    Nikon Showcase Meike 85mm f/1.8 Z-Mount

    This lens just arrived a few minutes ago. Will give you some initial impressions. No images to share just yet due to uncooperative weather. Price $200 Metal mount with USB connector for firmware updates. The plastic of the lens body and the hood feel cheap and is probably the a big thing...

    Nikon Showcase Nikon Nikkor Z 26mm F2.8

    I've had a chance to work with this new lens from Nikon quite a bit since receiving it on launch day. Here are a few from an afternoon garden walk. f/8 f/2.8 f/16 f/11 f/2.8

    Nikon Showcase Nikkor 105mm F/2.5 AI-S

    Another older lens without a showcase thread. This was another one of the manual F mounts I gifted myself this past Christmas, and Iā€™ve only been out with it once, but it seems quite nice. More to come.

    My Gear A Week Challenge - Week 3 - Nikon Zfc and Nikon 24-120mm f/4 S

    This is one of my favorite zoom combos for walk about. I will say that the Zfc was/is so far the better handler with gloves than the Fuji X-Pro2. I did get out and shoot with it today. Shot RAW+JPG and used the FujiXWeekly Kodak Elite Chrome recipe. Got to a few places that I have not...

    Nikon Showcase Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 ai-s

    Looks like another lens without a showcase thread. I had my first outing with it yesterday, on a dreary winters day. I quite enjoyed using it, although sometime while adjusting the focal length with heavy gloves on, I would accidentally move the aperture a bit. At the 25mm end, it needs a...

    Nikon Showcase Nikkor ai-s 20mm f/3.5

    I didnā€™t see a showcase for this lens, and my first outing was with it yesterday. More pics to come, but I REALLY like this lens. It needs a little tweaking in post to bring out the best in it, but thatā€™s limited to things like vignetting and contrast, not distortion.

    Nikon Today's Nikon Camera Bag.

    I am taking my Daughter to Roller Skating today- decided to bring the new Z5 with the Canon 50/0.95 and the Df with the 55/1.2 Ai. Also bringing the AIs 85/2. I have good luck with the M9 and M Monochrom with fast glass, 75/1.25 and 50/1.0. I've used the 50/0.95 with the Canon 7 in very low...

    Nikon Nikon Df Viewfinder Focusing Conundrum

    Playing around with my new-to-me Df and have run into an issue - the camera will not lock focus when half pressing the shutter button while looking thru the viewfinder. It simply racks back and forth. I have it set to AF-S, Normal area. The AF switch on the camera body is set to AF and the...

    This is a follow-on thread to my comments in my telephoto for Nikon Z thread. I'll be discussing and showing focus performance in various scenarios using the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 on an FTZ with a Nikon Z6. The first set I'll show is my son walking really slowly towards me as he's looking at...

    Nikon Budget Telephoto options for my Nikon Z kit

    I'm pretty new to the Nikon ecosystem, so here's some back story. I jumped in with a Z6 + Z24-70 f4 S + Z40 f2 + 70-300 AF-P + Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 (all second hand except the 40). I sold off all my Olympus PRO stuff to offset the cost, keeping EM 1.1, P 25f1.7, O 45 f1.8 & 40-150 f4-5.6...

    Nikon Nikon Telephoto AF Micro Nikkor 105mm F/2.8 D?

    Obviously this lens is optimised for Macro shooting but how good is it as a regular short tele? I'm thinking of adding a couple of more AF D lenses to my Nikon collection and while some (35/2, 50/1.4) are obvious, this length is not so much. I'd be using it on both my N90s & D7100. Thanks!

    Nikon Nikon Film Simulations - Yes! Agfacolor Fade

    FujiXWeekly Recipe Agfacolor Fade - supposed to resemble a faded color look from, the 1930's. I think I may be able to tweak this a little and get something close to a Kodachrome 25 film simulation. Not sure that I would use this simulation a lot for general shooting. Picture Control...

    I continue my ''quest'' to try out, or even keep, if possible, as many old Nikkor AF lenses as I can. This 28-105mm AF-D, I wanted to get for a long time. I got it off eBay, in perfect mechanical and esthetic condition. Inside, there is fungus. It doesn't seem to affect the image quality all...

    Nikon Voigtlander Mirrorless Lenses for Z Mount

    As Iā€™ve said before, thereā€™s probably no such thing as a ā€œbadā€ Voigt lens so Iā€™m sticking this up here for any Z Mount owners here. As someone who only wants smaller lenses for the rangefinder, Iā€™m thinking the Lanthar lenses might be better suited for me on the Z mount. Shame that the, by all...

    Nikon Nikon to halt DSLR sales in favor of mirrorless?

    I've seen this in a few places today but they all seem to eventually end up citing the same source, Nikkei Asia.

    Nikon NIKON D7500

    Hi everyone, I just formatted my D7500, and I've set the camera up with back button auto/focus using the AEL/lock button. I have one more issue. When I press the shutter it's trying auto /focus as well. And it undermines the purpose of using the ael button. Does anyone have some insight into...

    Nikon D600?

    So I have a line on a D600 fx body for $400. Cosmetics a bit rough but it has had the Nikon service for the shutter and about 5000 clocks since. I'd have to come up with the money and I do already have a nice D7100. OTOH it's a 24 mp fx body. Tempting. Yea or Nay?

    Hi I tried my hand at panorama and a tripod. An 18-55mm lens, my question is why are the pictures curved? I've heard of lens curvature. Is it because I was too close? Cans some some software straighten it? And where would I find it in lightroom cc Yes it took multiple shots (15) or so...

After several days of trying, I managed to clean the haze, so the lens performs much better. I would say...

All that, because of a few spots on the front lens element, that only created a few flares (sometimes interesting)! I ripped the flat cables in the...
