Anyon have the Tamron 90mm macro lens auto focus fail? I was trying to use mine last week and the AF did not work. It took me two days to locate the reciept. The 6 year warrenty expires 6/22/2023. I have never had a product fail before the end of the warrenty peroid. I feel pretty luckey. I really like this lens. It is such a sharp lens. Just receive an email that the AF will be repaired and USD will be replaced plus cleaning and recalibration. Anyone know what the "USD" is?

Lots of great UHH advice as usual. Since I have two card slots, I shoot RAW and JPEG. I am not very good with LR and Photoshop. There is such a large learning curve with these aspects of photography. I just keep moving forward.
I have called my incredible wildlife/landscape photographer friend. He has invited me to one of the locks on Old Hickory Lake this evening to help me out.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone. I shoot over 1/500 hand held, usually higher. Manual and auto ISO. I almost always use a tripod because I do not trust my technique. I have even tried live view to get as good of focus as I can. I have an acquaintance/friend that is an incredible wildlife photographer. I wondered if it was OK to ask him to try my setup for his opinion. I had stage 4 cancer in 2016 and realized it was now or never to try DSLR photography. I have had a point and shoot for years. I took photo classes in my local photo club. I am 71 so don't shoot hand held with the big lens much. I guess next I message my friend.

I have a Nikon d750 purchased in 2016 and a Nikon 200-500 f5 lens purchased last year. I had Peachtree Camera calibrate the lens to the camera last year and my photos are still soft. I also have not done a software update. I have asked my photo club for anyone to help with no response. Should I now send both to Nikon repair? Does anyone know the Nikon charge for work? Thanks .

Hi. I would like to find a ten stop ND filter to use with my Nikon 750 and a 77 mm lens. I know there are other similar lenses and I may end up with one but this is worth a try to me. Thanks!
This had good reviews. I haven't used it much yet.
Sorry wrong filter.

Thanks. I see there is no upside.

More than that. I think you divide pixel count by 2.5.
Steve Perry has an excellent YouTube video explaining this.

Thank you. Info. i am looking for.
The plus is I get the longer view with the wider aperature instead of losing a full stop of light.

Nothing about the crop factor makes a lens longer. Worse, when you use the DX crop on your D750, you come away with a 10MP image, see page 118 of your D750 manual.
Although the DX mode on a Nikon full-frame will give you the equivalent field of view of a longer lens, if you want a full 24MP image, you need to use an actual DX-sensor body, not crop smaller image from a full-frame sensor.

Take the identical scene with each format using the same lens - compare, believe your eyes.
Good idea Quixdraw.
Here are three photos with my Nikon d750 and Nikkor 200-500mm lens set at 5.6 and 500mm. Fx, Dx 1.2 and Dx 1.5. I guess I have an Fx and Dx camera body. Who knew?

While searching information on my Nikon d750 feature on changing the image area from Fx to Dx, one article, on line said the Dx setting would extend a lens by 1.5 like a Dx camera. It doesn't make sense to me. It just gives a smaller image area, like cropping an image. It would be nice if it made my 500 mm lens a 750mm lens without a 1.5x teleconverter. I cannot find this in the manual so I am not buying it. If it sound too good to be true, it is. I need knowledgeable UHHers to spill the truth. Thanks everyone.

You can reprogram the fn button for something like camera level or whatever.
Yes infact, I reprogrammed it to virtual horizon. Thanks.

Yeah, I don't care for post work, mostly can't be bothered with RAW - so for me it is a "just in case I see something entirely out of the ordinary" button I can use on the fly. Certainly there are lots of other things you could program the Fn for that would prevent the inadvertent format change.
I am totally inept at Lightroom. That is why I only play. I am going to see what my reprogram options are and change the Fn button. Thanks.
