...because one of the reasons folks don't care for them is the lack of a tripod mount on this heavy lens. Optically, it's very nice, especially considering the bargain prices you can pick them up for. I looked into work-arounds for the lack of tripod mount and found an expensive (and...

I have an Arca Swiss B1 w/QR that I've enjoyed for many years on a heavy aluminum Bogen tripod. Before the B1, I used a Bogen 3025 3-D head, which I still have. Last year I upgraded the old Bogen 3401 leg set to a nice Benro TMA38CL carbon tripod with thoughts of taking it along more on hikes...

Everything was working fine a week or so ago when I worked on holiday photos but now I can't get NX-D to convert NEFs to JPEGs. I put in the desired settings after hitting the "Convert Files" icon, hit "Start", the little conversion que box pops up for a split second, and the JPEG never show up...

Seen this morning on Rt. 22A, just south of Vergennes, VT. D200, AF-S 18-70 f/3.4-4.5G ED

For the past several years, I've used Nikon's Capture NX-D for post-processing. The last few times I've used it, I've had trouble converting some files. I bring up the RAW file, make my adjustments, select the "Convert File" button, fill out the necessary info, and when I click "start," it...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know off-hand how many different adjustments or settings there are on a D750?

I've always used Nikon SLRs or DSLRs but always seemed to own different brands of pocket cameras. My last digital pocket camera, a Panasonic Lumix TZ5, died last year. It just wouldn't power up/turn on. I tried some Deoxit in the switch, took it apart to look for obvious trouble, etc., to no...

The ice is almost gone.

I have a trio of lightweight AF Nikkor "walk around" lens that I enjoy for causal shooting in focal lengths 18-35mm, 24-85mm, and 70-300mm. The AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED and 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lenses are recent upgrades of older AF-D-series 18-35mm and 28-85mm Nikkors I had. They are...

I love to fish; especially fly fish. For years, I carried a high-quality 35mm compact (Olympus XA, Olympus Stylus, Yashica T4 Super - my fave) in a zip-lock bag in a pocket of my fly fishing vest. When these kind of cameras disappeared, I carried a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. It finally died...

I usually avoid store credit cards or special buyers' cards, but the B&H Photo "Payboo" card is a nice deal for me, a New York State resident. I got one today. When you use it, B&H immediately credits you the amount of sales tax on the purchase. That gives a NY resident a 7% discount on...

I like prime lenses, but I also like to keep a "trinity" of zooms on hand for convenience. I'm retired and on a tight budget so my trinity is not the fast and expensive trio, but budget alternatives. My current zooms are the AF Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.4-4.5 D, the AF Nikkor 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 D, and...

Nikon released a lens distortion control update on 01/16/2020 to be added to our cameras' firmware. I love it when I can update the firmware that runs hardware! The way I understand it, the Nikon in-camera distortion control is applied to JPEG files only, not to RAW files. I shoot RAW+Basic...

Back in the film days, I bought a lot of used Nikkor glass from KEH and I don't remember ever being disappointed. On the contrary, really... most times I received lenses I thought were better than KEH's rating. For the first time in many years, I ordered a used lens (Tokina AT-X Pro 100mm...

I have a nice Nikon Coolscan V ED that has been sitting idle for many years. I've since become a Mac user. I'd like to start shooting some film again. Would you recommend using the Coolscan V and purchasing VueScan software, or purchasing a more modern scanner? My budget leans toward...

When I go into the custom menu, f2, and assign the Fn button with "virtual horizon," I get a simple leveling graphic at the bottom of the viewfinder, not the nifty virtual horizon image. I can activate the virtual horizon through the Set Up menu and see it working on the rear screen, but I can't...

A while back, I picked up an inexpensive, slightly-malfunctioning-but-hardly-used D200 as a replacement for my old Lumix pocket camera. I know the D200 is hardly pocketable, but it was dirt cheap so I'm not afraid to take it with me in situations where I might not want to carry my D750. I...

I just ordered a Samsung T5 500GB SSD portable drive to add another layer to my back-ups. It has a USB C connector. If I buy a USB C to Mini-b cord, can I download directly from the camera to the drive? Thanks for any information, Bob

I just received an e-mail from a friend who is not a photography enthusiast. The message had an attached JPEG from her phone camera and the file was 105 KB. The image is sharp and maintains its quality when viewed in full-screen mode on my 13" MacBook Pro. I sent a response to the message and...

This is how I have my D750 set. I have a Sandisk 32GB Extreme Pro SD in slot #1 and a Samsung Evo 32GB micro-SD in its SD adapter in slot #2. My LCD display showed that I had space available for over 500 RAW + JPEG Fine images. Today, I shot 34 images. When I used Nikon Transfer to download...
