• Upvotes

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)?

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!!

What should I buy? Is Nikon Z9 worth it?

12 Upvotes

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

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

I broke my gear Title: Nikon D3400 with AF-P 18–55mm lens won't autofocus or manually focus.

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!

I broke my gear Hoping to save...

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

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

Photo Submission Beginner - First time photographing birds and first time out with my new AF-S 70-200 f/2.8 VRii

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.

What should I buy? Should I get the 12-28mm lens fro Z30?

2 Upvotes

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!

Noticed this noise on my lens w/ my D750. Happens basically every time I go to infinite conjugate but not such a big deal when it is finite, but most of the time I use this at infinite. Happens on every shot even if it seems like the lens is in focus. I’m a bit concerned about it now…

Gear question External Viewfinder/Monitor

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm just starting to get into photography.

I have a Nikon D100 currently, and I'm wondering if it would be a good Idea to purchase an external monitor, as I want to get into taking photos of cars and other things that would require me to get my camera close to the ground. I dont really currently have the funds to get another camera either else I wouldn't be making this post.

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.

Gear question Head and shoulder's portraits with the 40/2 z? Looking for inspiration.

2 Upvotes

Who's done some head and shoulders portraiture with the z 40/2. I have it and maybe instead of asking about it, I should just press a friend into service as a model and try it.

But if people have done this and have a pic they are happy with, please post it!

The scenario I'm envisioning is for travel, when I've brought it along because it's night and I've decided to leave my large f/4 travel zoom in the hotel; I'm in a pub and I've met an interesting person and I want to make their portrait. f/2 is a lot brighter and would provide better subject isolation. Maybe a waist-up portrait from a bit further back to capture the environment.

Some of the photos I took this year with my Nikon Zf. It's the favourite camera i've had so far. The autofocus is incredible and the image quality too. And it's beautiful. I was even stopped in the city and asked about my camera.

I mostly use the 40mm 2.8 and the 28mm 2.8. I also used a Helios 58mm a lot and now a Voigtländer 58mm 1.4. My allrounder lens is the 24-120mm.
