Messing with the f-mount 10-20 on the Z fc. Very happy with the first outing. Pataskala Cemetery 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Z 24-120mm f/4 announced, but I'm actually even more excited by another lens that's made an appearance on the roadmap - a Z 24mm DX(!), i.e. APS-C, lens. The one lens I seriously wanted them to make for, let's see ... 12 years now! I don't get the idea behind the 26mm, though - but maybe it's...

This looks to be a beast of a camera. I find it interesting that Nikon has done away with a mechanical shutter...

Stopped by Valley View on our way home ..........

So, been looking off months for batteries for the Nikon Z fc. Cannot seem to find any anywhere. OEM or third party has been a strike out. Asked Nikon when they may have some in stock and they could not say. All batteries they have are designated for the cameras they are selling. I did check...

One of the cheapest kit lenses I've owned. All I can say about it - not bad at all.

I know there is a Nikon Z f/1.8 Primes Showcase, but thought I'd segregate out the third party and give Viltrox it's own. this one for the 24mm. I'll probably be the only one posting in here for a while, but at least this will give others a look. Not much to see about it right now. Only got...

This lens ... is just great (for what it is). It's not the fastest, it's not the sturdiest, it's not the best Z lens - but it doesn't try to be all that, either. It's just a very good lens that does reliably well, whatever subject matter you throw at it. If only Nikon had chosen to put it into...

I'll start us off. I did have some images that I posted over on the Z 16-50 thread taken with the Z fc. This start is with the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8S prime on the Z fc.

Just wanted to post a positive experience with Nikon. With so much uncertainty in the world right now, it was nice to get a knowledgeable guy that was very professional. With two issues this week, 16-80 developed a catch in it's zoom and the Z 50 will not power on. Both Nikon and KEH stepped up...

Lets see some of those images showcased here from the Nikon Z 16-50 pancake zoom!! I'll start. Please note that I got this lens to go with my upcoming Z fc purchase. So I used it in this post with the Z6 and then used Topaz Gigapixel AI to go from the native 9-10mp image and upsampled it 2x...

Hi, I'm looking for an ultra wide lens for my D7100, D7500. The lens that I have my eye on is the Tokina ATX-I, 11-20mm f2.8, I know it's cousin the 11-16mm is supposed to be stellar. Anyone have any input? Again thanks,

It's still early days, but I want to share a couple of impressions about the Z 7 II because this camera genuinely surprises me again and again. First and foremost, while the Z 6 is already quite a fluid camera in use - but the Z 7 II is faster in all respects, in spite of the bigger files; the...

I feel like we need a spot to talk about this camera, because it's kind of a surprising move from Nikon. I had only briefly looked at the Z50 previously, and, while I know that Matt likes it (as I recall), it just never moved the needle. This camera does, and it's not just for the good looks...

Just practicing, manual focus, handheld, but quite ok IMO.

I recently picked up one of these and am very happy with it. This is on a Z5 via FTZ. Output is very nice. AF speed is snappy. It's long on the front with the FTZ but pretty light in weight. Very good value imo. Especially with the current sale. There are compatibility guidelines and some...

I don't need another camera. For the first time I can say that and mean it after thinking it through. My Z6 shoots everything, better than any camera I've ever owned , close enough that I don't care. Nikon's updates have helped this platform grow into a world class imaging system. That's how...

Regarding 28mm f/2.8 lenses for Nikon. The Series E lens has for whatever reason gained in asking price and is now close towards 100 €. Some of you will say the time for Series E was when these lenses could have had for 50 € or so. A general consensus seems to be that the 28E has the worst...

I'm getting more and more frustrated that Zeiss nor Voigtländer (Cosina) make a nice MF 28mm for Sony E-mount (full-frame), so I'm thinking of getting a Zeiss Loxia 2.4/25 when a good deal comes along. To find out if that focal length works for me, I took the only 24mm I have, an old Vivitar...

So I’m thinking of a return to full frame, this time with Nikon and especially the Nikon Z5. Which seems to be in my budget range. My question for folks here, is do you have some sense for a good price for a z5 used? also I could use some lens recommendations. What I’d really like is a 24 to...

It's a short cable meant to connect a dumb battery grip with the camera body. I have a battery grip but not this cable. I can't seem to be able to come up with the proper keywords because I can't find one on ebay, aliexpress, anywhere.

Photographing the face of a killer.

PK, PN, M2... there are plenty of different tubes offered for Nikon F mount lenses. But this is my current understanding: PK tubes are Ai and won't really fit with pre-Ai lenses. PK tubes offer automatic aperture and pass aperture selection to the body. PN tubes are pre-Ai and offer/won't...

Any conceivable reason to choose the non-micro f/4 lens over the Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4?

With the Irix 15mm F2.4 Firefly. Pretty amazing camera. Pretty amazing lens.

