Well, I hope you get this straightened out soon. My daughter has a D5600 with that lens, and several others and loves the camera. I assume you don't have another lens to try out. To rule out the lens, you might be able to get a local camera retailer to allow you to mount one of their lenses to...

Did you push the button on the zoom ring and twist the ring clockwise until it reaches 18mm on the ring?

You aren't in LV mode are you? You might try a reset to factory settings.

I will write up a review after I get it. It's supposed to come in middle of the week. I won't wait for my birthday. I know, no self control. The Pup and I are planning on the twice delayed trip to the Birds of Prey center later in the week. If it comes on time I will get a chance to try it out...

Hey, even a blind hog finds an ear of corn every once in a while.

Here you go. Amazon motorized camera dolly

Maybe a tripod with wheels?

OK, ya'll talked me into it. Benro TMA37AL ordered. I appreciate all the comments.

Well, until recently, it was occasional use. Since I got the long tele and a gimbal head, I use it a lot. I think I may have talked myself into one. I really like the looks of that Benro. I think the biggest problem is that I hate to replace something that is still working, unless it is a...

Not sure I could find the tripod I want used. I checked out KEH and B&H, and nothing popped up that looked likely. There were a couple that I could have lived with, but not what I really wanted. Local pawn shops likely to only have Wally World specials that are beat up and priced near new retail.

Yes, I looked at the Benro online as a possibility if I decide to upgrade. I agree that I like twist locks better. The levers are prone to damage, although at my age I don't need to look much past 15 years of use. I also prefer 3 section. They are longer, but are quicker to deploy vs 4 section...

Yes, I can get repair parts. They are either used, or NOS, and the critical component is plastic. It would cost over$100 to replace all 6 levers. Not worth it. The repairs I made are working just fine, and I don't anticipate a sudden failure, I can lock or unlock the segment with an 8mm socket...

I have an older Bogen (pronounced Manfrotto) 3021 tripod. It has been a great tripod with a lot of great features. It still performs well, but it showing it's age, as am I. The biggest issue is the plastic locking levers on the legs have all broken. I cleaned the remnants of them up and epoxied...

Yes, you do tend to loose some detail when you de-noise.

Needa, I edited that photo using masking to control two different areas get noise reduction individually. I choose object mask and painted the two spoonbills. This clearly identified the two birds. I find subject mask often includes extraneous items. I then clicked on more options for this mask...

Well, I can't help the OP, but want to thank everyone for the discussion of noise reduction. I normally shoot at lower ASA settings, and don't often have noise issues. I shot some early morning wildlife pictures yesterday and some of them were noisy. I had completely forgotten about the noise...

Badly backlit which required a lot of post processing. The underside of the bird was too underexposed to get much detail, without a ton of noise. Still, I don't get a chance to get a shot of an eagle in flight every day.

Well, I really enjoyed the outing. Really glad I had a glove in my jacket pocket. My shooting hand got numb even with the glove on. I'm not sure I got any really good shots, although I got a bunch of decent ones. There were a pair of eagles there, I got some long shots. I also got a couple of...

Decided to take advantage of the expanded hours for members they run twice a month at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens this morning. It's just after 5:30 in the morning and I have worked the evening shift most of my life, so this isn't what I'm used to doing this time of day. Anyway, I'll take a...
