Pretty interesting Kickstarter called QromaScan which combines software with a LED lightbox to scan prints. The app uses voice control to tag your images and build EXIF. Neat idea and I did back it in Kickstarter-speak. More info here.
I received my lightly used copy of the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 on Friday. My initial impressions were holy cr*p is it big. Second reaction was a big freaking grin on my face when I mounted it on my wife's J4 and started focusing. Wow, wow, wow. What a focal range: 189-810mm FX equivalent...

Sad very early morning in my household. This is from 2006, shot with a D70s and Nikkor 50mm 1.8D. One of my favorite shots. Missed the focus on her eye but love her gaze.
Nikon D800
For sale is my D800. USA model, it comes with the original box, all supplied accessories and 2 additional Wasabi batteries. Less than 24k shutter actuations. I am the second owner and have used it for approximately 16 months. I've never had any issue or reason for concern - it has...
AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
For sale is a clean copy of the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. Excellent lens that has served me well. I would rate this a 9 out of 10. Even though it is variable aperture, I have never been disappointed. If I hadn't purchased the...
Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro
Selling my well used copy of one of the most under-appreciated swiss army knife of FX lenses - the Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro. Small, light weight, pro-caliber with 1:2 macro capability. Comes with both caps and hood. I'd rate it a 8+ out of 10 as far...
From Slickdeals: RitzCamera via eBay is selling the EN-EL15 battery for $34.99 with free shipping - this is $12 less than Amazon, B&H, etc. Battery works with the D600, D610, D7000, D7100, D7200, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A and Nikon 1 V1 bodies.
From Slickdeals: B&H and Adorama are selling the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Card Reader for US$13 with free shipping. I have one of these and it is fantastic. To be honest since upgrading to a D800, I use the CF slot for overflow and it doesn't get much use these days.

My stepson had his first little league game today. He is on the autism scale so plays on a Challenger team. The little leagues in Eastern Pennsylvania all have organized teams for the special needs kids. The "regular" teams each take a turn every season shadowing the Challenger team. It is fun...
After recent trips to Europe for the Christmas markets and a Key West getaway where my wife used my V2, I showed her the J4 recently on closeouts. She liked that it was white and that the 10-30 PD-Zoom lens didn't have a cap. I've been pretty impressed with the sharpness of the lens versus the...
A few from Antoni Gaudí's Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. Construction began in 1882 and is projected to complete in 2028. We've visited twice and will go everytime we're in Barcelona. Truly amazing. Every corner seems to be a different architectural style that somehow comes...
