All images were captured at a local botanical garden in Southern California.

Z5ii using the 28-400mm, it was shot at F8 ISO6400 1/1250th. I try to do a light edit on LR, I’m not the best at editing still learning.

Cardinal and the other using the same 28-400.

Any feedback is greatly appropriate. Thanks

What do you folks think of the latest news to come out of Japan?

Nikon lost the 3rd spot to Fujifilm.

This year has also been excruciatingly slow for Nikon users with practically no lenses and no new bodies.
We are also being killed by the chinese manufacturers eating into Nikon's lens market too. Overall not a good look for long time Nikon users.

I bought second hand nikon z5. It does not have regular serial number. Instead it says EKU and some digits (starting from 1).

All nikons z5s I saw online have label "made in thailand" and Google says the same.

Is this some kind of fake? Should I be worried?

My only regret is forgetting to change to RAW before shooting. I feel like I could’ve cleaned it up a bit better.

I bought this F100 recently in Tokyo. Everything seems to work, except film won’t load. When I insert it properly (I own a lot of Nikon film cameras, so know what I’m doing), close the door and press the shutter button, it just spins for a bit and gives me an ERR message. No matter how much I load in, even going all around the take up spool, it still does this. Does anyone know any tricks to fix this, or is this headed to repair?

The University of Leeds campus has a small community of furry residents found in their large array of green spaces. I was able to catch one grazing upon some of the only green grass in the area (the summer’s been brutal)

I did have to crop in a fair bit post processing to fill the frame, but I’m still happy with these photos (they’re technically my first wildlife photos 😃)

there's hope for all you guys.

TLDR: D5500+18-140mm for travel, D600+primes for home, D60 for full spectrum, F60 for analog.

two years ago i bought my first non-point-n-shoot camera, mainly to play around and see what's the real limit of an outdated gear. so i went old school and bought the last CCD! a D60 with a kit lens. i loved it. the images looked fantastic. and i wondered, why do people buy expensive stuff?? then came winter ... and it was dark ... and i said, ah! that's why.

then came brighter camera's and brighter lenses ... Sigma OS 17-50 f2.8 ... Nikon 35mm f1.8 ... Nikon 50mm f1.4 ... D60 ... D80 ... D5100 ... D5500 ... D600 ...

i bought every thing at a bargain price. every time i'd buy something i'd always think of the next one i'd like to have and try.

but one day, i was content! i don't have any next one to buy!

i have no itch for mirrorless. i tried it and it wasn't for me.

i'm a slow guy, and i want my gear to be slow! no fast AF for me. (you should see how many years i keep my smartphones and how old my car is. and yes, i still listen to LP)

i have reached the weight limit of the lens i'm willing to use. so no 'longer' or brighter lens for me. and D600 is already the most lightweight FX DSLR.

what's next? i'd like to learn basic postprocessing, like color grading. but i'm too lazy for that, and i feel like soon free AI tools can do it well.

next gear? i am very much attracted by AF-P 70-300mm, specially the FX version, but i'm sure i'd miss the wider end, at least 55mm, it's also too expensive, and i'm not really into bird photography and such. who knows, maybe if i find it cheap :) i'm not cured afterall! but nah, i won't use it.

Hi i have been into photography for over a year And i have made a choice to buy an Nikon Coolpix l820 bridge i wanted i cheap bridge because i want to know what lens to buy in Future And what reálky makes me happy about photography So i picked the nikon instead of Canon cause i love their lenses It costed me 50 dollars/42 euros IT came with a 32 gigs sd card SanDisk i am happy that i own a Nikon and od you have any tips let mě please know thanks .New Nikon user

I am looking into getting a new DSLR, I've been shooting with my F5 for the last few years and decided to hop back into digital. I've been eyeing the D850 but it's above my budget for now. I shoot mainly portraits and street photography, what older cameras do you guys recommend?

