I actually used pliers to get the both sides of that hot shoe to be closer and I think it solved the problem. Thank you.

I am using an old beat up D700, and after 260k actuations, some things are failing ... one of them is the connection with the Nikon SB-700 speedlight. When I connect it on any other camera, it ...

This is a good example of bad advise on the net.

I've been always using Singlepoint AF on my Nikon D700 and usually try not to move the camera too much ... not a fan of focus and recompose as I mostly shoot wide open f2-3.5. What I noticed is ...

As the title says ... sometimes we go on these bike or hiking trips and I want to find a way to go very light and yet be able to have my Nikon D700 Body + 70-200mm 2.8 lens + small Flash. Really ...

Appreciate everyone's recommendations. To clarify, I need a tripod for one of those once in a month or two to take a group photo of us outdoors or indoors, nothing crazy. No weird angles. Just need ...

I am using a Nikon D700 and conditions are nothing crazy. Just need for those group shots where I want my face in.

Please Recommend a Sturdy under $200 Tripod that handles 70-200mm 2.8 lens. I don't plan to drag it far, so don't care about it being crazy light, but it needs to be sturdy with quick release. thanks.

After playing around with this tool https://dofsimulator.net/en/ Few takeaways. At anything less than 45mm FX, bokeh/shallow DOF doesn't really matter. So the only benefit of f/2.8 vs 4 is the ...

It's not that much cheaper than the Nikon 24-70. I'd rather then go with Nikon. No?

Got it. Aside from cost, things you list above like the round viewfinder and independent AF back button are important to me. I do like the U1 and U2 option on the D750 body. The only reason why I ...

:-) .... possibly, possibly, thought I do like my 50mm 1.8 and when I compared shots from my 85mm 1.8 to the 24-70mm at it's long end, I preferred shots from the 85mm prime.
