This is the tripod head I've settled on getting. I don't want the D750 Acratech quick release plate because I want a universal plate. I'll also be using it on the MB-D16 grip. HOWEVER, which one would somebody recommend? The Acratech specs say that the GP-ss is "Compatible with Kirk, Arca...

I did some looking around and reading before posting this, but I've gotten too confused about all the options for something simple: For the camera and flash mentioned, which wireless trigger setup should I get? I read a lot of good about Cactus and PocketWizard but the latter seems pretty...

This is a simple question for fellow Lightroom users who take NEF RAW files: do you convert your files to DNG format once you import to Lightroom, or do you leave them as NEF files? If you want, please explain your rationale. I'm trying to decide upon the best course of action for my LR imports.

Looking in the Nikon SB-910 manual, it shows that both 2,600 mAh and "eneloop" Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries give you an approx. minimum recycling time of 2.3 seconds with this flash. However, I find this unusual since Sanyo Eneloops are typically only 2,000-2,100 mAh. Does anybody have...

I just watched this excellent dpreview test of the D750. Very insightful! I've got some new settings to check out, that's for sure.

On my new Nikon D750, I've set my custom function f5 "Menus and playback" option to "On", which allows me to scroll through menus and images using the command dials instead of just the multi selector. Incredibly fast and convenient!! This function works as described EXCEPT for when I press the...

The D750 has me interested in taking video clips since it's much more capable than my previous other-system DSLR. However, I took my first video today and immediately noticed the in-camera AF noises. I did some preliminary research into external stereo mics, but I'd like to know which ones you...

I'm just wondering if there's any sort of feature on the D750 where you can preview the effect of a WB setting before you actually take a shot? Or do you just select a ballpark WB setting, take a shot, play it back, then adjust if needed until you get the right setting?

I just thought I'd share that I'm a new D750 - and Nikon - owner. I'm not quite as new to these forums as I've been lurking around for a few months, reading info and posting the odd post. I must say that I haven't been this excited about photography for quite a long time. I started with a...

I found the following assertion on the Ken Rockwell site. I've gotten the sense that his views can be a bit controversial, and I suspect this one might be to some. I'll quote it then ask my questions: "Don't buy a midrange zoom. Carry a fixed 50mm instead, like a pro.Pros don't use midrange...

I'm wondering about peoples' experiences with this 2x teleconverter used with this lens? I'm wondering specifically about image quality: is it degraded at all by using this TC? And there is a 2-stop reduction, correct? Would the 1.4x or 1.7x TC be better and if so, why? If there's already...

Hi folks, I've been researching the past several months about the possibility of switching to Nikon. I'm not a serial-switcher but rather I do a lot of research before making a big change. I wasn't too keen about some of the 'restrictions' on Nikonians, so hopefully I'll be able to mill around...

I'm considering a switch to Nikon at some point, but am really struggling with whether I should get the Nikkor AF-S 24-70 f2.8 or the 24-120 f4 for portraits. This isn't so much a question of zoom range but mostly maximum aperture and cost. I've done a lot of reading on this issue, and I've...
