    Peak Design Oval Split rings with plastic sleeves

    I haven't posted for a long time... nor have I logged in. I have been lurking though, hopefully that counts. I am looking for the oval split rings with plastic sleeves that Peak Design used to include with their straps. I have reached out to them to see if they had any left over... nope. Seems...

    Well, I did something really stupid

    So, I was messing around with a fisheye lens. TTAritsan 7.5 f/2 on my Z6. In FX, it renders a circular fisheye. I have the 11mm FX version as well, and I was sure that in DX mode it would look the same as the 11mm in FX. Someone wanted to know what it would actually look like on a APSC...

    Ok... I am back. Sort of.

    l left Nikonites a few years ago ( not really, just inactive ) Not out of any disagreement at all with the fine people here. I was going to move to another country and all my energy was devoted into that. That is still in the works, only put on hold ( maybe permanent ) for a while due to...

    Firmware update

    Just received notice of a new firmware update for the d750 from 1.12 to 1.13 Apparently the only resolved issue over the last update is • The SETUP MENU > Time zone and date > Time zone display now shows only the names of major cities in the currently selected zone.

    KR Protege

    Sorry for the title :) I bought a Tamron 90mm macro from another Nikonite member but had to send it in to Tamron for an AF motor issue. Great lens BTW. Just got it back today, and guess what the first picture I took with it was? geez. I feel like Ken Rockwell now since almost every lens...

    AF-P lens compatibility

    I just got off the phone with Nikon Tech support and Adorama. The subject was about the AF-P FX version of the new 70-300. I figured the FX version would be better anyway, and it had the option to turn VR off. I ordered one from Amazon ( now on its way back ) and the only way I could really use...

    Eyepiece alternatives

    With the nikon d7200 the eyepiece is a DK-23 in which Nikon includes a snap on DK-5 cover to keep light from entering the backside of the camera during tripod/long exposures Wouldn't it be nice if somebody could develop a DK-23/DK-5 combo replacement that has a switch like the higher end cameras...

    Picture control and RAW Files

    I can't remember where I read this, but somewhere I ran across a statement saying that if you set the camera to Flat picture control you will be able to squeeze a little more DR out of your raw files. Anyone ever hear of this? I've always set my picture control for Vivid+5 sharpness and...

    Coolpix P900. First thoughts

    I have been off the forums for a while... Anyway. I found a brick and mortar that had a new Coolpix P900 and I bought it. I wanted either a bridge camera or a D3300 to carry around with me while hiking. The D610 and D750 get really heavy after a while. So here are a couple test shots first...

    D610 vs D7100

    This question is for people who have both. I primarily do landscape shots. Will I lose a noticeable lot if I switch to the d7100? I usually don't go much over ISO 800. Normal range is 100-400 and the biggest I print is 13x19 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Walmart and the d50

    I was in walmart the other day... I don't usually go there since they never have what I am looking for and if they do, its of cheap quality. Anyway, I was blown away when I saw the store had a Nikon d50 on the display rack with a price of around 500.00. I didn't even think these were in...
