    What's the cause of this haze?

    Appreciate the link. I watched enough to know that I don't want to tear mine down. As you say, it won't affect the photos so I think I'll live with it :)

    What's the cause of this haze?

    Thanks for this. I don't think this would be an easy process to remove the top plate. If it's not mould (and therefore unlikely to spread) I think I'll leave it.

    What's the cause of this haze?

    I'm asking for some helping in identifying this haze in the viewfinder of a new (to me) Nikon L35 AD. Is this haze cause by mould? Or is it something else? Grateful for any insights.

    Nikon L35AD - first images

    I'll give this a try. The only other solution I've found is to half press while pointing at a bright light source, then recomposing. This seems to work as long as the focal distances on both compositions are similar.

    Nikon L35AD - first images

    A week ago I picked up an untested Nikon L35AD. Now I've got two rolls back from it, I'm impressed with this compact camera. I didn't have high expectations for the autofocus but it's been very reliable. The only criticisms so far are that there's no aperture-priority mode and no way of turning...

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    Do you think the Z8 style screen would be too bulky if they used that design on the Zf?

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    It’s interesting what you say about the files. I used to shoot the Z6 and Z7 side by side and always found the Z6 files to be too rich in saturation - even when choosing the standard profile. I used to mildly desaturate the Z6 files to match the Z7 ones, which looked very natural straight out of...

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    Thanks. I have an action set up in Photoshop that does a B&W conversion with low values on the red channel and moderate on both blue and green channels (about 50 on each channel, from memory).

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    I have a few 3m wide prints from my D810 (36mp) and they really are incredible to view up close. The images were shot on the 50mm f1.8G - not renowned for being incredibly sharp. I’m quite curious to see how the lower resolution Zf files compare, given the Z lenses are sharper. The B&W files...

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    I might have to start doing this 😁

    I have definitely had to adjust my hand position, depending on the lens. Shooting with your two bodies, which screen type do you prefer? I’ve found myself missing the Z7 screen for shooting low. To do the same with the Zf is more cumbersome.

    The Zf for travel photography in France

    I’m sharing some thoughts on the Nikon Zf as a travel camera after spending some time in France with it as my main camera. The Zf is new to me, so I was learning the camera as I travelled. In terms of the handling, there has been an adjustment phase. Prior to this I was primarily shooting on the...
