    WiFi for Nikon D810

    If all you want is have a small display connected to the hotshoe, a small pro videos monitor is a better fit to your application. No latency, less equipments hanging around! I found all wi-fi connection too slow for any shot with moving object!

    WiFi for Nikon D810

    The most reliable option at the moment is the Camranger. It only work with their own app, but their app is also light years ahead of the Nikon Camera Control Pro!

    Fuji 10-24mm review on Photozone

    This is the reason I don't use the X-T1 much now. The Fujifilm system is not very reliable in many way. I can get good result out of it most of the time. But I also missed a few important moment due to the camera frozen for a second or so. This OIS thing is a new one! :-(

    Nikon 85m 1.4 or Nikon 85 1.8 for dance competitions, events

    Like some other say, go with the 70-200mm f2.8 vrii. It's the king of bokeh (200mm/135mm instead of 85mm) in current Nikon line up (Non specialist). Its also focus much faster then any of the 85mm and come with VR too.

    Landscape Tripod Help Please

    When using common Arca plate, the plate will be clamped on the top deck of the new double decker clamp, the bottom of the plate was not resting on the base in this position. The locking side of the clamp cannot be lock down 100% in this position and can have a small displacement (floating around)!

    Landscape Tripod Help Please

    The Z1 is a no brainer at that price. But you may need to replace the quick release system as their latest clamp have some design issue!

    From Mirrorless back to DSLR?

    I brought a Fuji X-T1 and hope that it can replace my DSLR for non paid stuff. But it just doesn't work out! The X-T1 is too slow to use (all those dials for basic operation) and there are bugs in the operating system that can render the camera inoperable for up to 10 seconds. I missed some...

    Re: Tony Northrup reviews the D750 and trashes the Nikon 24-120

    There are two versions of 24-120: f4 and f3.5-f5.6! f4 is good, f3.5-f5.6 is junk!

    Equivalence: read this, then argue

    Wow, an article started with E=mc^2! But I am unable read pass the third bullet points! Even if all the points can be proofed with E=mc^2. They are still ignoring all practical aspect of photography. I myself found no equality between different size sensors in practice! So we need more then...

    Hiking/travel tripod: Sirui ET1204 or T-1205X; or Gitzo GT1542T, GT1544T, or GK1580TQ4?

    I only had 4 tripods, the other 2 are monopods. I bought an aluminum 2 series long time ago and then stop taking photograph for many years due to busy work schedule! When I came back to the hobbies, I got myself a carbon 2 series. But turn out its not so good for my biggest DSLR setup (SLR did...

    Hiking/travel tripod: Sirui ET1204 or T-1205X; or Gitzo GT1542T, GT1544T, or GK1580TQ4?

    This is what I use on my traveler. But it required major surgery to replace the stock quick release to this one! Its the best small head I ever used. For the plate. get the RRS L-Plate. Its run circle around all others including the Fuji own.
