Are you referring to a split-prism where you align the 2 halves of what is in the circle with each other? That is installed in the viewfinder, not the lens. I know over the years different kinds of focusing screens were made for SLR viewfinders, but the split-prism was by far the most common...

There were some comments and questions when I shared last week that I had bought it. I decided it was fair to show the size of the lens compared to some others I have. Personally I think Nikon did a remarkable job keeping the lens as compact as they did. In a line, MC Z105mm f/2.8, Z14-24mm...

Point taken. So then it is just a matter of updating the camera firmware.

I will lead off with this: Check for new firmware for your Z7, especially if it is the original Z7 and not the current Z7-II. When I first brought home my Z5 (which is an even newer camera) it would give me a compatibility error message for the FTZ-II. The Z5 needed an upgrade to use the FTZ-II...

Interesting, Nikonrumors.com has not made any mention of a Z90. They tend to filter out stuff that is not likely true, but of course not perfect at that either. I think Nikon sees DX as an entry-level thing and full-frame as the level-up. But for myself, I have left APS-C format behind and am...

All I know is that it's a BF Camera to play with. :D :D

I think we have 7 cooks telling you at the same time you have too much salt and use less salt in your broth. Follow your heart Clovis and make the image all yours.

I don't know about that specific combination. But I have a couple of thoughts about solving your problem. I understand the 8-15mm is a full-frame lens, but I am reading between the lines here and believe you previously used it on a D7200. With the crop-factor of the D7200, you had a 12mm field...

"That child looked a lot smaller when I was hungry!"

Sorry Lisa, that adapter is the most likely cause of your woes. What you really want is the Nikon built part. Either the FTZ or the FTZ-II. I did a fast search at Kamerastore (a major used camera gear site in Finland I believe) and turned up the original FTZ...

Cindy, It has a special-shaped pinch-on plastic lens cover (it only fits in one orientation). It takes rear gel filters and if you fit the HB-97 lens-hood there is filter threads inside to use a front filter. That is the reason I am shopping for that lens hood. There is also an aftermarket hood...

Had to update my signature. Came home from the camera store today with a used Z14-24mm f/2.8. It was my intended next lens to buy and fill a hole in my zoom range. When looking up lenses for somebody else this past week I discovered the lens at my local store available. Unfortunately the only...

Isn't it a great feeling inside to finally conquer that evil box of magic? :)

Post your resolution please. It helps the next person searching for the same answer. :)

Taken with my Lumix camera, these came out a lot less fuzzy through the windshield than my cellphone camera did. I was way too close to exit the car without scaring the birds away.

Catching up on stuff here. My Tensegrity Table from the January monthly assignment. And for the Weekly Photo Challenge.

I am not sure I would have the talent to track moving aircraft zoomed in to 400mm (600mm with the crop factor) just looking with the viewscreen. It is hard enough to do when you can use a viewfinder and track along with head movement. I would need a tripod and gimbal head.

Lisa, was the lens bought used? If so and a previous owner also had the Sigma dock, I could believe pretty easily that the focus was customized for another camera body. Or at least attempted and done poorly. It is something that can be done with the software, but I never had a reason to try...

Depending on how large of a TV you might have available, you can use the HDMI connector of the D810 for LiveView. Copied from the manual: HDMI and Live View When the camera is connected via an HDMI cable, HDMI displays can be used for live view photography and movie live view (0 48, 59). Note...
