors. A DX format lens is projecting a smaller circle of light to cover a smaller sensor, but the physical size of the image is still for 100mm focal length. FX 100mm lens projects the same size image but the circle of light is larger. Micro Four...

Mmm, tastes like hippo poo.

Focal length is an absolute value and is not adjusted for sensor size. The answer you are looking for is no. The focal length describes the size of the image projected on the plane of the sensor or film. But the size of that sensor or film stock can range from tiny to huge. We have settled on...

Trailer parks?

Share the results please. It will benefit future people researching.

The 50mm might be a bit too wide with a full frame sensor. I do remember reading that it would work with a 60mm macro on a DX sensor. That equals 90mm lens on full-frame. But I was researching to use with a D750 and a Tamron 90mm back then. Really the ES-2 is a plastic holder that attaches to...

It would be expensive, but your Z7 is the best tool. Expensive in that you will need a good macro lens like the Z MC 105mm f/2.8 plus a film/slide scanning adapter. You will take a photo of each slide or negative focused at macro distance with much higher resolution than those cheap...

Congrats Bill! Sorry I was feeling too ill to get out this week.

Several weeks ago I had dug out my 45 year old Reflex NIKKOR C 500mm f/8 lens and disassembled it. I cleaned the mirrors and lenses with lint-free lens wipes to try to remove a film I could kind of see, and it seemed to make the photos soft and fuzzy. I did not test right away, and I did not...

Wednesday night at sunset as a thunderstorm was leaving.

Now the test with a cheap aftermarket 2x teleconverter and focus peaking turned on. Manual focus at 1000mm handheld is pushing beyond camera and my abilities I believe. These photos have no crop applied. On the first bird the AF system did grab on to the eye of the bird and put a box on it, but...
