We have the Nikon 70-300mm, designed as a DSLR lens that works reasonably well on a FTZ adaptor, and the Tamron 70-300 that was designed to work with the restrictive, small Sony E mount, it's a ...

I think this is the problem, not much to choose between them, all Nikons equivalent focal lengths in Z mount are better than those in F mount so most of us want a upgrade. Consider the F and Z ...

You could try cleaning the contacts, and ensure the lens is fully locked in place for those contacts to connect, sometimes the contacts on the lens stick in their holder, they are spring loaded, ...

Strangely the only Tamron that interests me is the 50-400, basically for those shorter focal lengths which I would use at times instead of taking a 24-120mm alongside a 80-400, this would be great ...

There is a big firmware update rumoured for the Z8 and Z9.With both stills and video features.

I shoot motorsport. And the common thinking amongst non motorsport shooters or those beginning to shoot fast cars, bikes is that you must shoot at high shutter speeds to capture the action. Most ...

It may be a negative step for specific brands to charge extra for a limited feature such as this. So will charge you 150 to install the software. Nikon and Canon simply add the same firmware for...

Take a closer look at the photo, the crack can be seen propagating into the bayonet tabs, not a simple part. The bayonet mounts are generally made from brass and chrome plated. You will find that ...

Be very careful when comparing 70-300mm lenses there are 3 versions 2 are DX lenses, one with VR and the other without. If you want the full frame lens the AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR is ...

I also would not use any form of thread locker on such small bolts/screws, when trying to remove them they can shear the head of the screw. Originally they may have a "dry" light blue coating that ...

You can attach the same macro rail to to a geared 3 way such as the Benro. The macro rail does not set the angle of the camera or prevent it from moving when you tighten a ball head.

I also have this head, I used to struggle with a quality ballhead finding it frustrating when every time you tightened the head the lens would dip out of position. I found the geared head superior ...

I don't think the camera is ever fully off unless the battery is removed and the internal battery flat Try changing a lens with the camera switched off and observe the memory card lamp illuminate

If Nikon SELL the Smallrig made grip with Nikon branding it's "original" from Nikon. When Smallrig sell the same grip without Nikon branding it becomes OEM and will only fit a specific Nikon body I ...

I think basically a lot of people are looking for a replacement of the D500 and its 200-500mm Kit lens, sc, probably the most used lens on this body. We now have the Kit lens for a Z500 in the ...

I and my son maintain a BMW Alpina, we buy Febi suspension components. Febi make the parts for BMW, which BMW will sell as original BMW in BMW packaging. When Febi sell these components as OEM ...

I have used several ishoot collars on different lenses I currently have one on a 80-400, I used one on a 200-500 for around 5 years, they are good quality, But I rate them from the point of view ...

I wonder what the cost of  repair would be include a new shutter and it may be good for another load of clicks . They are still not cheap enough used to throw away.
