I have a d610 purchased refurb from Adorama. Its a great camera because its FX and yet smaller and lighter than the big Pro models. Despite all the writing about weak AF stuff in the dark, Ive never had this issue nor do I really shoot in the dark, not sure who does. Definitely never showed up with indoor photography. Keep in mind the AF system sensitivity is partially determined by the max F-stop of the lens, so a F1.4 lens gives the AF system 3 stops more range than a F/4 lens.
Biggest advantage of the FX cameras over Dx might be the ability to use old or new MF lenses if you can handle MF.
I think there is a challenge with the narrower depth of field of FX vs DX given the same field of view (35 vs 50mm for example). It makes focusing less error tolerant.
7200 is probably great. Decision depends on the lenses owned or planned.

Meant to say Nec Multisync PA series, not P series. I think Dell has some IPS monitors too.

An IPS display is generally better for photo work, colors and dynamic range are much better. NEC P series are nice, I have one and its kind of eye opening moving from a cheap office monitor.

How do you have a 1HP 25amp motor? 1HP should draw no more than about 6-8 amps. What do you even plug that into?

My 2 cents on tables saws, they were invented with and to cut sheet goods. Sheet goods dont jam or kickback. Bandsaw are for cutting wood. Accept that fact and you'll keep all your body parts a lot longer. In recent years I rough size my wood with a bandsaw and just use a table saw sometimes to take off the last 1/8" if needed, no risk of kickback.

I'm a woodworker and have a Jet table saw with what they claim is a 1.5HP. Modern 1HP motor is not the same as old 1HP. If you're getting a modern 1HP motor, you'll be fine cutting plywoods and wood up to about 3/4". Make sure to use thin-kerf blades, 1/8" blades are too thick for this. If the motor can be wired for 220V, it will be much more powerful, assuming you have the wiring at home. My Jet wired for 220V vs. 110 feels like it gains 2x power.

Nice lens. I will predict that someone will end up owning a nice lens. If I were much younger and did not have all these health issues, I would consider it.


It really is an amazing piece of machinery. Its my first and only Zeiss. I just can't justify owning it given how little I use it.

Been there in 2013 with a subset of my stuff. If you're staying on a boat and doing day trips, which is typical, you don't want too much weight or anything "precious". A telephoto around 200mm would be very nice, but I would also say take a macro lens because most of the animals let you get up close with no fear. I have some awesome crab and iguana images, they sit perfectly still even few inches away. Your wide angle shots will probably come out great with a smartphone because of all the light.
It's generally very bright there, no need for any super-fast lenses.
I also had a Nikon underwater camera which was generally disappointing. Image quality sucks, I only shot a few videos.

Lens is in perfect condition, mechanically, optically and cosmetically.
Comes with original box, quality certificate, front and rear lens caps.
Originally purchased from Japan.

Note, this is the non-CPU version, not the ZF-2, so aperture is set with the ring on the lens, not the dial on the camera. Camera still recognizes the set aperture if your camera has "non-CPU lens" capability.
