    Z6 - Is there a way to switch off Lens VR and force a Body VR?

    Hi guys, I currently have a lens with faulty VR mechanism. I have to switch it off (on the lens) to use the lens without the lens creating all kinds of noise. However, when I mount it on the Z6, the body takes it that VR is switched off and operates without VR. The VR on/off in the camera...

    Is this your first FX cam? The viewfinder image is bigger on a FX than DX, so you may not be used to it.

    How to develop your own B&W photos

    It used to be you join a photography club and you can rent their darkroom at a norminal cost. I was with SAFRA Photography Club some years back and they had a darkroom. I'm sure the Photographic Society of Singapore (PSS) has a darkroom you can rent if you join them as member.

    [Rumor] Possible Nikon Monochorme Camera some day ?

    Interesting, no doubt, but like a previous poster mentioned, it will be a very niche market, possibly technical/scientific use, or street photography. Using the traditional colour filters for landscape photography is going to be quite impractical by today's standard.

    Pearl Harbour is a lovely movie. Kate Beckinsale was lovely! But a bit long to watch too many times. Potential new movie for a 3-timer is Gravity. Short, exciting, and visually stunning.

    FYI, Ansel Adams used 8x10, 4x5, 6cmx6cm (Hasselblad), and surprise, surprise, 24mmx36mm(Contax) formats, at various periods of his life, for his work. His recommendation to his students was always to take the biggest camera you can carry and to always use a lens hood.

    Love the Truman Show too. Jim Carey was at his peak at this time! But this movie makes you think about life, when sometimes it is like a show.

    So glad this thread is still active. Just watched two gangster movies back to back: "Gangster Squad" and "Lawless". The latter is certainly a deaper movie with believable characters and very good acting by Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce. Great 1920's vintage cars on display too! Gangster squad is...

    Sounds very similar to those arguments in the audio world between analog and digital recording, CD's and LP's. Some people are dead sworn to their vinyl LPs! :D

    Official Announcement of Nikon Df

    Oh, interesting. My experience has been quite the opposite, that MOST, not ALL, of the older lenses don't perform as well as the new ones, on the D700. Perhaps I'm a pixel peeper, or have not used the right lenses. I'll test them again.:)

    Official Announcement of Nikon Df

    Yes I have! I (still) have the F2 photomic, F2 (plane prism, no meter), Nikkormat FTn, FM2, F601m, etc. But I honestly doubt if ANY of those old Nikkor lenses (AI, pre-AI) will stand up to the scrutiny of a modern digital sensor. I kind of expected what you said earlier to be true, ie, that...

    Official Announcement of Nikon Df

    Exactly! My main gripes are: no manual focusing screen and the high price. I would love to be able to focus manually on the split image and microprism screen, because that will be the main draw for my nostalgia, even if it doesn't look like an FE or FM or F2. Here you have the Df having the...
