I accidentally found the crop mode function on my D810 while shooting an airshow. It's the red button plus either roller. I want to disable this "feature" which caused me to fumble a good number of pictures that I had intended to fill the frame, but they ended up being too big for the crop...

OK, don't expect me to post a lot of photos tonight but I'm setting this topic up for me to add to it over the next couple of days. I bought a damaged D810 for the princely sum of 775 dollars delivered to my door, knowing full well what had happened to it. The previous owner had left the lens...

Nikon's current implementation of wifi in DSLR cameras consists of a means to tether your camera to a smartphone or tablet. When will they decide that the better way to do it is to incorporate TRUE wifi capability right into the camera instead? I can envision this as a simple system where...

In the teleconverter compatibility chart that Nikon publishes, they describe the combination of the 200-500mm lens and the 1.7x and 2.0x TC-17 and TC-20 (EII and EIII) as not being autofocus capable. Based on some reading I've been doing, Nikon apparently doesn't guarantee autofocus to work...

I'm getting a D810 in a few days. Some repair work needed, truly nothing I can't handle. I'm an experienced D800 user. Some D810/D810A questions come to mind, though. I do have a fair interest in astronomy. I generally understand what the A version offers vs. the D810. Is it possible to...

It's not a lens that (currently) fits into my needs or wants, but today I got to spend some time using a Sigma Art series 24-35mm F2 (2, not 2.8) DG HSM lens with my D800. Set to full size and raw, of course, I played around with it inside the store and stepped outside for some photos as...

I'm looking to add at least a circular polarizer for use with my Tamron 150-600mm lens. 95mm size, and boy are the top brands expensive! I've seen B&Ws going for almost 300 dollars. I don't want to spend THAT much on a polarizer but I do think I'd benefit from having one. So if you can...

Usually I'm pretty good at finding the settings I'm looking for. But in this case, I'm about ready to give up. I have a D5000 that I want to connect to an external monitor via the HDMI port. But I want a clean picture, with no focus box or any other camera-generated display information on...

I'm in the end stages of repairing one of these lenses. I got the right parts to do it, with no small amount of difficulty. I've never really had a chance to work with one that didn't need repair so hence this question: When operating the focus, does the front glass move in and out? Or the...

My early Christmas present to myself is an Atomos Ninja 2 video recorder, which I will be using along with my D800. I'm looking for recommendations on equipment to use to rig this gear together. I'm considering various configurations of cheese plates or multiple hot shoe brackets. I already...

You might have seen my recent comments in an older thread regarding this kind of lens, which was broken. I've invested some considerable amount of time and effort into getting two of these lenses repaired. I ended up buying two of them and it looks like I will at least be able to get one...

Looking for a D800 battery grip. I have a small variety of lenses I would like to offer in trade. I'm not offering ALL of them as trade for one grip. That'd be kind of silly. I think. But if any of these lenses interest you, let's see if we can make a trade involving it for the battery...

I own four D200s, three in great shape and one just waiting for two parts to arrive and then it's back in service. I'm thinking that no. 4 will be converted to wide spectrum, and use appropriate external filters so I can use it in the UV and IR ranges. I got great bargains on my D200 fleet...

I've made several posts already but I figured I should introduce myself here. I'm Chris, and I'm no stranger to cameras, film and DSLR and point-and-shoot, having learned the basics on my dad's Canon FT QL with a 50mm F/1.2 lens, long before the first digital camera of any kind had hit the...

Has anyone ever found the Nikon camera adjustment/alignment software available for sale to "mere civilians"? I'd like to get my hands on it for educational purposes. Is this possible? (Legally) What will it cost?

Just curious about this. Say you're a pro photographer and you shoot a wedding and the customers want framed prints. How do you print your photos? I tend to believe that a pro photographer would be using something better than an officejet printer with photo paper. But maybe I'm wrong...

Had a bad day? Dropped your prized 5000 dollar lens and broke it? Or maybe worse yet, your camera? And the cost to fix it is too high for you to want to pay it? Please consider selling it to me. I love a challenge. But, I'm primarily interested in "higher end" DSLRs and good lenses...
