Some of the older tech is not always compatible with new tech. For instance, my N90s body works great with AF D glass, but put a G lens on it and it only works in S & P modes. You can’t adjust the aperture in M or A modes.

The Nikon D500, I have read, is perhaps Nikon's best DSLR crop sensor video camera, shooting 4K video.
The D500 is a great stills camera. For video, there are vastly superior tools.

Probably a fairly basic question but whenever I take a shot that includes some sky it's always over exposed. The physics seem pretty simple, either the sky is exposed correctly (and the other stuff appears under exposed) or vice versa. I can't see how you can have a happy medium.
Am I missing something? Or do you correct in post?
Thanks

I leave all my printers on all the time HOWEVER, my Canon Pixma Pro 10 turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity.

ASA 400 Ektacrome color negative film.
Might want to process Ektachrome as color positive film (E6). Did the box say “ASA 400”? If so, what was the expiration date? You may need to tell the lab how old the film is before they process it.

All EVFs have this issue, and generally a fix. The Fuji X-T2 does the same thing, but you just have to turn off the WYSIWYG setting and you can do studio work. While I generally like my EVF, for studio work, IMHO, OVFs are the way to go.

Thanks for all the great ideas!! Some were on my list and some of them are new ones I am adding thanks to your suggestions. Should be a very productive trip !!
Agree with Myaka State Park - here are a couple of images I got there several years ago.

Yes it is a processed version of the photons that acme through the lens, but at least it is of the same photons that came through, not the inverted and reinverted reflection of them!
It is inverted and flipped, just with the software. There is nothing in lens design that has changed the image as it hits the film/sensor since view camera days. The image hits the film/sensor upside down and backwards. In the past we used mirrors and prisims to reverse that, with MILCs, we use software.

#4 - kinda. Are you getting the image capture because of the lens - yes. Are you viewing through the lens - try it with the camera turned off. It is a processed capture of an image that came through the lens.

IMO it depends how quickly mirrorless is adopted by the masses. Keep in mind that Nikon launched the 500PF (F-Mount Lens) the same day they launched the mirrorless cameras. While there's no doubt mirrorless will be the platform of the future, how quickly people adopt that future will ultimately decide how long Nikon will continue to make new F-mount glass. I doubt even Nikon knows for sure.
I completely agree. Having both a Nikon D500 & Fuji X-T2, I can see how the masses will flock to mirrorless. Getting great quality images has never been easier. Putting the histogram in the EVF with outstanding jpg film simulations that can be shared almost instantly on social media will drive mirrorless to the front. Both the D500 & X-T2 can produce high quality 13x19 prints (as big as my printer goes), but the X-T2 can get there with less work, largely because of the WYSIWYG EVF.

Yup. And my Fuji 18-55 f/2.8-4.0 & 55-200 f/3.5-4.8 are way lighter than my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 & 80-200 f/2.8. Trying to explain why the fixed 2.8 results in larger, heavier glass regardless of body format is usually a waste of breath. Thrn trying to explain how smaller sensors need even larger apertures (smaller numerically) to get the same DOF, and what that means to lens size, well, I would rather spend the time shooting.

Well I am a professional photographer and have been since the first slr's came out.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you mean 35mm SLRs, that puts you at +/- 100 years old with a pro career of at least 81 years as the first 35mm SLR hit the market in 1937. Did you jump on the SLR train from their inception or for you have a preferred legacy technology that you hung onto! What was the reason you adopted SLRs when you did? Can you regale us with accounts of the early SLRs, their strength and issues? Inquiring minds want to know.

It does seem, at least, highly processed. The dirt is the color of cement.
