#87774 FX

Posted by La Bikina on Yesterday, 07:58 PM in Nikon FX DSLRs

You know I have the Nikon D5, great camera I paid, 1700Euro about $1850, I bought boxed with all must include, and gift 3 XQD cards and the Sony XQD reader and two EN-EL18a original batteries one new as extras. (It comes with 200k shots and near mint appearance).

I don't regret about buy it. ;)

 

Here is the post I created when I bought it.

#87770 That was the week that was, minichallenge for March

Pete: Nice original work, I like urbex too ! ;)

 

Brian: 90mm F1.5 Mitakon so nice lens....impressive !

I hear about Mitakon Speedmaster 85 mm f1,2 for Nikon F mount, but not the 90mm f1,5 version; Maybe it's only aviable for Z mount.

Great photos with extra difficulty of manual focus lens shooting to moving subject. :o

#87760 Help: Auto Focus Not Working!

Posted by La Bikina on Yesterday, 12:58 PM in Beginner Questions

Thank you for your response.  Pushing the AF-L/AE-L button did not work.  Still get the whirring.  Unfortunately, I don't have another lens to try.  Between the lens and the camera, my guess is that the lens would not be working.  (The body is relatively new.)

 

But I have a follow-up question: Does the D750 have an internal autofocus motor such that, in theory, it *should* autofocus any "Nikkor AF" lens?

Yes, the Nikon D750 have the engine. All AF old lenses will work, if the lens it's not damaged or the D750 engine.




#87757 Help: Auto Focus Not Working!

Posted by La Bikina on Yesterday, 12:24 PM in Beginner Questions

Press the AF-L button rear your camera D750, if you still hear the whirring sound, maybe the lens is damaged, but if happen to you with other different lenses of the same kind AF-Nikkor or AF-D old lenses with screw, maybe it's the engine of your camera.

Posted by La Bikina on Yesterday, 11:58 AM in Mini-Challenges, Member Contests, and Games

During this weekend I will upload & post mine essay, finally the nasty clime ...rain... wind... in Barcelona change my mind about the theme and lens to be used.

But don't worry, will be one bizarre lens and rare to be used and definitely not a standard choice for photographers. :P

And the theme is complete different of PeterS choice. ;)

 

No spoilers ! :lol:

#87751 D3 problem during firmware update

Posted by La Bikina on 27 March 2024 - 05:30 PM in Technical Troubleshooting

Ok, tell us how your adventure ends.

But if it happens to an authorized Nikon Service Center, they need to repair it at free cost.(In theory)

 

D3 is a full frame camera, and you will not regret buying it, I own my self a D3 too.

Totally different to D2 Series.

 

Check this topic I created about my experience with my D3.

#87748 D3 problem during firmware update

Posted by La Bikina on 27 March 2024 - 02:20 PM in Technical Troubleshooting

No way to restore by the user, need technical assistance.

 

Important :


The camera may be damaged if power is interrupted or camera controls are operated during the update. Do not turn the camera off, remove or disconnect the power source, or operate camera controls during the update. If the update is not completed successfully and the camera becomes inoperable, take the camera to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.


In my opinion because of this risk, it's a not safe operation for one old camera without warranty to be updated if it's working even if the changes report something signification, always read the add-ons of the firmware update, sometimes the updates only affect to few lenses that if you don't had, it's useless and only risky.

 

The only upgrade I do, it was Nikon D2x to the last version firmware version, the changes were important as the camera becomes virtually a Nikon D2xs.

 

The rest I ignore the updates for my cameras after the warranty expired, remember Microsoft Windows motto if works not touch it.


Always remember, If you are not confident that you can perform the update successfully, the update can be performed by a Nikon service representative.

They take the responsibility in case of malfunction. Sometimes the free is expensive when you do it yourself as your own risk.

#87705 D5100 Motherboard Battery

Posted by La Bikina on 23 March 2024 - 07:21 PM in Technical Troubleshooting

 

Nikon D5xxx series have a capacitor or internal battery that keeps the clock and settings active while the battery is being changed. If the camera is left with a dead battery for a very long time, the capacitor or battery may become fully discharged and dysfunctional.

