Which Camera…

I am a beginner but looking for a camera to last me at the very least 2ish years as I improve and learn. My main goal is to use the camera more photographing hobbies such as skiing, equestrian events, and possibly skate boarding which all have pretty fast movements. My current options I’m considering are below!

Nikon DSLR 3100- bought new around 2014 and is lightly used with no known issues. The owner has let it sit for long periods of time. - $275

Nikon D60- owner does not have a lot of information as the camera is her parent’s and they have barely used it. - $360

Nikon D50-Owner has had no issues with this camera. They have the original box with all parts and pieces. -$499

Nikon D3300- I have not heard back from the owner but just wanted to throw it in as an option incase I am able to consider it. -$300

Nikon D750 Full Frame DSLR- used as a backup camera for studio shoots. - $550

Also open to recommendations!

Thank you!

Does anyone have an MTF chart somewhere of the AI-S 105mm f2.5?

I am looking for an MTF chart to give me some values for resolving power of this lens.

I am pretty sure that it's resolving power will be better than my Tamron 70-300mm macro (from 2006 or so) but just wanted to make sure that's the case. I am planning to do some astrophotography around the new year and deciding on which lens to bring with me. I have looked all over the internet with no luck at finding any sort of information on the resolving power of this AI-S lens.

Please help!

Need some advice, i want to upgrade my camera

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using a Nikon D3200 with two lenses (18-55mm and 18-140mm) and I’m looking to upgrade my camera. I really enjoy the user interface on the D3200 – it’s intuitive, easy to handle, and the built-in instructions have been super helpful. I also love the cool after-effects features it has.

I’d like to stick with something that allows me to keep using my current lenses, so preferably a Nikon DSLR (unless there’s a mirrorless option with an adapter that’s worth it).

What would you guys recomand?

My wife is going to buy me a Zf

I regularly rent the Zf, I have been renting camera gear for more than a decade on an as needed basis, but the Zf is the only one where she said "we need to get that one again." So this morning she asks me what model the camera is, and whether the price was reasonable. I told her that the sale price, right now, represents an excellent value.

I texted her that we can totally sell the z30 and D7000 and some random lenses to make up the cost. She responds by saying we are keeping the z30 because she likes it. She doesn't realize that I have an emotional attachment to the 7000, plus it isn't worth sh!t anymore anyway.

After 554k images, its time for an upgrade

Thought it was a good time to semi-retire the D850. Any tips for a new mirrorless owner?

Image shows in viewfinder and on LCD, but picture turns out completely black

I have a D3500 and recently came into a used Telephoto 80-200mm Lens. Everything attaches fine, the image is clear in the viewfinder and on the LCD screen, but when I take a shot the image is completely black. Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you!

SD Card for a d810

Im looking at getting a bigger and faster card for shooting sports with my d810 and I wanted to know if a UHS 3 SD card would work ok with my camera. I don’t know much about SD cards and I wanted to confirm that what I was getting will work. If anyone has any recommendations for SD cards that would be really much appreciated. Im looking at getting a 64GB card

Viewfinder out of focus, even after adjusting the diopter

I've had a Nikon D3300 for about 9 years, but just today I noticed that the viewfinder is no longer in focus. I tried adjusting the diopter, and it's the most in-focus when it's turned all the way counter-clockwise, but it's still very blurry (but the pics it takes are still in-focus, so it just seems to be an issue with the viewfinder).

Is there an easy fix for this? Is there a way to possibly recalibrate the viewfinder? Because it seems like the best focus is out of the range of the diopter.

Not sure what might've happened to trigger this all of a sudden.

Getting rid of the musty smell from the rubber

Just nabbed a used D300 and it's in excellent condition but the rubber fixtures have a musty smell to them.

Anyone suggest the best way to remove the smell?

Teleconverters

One of my lenses that I’d like to get a TC for is the 70-200 2.8 FL ED but I’m only seeing them where the front element protrudes. Does anyone know if there’s an appropriate converter? Thx.

Nikon Z8 Lenses for Antarctica (Landscape + Wildlife)

Decided on purchasing a Z8 for my upcoming trip to Antarctica. Which lens or two should I purchase for wide-angle landscape and wildlife? Wondering if there is one lens that will be versatile enough for both to avoid constantly switching, or if it's worth bringing/investing in two. Thank you!

Anyone shoot with a 500mm f5.6 pf and a 500mm f4e? D850 body.

I'm about to buy one or the other tomorrow. I had a 200-500mm and f4g and felt they didn't give me that sharpness I was looking for compared other wildlife photographers. I could use topaz sharpening but hated doing that each time. I also want to use TC'ers with it knowing I will lose some sharpness with them. Only thing holding me back on the f4e is the price though Nikon has dropped them a lot. I miss wildlife photography and want to get back into it asap. Thanks for any advice. I spent hours and hours googling and it still has me on the fence.
