The 500mm PF is going to be the best option, but it comes with a price tag. I have a 300mm f/4 PF. It pairs very well with my 1.4x TC which gives a 420mm field of view and is a constant f/5.6. I also have a 1.7x TC which is hit and miss. That gives a field of view of 510mm with an aperture of...

Affinity is running a 50% off sale - so all 3 programs are discounted: Designer 2, Photo 2, and Publisher 2. I've been wanting to try some type of graphic arts program, but Adobe Illustrator is too expensive for what little I'd use it. So I purchased Designer 2. I already have Photoshop so no...

Thanks for the info. It's definitely appreciated.

Any news on Brent yet?

The 85mm f/1.8 is an amazing lens! Such creamy bokeh.

If the same thing happens when using the lens on a different body, then the electrical reset won't help. I believe it only affects the body.

I have 2 of the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR lenses. The first one was originally a camera store's lens rental that I purchased in 2018 so it already had mileage on it. I think it is now experiencing some issues with sticky aperture blades not stopping down or stopping down too far because of exposure...

B&H has the Oben MFR4-5 Macro Focusing Rail on sale for $69.95. I purchased one for $99.95 back in 2016 so the price is great. It's a smooth, 4-way geared macro rail. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1130512-REG/oben_mfr4_5_macro_focusing_rail.html

If you need any additional info beyond what Needa mentioned, I would suggest looking at the first 10 minutes of Steve Perry's video on setting up the D780. He explains some of the choices which include the questions you have.

It used to be 1024 on the long side, but this forum takes files that are a little larger. With my own uploads here, it seems as though there is some type of compression happening because my uploaded images don't have the same quality they do before uploading. That didn't happen to my photos on...

Just the other day I saw a Wood Duck up close. Its red eyes remind me of these Eared Grebes. The Wood Duck took up residence at a town's lake and hangs out with a pair of mallards. There are also quite a few geese there, but the ducks and geese don't seem to interact. The town installed a...

Praying for relief and healing, Danno. And may you continue to experience peace from within knowing you are not alone.

For those who love MagMod products, B&H has the MagMod XL Professional Strobe Kit on sale. They are offering a $100 coupon which brings the price down to $189.95. I jumped on the chance to get it for such an amazing price because I was too late to get one during their open box sale. It's...

I hope someone has information on Brent.

This is very sad news. Fred has been such a helpful member over all these years. May he rest in peace.

We had immense cloud cover in Pennsylvania. I set my alarm for 2:45am and went outside, but it was way too cloudy.

When using an iPhone, what I experience is very similar to using Firefox or Chrome on my Mac. What is happening that is causing you issues, Scott? At least with an iPhone, I can set a webpage as a shortcut on my home screen, and it's very much like having a dedicated app rather than having to...

One time I think I used a small cardboard box and covered it with a white cloth. It was just a little too tall for my preference but made do. The thing is I didn't have a shorter box that had enough width and depth. I can always cover these with plain cloths if I choose or can even put two of...

That's a good idea! I hadn't thought of it. I have a light box which I won't mind using, but if I ever wind up needing another, I might be tempted to get one with a light inside. This is what I ordered last night. Although I don't need 2 sets, the price was fine for my purposes. Thanks for...

I wound up ordering a small set of 3 stands from Amazon. Hopefully they will work okay. At least their sizes seem like they will be appropriate.
