In my world of central Florida here is how they rank for us (We live in the country & get lots of deliveries, so this is real info).

Best to worst: No. 1 (tie) USPS & UPS, always good, no issues.
No. 2 Amazon Always good now, sometimes to wrong house early on, but very good now, almost into No. 1 group.
No. 3 FEDEX (I used to call them "FEDUP" but they have improved).
No. 4 LazerShip OK now but horrible early on.
Separate category:
No. 5 Various private local or trucking companies - seem to do well (local deliveries) and trucking outfits seem to be very good with larger items like wheel/tires/large TV/furniture/etc.

To be fair: House is set back, wooded driveway (100 ft. in) gate with security (driveway) monitor, Video when coming thru gate into yard. Signs (two places showing address, mailbox and next to driveway entrance), beware of dog (nowdays it's a 3.75 LB Chihuahua indoors - LOL) and signs for No Trespassing & Warning/Video Surveilance/monitored on the gate (always closed but not locked).

USPS & UPS, always on time, always delivered to my house and not somewhere else, rarely any damaged packages, I know I can count on them both.
Amazon does a fine job, missed or wrong address very rare now, I can count on them.
FEDEX, has improved a lot in the last year, I used to dread them prior, but not so bad anymore.
LazerShip has also improved, almost all packages were trouble early on.

I echo these remarks "billnikon" is spot on with his vision of EBAY....it is part of "due diligence" to fully understand a commerce platform, and utilize the capabilities and "safeties" built into said system. Several scam attempts on me (out of hundreds of transactions) have resulted in money back without issue....several have even retracted the cost and told me to keep the item to avoid the Ebay Police. I lost $35 on a scam early in my Ebay days and although not much money the idea of being scammed told me to educate myself to all of Ebay's capabilities. EBAY is safe, just due a little homework, read all the policies and USE DUE DILIGENCE!!!!! It is not difficult nor scary.

I also use this lens with D71/7200 series (often).....no complaints at all.

We (in Florida) can tell you all about wind.....boy can we tell you about wind!!!!!!

If you can't find one (like the AF Micro Nikkor mentioned) reasonable the extension tubes suggestion is spot on, I've even used them as a booster for bird photography, within the limitations of of the zoom's focal length range. No "degradation" and full AF, just closer..... (edit) I meant to say AF Auto Extension tubes, which is what I use, way better than the simple metal extension tubes, although a bit more money.

I have the 1 V1 (and a J1) and use it with a full auto adapter and my AF-P lenses - the 70-300 AF-P VR becomes a 189-810 monster that I can shoot one handed and delivers very fine photos, and attached to a 150/170 to 500/600 MM tele works very well (but you still end up with a tiny camera on a huge lens. No, the resolution is not quite up to what my D7100/7200 series offer, but that does not stop me from making wonderful still life bird photos and other subjects as well. It is not a BIF tracking machine. It and the J1 (one of my snapshot cams) get much the same amount of use as my Sony Nex 6 and A6000 (two more jems in my view).

There is a whole lot more to wonderful photos than "latest greatest/super resolution/high dollar bodies" that everyone seems to think will make them better photographers - NOT - Knowledge/technique can turn average specifications into superb photos, just takes a tad more effort.

The weak link for many of these little wonders is the auto-extension/retraction zoom lenses, they (the lenses) suffer from connection and wire break issues way down inside where repair/parts is non-exsistent. Used with the Nikon 1 full auto adapter this becomes a non-issue. The little lenses are convenient, but if lost it is not a deal breaker, as there are a number of Nikon (and other) lenses that will work wonders....and you are using the sharpest part of those lenses to fill a smaller sensor but get 2.7X crop factor, I like and use mine often.

To each their own: Both styles of photography require extra effort and due dilligence to produce the finest of results (I'm not talking "snapshots") - for SOOC the real work is on the front end and requires extensive knowledge in application of the camera settings (and what they will yield) and the proper attachments/setup to achieve the prized shot - with RAW/PP it is much the same, with the knowledge base enlarged to include the backend workflow to achieve the prize (raw to finished product). I have never shot underwater (have shot thru glass bottomed boats) and do know you have to get past the surface water reflections to see the beauty, same for camera. Both styles have their place in photography, and both can make the shooter happy. It has never earned "argument status" for me, as I use either method when I want...... I will say (my opinion) that RAW/PP allows greater latitude with the ability to tailor the outcome.
Cheers

Wonderful set, great job!!

Cool series, enjoyed it!!!

Nice one! Maybe frame below the lines "pano" style.......

I'm with you Thomas902, and what Chg_Canon said.....it is just an excellent camera all around, really hard to beat as DSLR's go.

We do something similar, our feeders and a feeding/blind area are under a cedar tree, with a wire fence (the green coated wire fence) that eleiminates easy access from the sides....it is a wonderful area for the birds, and relatively safe from the hawks, as they can't safely dive into the feeding area. We also have a cat (Katiedid) that grew up with the squirrels/thinks it's a squirrel, doesn't go after birds, but flat out is the best rat/mouser we have ever had, she handles them.... PS....the feeding area is a superb photo blind!!!!

I always do "adult signature" required with any USPS shipments (anything over $100), a D7200 camera I sold to a UHH member prior to Christmas, delivery was held up for a day or two until my purchaser could be there for delivery....it worked well, as it has in the past. I highly recommend the "adult signature" requirement.

I see MPB selling two RX100 originals for $200/239, I'd imagine they only offer less than $100 for any "buys", cause that's how it works. You can get a good idea of $$ range from Ebay...but you have to read the individual conditions of each sale to make any sense of what you see, and you will see every condition, from pristine to outright junk.
