Thank you - all for the ID of the weapon. As for the rest...well, surely you have more interesting things in your life than to continue the non-sequitur part of the original thread, no? :-(:-(:-(

I have driven cross-country (USA) several times, over  just about all the main east-west routes, from the most northern ones to the most southern one. If I were starting at Minneapolis-St.Paul, I ...

Thank you, I am always willing to learn. However, seems to me that rerunning the test, leaving ISO alone does not test whether high ISO creates more noise. Which is what I'm trying to determine. ...

All at f-11 ISO 100: 1/13th  ISO 200: 1/25th  ISO 400: 1/50  ISO 800: 1/100  ISO 1600: 1/200  ISO 3200: 1/400  ISO 6400: 1/800  ISO 12800: 1/1600  ISO 25600: 1/3200. To cut to the chase, I am not ...

... just trying to turn this into a photography / gearhead discussion...

I came across this photo of allegedly US forces operating behind German lines in WWII. There is an unfamiliar weapon in the hands of one, clearly of different caliber than the bandolier of rifle ...

These were all shot at f-11, on a tripod, and the shutter was adjusted for each shot in order to have a close-match of exposure for all, depending on the ISO used. Deliberately: no PP work except ...

At any rate, here is my test on a Nikon D5500 and an older D5100 for ISO values from 100 to 6400. One can make their own judgment whether the results are usable for their own particular need. (A ...

Thank you very much for your prompt and useful responses. I rechecked my manual and it did have some information, but on a different page (why, who knows?) At any rate, I got both cams to "beep." ...

I would like these cams to "beep" when they think they are in focus . I can not seem to find that in their manuals. (There is a mention of a "beep" when not in focus...) Any help, please?

Amen. I almost invariably bracket, +/- 0.7 to 1.3 f-stops. Cheap digital "film" allows this "guarantee" of one good exposure, even if the camera gets "fooled." There are other things to worry ...

No, no, I would not want to wish that to my worst enemy! :-P

An even better point is: Why bother taking a camera at all? ( Erin go bragh!) ;-)

It may or may not be pertinent, however here it is: I recently purchased a (new) Tokina 11-20mm f-2.8, & used it in a Nikon D5100 and D5200. It will not autofocus reliably with either camera, if ...

My slide copying is 5 years old, but remains my current thinking. I haven't seen or read anything that would make it faster or cheaper. 100-200 slides per hour*, quality as good as your camera's ...

That is precisely what we did (and still do) when we are geotesting for bridge foundations.

I merely stated my settings - not necessarily recommendations. However, your point is well taken regarding obtaining true colors...yet I am not sure which setting would be the best, on a pitch ...

Hi Kent, I've been there only once, about 4 years ago, then they did not allow photography inside. Maybe that has changed. May I suggest that you call the Biltmore people, and ask them that ...

I only shoot lightning at night. (I suppose it could be done in daytime, if I had a whole bunch of ND filters.) My settings are as follows: DSLR (Nikon D5100) and either a Tokina 11-20mm f-2.8 at ...
