I am totally frustrated with trying to get Nikon lens repair parts! After checking with several 'parts' stores, they all came up with the same answer after they told me they were out of the part I'm looking for, that Nikon stopped them from selling any repair parts. Stilll can get Canon parts, and if I wasn't so deep into Nikon, Canon would be looking so much better in my eyes.
I guess it's all about money! The part I need is the 18-200 front filter ring. My beautiful Vizsla gave a tug on her leash, and down went my D7000, lens first, onto the asphalt. The only damage was to the part I need. Anyone have a lead for this part? It listed for $18.55 at a center in California, but there are none to be had at that store or any others that I checked with. None on ebay either.
Thanks

Just curious. What kind of camera strap were you using? Just want to know what to avoid.

Very first 35mm camera. It was the Kodak Pony 135. I bought it when I was 13 years old with MY OWN MONEY and I remember thinking that I was hot stuff with a camera like that. It had f/stops and shutter speeds . . . WOW!!!
Do you have a picture of the camera?

Is the spot showing up on your photos? Did you check to see if your sensor is dirty? Just mentioning to check as an option. There is plenty information here on the site or just ask if you have questions on that?

At Cape May Point you can get both great Sunsets and Sunrises
You beat me to the refurb option. It is a great place to start.

I have in years past lived thru the nightmare of having to reload the whole works... but doing that life is not the same. The settings, the little side programs, the giveaway programs... poof all gone.
Backups are somewhat inconvenient... add remove store an additional hard drive. So now I use a front door approach for my hard drives. Two $20 SATA trays with doors can change the character of your Computer from XP to W7 in seconds. Backup drives can be inserted and start and next morning the backup fairy does the work. Pull the drive out and store in a antistatic bag in your sock drawer.

"Sock drawer"!!!
I knew there must be a secret element to backups!

Can anyone recommend good photo shot areas in Cape May. I'll be spending a long weekend there and would like to get some interesting shots. Thanks in advance.
Obviously, if you shoot wildlife, the lighthouse area is a must. Cape may is the center of one of the most significant migratory paths in the world. They have a great platform for shooting over the marshes. Hawk migration starts soon, so it sort of depends on when you are going.
The Cape May Bird Observatory has a blog covering recent sightings.

The topic of backups shows up frequently here. Usually it starts with a question from someone who did not backup or is trying to set up a system. In the replies, often things like the following are said: It isnt if a drive will fail, but when!; you could loose all of your work if you don not backup! or You must backup locally and off-site!!
I thought it might be interesting to hear the stories of people who have backed up and then were happy they did. It would be helpful to know:
What caused the loss the backup restored?
From what source were the files restored (Cloud, attached external drive, networked drive, DVDs, CDs, DVRs, offsite hard drive in a safe deposit box, etc
)?
How was the restoration experience?
Did the experience change your workflow?
Anything else?

Thanks for the correction. I mistyped. I was showing the image posted on Wikipedia for Angkor Wat. When I went to type "wikipedia" I instead (from a habit formed after thousands searches) wrote "google"
