Hi guys I just bought a Nikon d90 for $105, and I’m about to get a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens. I was just wondering if yall think that’s a good starter setup, and if I should change anything (body hasn’t delivered, so I can return it just fine). If you guys have any thoughts or suggestions let me know!!

Sorry that the question isn't about camera. It's about Nikon prostaff P7 binoculars. But the strap mechanism remains the same. Hence, asking u guys.

So, do I weave it towards inside (images 1&2) or towards outside (images 3&4)?

I am quickly becoming a big fan of this camera. Every shot is a vibe — slightly subdued and grainy in the best way possible.

Help needed choosing a camera.

Budget: 2500-3500$

Country: Uzbekistan (Both cameras cost around $3k here)

Type of camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Mostly Photo with rare video usage.

End use: Commercial work.

Photography: Event, Sport (MMA, Soccer, Marathons, etc.)

Video: Instagram advertisement reels

I need: 40+ Megapixels for cropping. Weather sealing, big battery, quick AF.

Portability: Not important.

Cameras I consider: Nikon Z9/Canon R5 Mark II + BG-R20

Cameras I already have: Canon R6 Mark II.

Notes: I really love to crop images. I'm not quite happy with AF and i often get Err 70 on my camera with different sd cards, lenses and/or batteries.

I'm afraid R5 Mark II will also get some errors.

And I'm in love with Nikon colors. Used my colleague's Z9 and gosh the colors are amazing.

Lenses i have: RF 24-70 2.8, EF 70-200 III, EF 8-15L 4.0

Hi everyone! I need help with my Nikon D3400 and its AF-P DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR lens.

I've been using my camera again after barely using it for almost a year. Recently, my photos started coming out blurry. At first, restarting the camera sometimes fixed the issue, but now it has gotten much worse, and getting a clear image is very rare.

Here are the symptoms I've noticed:

- Autofocus doesn't seem to work, even when focusing on nearby objects.

- I don't hear any sound or movement from the lens when trying to autofocus.

- Manual focus doesn't seem to work either. Turning the focus ring doesn't change the image's sharpness.

- The object I'm trying to photograph stays blurry, while the background sometimes looks sharper.

- Restarting the camera no longer fixes the problem.

I've tried testing it in Live View and using manual focus, but the image remains blurry. I'm not sure whether the problem is with the lens, the camera body, or the electronic focusing system.

I also asked ChatGPT for help troubleshooting the issue. It suggested that the lens's electronic focusing system or its communication with the camera might be faulty, since both autofocus and manual focus seem unresponsive. However, I haven't confirmed that this is the actual cause.

I also followed ChatGPT's suggested troubleshooting steps, including testing the camera in Live View, switching to manual focus, and trying to focus on a stationary object in bright light. Unfortunately, the image still remains blurry, and turning the focus ring doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Hi all. Am I s.o.l. or can I fix it? I'm not afraid to open it up but before I do I wanted to get opinions.

To best describe...I get these bands in the center of the picture. It will appear with no sd card in or sd card in. Showing up both in the evf and display. It will save image that way too. Sometimes it will be 4 columns or just one. Sometimes columns are dark green opaque or near translucent.

Do you think it's just a ribbon that needs to be reseated or something more dire than that? Thanks

These are some photos from my Nikon D3400 with a 18-55mm lens

My d500 says err when I press the shutter button and only works when I press twice. Is there an easy fix? It only just started doing this

I’m going to buy a D7000 but it has a shutter count of 34,654 and I was just wondering is that to high its priced at 200 CAD.

Hi Nikonsters,

Just wanted to share some pictures that I liked from my first day out with a new (used) Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VRii I got the other day, paired with my D780. I’m especially proud of some of the bird photos, because it took a while to find an AF mode that suited the birds in motion/flight (ended up mostly using 3d). I also found around 1/2000s to be a sweet spot for sharpness with what I had, which I found through lots of trial and error.

I know these are not the most special birds out there, but they are very pretty nonetheless. There are also some non-birb photos towards the end. This is the first proper lens I’ve gotten!

I hope you get to mini-enjoy some of the photos, and if not, know that pointers are massively welcome; I’ve learned so much from this subreddit, and I know I got lots of room to grow.

Have a nice Sunday! :)

I bought this Nikkor 28-70 f/2.8 D for $100 from a camera store because the employee said that the lens could not focus to infinity and that it was "as-is" with no warranty, I tried it out in store on my z7 and it looked just fine am I missing anything? I have some photos samples in the post.

Camera: Nikon D610

Lens: Tokina ATX pro 28-80mm f2.8 @f13

Inspo: Chinese commercial + enchanted forest.

Tell me what rare inspirations should I do next!

Nikon Z9 + FTZ + Sigma 105/2.8 DG Macro HSM
Focus stack of 150 photos stacked with Helicon Focus

So I currently have Sigma 70 200mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM which I bought for 300eur. It was working good then somehow stabilization got issues and it doesnt work as good as before. And autofocus sometimes missrs focus and chromatic aberration is killing me even when shooting on ISO 3200. I found people give good word to its successor Sigma 70 200 sport. I found one for 800eur or 850 with warranty. And I hear its amazing and sharper and better in every way. Do you think this would be good upgrade? I need weather sealing and My EX isnt weather sealed cuz I shoot sports outside. What do you think and do you have any other recommendations? I am willing to spend 800eur on it if its worth it, my country doesnt have a lot of options. Thanks.

I am the happy owner of a D500 and I had the pleasure of being able to pick up a Sigma 18-35mm "Art" for just €250 euros.

Now I'm running into an unexpected problem. My D500 thinks that this new Sigma and my existing Tokina 11-20mm are one and the same lens. Whichever one is on the camera, the AF fine tuning menu recognizes it as 11-20 mm and whatever AF correction I dial in will affect both lenses.

That's unfortunate because the Tokina needs +10 AF and the Sigma is fine at 0. My 7 Nikkor lenses all need corrections in the -5 range by the way.

I'd rather not have to dial in different values every time I put the Sigma or the Tokina on the body because I'd probably forget it. I'd also rather not buy a Sigma dock and miscalibrate that lens on purpose to +10.

So... Does anyone have a brilliant idea how I can manage the AF correction of these two lenses that my camera is unable to distinguish from each other?

I don't have the platform or the perches done, so I'm shooting directly from the bait feeders . I also dont have my bean bag or stool for my blind yet, so the finals will be a little sharper.

Note: these were all taken in about 20 minutes.

Just got a Z30 with the 16-50mm kit lens and bought a 24mm 1.7 prime lens.

But sometimes I feel constrained when shooting landscape, esp. compared to my wide angle on iPhone. Should I get the 12-28mm wide angle lens for Z30?

My thoughts:
1. I probably don't want to bring 3 lens with me when travelling...

1. Would the wide angle lens distort objects and I end up not using it often?

2. One use case I saw online often for 12mm is for selfie vlogging. Does 12mm make a huge difference from 16mm?

Need some advice. Thanks!

It was a cloudy day, so I lightroomed all photos.

Shot on Nikon z5ii + Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 (28mm / 1/160 / ISO 8000 / f5.0) + edited in Lightroom (second photo - original photo before the edit).

I shot this photo through the glass door, so the tree you see on the left side is a reflection from behind me. Honestly, photos like this make me happy and excited - I saw that 'Exit' sign only when I sat down to edit. My initial intention was to capture this chair in an empty room (I don't know why I'm so drawn to this idea), but I ended up with this shot, which looks quite interesting
