I am planning to upgrade my D7500 to a full frame D850. Can anyone tell me if it is compatible with my current lenses? I have a Nikon 80-200 1:4-5.6 G ED, an 18-200 1:3-5.6 GII ED DX and a 20 MM 1:1.8 G ED. Thanks for any help you can give me!


Most responders are stuck on your one DX lens???. The D850 is an outstanding camera and you will never regret getting it. Your 2 FX lens are also very good lens and will work very well on the D850. And as stated the DX lens will work in different modes ether in DX mode or square. The camera has so many features that you will not be disappointed in getting it

I’ve never used any photo editing software. I have used Cokin filters extensively with film and just starting to use with my digital cameras.

My question : does photo editing software duplicate or replace what Cokin filters can do ?


In film I used just a solid PL filter but with Digital you need a CPL filter which you can get for holder

55 years ago I found this in the attic of the new living quarters my mom and dad bought. It appears to be from a high school. I was told then it was like a school ring for seniors, but this was put on the belt of the boys and worn around. I don't know if that is true or not.....So, has anybody ever seen one of these? Anybody Know what this is? Or how it was used? Is it worth anything? Any information would be appreciated. Jerry? Frank? Ha, I just saw the manufacturer name on the back, this might be a watch fob? how was it used?

This is definitely a watch fob! Besides having a large camera collection I have a large Pocket watch collection and have more than 50 watch fobs. A lot of them were giveaways from equipment companies like Catapiler and Loren cranes etc. Fobs as stated above were used to enable easy removal from your watch pocket and to aid in not dropping your watch.

I really like all your photos you posted. I left Sacramento in 1970 when I joined the Navy and after I Retired I stayed on the East Coast. (Love Connecticut). My last visit in 2015 my sister took my dad and me to old Sac. What a great job they did there, form the rundown section of Sacramento to this fabulous tourist section. We ate at (I think) the crab shack and sat on the back eating area overlooking the river and I took the same shots of the 16th St bridge and the surrounding buildings. The perspective looks almost exactly like the ones I took except for the river level. Thank you. PS. The Train Museum is wonderful.

I agree with Paul but even the low MP cameras were great. I have won many photo contest starting with my D70S 6MP and one hangs in my studio and still get compliments on it. I and have bought many other cameras, D3 12MP with over 580,000 clicks, D810 and now the D850 is my primary camera. I upgrade when I need to not because I just want to. I also have the D7200 that I bought for my 16 year old granddaughter, that I’m very impressed with it’s capabilities. (She lost interest quickly and the camera has less than 35 Clicks) Now saving it for my Grandson.

Sort of.
But that is the problem.
You need a score card to keep track of all the restrictions of the multiple versions, not just as simple as you state.
I believe since 1959 until the Z mount was introduced Nikon went through 9 different "Mounts". I say 9 mounts because Nikon fanboys kept saying Canon kept changing "Mounts" when they stuck with the same breech mount until the EF mount.


Where did you get your data from that Nikon had 9 different mounts I only know of the “F” and the “Z” mounts. Just curious.

I see some saying that the XQD is faster than the CFExpress. I find that is just the opposite my CFExpress is much faster than my XQD. My CFExpress read is 1700 MB/s and write is 1200 MB/s. Where my XQD card is read 440 MB/s and write is 400 MB/s. Never had an issue with my D850’s buffer slowing it down using the CFExpress

Hi. I'm Rick and a professional camera repair tech. I use both double sided tape and a special adhesive to re-glue the grip rubber on Nikon DSLR's. When possible, I purchase after-market grips with tape installed already from EBay. These are the best solution for most applications. However, I don't know if the card door rubber is available separately or not. It is usually sold with the door only and this would take some disassembly to replace. how do the rest of the grips look?


Just FYI My post above with the picture of the D810 card door rubber and the double back tape is from Nikon and are in stock I took that screenshot yesterday also Nikon is very fast to ship. They still have all the rubber with and without the double back tape installed.

The rubber started to peel off of the memory card door on my D810 so I just peel it off completely. No problems using the camera as is but, would like some suggestions on an adhesives to re-attach if anyone has done this before. Called & asked Nikon service & they suggest I send it in. = NADA.

Thanks for any replies.


Nikon USA in service repair parts you can still buy all the rubber fairly cheap. I bought all the rubber for mine a little while back. They even sell the pre cut double back tape below is a couple of screen shots I just took. Not worth doing any thing else except replacing them with Nikon parts

I just got the memo that Christmas is near and am scrambling to get some shopping out of the way. Is it appropriate to get a 4 year old a digital camera and if so any suggestions? Thanks.


There are a lot of cameras out there below is just one example. My grandson has been shooting with an old Nikon compact camera from before he turned 4. I bought his sister at 13 a Nikon 7200 but she took less than 20 shots before giving up still a little heavy for a lot of carrying and shooting. So Jamie soon will be using that one. He does take a few with my 850 and does well. Turns 5 in February and we will give him the 7200 then

A mid-telephoto (85mm to 135mm) is advisable.

The reason is simple: It prevents distortion (widening of a face). Longer lenses create a 'compression effect'.

As to distance, well, it depends on what type of portrait you are creating. A close-up means a short distance, a full length a longer one, so there is not 'best distance at play'.

Note that portrait prime lenses are made to be at their sharpest at a set aperture and set distance. Test your lens to learn what it is, or ask folks who have the lens.

Haven’t been out shooting for quite some time. In between the rain went out to my back yard. Only post processing was done in my IPad
