A final farewell

Just wanted to say goodbye to all my friends on the forum. I'll leave all my information on my profile for those whom care and would like to keep track, but only for a week. I'm tired of the "FAKE" on this site, it's obvious he's not the one taking those photograph's. Also, tired of being attacked on here so. Just so the looser know's he hasn't won, KARMA is following close behind him.
To my friends - I wish you luck.
To the Fake - Karma always wins in the end.
Well Sir, I'm new here so I don't know anything about you but I'm still sorry to see you go. I think every forum has it's problem posters and I for one have learned to ignore the negative and never take the derogatory to heart. Good luck to you Sir, Ring

Nikon has a new flagship flash ... Nikon has announced the SB-910, the flagship flashgun in its Speedlight range. Replacing the SB-900, the 910 gains the simpler graphic user interface (GUI) of the less powerful SB-700. Its more advanced thermal protection system slows the flash recycle time, rather than it simply shutting down to prevent overheating. It comes with hard filters for matching fluorescent and tungsten lighting and automatically switches the camera's white balance to match the filter. Similarly it adjusts the available zoom steps to suit the body (FX or DX) that it's attached to. The SB910 will be available from mid-December, priced around $549.95.

Where's the challenge in that! It just keeps getting harder and harder to take a bad picture! Still I'd like to have one... Just can't quite swallow the price. :wink: Guess that's why I'm still using my Sunpak 522. :) or should that be 8-)

I want one! And I obviously need to convert my Nikon D90.
Don't forget to ask for the film conversion for the bifurcated marselvane tabs located on the ambihelical hex nut. That reverse-threaded hex nut is always a real bear to get loose, since all attempts to loosen it merely tighten it down further on the sprocket shaft bearing.

Leaking Batteries

All I know is that Duracell was the STANDARD for a couple of decades. Never had a single leaker in all that time. Suddenly Chinese writing shows up on the sides of the batteries, and I have three leakers in two years. That is either piss-poor quality control or their standards went right into the toilet. I wish I knew what the answer was. If the Energizer or some other make suddenly opened a plant in the USA and started guaranteeing their batteries against leakage, I would throw out every Duracell that I own and re-stock all with that brand.

Could be the modern chemistry or maybe the larger size that enhances the chance of leakage. Alkaline AA's don't advertize the amps but I know they have increased over the last few years. The slightly larger diameter and maybe even a thinner side wall allows more inside. I returned Kodak AA's because the fit was so tight that I feared they would get stuck and I wouldn't be able to remove them. I tried calling Kodak but it was a waste of time, very poor customer service.

I'm looking at the Vivitar DF-383. Any comments, suggestions?

I use flash infrequently but want a better one than the one on my Nikon D40x
I' recommend the Nikon SB400. It will balance well on the D40.


But the SB400 doesn't have bounce flash, right?
It Does has bounce but no swivel.

shooting a mixed racial couple

I have a friend who is black and her husband is white. Some of the photos I have done of them are only ok. But most are really bad. (as I stated when first joining this forum, my goal is to learn to do portraits) Most of the time he looks so washed out. Then if I adjust the lighting for him, she then comes out too dark.
Any advice?

Leaking Batteries

This outsourcing isn't anything new, it's been going on for years. It's just a bit more prevalent now. Most US manufactures have outsourced their parts supplies for years. Very few make their own. It's not entirely "big business's" fault either. Their employees, especially the ones in labor unions, have driven up the costs of doing business to the point of driving production overseas. The blame can also be put on the consumers who want the best product at the lowest price. Government has contributed as well with ever increasing tax burdens. So you can't fault any one particular segment of the chain as they all share culpability.

I find it ironic that Duracell is advertizing on this very thread. And in all likelihood, a Duracell was the culprit. They have been awesome batteries for over 20 years. Suddenly, I have had three leakers (AA & AAA) in less than two years. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Chinese writing that has suddenly appeared on the sides of the batteries. If I can find any Alkalines made here in the USA, they'll have my business in a heartbeat.
Battery companies just like most big companies use outside sources to manufacturer their products. Did you know that Chevrolet hasn't made a Corvette Door in over 20 years. An outside contractor has been making them. Try to purchase a new door for a used Corvette .... You Can't ....Gm went belly up and screwed the contractor that was producing them so he stopped producing older doors. A fact is Sears uses a number of outside sources to supply their Diehard batteries. They're not as reliable as in the past, what a surprise, I wonder why. It's big business in America that's at fault. Make the darn things here in the states ..... nah they won't because they make more money due to the cheap labor overseas.

One of the AA batteries leaked in my Nikon SB-800 and it will not work, is there anyway to clean the contacts? Anyone have any experience in this area? I feel sick over this.
Both Duracell and Eveready Battery co will pay you for the flash if it's destroyed from a leaky battery. You will need to contact them to file a claim.

Once you can swab out the acid you can use a small piece of fine emery cloth attached to a small screwdriver to help clean the contacts. But just like the other poster mentioned, you may want to do this while the flash is upright and you'll work from the bottom so ant debris can fall out.

Good luck with this

WD40 is a contact cleaner and works just as good or better than a dedicated electrical contact cleaner.