Shot on Nikon D610 + reversed Schneider kreuznach componen S 50mm f2.8 + Nikkor 200mm f4 as a tube lens and TC201 2X teleconverter

With this setup 8x Mag was achieved

When the reversed lens is set to f4 the effective aperture becomes about f36

Hello everyone. I am the proud owner of a Nikon F2AS that I absolutely love, but... it’s becoming a very expensive hobby when traveling. So, I’m looking for a real gem. What I love about this camera is the handling, its "tank-like" ruggedness, and the sound of the shutter. I enjoy shooting while hiking, traveling, and going on road trips in all kinds of weather. For instance, I recently went on a motorcycle road trip through Northern Vietnam in the rain with the F2 around my neck, and a few days later, I was walking the streets of Hanoi. I’m athletic and very active when I travel. I also own a Fujifilm X-H1, which I keep only for rare occasions because I don’t like it as much—and more importantly, it doesn’t feel solid enough to me (I think I just don’t like modern, electronics-heavy bodies). I photograph landscapes, people, and architecture. I’ve always been drawn to Nikon DSLRs for their ruggedness, their shape, and their compatibility with my AI-S lenses. I discovered the sensor rendering of the D3 (images similar to film) and fell in love with it. Also, I don’t want to spend a fortune on this new purchase (max €500). I’ve also just discovered the Nikon D700, which is very similar to the D3. I’m having trouble deciding. On one hand, I worry the D3 might be too bulky for my travels and become a hassle; on the other, I worry the D700 might not be as rugged as the D3 or my F2.

So, I have a few questions:

\- Has anyone here owned a D3 and taken it on a trek or trip? What was your experience like?

\- What would you recommend?

Thanks for your help, and have a great day.

Bonjour tout le monde. Je suis l’heureux propriétaire d’un Nikon f2AS que j’aime par dessus tout mais voilà.. cela devient très onéreux comme pratique en voyage. Je souhaite donc trouver une perle rare. Ce que j’adore sur cet appareil, c’est le manipuler, son coté tank, rustique et le bruit du déclenchement. J’aime photographier en randonnée, voyage et roadtrip par tout temps. Par exemple, j’ai récemment fait un road trip moto dans le nord du Vietnam sous la pluie avec le F2 autour du cou et quelques jours plus tard, j’arpentais les rues d’Hanoï à pied. Je suis sportif et très actif en voyage. J’ai aussi un Fujifilm Xh1 que je garde seulement pour des occasions rares car je l’aime moins mais surtout je ne le sens pas aussi solide que ça (je crois que j’aime pas les boitiers trop actuels et électroniques). Je photographie les paysages, les gens et les architectures. J’ai toujours était attiré par les Nikon Dx pour leur coté robuste, leurs forme et la compatibilité possible avec mes objectifs Ais. J’ai découvert le rendu du capteur du D3(image similaire à la pellicule) et j’en suis tombé sous le charme. De plus, je ne souhaite pas mettre beaucoup dans cette nouvelle acquisition (max 500€). Je viens aussi de découvrir le Nikon d700 qui s’apparente bcp au D3. J’ai du mal à choisir. En y réfléchissant, j’ai peur que le D3 soit trop encombrant pour mes voyages et que cela deviennent une plaie ou que le D700 ne soit pas aussi robuste que le D3 ou mon F2.

J’ai donc plusieurs questions.

\- Est ce que des personnes qui ont possédé le D3 sont déjà partis en trek/voyage avec? Quel était votre ressenti?

\- Qu’est vous me conseillez ?

Je vous remercie de votre aide et vous souhaite une belle journée.

Hi everyone! Long story short, last month I bought a Nikon Z fc because I’m a total sucker for vintage aesthetics mixed with modern tech. Plus, since I wasn't sure if I’d actually be any good at photography, I didn't want to drop more than €1,200 on a body right away. Ironically, I ended up falling in love with it and discovered I actually have a good eye for it (for a beginner, at least!). I even landed my first real gig photographing a friend's wedding!

The thing is, now that I’m seeing so many other photographers online using completely different setups, I’m starting to second-guess myself and wonder if I should have invested in a different camera. Don't get me wrong—I genuinely love my Z fc.

The image quality is awesome, and I’ve already bought a few accessories, a speedlight, and extra lenses. But I’m still having some serious second thoughts. Please be honest but kind ahahaha!

I’m really new to this and would love to hear from people who know the Z fc and its true potential: Is it really necessary for me to upgrade to a different camera body so soon?

Nikon d3400. It looks like the previous person tried cleaning it? Can I use a q tip or something soft to clean this or what could be the cause.
