None of the replies to my short narrative can know how it went down in detail — trying to keep it short . . . I was not hostile, simply stating facts: I was shooting my grandchildren, in a public ...

Recently took 2 of my Great Grandchildren, aged 5 and 7 to the local park for a play day, taking pictures of them with  my 70-200mm, standing in a place where I could get them both, when they were ...

Shot with same combo, no evidence of what your are seeing. This lens is not good at f/1.8, only acceptable at f4 and smaller aperture, at least on my copy which I've had for 15 years or so. ...

I've not been able to get the Sigma TC-1401 to work with any of my Nikkor lenses, but works well with my Sigma 150-600mm. My Nikon TC-17E II works with all applicable Nikkor lenses, reports the ...

The wind shifted for a day and opened up a blue sky that we haven't seen for 10 days, so took my newly rescued Mastiff/Retriever dog to the park for his first outing, confirmed he loves every ...

There was a recent thread about focus on the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art which prompted me to re-examine all my Sigma lenses: 14mm f/1.8 Art 14-24mm f/2.8 Art 35mm f/1.4 Art 50mm f/1.4 Art 150-600mm f/5-6.3 C

Agree mostly, although I'm not at all concerned about the weight of this lens: it's a necessity with good glass. I also have the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, and its hard for me to see any difference in IQ. ...

When the MC-36a is attached to my D850, and A8 AF activation is enabled, pressing the MC-36a shutter release button will not autofocus, but will trigger the shutter with focus set to "release" or ...

You can't use BBF - back-button-focus with the wired remotes. GS

I have all 3 of the Nikon TC's,and find them useful on my 600mm f/4, though the 2x is iffy, but works quite well on the 70-200mm f/2.8 E, for example: D850, 70-200mm f/2.8, TC 2.0E III, 400mm GS

as a D850 user, curious how I could put a hole in the shutter? Is it accessible by the user? asking for a friend;-) GS

All of my Pro-100's rebates (four) were received within 3 weeks, in the form of a gift card. I too was worried based on rebates in past years, but unfounded with Canon. GS

On my PC I had to move the folder into the Adobe plugins folder, looks like this: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Plug-ins Your Mac is probably different. Also, i finally dumped the ...

got Ultimate a few days ago (via youtube link https://bit.ly/3bMDCnz ) for $53.99 with the PS plugins. Have been using Canon Photo Studio Pro when it started to give me some wild printing output.  ...

I purchased mine at mpb.com about a year ago for $2300 with 1k clicks on it, and it in all appearances was in new condition. Of course, they should be a bit less now. The guarantee on used with ...

I've had the Kastar LCD Dual Smart Fast Charger and two Watson B-3416-2 Battery Packs for a year and they have been reliable and allow 9 fps shooting with my D850. The Watson battery packs replace ...
