thanks I will have a look at that. This morning I asked google gemini to suggest colour profile settings for the D700 that would mimic Fuji film sims, and it did a pretty good job! The next trick is to turn off noise reduction completely and crank ISO to 3200 or 6400 to get some grain. we will...

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...

however, I'm no longer convinced that it actually needs calibrating. I took some more test shots:- 50mm f/1.4 AF-D set to fine-tune=0 (what my D780 says it should be):- and 35mm f/2 AF-D finetune=-5 :- for both shots I back button focused on the cosmetic product box which is exactly in line...

I took a brave pill and removed the bottom of my Df. It really wasn't difficult The screws that are missing in this photo are the ones that need to come out:- and this is what it looks like inside:- these three allen head screws calibrate the focus sensor

according to comments on a YouTube video:- Right screw: controls the leftmost part of the image Left screw, near the lens: rightmost and bottom part of the image Left screw, far from the lens: rightmost and top part of the image One comment was to use a 1.5mm allen key and different one say...

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...

I just bought a 105mm DC F/2 AF-D lens on ebay. On my nikon Df I have to max the AF fine tuning all the way to +20 to get it to focus properly whilst on my D780 it's about +15. Is this a fault of the lens? As it's a purely mechanical focusing system I don't see how the lens can have much to do...

I went for a walk in the woods yesterday (woods in Sophia Antipolis area). I cropped this one slightly just to centralise the bright circle, but I'm undecided whether a tighter crop is better, or not:- DSC_9142c by dieselnutjob, on Flickr I'm quite pleased with the accidental intrusion of two...

Sorry I don't. I've never been there.

A day out with a new (to me) Nikon Df:- DSC_8964 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8973 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8976 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9010 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9107 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

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

I bought one. There was one on Facebook market place for £500, but, I have come to the conclusion (in my opinion) that it's probably a scam. The seller says that the camera is in London, but lives in Manchester and works for (I think) a Korean employer, and won't answer Facebook messages. I...

my daughter says it's more "old fashioned" looking, which is what she wants

that really is a lot of money isn't it? why are they so expensive?

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...

I think that gtkam would probably work as well. The fundamental point seems to be that on a Linux system that ptp mode has to be used instead of mass storage mode. This won't work (as far as I know) "out of the box" because it doesn't just pop up as a drive, but instead needs software to be...
