Agreed.  Then we need, at the same time, ultra-short flash durations.  Don't know how feasible that is or isn't.

An anti-rotation feature is a mechanical, as opposed to friction, device to prevent the camera rotating on the plate.  Typically one or more lips on the plate, making it, again typically, custom ...

I'm leaving the door open to a misunderstanding of the language used.

It surprises me, too. I've looked at a lot of sharpness assessments, can't think of any lens that is sharpest (centre or edges) wide open. For example, scroll down to the sharpness test: https://ph ...

Photographers are people and some people are jerks.  The appropriate response to the described situation is to call the 'pro' out on their poor behaviour on the spot - but not everyone is ...

I don't know how the person you're responding to will reply, but here's mine.  "No TC equals not for me" is a calm statement.  Many of the pro-grip people are hyperbolic, leading to an impression ...

Considerably better, IMHO.  The SB-5000 is configured mostly on-camera (for post D5 bodies), which some like and some don't - the key here is to configure a Fn button to get to the flash menu.  ...

If a person has one flash, I usually recommend OEM.  They work better and can often be repaired.  I find Nikon flashes slightly more consistent with TTL than aftermarket (e.g., Godox), and as ...

Saw it happen once.  The poor fellow was carrying a box with his PhD thesis (a large, complex program) and tripped.  He had not used the numbering feature when punching the cards (in spite of good ...

For anyone wanting a quick-detach strap, QD features on the plate are unbeatable.  Fast and reliable.  The Magpul sling is very comfortable.

No anti-rotation features.  For me, that's an essential in a plate.  This is the voice of almost-bitter experience.

How did we focus with film cameras, given that many DSLR photographers agonize today about perfect, high-speed auto focus, do AF Fine Tune at multiple focal lengths with expensive software and ...

No. Most likely. It can't hurt.  Received wisdom for AF Fine Tune is 50 times focal length.  So 400mm is 20 meters vs. 20 feet. You can look at many pictures from that lens at the ranges you're ...

What problem are you trying to solve, and does a mirrorless system solve it?  If you can't answer these questions, you're switching for the sake of it, which is just GAS. Biggest advantage of ...

My D850 does that in Live View or through the view finder. It finds the closest eye fairly reliably; but this only matters for thin DOF portraiture. Agreed!  AF Fine Tune is largely a one-and-done ...

Richard, a search for "pupil" did not find your post.  Perhaps if I had tried "Iris"!  Thanks for the correction.

One thing not yet mentioned is pupil management.  In portraits, wide pupils make people look vacant, so the modeling light brings that down and shows more of the iris colour.  From inside a ...

On the better late than never theory, yes, but only when the cable going into the WT-7 is loose / backed out a bit.  When it's in properly, never.

It's a great travel flash. Slightly more powerful than an SB-700 and quite compact. Also, it will work with the flash menus built into the most modern Nikon bodies. I never though of using ab ...
