    500mm f/8 Reflex Nikkor

    I have not used this lens in a while, opting for my 600mm f/4 ED IF AIS Nikkor instead, but it really can produce some really outstanding images and is but a tiny fraction of the size and weight, at 1lb 5 oz, compared to that 14lb beast. This is the newer version, though I have owned the much...

    Anyone know where I can get those screw in metal caps for the DR5 and DG2?

    This is a DR-3 but that cap will fit if I remove the DK-17 adapter. Same goes for the DG-2

    I will admit I don't use my D750 all that much.........

    The D850 and D500 are my go-to DSLR's, but I decided to use it this morning to photograph the young male and female squirrels that visit our deck daily and it did quite well for itself with the 600mm f/4 ED IF AIS. I may wind up using it more. One advantage certainly is 25MB RAW vs 95MB RAW for...

    Is Nikon's F4E their most beautiful camera ever?

    After the disastrous "dropping the camera on the jetty rocks" incident a couple of weeks ago, my F4E is back up and running with a new DP-20 finder. It got me thinking, with which camera did Nikon produce their most attractive ever? Let's be honest, Nikon's DSLR's, along with Canon and other...

    Post your latest purchases.

    It took some serious looking but I finally managed to find an MK1 for the MD4 on the F3HP in the same mint condition as the camera and motor. They are very rare and not cheap, I guess supply and demand dictates the price, but it makes shooting vertical a lot easier, especially with the camera...
