    Recommendations wanted for D800 and Atomis Ninja 2 rigging

    I've decided to go this route, pretty much. It avoids the usage of "cheese plate" type hardware in types that are difficult to find. I was thinking of a hinged mount system that allows the Ninja to flip down below the camera.

    Recommendations wanted for D800 and Atomis Ninja 2 rigging

    My early Christmas present to myself is an Atomos Ninja 2 video recorder, which I will be using along with my D800. I'm looking for recommendations on equipment to use to rig this gear together. I'm considering various configurations of cheese plates or multiple hot shoe brackets. I already...

    80-400mm AF-VR ED 4.5-5.6 zoom lockup advisory. Read if you have this lens.

    Here we have photos of the torn flex circuit (which I could repair, but I will attempt to substitute one frmo a different model that appears to have the correct wiring even if it's longer and shaped differently) and also photos of the inner cam tube, clearly showing where somebody ELSE...

    80-400mm AF-VR ED 4.5-5.6 zoom lockup advisory. Read if you have this lens.

    The start of disassembly. Note the messed up iris. That was taken apart and correctly reassembled but it took several tries. Trying to reassemble a nine blade aperture correctly and have it all hold together in the right way while reassembling the system is kind of like attempting to herd...

    80-400mm AF-VR ED 4.5-5.6 zoom lockup advisory. Read if you have this lens.

    You might have seen my recent comments in an older thread regarding this kind of lens, which was broken. I've invested some considerable amount of time and effort into getting two of these lenses repaired. I ended up buying two of them and it looks like I will at least be able to get one...

    Wanted: Battery grip for D800. Offering certain Nikkor lenses in trade

    Looking for a D800 battery grip. I have a small variety of lenses I would like to offer in trade. I'm not offering ALL of them as trade for one grip. That'd be kind of silly. I think. But if any of these lenses interest you, let's see if we can make a trade involving it for the battery...

    D200 erratic exposures? Found the problem.

    I own four D200s, three in great shape and one just waiting for two parts to arrive and then it's back in service. I'm thinking that no. 4 will be converted to wide spectrum, and use appropriate external filters so I can use it in the UV and IR ranges. I got great bargains on my D200 fleet...

    Hello, new guy from Florida

    I've made several posts already but I figured I should introduce myself here. I'm Chris, and I'm no stranger to cameras, film and DSLR and point-and-shoot, having learned the basics on my dad's Canon FT QL with a 50mm F/1.2 lens, long before the first digital camera of any kind had hit the...

    Questions about Nikon's camera adjust/alignment software

    Has anyone ever found the Nikon camera adjustment/alignment software available for sale to "mere civilians"? I'd like to get my hands on it for educational purposes. Is this possible? (Legally) What will it cost?

    What do you use to deliver prints to your customers?

    Just curious about this. Say you're a pro photographer and you shoot a wedding and the customers want framed prints. How do you print your photos? I tend to believe that a pro photographer would be using something better than an officejet printer with photo paper. But maybe I'm wrong...

    WTD: Broken DSLR cameras and lenses

    Had a bad day? Dropped your prized 5000 dollar lens and broke it? Or maybe worse yet, your camera? And the cost to fix it is too high for you to want to pay it? Please consider selling it to me. I love a challenge. But, I'm primarily interested in "higher end" DSLRs and good lenses...

    Post your 150-600 Tamron shots.

    There, my first tamzooka photo I've chosen to post anywhere in the internet. Taken with a D200. I invite, and request, critiques on this photograph. I'm new to photography beyond "set it to auto and let it do its thing" so every photo is a learning experience.
