    June 5 One Day B&H Deals - Spyder5Pro & Vello Lightning/Motion Detector

    A calibrated monitor is your best friend. $99 deal for a day on the Spyder5Pro. Deal Zone, Deal of the Day at B&H I've got a Nero Trigger but the motion detection requires setting up a laser signal that must be broken and it's pretty finicky. For $59 I'm considering the Vello solution, if...

    Anyone need a grip for their D7100?

    I've got a line on a Photix grip in minty condition. Originally $99, but this one's much cheaper. Works perfectly with the D7100, even with 3rd party batteries. PM me.

    Anyone else with a D500 and Sigma 150-600mm Sport?

    I've noticed on three occasions over the last two days that the image review screen on the D500 stayed on after shooting a burst of shots through the Sigma 150-600mm Sport. I remember there being an issue like this with the D5300 and some Sigma lenses, so I suspect it's a firmware thing that...

    Nikon D7000 - KolariVision 720nm IR conversion w/ OEM Grip - No Longer Available

    Nikon D7000 - KolariVision 720nm IR conversion w/ OEM Grip D7000 body. 9/10 condition. 32.3K clicks on the shutter. Converted to 720nm Infrared by KolariVision. It was a toss up between selling this one or my D800 converted the same way. This one actually meters far more consistently in IR than...

    Great Article On Understanding "Noise"

    I knew a lot about noise already, but this pair of articles really does a nice job of getting to the heart of what noise is, where it comes from, and what affects it and how. Really well put together. What's that noise? Part one: Shedding some light on the sources of noise: Digital...

    B&H Shipping Delay on the D500?

    Saw this post yesterday. B&H shipping date for D500: Nikon Pro DX SLR (D500, D300, D200, D100) Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review Seems that, as usual, B&H will be closed for Passover observance from April 22 thru April 30, meaning that an April 21 release date for the D500 turns into a May...

    D7200 v D500 : Is it twice the camera?

    I'm doing some mental gymnastics right now. I want the D500 for wildlife. I need something that will outperform my D7100 both in terms of high ISO (I can't shoot above ISO 3200 and would love a little less noise given that I prefer shooting at 1/1600sec & f8-f9 on the Sigma - though I can go...

    Brain Fart - Nikon EXIF Question

    I'm doing some focus testing of the Sigma 150-600mm and in my poking around I'm trying to determine my approx. focus distance. This is in the EXIF data but it's displayed as 126/10. I can't remember if this is in meters or not (i.e. 12.6m, which is probably right based on the photo). Help an...

    Sigma 150-600mm Sport - First Impressions

    Consider this a placeholder for an evolving set of impressions on this lens. I've spent more time looking at it and thinking about it than actually shooting with it so far. I'll save those observations for my first big post. I did take advantage of the beautiful day and went on the deck to do...

    Dear Sigma

    Dear Sigma, This is not the way to publish a user manual on a $2000 lens. Not only is it impossibly unwieldy, you've rendered it so that at least 1/4 of the available languages (including English) are impossible to access immediately next to the diagram no matter how the folds are...

    Camera Raw Support for the D5 & D500!!

    Simply stated, "Wow!!" Camera Raw 9.5 now available In the past Adobe has been 1 to 4 months behind Nikon, so the fact that they have Raw support before the release is amazing. This means either Nikon made the cameras available to Adobe before release, or Adobe got hold of pre-release...

    Getting Your Shutter Count Without Uploading

    I posted this in another thread and did a quick look-around to see if this was posted before and couldn't find anything, so here goes (mods, feel free to delete or merge if this is somewhere already). In the past folks have been told to go to various websites to upload a JPEG (which many of us...

    Anyone Playing With Polaroid Impossible Project Film?

    Found a pretty clean Polaroid Sun 600 LMS camera in a box in the basement. Seems pretty clean and I suspect it would work. All I'm seeing as film goes is either 8+ year old vintage stuff (at almost $50 for 10 shots) or film from The Impossible Project that runs about half that. Seems the new...
