Even if there is 0% chance of getting a quick resolution, this needs to be reported to Nikon so they document it and perhaps address this in future firmware. https://www.nikonproductsupport.com/s/contactsupport?language=en_US

Happy birthday and keep up the fine work! I have so little to complain about. 🎂

Now Matt Granger has this adapter in his paws and gave it a tryout at home. Keep in mind it is still very limited and can only be considered as a supplement to the Nikon FTZ adapter to take the screw-focus lenses it cannot. And yes, at $439 you would have to be wanting to use a lot of old...

That plane needs to fly at altitude for real before termites get it. You want scale, just picture each one of those engines on the wings as a Corsair F4U attached there.

Film has a more forgiving dynamic range. Too dark is better than too light so you can boost the shadows processing a Raw image. Straight jpg, you would loose that shadow detail in the image compression. Not that I would push this as the answer, but I can see where a Z5 or Z5-II would help. You...

I have already watched it and thought it was quite the coincidence he dropped that while there was discussion about my heron photo yesterday. :D I did remember that was a metering option on Z bodies (oops, it's there on my D750 also) and always believed it was a spot mode. But Steve says it is...

I had enough presence of mind to turn down exposure compensation 1 stop to not blow out the white feathers. :)

Speculation from PetaPixel's Chris and Jordan is that they are switching to a subscription model. The new parent company already has that model in place for their other products.

It was worth going to work today. Lunch break today. I was at this dam in Burlington, WI in August when I only had B/W film and a 105mm lens. Had the right kit today. Maybe not quite @Marilynne level but I'm pleased. Met another photographer there also chasing waterfowl.

I have had only good batteries from Wasabi Power, and I have bought multiples for 3 different cameras (Nikon and Lumix). Just be aware that Nikon does have detection for aftermarket batteries, and the 3rd party suppliers like Wasabi have to keep cloning the newer production chips in the cells to...

Z5 has no pre-release. The switch on the lens works on both lens and body stabilization. It's either all on or all off. I have confirmed that early by checking on the stabilization menu in body after moving lens switch both ways.

Try looking at the directions at the bottom of this website. It does have many picture control profiles to download and use for free. https://nikonpc.com/ What I see different is that I think you have to have the file saved with ".NPC" extension, not ".NP3" and there are steps for importing...

Can you just use the touchscreen instead?

Just consider what your intended purpose is for the lens and don't make it do things it is not good at. An all-in-one is going to include several compromises in design, with the goal of getting good-enough photos if not great. So do not buy the lens with the idea of replacing 2 or 3 lens. You...

The center player is out of focus, but further back in the image it looks like the right player's trailing leg is the focus plane. Personally I have never needed to fine-tune autofocus. I know it is more of a micro-level fix for a consistent miss by the autofocus system. If you have been...

I took the challenge. I have a Z5, FTZ-II, and a very cheap 2x F-teleconverter I inherited. Keep in mind this is a (dumb) full manual teleconverter and has no AI connector pins for the lens. So no ability to control f-stop here on my 70-200mm lens as there is no aperture control ring on it. But...

Also a very short search by me shows Glazer's Camera seems to be the big retailer in the Seattle area. I believe if I were doing this, I would begin with showing the gear there for any offers. If they are focusing on the Nikon F and F2 not interested in most of the rest, you can just say thank...

I am not an admin here, but I would guess you may want to forego a little of the potential value in order to sell in a shorter period of time. Piecing the items online will get some offers for the "good" items and the others will just not attract interest. Some web sites of used photography...

I do not have an exact recipe to follow. Like with sports, trying to shoot birds flying requires fast shutter and changing light conditions. So I use shutter-priority and try beginning at 1/1000 and adjust up or down guided by reviewing images. In general a full-frame sensor of similar vintage...
