I have an opportunity to purchase used at a nice price... I am wondering what your opinion on this. I hear its heavy. I will be using on my Benro CLT 2 series Indigo carbon fiber tripod with my CanonR5 and 100-500.
I also like the flex shooter ball head. Hope to hear from some of the ladies! But big thanks to everyone..

You can't buy a better ballhead!

In my experience, I would NEVER get nor ever use an Apple product based on this experience alone. Yeah, the display is great but at what cost, having to keep two copies of everything, one for Windows and another for Apple.
I agree! Seems like most of the computer problems mentioned on this site are MAC related. Every time apple does an upgrade nothing works.

This is just a curiosity question. From watching Shark Tank I've seen that there is usually a very big difference between a manufacturer's cost and a retailer's selling price. At least that has to be the case in order to get offers from the sharks. Does anyone know what the total markup is for DSLR and Mirrorless cameras?
What’s the difference? Anything anyone buys has a markup! Even at steep discounts, most items are still higher priced than MSRP.

In my opinion, NEO is a RAW editor, and its HDR extension is good.
AURORA (an HDR program) is no longer supported by skylum.
If you buy NEO be prepared to be showered with ton of skylum offers. Buy ONLY what you need.

Yes Skylum's money grab is a bottomless pit.

As far as I'm concerned, Skylum is a money company, not software company. I get at least two emails from them every day. I should have added up all their pricing. I'm sure it would be over $2,000. I'll stick with their basic program.
Most of what I see online is demonstrating their Extensions, so online demos are pretty much useless for me.

I agree! I have been suckered in to buying all their ugrades over the years. The software is iffy at best. Photoshop, Lighroom, Capture one, ON1, ACDSee, Corel etc. are all much better choices. I have them all and Skylum is at the bottom of the list.

Received this new lens yesterday direct from TT Artisans. Tried it on Fuji X-Pro 1 and XT20. No matter what combination of configurations just cannot get this lens to autofocus. Won't even focus manually. And yes have tried switching front dial to manual focus and enabling the camera to focus without lens via the menu. Has anyone any suggestions or have a purchased a dud lens? It is brand new.
The first logical thing to do is CONTACT TTARTISANS!!

It is certainly a beautiful camera.
Using EXIF data (someone recommended uploading a picture to get the exact number - didn't know you could do that), the number of shutter actuations is 63.

I would think the actuations (63) would be of the camera taking the pictures. Not the picture of the Fuji camera.

I can certainly see why they call it the “Windy City”!

Amen! Used one of those puppies on a company supplied F2 waaay back in my newspapwer days. Focused as perfectly as you could, any photo enlarged over 5x7 was noticeably soft.
That is exactly what is wrong with the lens. I bought it thinking it had a good working focal range. Couldn't get it to focus at any of them.

In excellent working condition. Wear to finish(brassing to bottom corners). Lens clean and scratch free. No fungus or haze. Will be listing more Nikon items. Cleaning out closet. PayPal accepted. IM me. Free shipping in CONUS.
If I didn't already have an F3HP I'd make an offer. On the flip side, the Nikkor 43-86mm f/3.5 is perhaps the worse lens Nikon has ever made. Sorry.

Installed yesterday. Both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop load faster than before. Liking it.

That is totally inexcusable. I wait no longer than 15 minutes for any doctor. Drs. and clinics are fighting for business just like other businesses.

What are your thoughts on the five day photography bundle deal that they run once a year for $98
It's a real deal, if you use it. I got "suckered" in a couple of years ago. For me, I didn't get 2 cents use out of it. Entirely my fault!
