hey friends. is there any flashpoint users out there. im thinking of purchasing the explorer 600. but i have a PCBuff 47 inc octobox that i want to use on it.
can some one tell me what adapter ring would i need to make these two fit together? the flashpoint is a bowens mount.
thanks for the responses friends..much appreciated..i called nikon and got an estimated $250.00 for repairs and software updates. i love the d600 and it has a new shutter so it would be cheaper than buying another even used. i also have a d7000 which is an awesome body that i can use while the d600 is being repaired. thanks for the options. i think i can narrow it down as to what i want to do..
thanks...sounds like a good idea.
i live in lexington, n.c. 1 hour from greensboro, one hour from charlotte, 2 hours from raleigh.
you are correct..its the shutter that was replaced. i have the paper work from it thanks..so im looking for repair center in the north carolina area.
I have a d600 that i purchased on ebay from an individual that just wanted to get rid of it because he was moving to a mirrorless camera. The seller had the shutter replaced for what ever reason and now it has an upgraded sensor, the same one that is in the d610. Its not working properly for and is in need of repair. Is there any camera stores in the north carolina area that will repair this body for me even though i did not buy it from an authorized dealer? And if so what is the turn around for repairs? thanks..
I do not own lightroom 5 but i do own lightroom 4. I have a nikon d600 but it will not tether with lightroom 4. you have to have to have lightroom 5 or better to tether the d600. The video i mentioned shows how you can download the free version of lightroom 5 and then copy and paste the needed files to lightroom 4 so it will tether newer cameras. Otherwise i will have to purchase lightroom 5 or 6 which i was trying to avoid until i really need it. Thanks for your response
I saw a u-tube video on how to copy the tether capture file from lightroom 5 and paste it in lightroom 4 . That made lightroom 4 able to tether capture on the nikon d600 that i own as well as others. It cannot tether the d600 without those files. The video demonstrated the transfer on a mac pc...i tried it on my windows pc but couldnt get it to work. Has anyone tried this on a windows pc? Is there a link out there to go to to try this? I wanted to upgrade to lightroom5 but just because it will tether with my d600. If I can get this to work I will not have to purchase lightroom 5...any thoughts photo friends.
i went out and tried a few of the suggestions from you friends. higher shutter speed, mirror lockup, tripod. i even did a few handheld shots in manual mode with auto-iso on. there is a big difference in my shots..everyone of them was in focus exept one and thats because i was to close to the subject. one of these days i hope to not need any help but until then much is appreciated from you photo friends. much of the problem if not all is just human error....so far..
i only have a nd filter..just got it only used it a couple of times to test it out..but dont keep it on the lens.
thats good information for me. i noticed too that i was getting some blur even using a tripod with the timer.. i dont have a very sturdy tripod... thanks for the help.
i live about an hour from charlotte which is not a bad drive. i might look up the camera stores mentioned...thanks again all..
Im still learning these things. Doing it all on my own.. Trial and error.
thanks for all of the replies.. seems as if its just me..even though the lens have optical stabilization i still get a little blur
at slow shutter speeds around 100 or just below..i need to learn more how to hold it steady to prevent that..thanks guys, you are most helpful..
i have a nikon d600 paired with a sigma 70-200 2.8 with OS. it seems that i cant get a sharp shot most of the time. i did the lens calibration ( or lens fine tune ) at different stops to see where i get the sharpest image.some are still blurry. any ideas on how to work on this or visit acamera store to get it adjusted.. i live in the north
carolina are so whats camera store is close by ...thanks
