I have tried it--and yes, depending on many factors, 'a bunch' could be in the hundreds or it could be far less. Here's an example that I just did casually. This is a crop from time-lapse frames I ...

A bunch of 1/10s blended exposures will have the same effect.  Even a bunch of 1/100s or 1/1000 would.  The shorter the shutter speed, the more photos you need to blend. The ocean has randomized ...

Here's a free alternative to using ND filters.  It is more work, however. You could try taking a bunch of well exposed pictures and then stack (merge) them.  It will have the same effect as long ...

You started 3-4 threads on the same topic to argue when you don't agree with the answers you get, and I'm the one foaming at the mouth? You dismissed & didn't respond when these topics were ...

I missed that this was the 50 F/1.2 in my response.  These are good points.  But it simply means you can't save the Fine-tune values.  Updating the values (or default) when the lens is mounted ...

It's not being discounted--it's been brought up several times.  If anything, it's being ignored with the F-mount.  An F-mount mirrorless would be much more costly to produce than a camera without ...

No, we don't know that. You've so far failed to provide the example of the Nikon 50mm F/1.0 that Canon has. Also, which manufacturer has tried? Lack of existence of lenses does not mean they are ...

Are you saying that you do have the 105mm F/2.5 first generation on your D750? Just like when you claimed Sony's cheapest 85mm lens was $1200, I don't believe it. Can you post a picture here? Also, ...

Wrong dimension.  I even underlined "thickness / depth."  Not "top / bottom" Also, note that Canon's EF mount is already 10mm larger in mount diameter than Nikon's F mount. To be clear, I'm asking ...

How would you design a mirrorless f-mount body that can autofocus better than a mirrorless body + adapter? What are the differences? ...so that people would have to buy all new lenses.  So they are ...

You're forgetting that mirrorless cameras AF...on sensor. What did that same author in say about Canon's EF-M adapters ...? (1) "My favorite part of today’s tests, though, weren’t the lenses. It was ...

I've calibrated my (customized) split-prism focussing screen using shims.  This is a different calibration than the camera's AF-Fine tune. The camera's AF fine tune works on manual focus lenses on ...

I don't use it as much as I probably should.  Almost never.

See my post here . I personally have a very wide array of lenses--from very old (late 70's) to the latest "E" lenses. I don't think anyone is advocating for getting rid of the F-mount or even ...

I don't disagree here. But remember that Nikon doesn't need to make all new lenses. They can do a handful that really take advantage of mirrorless benefits, like pancake lenses, AF-P lenses, lenses ...

I'm using this FT1 as an example of an adapter--a FF mirrorless would surely not be this adapter, since it's designed for a 1" sensor (eg. it has the additional 'box' inside). You're also talking ...

I've had a D750 that was effected by the recall.  To be honest, even pre-recall wasn't too big of a deal--turning the camera off & on resolved the issue until it happened again under very specific ...

Here's an example of a real adapter that works: The Nikon FT-1. This takes Nikon F-mount lenses and adapts them to Nikon 1 bodies. First, the rear: Note that's full electronic communication. No ...

Due to what appears to be confusion in how the F-mount communicates between lenses & camera bodies, I just prepared the following: This is one example of an F-mount DSLR mount. Here are the ...

I never said that it would. What I've said from the get-go is that the lenses would need to be designed differently anyway to communicate differently with the camera to improve performance--meaning ...
