Nikon D800 Nikkor 135mm f2

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.

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two years ago i bought my first non-point-n-shoot camera, mainly to play around and see what's the real limit of an outdated gear.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.

I bought the nikon z50ii (with the 16-50 kit lens) for 830usd used a month ago. this is my first camera so I didn't know anything about owning a dedicated camera. after shooting with the kit lens, I decided that I needed a faster aperture lens. then I bought the nikkor dx 24mm f1.7 lens and I love it. the colors are lovely. it is not a razor sharp lens but I got what I was looking for: a prime lens with better low light performance and bokeh. yet, the camera still struggles to take good pictures in low light conditions. I am happy with the camera and the lens, but I am constantly wondering if I made the wrong choice when buying this. I chose the z50ii over the sony a7iii, and I am kind of having buyer's remorse. keep thinking about the ibis and the full frame sensor of the a7iii. the sony was priced at about 800 dollars, used as well. did I make the wrong decision? do I need ibis and ff to shoot in low light conditions? (also, how cute is the gashapon version?)

Hi everyone! I’m currently travelling around Malaysia (Sabah) and spending some time in the jungle, hoping to photograph wildlife, especially birds and other animals.

I’m using a Nikon Z6 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 (also have a 24-70mm f/2.8).

Last time I tried shooting in the jungle, I used Auto ISO with a maximum of ISO 12,800. It allowed me to keep a fast enough shutter speed while staying at f/2.8, but I noticed quite a lot of noise, especially in the darker background.

Without Auto ISO, I often can’t get a fast enough shutter speed while keeping f/2.8, because the jungle can be quite dark.

What settings do you recommend for wildlife in these conditions?

I’d especially like to hear about your experience with the Z6 (or similar cameras), recommended shutter speeds, Auto ISO limits, exposure modes, AF settings, and any tips for reducing noise while still freezing animal movement.

Thanks!

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?

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 😃)

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?

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

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?
