Thanks for mentioning the auto feature in the firmware.  Great tip.

Get the USB dongle for iPad and then connect the camera directly.

Thank you all for the thoughtful responses.  Sounds as if the 80-400, although heavier and larger gives more more flexibily as well as disaster back up.

I am going on an expedition cruise to the Aleutians with my 500 PF and D500 for wildlife with a Z as a camera for general use.  Better to bring along a 80-400 or 70-200 F4 with TC1.4, or not bring ...

Nikon SP- back to their roots.

SB 300 works well for me.  I used it for this single flash shot recently, with a soft box.

I also have Nikon DX and Sony.  After much angst I got a Z6 w 24-70. Pairs nicely with DX which I use for long reach, and the Z is a backup for the DX. Very nice to have a single system. My wide ...

Here is the link for Sony, just find the Nikon file. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61313473

I have checked myD500 and no need to fine tune any lenses.  On the other hand I have a D7100 that has been problematic and found that fine tune helped a lot on all  my Nikon lenses.  My ...

Often I do not use the hood, but for my crop 20mm, I bought a cheap metal shade that screws into the polarizer, so I have an integral unit.  Works well and is not unlike my old Leica rangefinder ...

Absolutely those of us with DX lenses would appreciate Nikon support

Thanks, just placed the order.  I figure that for macro not much power is needed.  I bought a bracket that is flexible at B&H for off camera.  Ill give it a try this weekend.

Very nice shots.  I have a similar rig and am just starting out doing macro.  Did you use flash?  I'm considering getting a Nikon sb 300 for off camera flash with a soft box.

I agree.  The 18-135 is a great travel lens.  I also take the 20mm when I want less bulk.

thank you!
