Hi I'm trying to persuade my daughter not to buy a Fuji X-S20 without at least considering a Zf. Her reasons for wanting one are basically video and the straight from camera jpeg recipes. Has anyone got (or know where to find) jpegs that come from the Zf set up to be like a Fuji film simulation...

Hi The focus module on my Nikon Df seems to be "off", with some lenses needing to be maxxed out to -20, and all of my lenses needing fairly hi negative numbers on this body. So I tried a bunch of my lenses on my D780 as it has the auto AF fine tune feature. One lens was interesting because my...

I bought some Lexar Professional Silver 256GB cards for my D780, but before I open them (so unable to return) I just wanted to check that it isn't a mistake. My understanding is that the D780 support UHS-ii, but that for a card to be fast enough for an "unlimited buffer" experience it would be...

Until recently, and just once, my D780 totally locked up. I couldn't even turn it off, the only solution was to pull the battery out and re-insert. Last month I was using the camera a lot on a trip and it happened a couple of time, so I googled it and found a post saying that if you put the...

Hi I have a DF in the post on it's way to me from Japan. Are there any particular SD card that I should buy, or avoid, for this camera? I guess given that it only has one, I want the most reliable one possible. thanks

Hi I recently sold my mint D750, and, because I could buy a new camera for business purposes, I bought a D780 and it basically hardly cost me more than what I got for the D750. I bought the D780 because I have quite a few AF-D lenses, and I like them, and the D780 squeezes as much as is...

Hi My daughter has a D700. I already had to replace the card slot board because she snapped a pin in the card slot putting the card in and out, so I told her to just use a USB cable to copy her photos and leave the memory card alone. The USB cable works fine in Windows, but, I can't get it to...

Hi I just got a D780 and there are some things I don't understand. 1. AF-ON button. In the online manual it describes that the AF-ON button can be reassigned, and I notice that the default customisation is as "AF-ON". What does this actually mean? I set it to AE/AF lock and got that working...

I'm still annoyed that Nikon hasn't made an FTZ with a focus motor to drive the screw drive on AF/AF-D lenses. It's one of the road blocks that's stopping me going from an F mount body to a Z mount. I found out yesterday that there is a Megadap adapter (MTZ11) that converts Leica M to Z, and it...

Hi. I bought my D750 with the 24-120 f4 about four years ago, and I really enjoy it. Prior to that I had a D3100 with the 18-55 kit which I then passed down to my daughter. She now has a D700 so the 3100 is surplus to requirements. I also have Sony Nex-6 with the tiny PZ 16-50 which I bought...

Hi I bought a Yongnuo YN622N kit and I am struggling a bit with it. I have a Nikon D750 and SB-700 speedlight. Problem 1. it says in the instructions that to go from manual to TTL I need to long press the GP/mode button on the transceiver and set it to orange for manual or green for TTL. I...

There is something that I don't understand. On a DSLR a small proportion of light (if I understand correctly) goes through the mirror and hits a second mirror that points the image down to an AF sensor. This AF sensor detects whether light is in phase in specific focus points, or not, and if not...

I took some indoor headshot portraits with my kit 24-120 f4 and was a little underwhelmed, and was also watching the "Angry Photographer" https://www.youtube.com/user/kathodosdotcom and he is always raving about the 180 f/2.8. Okay he raves about lots of things but the 180mm is cheap and seems...

Sometimes a Nikon D750 is just too big, like maybe if you are going to a social gathering of some kind. So today I picked up a Sony NEX-6 with the tiny Power Zoom 16-50 for £228 with six month warranty from a camera shop. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but you don't get to pick up and...

I just upgraded from a D3100 to a D750 (about four weeks ago). The D3100 rarely came out of Auto mode, but now my daughter is doing wonderful things with it so I got to upgrade. One of the things I saw in Tony Northrup's wonderful tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmT4wVNTTjE) was Back...

I bought a 70-300 AF-S VR on ebay a few days ago and today it arrived. It was described by the seller as "Used - but in excellent condition." which is one of the reasons I bought this particular one. I just tried is on my brand new D750 (which works perfectly with my 24-120 F4) and when I try to...

I have my D750 and some lenses, and I have a Sony DSC-HX20V for when I'm out and about and not planning to take photos but it's small enough to carry anyway. I notice that one can get Nikon 1 J3 with 10-30mm now for about £120 on ebay. It seems like a lot of small camera for very little money...

First trip out with my new D750. We went to Whipsnade for the day. Some shots are taken with the kit 24-120mm and others with an old plastic mount 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G lens that originally came with my F55 film camera. I also took some nice head shots of my daughter but she doesn't want me to...

I bought my D750 a couple of weeks ago, and a pair of fast 128Gb SD cards. For the first time I started to mess with raw NEF format. I followed the advice to save to both cars in NEF+JPEG(Fine). Last Sunday we went to Whipsnade zoo and had a play, and that evening had a look at the results. I...
