Welcome to Nikon-DSLR


Last post in topic: 2012-04-02 06:33:30 by jk
Hello and Welcome to the new Nikon-DSLR forum. We have moved here from the old forum as the old forum software was in need of replacement and upgrading. The server was also in need of a speed boost. So here we are in a new home. Over the years since we began way back when cameras were mainly film and some had digital cameras. Today the reverse is true with digital cameras of multiple types (DSLR, mirrorless, etc) and on multiple platforms such as hand held, tripods, car and bike mounted, drones, etc.. and film is less used. We have also seen many of our members revise their use of the camera and now a mix of camerasa, e.g. use smartphones for daily snap-shooting but others have preferred the use of compact and bridge cameras as well as digital cameras of the type of DSLR, mirrorless, in APS-C, Full Frame and Medium Format sensor size. As such we are allowing members to contribute no matter what camera make they have so we are not just a Nikon site. Indeed I have Nikon, Fuji, Canon and GoPro cameras as well as a DJI drone. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

Nikon lens types.


Last post in topic: 2013-06-01 13:00:30 by jk
This is about the newer lens types and their use on the latest DSLR. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/go35b5yp/which-nikkor-lens-type-is-right-for-your-d-slr.html The older lenses will work in manual focus mode but if they are non Ai they will not meter correctly and even if Ai then they may not work with some of the newer consumer DSLRs. This Nikon reference article is very helpful identifying the different Ai type lenses. https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1160/~/what-is-the-difference-between-nikon-manual-lenses-types-%28ai,-ai-s-etc%29 Notes: This is info about the older legacy Nikkors. These lenses are termed F mount non-Ai lenses and date from the early Nikon range of lenses introduced in 1959. Non-AI, Pre-AI (also called NAI) refers to the original Nikon F bayonet lens mount and lenses introduced in 1959 for the Nikon F camera. These lenses have an aperture coupling prong just below f/5.6. When used on cameras made before 1977, you had to "index" the lens to the camera's meter by mounting the lens and then remembering to rotate the lens to its largest aperture and back so that the meter was properly calibrated. You can recognize these first lenses from: 1.) Solid coupling prong. 2.) No coupling ridge on the bottom of the aperture ring. 3.) No second set of tiny aperture numbers on the aperture ring. Note..... Non-AI lenses should not be mounted on the newer DSLRs. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

This is another piece of useless information about droving roads. In this twisty West Country road if you look top right there is the entrance to a Halfpenny Acre. (Shown better in crop underneath) The hedge rows suddenly billow out ...this is where livestock were halted and crowded up while being counted into a field......... The drives were often days long and the livestock needed to be 'lodged' overnight. Farms along the drovers road set aside a small field where the itinerant creatures could be parked for the night for the fee of a ....half penny. Hence the name. Although no longer shown on this photo, these resting places were frequently "signposted" with 2 Yew Trees*. Thus weary Drovers could see where the next "service station" was and could judge their distances to resting points in advance. If you see a farm with 2 (now large) yew trees standing by the road near its entrance .....it's probably the site of an ancient Halfpenny Acre. * The 2 deciduous trees in the foreground MIGHT have been an alternative to yews ....or may just be .......2 trees in a field.

I cant justify a Z9 or even upgrading my Z7. The Z7 is a good performer but newer cameras such as the Z9 and Fuji XH2 are so much more refined. Also APS-C is the new FX! My Fuji XH2S and XH2 have AF that performs better than my D850 which means that my Nikon inventory is in severe danger of going to MPB or Park Cameras for trade in. Next few months of XH2 testing will tell. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with the XH2 & XH2S. 40mp seems a lot for an APC-S sensor. I could imagine, noise will be a bigger issue than the XH2S sensor at 26mp. ____________________ Eric

jk wrote: Robert, does the lens get less sharp when you shoot a distant point and use focus past the infinity mark? Lens theory says it shouldnt matter as parallel rays are parallel (e.g. notional infinity source). That does not sense to me - surely if the lens goes beyond infinity in terms of its focussing, then parallel rays will be focussed to a point which is not in the sensor plane? ____________________ If it is broken it was probably me ....

New Macro Lens
Canon FD 85mm 1.2 L 1-5x Manual Focus Lens


Last post in topic: 2019-02-02 02:45:45 by Robert
Hi Mike, it's completely manual, the working distance is good, obviously the DoF is paper thin at that magnification. This is a full frame, untouched, straight out of the camera image, I think it's at X2 but not sure on that. The DoF can be clearly seen on the counter surface, the gold item is the edge of a Pound coin. I would regard totally manual as a big plus for this type of work. It really needs focus stacking, which I will do once I get my bench made. While UK Digital may not send to Canada, I would have thought Laowa would have an agent in Canada? I know of users of this lens in the US. I don't know how accessible the US retail is for Canadians. Here is a thread from an enthusiastic US user. http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,7106.msg114483.html#msg114483 D800, 1/20second, f5.6, ISO4000, very poor, mixed fluorescent and daylight lighting. Again hand held, D800 jammed against the counter. ____________________ Robert.

Very grainy!I believe the Mk2 is better however I wasn't prepared to spend more money on another system in the vague hope that the viewfinder might be adequate. I ditched the EM5 for a D4 which delivers the results I require. I think you made a good decision. I think 4/3 is a nice format but too small for critical work especially if you want to crop and make enlargements. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

Adapter SD card to XQD slot.


Last post in topic: 2018-09-22 06:30:14 by jk
Back on Topic. The UHS-II bus on SD cards goes up to 312 MB/s transfer speed maximum, which is not as fast as the new G series XQD cards. XQD can theoretically handle 1000 MB/s, which gives it a lot of room for growth. That's down to XQD using a different bus (PCI Express), which makes it physically incompatible. I think at this point we can close this discussion of an adapter for SD cards in an XQD slot as being not feasible! I will lock this thread at this point. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

How to Add Special Effects in Photoshop


Last post in topic: 2017-01-20 09:52:28 by jk
To make it convincing it isnt quite as simple as they make out. I am sure that Eric, Graham or others will give you all the detail but it is equally easy to make an average image complete rubbish. Used skillfully Photoshop or other pixel level editors are able to enhance an image so it is great or good. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

totally disgusting


Last post in topic: 2012-08-06 13:57:17 by jk
Well as I posted in my original link...... The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. (That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE. So the swasti predates the Romans and indeed is found in sanskrit writings in India that are approx 2000BC. I think casting judgement on people in history is a difficult and open to error by the judges. History is frequently not accurately recorded or twisted to suit the victors. Since we seem to have concluded that the the salute was not a Nazi one and Blackfox is happy that the thread is closed I will comply with his request and close/lock this thread. Discussion in another new thread can always be started especially in this Everything Else section. However please be careful about statements as sometimes it is possible to offend other members especially when making sweeping generalisations. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none

How do I put up a video ?

I believe that you can also use the same method as uploading an image at a different url by using UBB codes to link to the video on the other server. ____________________ Still learning after all these years! https://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php?user=2&folderid=none
