I really want a reverse adaptor to mount the new lenses on my D850!:-D

I was afraid of that! Oh well. It's only money! I

I know I need to stop looking, but occasionally I follow a link without realising it is him. Once I start, it takes me a while to stop looking, much like a bus crash where you can't take your eyes ...

Excellent, Lance! How did you keep it secret? I am heading to Costa Rica in 2020 and last time my 300 f2.8 was a bit short for some birds. The 500 f4 is heavy and difficult to carry overseas. Do ...

Always listen to LanceB. I certainly do. Here is my take- I own the 300 f2.8 and recently bought the 300 PF. The PF is excellent and mostly I love its output. Also, it is sooooooooo easy to hand ...

I agree with this-I sold my D800 and D810 when I bought my D850. So all those high resolution sensors over the past few years. I am no computer wizard, but no problem whatsoever with my ordinary ...

Doesn't that mean that it doesn't work properly?

No free lunches though. The accessories may be cheaper from third parties but if they don't work properly it could become a false economy. To utilise the D5 as you wish to may involve biting the ...

I don’t mind the stick. It gives her a reason to look slightly sideways. I think without the stick it would be less convincing. Funny how tastes vary. I can see the previous poster’s point of ...

I think you have a good point there.  I l8ke the concept of the butt end of a dog walking away! I will add that to “the north end of a southbound camel” I😁

I just ordered two to make a nice pair of binoculars. I

Excellent! I love puffins and these ar beautiful images! Iain

I had a RRS bracket on my D810, but I sold the D810 when I got my D850. Just happened to go Kirk. They are excellent too. ProMedia is not familiar to me here in Oz I

I had a Sunway that worked well on my D5 so I bought one for my D850. It arrived quickly and looked good. I attached to to D850 and my new ball head. Tat's when the fight started! The L bracket ...

Agreed. I don't feel my D5 is "plagued" by anything. I

There is no doubt the D810 is an excellent camera. A lightly used one should last you for a very long time. The D850 has some advantages, but they may not be relevant to your needs. If you need ...

I am pleased to hear it. Internal flash memory. No more cards to lose.:-D

On my D500 it was a busted shutter. Good luck. Hope it isnt I:-(

Agreed . Too expensive for what I had in mind. As you say, I have no real need or specific use for the equipment. Thank you for taking the time to help. I was just looking for an old second hand ...

I didn't know that. I was expecting Lexar XQD to reappear. My D5 seems to prefer Sony for some reason, but my D500 and D850 don't seem to have a preference. A very reliable and technically ...
