Has anyone ever found a strap that doesn’t suffer from the “twisties”. Every kind of strap I’ve used seems to suffer from the same malady, constantly getting twisted up. Does such a thing exist or is it like the holy grail?

On my Z50 when using manual focus with the 16-50 Z lens, the Focus distance indicator feature is activated. When using manual focus with my 18-140 DX with the FTZ and the lens switched to M, manual focus works fine, including focus peaking, but the Focus distance indicator feature is not...

I’m having a difficult time determining what metering mode, matrix, center weighted, or spot should be used when utilizing exposure compensation or exposure lock. I’ve read and seen everything I can lay my hands on and don’t seem to come to a decision. I’ve seen info from knowledgeable sources...

Why is there such a variance in prices for polarizing filters? What is the difference in quality?

Does any one have an idea on setting up back button focus on a Nikon N8008s? It’s easy to do on an N80, I’ve got two of them set up that way, but I don’t see any way to change button functions on an N8008s. May be I’m just missing something.

I’m considering getting a Godox TT350N for my digital cameras, Z50, D5600, D3300. I’m hoping that it would be backwards compatible with my film cameras, N80, N75. I believe it would be, but any input would be appreciated.

Does activating the viewfinder grid display affect battery drain?

What are possible compromises with using my DX 55-300 lens on my Z50 with the FTZ adapter, looks like everything should work well with no surprises. Carrying this one step further, what would be the result of using an FX lens on the FTZ adapter with the Z50? I would assume that the crop factor...

Just got a new Z50, in setting up the functions, specifically the FN buttons, one of the choices is “preview” there is brief explanation but not much detail. What is the purpose of this function, it doesn’t seem to do much. Anyone got any input?

What experience does anyone have with buying a refurbished camera from Nikon? Also, I see "renewed" cameras on Amazon from various sources, I suppose the quality of the refit job would be contingent on who did it. How to judge?

I’ve read in several locations that when performing exposure compensation or utilizing exposure lock, it is advisable to use center-weighted or spot metering. My question is, which is preferable, advice on this question is rather vague, perhaps someone here can shed some light (no pun intended)...

What words of wisdom does anybody have on getting the best charge on their batteries, for example the en- el14a. The owners info gives info but experience may prove a better teacher. Any advice would be appreciated.

I recently went on to the “Nikon USA” website to check my firmware version. There is no longer a “support” section. You need to go to the particular camera section and chase it down from there. Also you can no longer download manuals on the “Manual Viewer” app as of 8/21/2020. Seems like a step...

On my D5600 auto D lighting is enabled by default, I have chosen not to have turned it on, it can be utilized in the retouch menu if desired. What are some opinions on this?
