    Why Not a Blog - The Petzval Z 55

    I tested this a bit... Here's what needs to be done... A separate form needs to be setup for blogs... and then threads can be placed there as outlined above. The second thing that needs to be done...is prevent other users from adding comments to someone's blog thread. If you start a NEW thread...

    Why Not a Blog - The Petzval Z 55

    There's really no difference in using a separate thread as a continuing "blog"... Just name it something that's easily distinguishable as such... and then change and adjust the title each week or whatever interval you choose... "STMV's Weekly Blog -- The Petzval Lens this week"

    Firmware update for z 20mm f1.8 S

    When I manually focus or adjust a polarizer, I don't want to be standing there rotating a lens barrel ad nauseum waiting for results... I have many OLD manual lenses... the ones that get used are the ones with the least rotation... I have an old Tokina 300mm from the early '50s and I swear it...

    Firmware update for z 20mm f1.8 S

    So I only have to turn the polarizer 1/4 turn to go from "no polarization" to "maximum polarization"...

    D7500 with a Gimbal

    D7500 with a Gimbal

    I would contact their customer support and inquire as to what/how exactly, the HDMI is supposed to work and how yours isn't. :) The least they can do is ignore you. Where exactly did you buy the gimbal? Maybe contact the retailer??? If you're possibly within the return period, return it for...
