I asked about a new camera (FF) to go with my D710... (show quote)
If you think like that you'll never buy a new camera as there is always something coming out to replace it.

Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive stable tripod for my Sony RX10IV?
No such thing, the words inexpensive and stable don't mix when talking about tripods. For reasonably priced decent spec. tripods take a look at the Manfroto range.

There is actually a market for empty original boxes on sites like E-bay. Call me an old cynic but if someone was planning an insurance fraud these boxes could be very useful to use as proof of purchase, especially as they include the serial no. of the camera or lens they once contained.

I see IQ used frequently. Aside from "intelligence quotient", what does it stand for? Also, is there a site that lists all the acronyms used. (Nikon) Thanks all.
NAFA, or not another f***ing acronym! Don't you just hate them?

The 28-300 is a DX lens. Put it on an FX camera like the D810 and the camera automatically goes into a DX crop mode.
Untrue, the 28-300 is an FX lens.

I have to find it but I have the ads for the Olympus Pen when it was introduced. Olympus called it the "35mm single frame". The didn't call it half frame.
In the U.K. they called it half frame.

The term full frame pre-dates digital photography. It was applied to 35mm. film cameras after the introduction of half frame cameras which also used 35mm. film, but the negative size was 24mm. x 18mm. Olympus manufactured some very compact cameras that used this format.

A perfect example of fine art photography, tasteful and not at all offensive.

Back in the day, the f stops you mention used to be known as continental f stops. At least they did in the U.K.

No-one has a good photo of a U.F.O. for the same reason no-one has a good photo of the Loch Ness monster, they don't exist!

I saw my first photo of a UFO in the 1950's when I was a youngster. Now I'm 67 and still see fuzzy photos of UFOs. Wouldn't you think after all these improvements in cameras that someone, somewhere, could get a decent photo of a UFO?
Maybe UFOs are fuzzy and all those shots over the years were in focus. I doubt it, but all this UFO stuff sure makes me wonder.

The sole of my shoe works very well for me, i.e., press lens tightly against sole or heel of shoe, twist anti-clockwise, hey presto, filter loosens. Obviously this works best with smooth(ish) soles.

Hi, I know that not all flights require checking your camera gear as luggage. But with flights now coming in to the USA from some Afircan/ ME countries - which I go to for shoots, I worry about my gear. I also worry that this is going to expand with all the crazy things happening in the world? What do you think?
Absolutely not!!

The D7200 is not better than the D500. It's the other way around.[/quote]

BJT, Paul Simon pronounces it NIkon, as in "NYYCON" in his song Kodachrome.
Why would you think Paul Simon would know the correct pronunciation? He's American!
