I don't think my spouse understands that I need one tripod for with a gimbal for my big lens, one tripod for my macro rail, and one with my skytracker all by the door. I also don't think they will understand that I still need another tripod with a simple ball mount just for all other needs. What should I do?


If you already had three spouses, would you “need” a fourth?

In advanced mirrorless, I thing the two choices are Sony or Fuji. I think the Fuji has it for customer service and build quality, but Sony has more glass available (but not necessarily better glass). The other idea is to wait to see what Nikon puts out in mirrorless. But O don't think you would regret getting the Fuji xt-20. I have the xt-2 and the 20 is about 85% identical. The lenses are beautiful, sharp and mechanically very smooth operating. The jpegs are gorgeous right from the camera, and all the controls are on the body and operation requires a minimum of menu diving.

I echo Cat’s comments rega ding customer service: Fuji will send out a firmware update; Nikon will release a new model. FWIW: I am a lifetime Nikon user, gradually switching. In addition to weight, there is a size issue. Yes size matters! Especially when traveling.

Ladies and Gents,
I have a small collection of 2 and 3 stop Lee, Hoya and Hi Tech ND filters - all graduated. When I tried some long exposures there was a strong magenta tint which, I have learned is most likely from the filters. Since I want to get into long exposures for interesting applications as well as the more common uses, I thought I would bite the bullet and get 3, 6 and 10 stop solid filters that are not at the low end and that will not have any color cast. I know that there are a number of manufacturers and I will have to price compare. One question is whether I should get screw on filters or use a filter holder with square or rectangular plates. I will need a filter thread of 77mm and have the step down (up?) filter rings. Before I spend a bunch is there any advice to help me spend wisely?
Thank you,
Photodoc16

I have some Lee ND filters and have not noticed a color cast. Could be stray light not entering through the filter as previously noted.

What I meant was how you thought a thousand plus dollars for a tripod was a bargain.


Depends on how many “affordable” ones have already been discarded.

Same conundrum with me regarding the price. Love to have that 80mm but just cannot justify the price. I compromised and use the 60mm + the MCEX-16. Not quite 1:1. Here’s a SOOC Fuji jpeg.

ND filters are useless in the city.


Not when you have a specific look in mind. An uninformed opinion.

I have a Nikon D7200. I have it set to clean sensor at shutdown. When I turn the camera off, nothing displays in the monitor.
How do I know if it is actually cleaning the sensor?


Stop down and take a photo of an isolated part of the sky (all blue) or a sheet of paper. Zoom in and scan the image. If you see no spots, it’s clean. If there are spots, you may need to clean it manually, or pay to have it done.

I have quite a few birding books, both ID manuals, location guides, and photography related books, maybe six of these several specific to where I live.
Wild Flowers of the Columbia River Gorge (Jolley)—nothing else compares

For spiders & insects: “The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders”

I also use a spider guide that has the eye patterns for efficiently narrowing the options down. Printed it off the net....not sure where I first saw it.

I can't find the post. It must be back several pages.
It’s not so much that I need a definitive answer. I just know what it is not: a brown recluse.

OP would have had a definitive answer within minutes in the macro forum. Mark S knows his stuff.
