    Feed back on black birds.

    You got better feather detail than I did last year with my blackbirds. But I looked, was using matrix metering and no compensation. I also was not planning to photograph blackbirds at a place named Goose Pond. ;)

    The new MonsterAdapter F to Z adapter has officially been announced.

    I am not sure it is available yet. Remember tariff uncertainty also.

    Macro Motion Sickness

    I can sympathize. I can sometimes start to get vertigo looking through a viewfinder from a very elevated place. It has happened to me photographing from a fire tower in a park. I also had to give up on playing any 1st-person-shooter type video games 30 years ago when the CPUs finally became...

    Nikon D7000 + Tamron AF 70-300 f/4-5.6 (172DN) fEE Error - Need Help!

    I am having a nostalgia trip just reading the hardware. I am sure I had that Tamron lens and a D7000, but not at the same time. The Tamron was such a frustrating slow AF to use on my D80's that I junked it after getting a similar Nikon screw-drive 70-300. But I do have a relevant story for a...

    Importing photos from Nikon cameras to Photoshop Elements 14.

    Ray, I am just going to chime in with my own solution with free software. NX Studio is a perfectly good solution, but there are more powerful alternatives. I had been importing photos with NX Studio but I have been using DigiKam lately. The organization options are more powerful. Free software...

    Aurora Alert

    I have smokey haze in the sky that gets even heavier looking north. Last night I could not see any stars and shaping up to be more of that in Wisconsin tonight.

    Aurora Alert

    This actually is old news by now, but we are in the midst of a solar storm since Thursday. The forecasts are for another strong chance of aurora tonight (June 1) and possible the next night also. I have seen many photos come out of New Zealand and Australia from last night, and Thursday night...

    Sigma lens not focussing on Z6 with mount

    You covered the obvious and some less-obvious trouble points. I do have that lens, the FTZ-II adapter but a Z5 body, which is a little bit newer than the Z6. Clearly abnormal behavior. You do have a focus button on the back. I am not saying you should switch to the back-button focus method...

    VR “broken” on Nikon 18-200 DX VR

    What I downloaded to my PC to view had a .jpeg extension, so Dropbox must be converting and adding the compression. VR is an electro-mechanical thing, so anything mechanical can fail. I have not personally experienced this. It's just that from a distance like I am, there is no further way to...

    VR “broken” on Nikon 18-200 DX VR

    First of all, your post-processing is stripping off the EXIF information. I do not see any of your camera settings, and also important I do not see the focus point used. The photo is also heavily compressed so that hurts seeing what is sharp and what is not. So with that, I pixel-peeped the...

    VR “broken” on Nikon 18-200 DX VR

    Two different lenses with the same failure on the same camera body? Have you looked at the lens AI pins on the body yet? Can you get access to another body to test the lens on?

    Hello :)

    That does dock, but the latest Nikon version firmware is very old now, before Z-series. The Canon mount versions have had several firmware updates. Apparently more trouble with those.

    IBIS Rattle

    IBIS makes no audible sound in my Z5. I think your camera may be broken.

    Asmodeus has a new toy - Zf

    There is new firmware issued this week. Judging it can prevent a specific error condition, could be worth updating. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/559.html
