So, @DonnieZ, did you ever go any further with this pursuit? Any results that you can share with us?

If it's like my D3200, then the stock focus screen that comes with it is pretty much useless for manually-focusing. I think Nikon assumes that most people who buy the lower-end DSLRs are the sort who will nearly always use autofocus, and rarely, if ever, try to focus manually. The stock focus...

The “Sacramento” LDS Temple, actually located a good ten or fifteen miles away from Sacramento, closer to Folsom than to any other city or town. To get close enough to the building to not be obstructed by trees and landscaping, I was much too close to take it all in with just one shot, even at...

Re: Weekly Challenge Apr 13 - 30: Topic Crossroads Simple, two-dimensional crossroads are for wusses. Real drivers navigate through complex, three-dimensional freeway interchanges, of which this one in Sacramento is not a particularly impressive example, but the most impressive that was...

An ad that popped up on a web site I was viewing a few days ago. It's probably true. Of course, if it had said “Nikon Quality”, then that would have been an entirely other thing.

There are no lenses that can be used on the D7xxx, that cannot also be used on the D3xxx and the D5xxx, though of these, only the D7xxx can meter with non-CPU lenses, or autofocus with AF lenses that do not have built-in focus motors. On the other hand, contrary to a claim that Nikon...

Beyond Purple [Re: Weekly Challenge Mar 30 - Apr 6: Topic Purple] I went beyond purple, to ultraviolet. Here's my beautiful wife, @Seanette, posing in a sheer/lacy white nightgown, under an ultraviolet light, in an otherwise darkened room.

Third and last entry.

I'm not certain, but I think this is some sort of mite. It's not an insect. Insects have six legs, and this has eight. Whatever it is, it's a fairly common critter, but not one that is easily noticed, because it is so tiny. Spend some time staring closely at a patch of concrete, near soil...

Your post had me thinking. G lenses depend on the camera to control the aperture via a mechanical linkage that was originally intended, in older cameras and lenses, just to be used to provide the feature by which the aperture is wide open during viewing,and then closes down to the setting...

My beautiful wife, @Seanette.

Second entry…

If you follow the line of Orion's belt, to the left, it will point to an unusually bright star. Outside of anything in our own solar system, this star is the brightest thing in our night sky. In the picture below, that's it just to the left of the top of the tree at the middle/bottom of the...

That chart contains some misinformation. For one thing, it claims that a pre-AI lens risks damaging a D3200. Not true. Apparently, there is some danger of pre-AI lenses damaging those bodies which support the AI-style mechanical aperture ring coupling, but the D3200 does not have this...

Paging @D200freak or anyone else who might have the knowledge to help me here… Some time after the previous conclusion of this thread, a new issue has arisen. It's a minor annoyance, with which I can live, but if there's any chance of an easy fix, I'd sure like to know about it. This...
