you will probably have the 24-70 on your D810 over 95% of the time.
But it is good exercise since you miss your gym hours during your vacation.
Thanks folks, it is good to know there are cameras that can do focus bracketing.
But D850 is out of my reach; if I save a dollar a day, it would be out-of-date by that time.
Today, I tried again using my manual 135mm prime lens and the frame didn't seems to shift.
So it is better off to use prime lens per multiple focus bracketing.
I wonder if the D850's focus bracketing feature can merge the sharp portions automatically?
Or is there any software that can do that?

Well, well, well. I've read about the built in focus bracketing feature in the new D850 and thought that was a great feature I wished I had as I enjoy some close up work. Lo and behold I read the web page cited in this thread about Olympus having such a system. I recently bought a Olympus PEN F and have been gradually working my way through the extensive menu options but had yet to come across this feature. I had seen the bracketing tab but assumed it was for exposure only. So I got a big pleasant surprise this AM. I read through the article, followed the steps outlined and there it was buried in the PEN's menu tabs. Wahoo. I'm going to give it a whirl soon. This is what I appreciate about this site. I get to learn something useful with some regularity. Thanks for the info.

Today I tried to shoot with my Nikon610 24-80mm zoom on a tripod, with multiple focus (distance and close) so I can pan them together in PP.
However, when I rotated the focus ring manually making sure no touching the zoom mechanism, the frame shifted a little bit.
Is this normal?
How can I avoid this to happen?
Does any camera have focus bracketing feature?
SHOT,
so she would know when you got a good Shot.
Yes, I have a Zomei(I spent $50-60 Ebay) which seems sturdy enough with all metal construction and a ball head and can be separately used as a mono-pod.
But I always opt for the Ravelli because of its lighter weight(2.8 vs 3.8lbs) and fast leg release.
The Ravelli has two popular model, a flimsy 50" and a heavy 70", mine is a 60" which suits my height
If like you said, the weight of my lens+bag hanging onto the center bottom hook of the tripod will not stabilize the camera, then with or without the weight means the same to the camera's stabilization.
It would be hard for me to imagine the truefulness your comment; it definitely stabilizes my camera against the wind when taking selfies.
Perhaps the more expensive ones do not need weights to hold it down for stabilization. People are probably pleased by your comment so as to justify the money well spent on their expensive tripods
By the simple law of physics, the added weight lowers the center of gravity and increases the mass of the whole set up which will hold more firmly to the ground.
I would challenge my setup against any expensive tripods, to see which camera will get blown off first.
I have Vivitar batteries and they last pretty decently probably over 200 shoots on a single day.
I always carry a second one if I remember, the same way I remember to charge my OEM battery day before a big photo session.

Camera manufacturers got wise to competition and they programmed ways for the camera to stop when someone else’s batteries are used. Manufacturers of non-OEM batteries programmed ways to work around or circumvent any built-in restrictions the manufacturers installed. And so the back and forth battle goes. I have used non-OEM batteries in the past, but I will not do so again. After giving the issue considerable thought, it occurs to me that the non-OEM manufacturers are stealing legitimate profits that belong to the camera manufacturers. You don’t like the cost of the batteries, buy a different camera. But you say all the manufacturers are over-charging? Take up knitting instead. How is this crime different than piracy of motion pictures or other art?

So I guess you probably do your car maintenance by the dealer using OEM air/oil filters.
The same strategy is being used by Apple products which require using its own memory cards, and everybody knows how expensive they are.
I can't say if you are right or wrong, but I always like more choices; I bought new Vivitar battery for $20(two batteries with charger) instead of $40 for a single OEM battery.

I just put yet another camera on lay-a-way.
This will be my third in less than a year. Granted they are used and from the pawn shop, but still...
Help?! LOL (not really, but it sounds good.)
One of these days, our collections might show up in a real estate sales as $50 per bag including camera, lens and the bag.
They will be collector's items, as film/polaroid cameras

What programs that you use offer the 'save' option if you just open it? Usually they offer the 'save as' command, and if you don't at least change the name it tells you the file already exists.

I regularly use Faststone to view my pictures.
If I keep on viewing picture after picture, no change.
If I use the File-save as, then the ending file increases about 10Kb for my 3-5Mb jpgs.
Should there be any degrading, I can't tell.
