Your post inspired me to make the attempt, but I can't call the results a success. I'd certainly appreciate much more guidance regarding how you did it. Here's how I tried to do it: The camera is supported by the tripod, with the filter on the front of the lens just a millimeter or two...

I lusted after the F2 series, when I was a teenager. I finally bought this one in September of 1986, in very-used condition. I think I paid $325 for the body, and $90 for the 50mm lens. At about the same time, I also bought a 28mm lens, and an 85-205mm Vivitar zoom lens to go with it—all...

So, let's see if I am correctly understanding you, here. This is with a standard eyepiece on the microscope, a standard lens on the DSLR, and pointing the DSLR into the eyepiece, correct? That's pretty much how I've been taking pictures through my microscope using my Sakar 87690, a cheap 7MP...

I really do not need nor want a page to keep reloading every few seconds while I am trying to read it, nor do I want other tabs doing the same and bogging down my browser while I'm not reading them. I've tried searching through the settings for anything about “automatically updating” pages...

Some years ago, when my father passed away, I inherited, among other things, his microscope. I soon discovered that by pointing a cheap digital camera into the eyepiece, I could take much, much, much better pictures than I previously imagined would be possible by such a crude method. But...

Page 169 of the owners' manual says non-AI lenses cannot be used with the D3200… I beg to differ. 50mm ƒ1.4 non-AI Nikkor lens—the stock lens from my ancient Nikon F2 Photomic. 28mm ƒ3.5 non-AI Nikkor lens. 85-205mm ƒ3.8 non-AI Vivitar zoom lens. My early 1970s-vintage non-AI Vivitar...

Here is my attempt to explain the issue, in a different manner than I've noticed anyone else trying to do. Like nearly all SLRs, the D3200 uses a focal plane shutter. As the name implies, this shutter is located just in front of the focal plane—in front of the film (or in this case, the...

My primary computer is a ten-year-old Power Macintosh G4 (single processor, 1 GHz) running MacOS X 10.4.11 “Tiger”. Yesterday, I was prowling the web, looking for usable panorama-stitching software. I want to be able to stitch full-sized panoramas from the 24MP pictures taken by my D3200...
