Ulrik, these are fantastic images. Don't listen to the wind.

"Menu diving" on my D 5300  was the deciding factor for buying a D7500 with wheels and dedicated ,customizable buttons. Still love the images from it, though . .

Just about any of the D 5XXX are good. The weight is less than some Mirrorless cameras and I found the low light ability is better than I expected.. I would skip kit lenses or buy them cheaply used ...

Some folks just like the hard way I guess .

Catalan66 , I bought the G5X you already have , for the same reasons you list in your post.

Flange distance for M42 is 45.56mm , Nikon F ( whether full frame or APSC) is 46.5mm. So- to get infinity focus from an M42 lens on a Nikon, the adapted lens has to sit at 45.56 mm. There are only a ...

I'm very happy with my Sigma 150 macro. The working distance is fantastic on DX. It's a heavy beast but the results are outstanding. It should have a reasonable price now since the lens is ...

These are fine images! The color and grain suits my taste well. If you can recall without making a big effort to look it up, what were your typical shutter speeds outdoors? Thanks for posting, much ...

You will get as many opinions as there are users for each camera. I'll just leave a quote: " Better than the D500, the D7500 has better auto exposure ( my D500 too often gives poor exposure ), and ...

Thanks for your imput and observations ,Asia . Yes, that's a bit grainy and muted. I'll keep looking.

Thanks for posting  your images, tassienick. I like the saturation in your images , and some grain is good. i was unaware of shadow detail issues. Probably could be improved in post I'm guessing.

You are so right about Portra , and thanks for the ISO advice. I've only used 200 so far as I get accustomed to  using film again . I'm looking for somewhat fine but visible grain ; the color I ...

Thanks , Overrank ! From what images I've searched/seen the 800 does look colorwise and finely grained . The first check I did was U.S. $37 for three 36 exp ISO 400 rolls,from Amazon US , B&H our ...

For any of you t hat have tried them, how do you like the Lomo 400 or 800 color film? If you didn't like it, why not? It looks fine-ish grained to me with good color rendition and I might give it a ...

I have this lens on a Nikon F mount, and that doesn't sound normal. Don't think it would be normal on any body ,but perhaps your body has to have manual focus override on the camera too ?

MacroMatic ,thanks. It's a fun one to use but delicate with focusing. I really need a finer thread helicoid .

Continued from June ? This one, from a Meyer-Optik 80mm Diaplan. I mounted it on a Nikon with extension tubes, a 17-55mm helicoid M43>Nikon F adapter. Coreopsis "Jewel" a mounding ,low growing variety.

Just format the card .
