Thanks. That worked, once I put it in a folder right under root on the C: drive, so it didn't inherit the read-only property from the Programs folder. FF portable won't run from a read-only location.

Thanks for the suggestion. But unfortunately, it won't install on my system. No matter where I try to put it on my C: drive, or what I name the directory, it tells me that the directory is invalid. ...

When it was time for a new printer, I would probably have purchased a P800 except for this. Instead, I decided that I'd rather have 13" wide prints w.o. wheel marks than 17" wide ones with them, ...

@bobn2: Don't know how this will play out, but if 3rd-party lens aren't a possibility, that would mean no Z-system Nikon for me. I've often depended on a non-Nikon lens to fill a gap in Nikon's...

I'm a long-time user of ACDSee Ultimate. But unfortunately, it has always been slow to support new cameras' RAW formats, compared to other programs. Why, I don't know (perhaps Glen has some ...

The problem with 'no ink' in the blue areas does sound like blocked nozzles, although 3mm seems wide for that. I wonder if there could be a blocked line? What does a printed nozzle check show? ...

I'd like to try the new (to me) version of FF. (I'm still on ESR 52.) But when I tried it shortly after the new version came out, it gave me no option to install it in a new folder - it simply ...

Which software? Most major programs that I'm aware of run under 7, although now a good number require the 64-bit version of the O/S. I'm still on 7 Pro 64-bit, and so far haven't found any program ...

Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies. I can't mark any one as 'the' answer, since all have contributed!

Are you asserting that the differences between a D3400 and a D5 are just 'marketing'? If not, then what do you make of the differences in nomenclature?

Nikon clearly breaks their cameras down into different categories. What do you think is the point of the different naming conventions - Dx, D6xx, D7xx, D8xx, D3xxx, D5xxx, D7xxx, and so forth?

Most sensible post I've read here (including some of the ones I did :-) . )

LMAO! You nailed him - he just doesn't - or won't - see it. (He probably doesn't use seat belts either - after all, he's never been killed in a car wreck. :-D )

Not only pros (although I was one many moons ago, long before digital), but there are those of us who are now at the point in our lives that trips to marvelous places are probably the last time ...

Other than price? :-D I know that they use T-stops, and I understand why, and, from the pictures I see, the information/settings on the barrels is more complete, although I don't understand why ...

@historianx: I'm simply reporting what Nikon itself on its US site says. Your argument is with them, not...

@morinor: Yes, but "Compatible With" still shows only the P1000. :-(

I find total confusion about this sight from Nikon.

Nikon press release: "The DF-M1 makes it easier to aim a super-telephoto lens like the 500mm at a fast-moving, distant subject ... ."

Nikon USA...

Well, according to Thom, Nikon hasn't exactly been catering to the DX crowd, at least as far as lenses go (buzz, buzz) for some time. Hard to see how that will change. Edit: For Thom's latest ...

Given what I've read about Sigma lens compatibility, or lack thereof,  with various Nikon DSLRs, my guess it will vary with different lens and bodies - some combinations will work, others will not.