E-series 100mm F2.8

This might not be that hot of a deal, but I've noticed the Coolpix A, a competitor to the original APS-C Ricoh GR, is available new from several sellers on eBay for a lot less than the GR/GR II is going for, even used. Granted the Coolpix A doesn't have Ricoh's awesome snap focus or its JPEG...

First outings today with my new Nikkor AF-S 55-200 VR II on the 1 V2. Very pleased with the results, especially considering I learned when I came back in the house that the VR switch was set to "OFF". I also need to learn how to tweak the focus manually, as the lens kept locking onto twigs just...

Review on DP Review Review: Nikon NX Studio answers our plea for a free, all-in-one editing app

Some questions: Anyone owned/ owns this lens? How does it really perform compared to the other fast aperture Nikkors? Is its astronomical (IMO) price based on supply and demand or because it’s that good? Just curious, that’s all.

So, I get that larger f numbers like f/22 actually mean that it's a smaller opening and that smaller f number like f/2 is a big opening. I learned that thanks to a really helpful beginner video I just watched - . But my question is this...WHY is the size of the aperture backwards from the...

I posted this on a Nikon Z Facebook group so I apologize if anyone here is a member and saw this there. This is 100% zoomed into an image I took. It may be hard to see here, but much easier on my laptop screen. On the right hand side you can see the edits I made in Lightroom Classic 10.1.1...

I‘ve been looking at the film sims I stored on my D300 a while back and been playing around with the settings in Kodak Portra 160 NC. I’m getting to like it’s cooler look and will consider using it more often on those subjects I think will benefit. It doesn’t suit all subjects so I’ll need to...

I actually thought the Nikon F6 was discontinued a few years ago but it appears it happened a few months back. 17 Years is a pretty good run for a camera. I didn't realise it was originally released in 2004 - that seems like yesterday! Edit - looks like this was mentioned back in Nov - Nikon -...

On Monday morning I saw a pair of foxes lazing in the sun at the bottom of my garden and managed to get four images before one noticed I was watching. I was about 60 feet away and behind doubled glazed doors and absolutely still so how it sensed my presence is a mystery.

I find 35mm to be a very versatile FL for shooters looking to achieve many things. I do a lot of hiking, & this beautiful little lens is usually invited. jt

D600 + 55mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor DSC_0909 (1) by Walter Kernow, on Flickr DSC_0938 by Walter Kernow, on Flickr DSC_0925 by Walter Kernow, on Flickr

I've been pondering starting to save towards adding a full frame Nikon DSLR to my ensemble. So I started looking at lower end ones. These prices are all a KEH but seem representative: D750 - $1000 D610 - $750 D600 - $500 Now $500 is significantly easier to save for in a world of surprise...

From Michael Johnston at The Online Photographer Blog: The Online Photographer: The Nikon F, 1959-2020 (typepad.com) And so it goes. Perhaps I should look for another film F again? I've always wanted a F4.

A nice compact 100mm F2.8 lens that was designed to be a value option. Wasn't allowed to carry the Nikkor name with its plasticky build. Which actually translates well to this modern mirrorless age being lighter and cheaper. My copy is sharp but needs a few stops for out of camera contrast. It...

For each camera system, there's always talk about a "Holy Trinity" of primes the existence of which can actually define that system. Well, Nikon has done a fabulous job providing a solid set of affordable (though not exactly cheap), sufficiently compact primes, all of which share a maximum...

This is the first image I’ve ever shot at iso 6400 using my D300, preferring to use it as close to base iso if possible. Though newer sensors produce next to no noise/grain I am impressed with this result and think that with careful choice of subject the results are acceptable. This is...

Time to start saving, Matt: https://photorumors.com/2020/10/06/nikon-z9-mirrorless-camera-rumored-specifications/#more-126450

Have a new lens to work out and went out to do so. Hint of cool in the air, frost warning for tonight, the birches are mostly changed already and the maples have begun.

Alongside Ming Theins announcement, this was another impactful bit of news on my feeds this week. So Matt has decided it's a good time to change gear he uses professionally. You may know he shoots pretty much all gear for review/youtube purposes but Nikon DSLR has been his professional core...

So my preowned Df seems pretty alright in all aspects but there appears to be a misaligned component in the viewfinder. (Picture material taken from the user manual so their copyright.) This is how it's supposed to be. This line on the bottom is what I see when I look through the VF...

Couldn't find a proper thread so I started one.

This guy has found Df https://measuringlight.com/2020/05/23/nikon-df-in-2020/

Shooting primarily with my Nikon D7500 with 3 primes. 24mm 2.8 AF-D 50mm 1.8 AF-D 85mm 1.8 AF-D Ya I know not the latest, but they were affordable and provide great image quality. FOV is 36-75-127