I think it's in the camera motherboard, not easy access, sorry. :(

 

My cameras from flagship series have very easy access to this battery that it's in the grip area it's a CR1616 I changed few of them, located close to the camera main battery with a plastic cover.

 

Nobody knows why Nikon NOT create this kind of easy access in all camera models that use battery clock. Even rechargeable batteries die, so if you don't use the camera with regularity, and you don't use it during months or years, this happens sooner than late.

This shit start to happen when that camera doesn't have battery or the main battery it's 0% for long time inside the camera.

 

Note : I know it is disturbing entering the date every time you're ON again the camera, but only affect to this, when you enter it will still remember again until you're OFF the camera again. The camera will work as usual.

#87697 old lenses on DSLRs

Posted by La Bikina on 23 March 2024 - 11:50 AM in Nikon DX DSLRs

The first thing I do when I get a new body id add my non-cpu lenses, I just went through all my bodies and re added the data only one lens changed Phoenix 24.. f2.8 rest all continue to do it on all bodies

Every time you put a NON-CPU lens in your camera body, you need to put the correct values in the menu and save the data with DONE.

IF no, will use the last values you added.

The camera never knows what you put if it is a NON-CPU lens, because just no data communication with your lens.

Nikon D4
ƒ/3.5  correct beacuse have the same F-Stops as my fisheye
16.0 mm  :excl:  not correct.  The real was 20mm, I used the last config of my fisheye by error.
1/640
100 iso

 

Note : The focal length data is incorrect, not 16mm it's 20mm.
I was shooting first with fish eye 16mm, and I don't change the non-cpu config and don't notice because both f/3.5.
Sorry :blush:

 

 

I used :

Nikon Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 UD AI adapted with original Nikon's Kit
https://www.kenrockw...20mm-f35-ud.htm

Sepia process with Nikon D4, I try to emulate antique postcard effect, with the shadows and clears.

 

 

After this error....
First, I always double-check that I have the correct non-cpu configuration when I start to shoot.

#87687 old lenses on DSLRs

Posted by La Bikina on 22 March 2024 - 06:52 PM in Nikon DX DSLRs

We're talking about MF lenses used in manual, and I have to say you're wrong, I've tested 6 lenses on 5 different DSLRs and they all shoe one stop smaller aperture at each end my 1.4 reads 2.0, 1.8 reads 2.0 2.0 reads 2.8, 2.8 reads 3.5, etc, 0n the other end f16 reads f22, f22 reads f32 etc

First please check, do this, maybe after you do it ... problem-solved. :

 

Check setup camera menu, configure well " NON-CPU lens data"

Put the correct maximum aperture and focal length and close the menu with done to save the changes.

 

I use several manual lenses, and I need to configure it a lot of times when I change it to another different one lens, if I forgot to do it ...the EXIF info would be wrong with wrong F-Stop numbers info in the camera screen display, same like happened to you.

 

But only affect to the EXIF numbers, and the screen info but lens still working

when you set the correct data will display the correct numbers.

#87665 old lenses on DSLRs

Posted by La Bikina on 21 March 2024 - 11:37 AM in Nikon DX DSLRs

Brian, I have only a simple Nikon F3, mine it's used and have cute golden patina. ;)

 

The Nikon F3AF it's cute and have special lenses for it. (one excuse to buy them)

I prefer it better than F4 for sure.

 

Now the F3AF, it's more expensive and harder to find than F4 and F5 cameras.

 

But I suppose I will finally surrender and buy one F4s, the prices are very nice lately, less than $300 with MB-21.

If I see one for sale in my city and can test, it would be my perdition :lol:

 

But 80% of my lenses are manual focus, this always delay the acquisition. :rolleyes:


I have no problem using the lenses, I just wondered why the discreoency


I hate this forem, cannot downloiad pics

F-Stop don't changes due to sensor size, for sure believe me.
