Too lazy to start a new thread..

Thank you, yes, I saw after your comment, it took me a while. That's a poorly designed user interface. Makes me mad since I have to listen to 8 hour discussion on where a button should go on a page and these folks at Nikon think to redesign their UI without what appears to be a whole lot of thought. OK, I'll have some cheese with my whine now.

Photobug

Amen. It use to be so easy to pick DSLR or Lenses. Thanks for all the suggestions. Got it.

I had the same issue....then found the scroll arrow....change for the sake of change....certainly not for my convenience.....

Kind of feeling stupid but when your rushed I certainly made this mistake of overlooking that scroll arrow button.

I think we all did when we first looked for lenses.

Lens rebates are up. I think I heard a 70-200/2.8 whispering to me .......

Snowleopard

I want a 135 DC..... no rebate.... oh well.

Msmoto

Do I hear symptoms of NAS?

Parke1953

Yes. I think we all have it. It just pops out at different times.

I was actually thinking about getting a 70-300 VR... but I'm glad there are no rebates on that lens, I probably would have bought one.

I like mine. Have no intention of getting rid of it, even though I just picked up a 70-200/2.8. Both will have their uses.

Interesting article about kids who can see well underwater. Neat trick!

I need an 810 owner to check out a possible problem with an 810. I grabbed mine tonight and when I got to the event the shutter will not budge from 1/350. It worked fine same time last week. Now it's possible someone else that shall be nameless tinkered a bit with it experimenting with video. I don't know. Problem for now is my owner's manual is 125 miles away. I've gone through the menus looking for something unusual. Unless someone has had this happen the next thing I know to try is to set the camera back to it's defaults and see it that works. Normally shooting at 1/320 and down to 1/250 it did a good job tonight in bad light. I still need to get back on track as in a couple of weeks I will need 1/1000. Just hoping it doesn't have to go in for any kind of repair at this point.

What are you doing to change the speed? Back thumb wheel? Have you tried the "i" menu?

FreezeAction

The back wheel as always. I'll look at the I menu. The wheel is all I've ever used as needed. Thanks for the prompt reply.

FreezeAction

I found the problem. As I suspect someone read somewhere about locking the shutter speed in the f7 menu. Now I can sleep.

Msmoto

Golly, I learn something everyday.....LOL

Parke1953

I also learned something and probably will forget again the f7 function.

Interview with Nikon...

Photobug

Moderator guidance. I use to know how to edit my tag line information and then when the update was done that disappeared. Then a few months ago the tag line inform game back. I just spent some time looking and can't find where to edit my equipment list. Need some guidance. Thanks.

Oh, nice job moderators.

spraynpray

I'm afraid the signature function went awol during an upgrade, and despite one or two brief/partial reappearances has stayed away. It may reappear after another update in the future. That's the best I can offer I'm afraid.

Photobug

spraynpray...I had that feeling that would be the case. At least I asked.

I spent 30 minutes last night watching D500 videos. Now that was not a smart thing to do. Don't want to start that discussion here, just making the comment.

Photobug

Check out the new RRS camera strap. Looks very interesting. Could this knock off Black Rapids as the "KING" of neck straps? I don't think so but it will take lots of business away from Black Rapids.

Flat Lens Made Of Titanium Dioxide Could Revolutionize Optical Technology

http://phys.org/news/2016-06-meta-lens-visible-spectrum-smaller-wavelength.html

Looks like some clever researchers have found a way to resolve nanoscale features separated by distances smaller than the wavelength of light. We all could have 800mm f/2 pancake lenses

heartyfisher

LOL pancake lenses for sure :-) but F2 800mm is still absolute minimum 400mm diameter !!

The advancements are fast! didn’t expect that it will be available so soon! Last I heard was they could do flat lense single wavelengths !! Still once the tech is available... OMG !!! so many amazing new stuff possible !!

Simple logical extensions like
1) 24-300mm FOV zoom lenses at the back of a mobile phone.
2) Google glasses type augmented reality.. (See "Denno Coil")

Other things easily implemented like multicolour sensor ie No more need for the Bayer Colour filters that looses 70-80% of the light energy !! the Bayer filter replaced by these NanoLenses resulting in a jump in High ISO by 1.5-2 stops. And resolution increase by 4 ! Yes, thats right, a 20mp sensor like that on the D500 just by switching the filters becomes an 80MP sensor that can go to 5Million ISO.

My mind is boggling !!
