EN-EL15C is a pretty universal battery among the higher-end bodies. Even the new Z8 uses it. I have so many of the older A type from my D7000, D600, D750. The older ones work in the Z5, just the power doesn't last as long. I would buy a 2nd C version if I did not already have 3 of the older...

Nikon already is keeping the Z-mount interface data to themselves except to manufacturers that won't make the same types of lenses as Nikon. And check the history of Nikon and flash units. They have not introduced a new model in a looooong time. Nikon is already passing that business off to the...

No on the aftermarket battery. I have 3 of those that work perfectly well in my D750 and D600. The Z5 rejects them with a message to load a real Nikon EN-EL15. The Z bodies seem to have the this battery detection at ultra-sensitive. I read a Z8 review yesterday that also complained about the 3rd...

Yes and yes. End effect is discarding the image around the DX-size sensor area. Just as if you had cropped it smaller in post. The pixel size of your subject remains the same (xxx pixels by yyy pixels). But if you were to use a D500 that may have the pixels packed tighter-together on the APS-C...

I am trying to imagine the woman 25 years ago. "I said can I come in and watch you develop film?! Hey why is it so dark in here?" Click....

Lunch break at a park that barely has an overlook of a river. Skies were hazed with the Canadian forest fire smoke.

Oh and don't forget that people do also die and their online accounts don't go away. I had the task of closing the 2 Gmail accounts my brother used after his death last year. I waited about 6 months before doing it. One thing I can say is that don't trust that the cable company or cellphone...

I would guess this won't affect many that are legit registered users here. Google does need to dump a bunch of old accounts, and I am responsible for dozens of them indirectly. End user demands to be able to receive scans by email like the copier says it can do. User cannot give me any details...

If your only reason to connect your laptop to the camera is to transfer the photos, then I agree that the best way to do that is to forget the cable and use a SD card reader. Laptop PC's normally have a SD card reader already built-in to the the hardware these days. At least the last 3 laptops I...

Interesting. If you follow the product link and search the reviews for "mac" there are multiple reviews that say it works, with only 1 that says otherwise. I have been using the same Memorex DVD-burner for about 14 years. I don't have any experience with something current that way.

Going back to the original question: Is this about using a DX lens on a full frame body? Or are you curious for specifically photographing with the crop using FX lens? There is no advantage to this in my opinion. It is simply a way of adapting existing gear until you can get the right gear...

Now that I have an actual PC in my hands instead of a phone, I have the definitive answer. D5000 does not have the Non-CPU lens profiles like the D7000 series does. As I outlined, just move the mode to Manual and turn off auto-ISO. The only quick exposure control will be shutter speed. Focus...

I owned a d7000 in the past so I don't have the hands-on for the lower models. With a d7000, there was 3 custom lens profiles you could save for non-AI lenses. My quick searches do not show if the d5000 is capable of that. Without profiles, you should be still able to use fully-manual. That...

Welcome. T-mount is the standard for telescopes, so adapters for T to Nikon F mount are very easy to find out there, and inexpensive. There are many others besides the one in my link. Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter Compatible with T-Mount (T/T-2) Thread Lenses to Nikon F-Mount Cameras...

I have only seen the bare split-oval rings. I stopped using them after my last D80 died and went in the trash. All the newer bodies I bought since have had the Nikon triangle split-rings with a plastic guard, and they don't really require the Peak Design rings to be installed. They were issued...

Starting to green up outside. Time for some infrared.

Needa is correct. Although you can mount and use the crop-sensor 50-250mm lens on your Z5, it is only projecting a smaller size image on the central part of the sensor. So DX image size is the only option the camera will allow. Get a full-frame telephoto zoom instead.

Judging from the fireflies that have photobombed my astrophotography sessions, I would say be prepared to change that shutter speed to the 1-5 seconds range. Even at 15 seconds exposure I get squiggly glowing lines if the bugs are flying around. But I don't know firefly behavior when mating. If...

Been there, done that, and worn out the T-shirt. ;)

I believe this is going to depend on the particular Z body model. I use a Z5, which has the slowest burst modes of the full frame mirrorless. I don't work that way often, really just activate it for birding and sports. Plus I have it set to blank the display instead of freeze-frame display.
