Hi Nikonites, my wife wrote me a long to do list during her absence for the next few weeks, I have got the painting and decorating done but have not had any interest in picking up the camera at the end of the day, I did however discover a british comedy series which is really cracking me up...

whilst testing my lenses on my new D7100 I noticed some issues with my sigma 18-200 from the new contemporary line. When previewing pictures on the camera it is not possible to hold and scroll around a zoomed picture, you have to repeatedly press the arrow buttons. Metering seems to stay active...

the problem with IR photography with "traditional" DSLR's is that the exposures are quite long due to the low pass filter blocking alot of the required IR light. The way around this is to get a camera converted where the LPF is removed and replaced with an IR filter which only lets in IR light...

Just clicked the order button for a new D7100 as the D7K has been sent back for a full refund due to recurring AF issues. Cant wait! Most of the reviews I have read about this camera are very positive! :D

Hi all, i am currently pondering over a mid range fast zoom (2.8). The nikon 24 70 may be a fantastic lens, but I just cant justify the price of 1600 euro here new!! There are couple of other options, from sigma, tamron and co., tamron also have a new 24-70 with VC for 800 euro new, however...

So all you forum geniuses, now for something REALLY off-topic our financial year is at an end in the company and I am double checking some of the companies figures for the calculation of my bonus (if any). The bonus calculation is a complex one relying on multiplication factors. I need your...

Hi all, this weekend my oldest daughter was invited to her friends birthday party. The whole family are friends of ours, and so I decided I would gatecrash the party with my camera gear and see what I could do. Wow did I learn a bunch and the great thing was, it was without any pressure. I made...

so, in my hometown of bregenz there are many caravan camping sites on the shores of the lake of constance. a friend of mine has a caravan on one of these sites for the whole of summer, one of the other caravans on this site is always rather peculiarly decorated. the owner is a single swiss guy...

Have just clicked on the order button and a new Sigma 18-200 from the new contemporary line should be here next week. I am looking for that walk-around all-in-one that can also do a little close up work. It will also cover the tele focal length which is currently missing from my lens line-up. I...

So, major dilemma going on here :) I finally talked my wife into letting me take our oldest daughter who is 6 on a weeks holiday to the croatian island of Brac in order to do a little relationship building (i have had to play "bad policeman" quite a bit this year). Now the question is what...

Extreme temperatures! Hi all, just got back after a few days business trip in Oman. Holy Moly was it HOT! 45° Celcius or 113 Fahrenheit, and its not even June yet :distress: Here a shot I made of the car thermometer... Anyone have any more extreme climate temperatures, hot or cold, then...

Titel says it all. The sd card cover/door on the new d3100 seems very loose and rattly. Anyone else have this on their camera (not limiting the question to only 3100 owners)? Thanks for any feedback.

Hi all, a colleague asked to borrow a couple of NIKON lenses from me today to test his FUJI camera, as he believes it may have a focus problem and was not sure if it was because of his lens. I was not aware that fuji also uses the NIKON bajonett, or is that with older cameras only? The other...

Why not post the view from your front door, balcony, kitchen window etc. Here's mine shot in Infrared:

Any way to increase the number of posts displayed on one page, in order to reduce the overall number of pages relating to one thread?

Since 1 week we have a new claim to fame here in Austria! I am surprised no one has congratulated me yet, although I think maybe the news has not travelled over the pond. We are all so proud :):):)

Hi all, as a very keen Linux Mint 15 user it has been a very interesting process trying to find software which I can effectively use for the processing of my photos, either RAW or JPG. The search has taken me through most of the open source software options available, some of which I have to...

so after deciding that I cant live without my d7k for a month when the family will disappear in summer, I purchased a d3100 for my wife for her to take. Have been playing around with the camera this afternoon and all I can say is what a great piece of kit. This seems to be perfect for a novice...

Hi all. The wife and kids will be disappearing to the in-laws in bulgaria this summer and it has been commented that the d7k will be going with them, leaving me for over a month without a serious camera (monthly challenge suggestion for july, best cellphone pics ;) I have therefore thought...
