You would find all you need to know by going to google and type in "cf-b cards".
You obviously have not been reading much on here if you have to ask these questions.
Plus a good look through your camera manual would help you a lot.
If you don't have a manual then download one.
And in future you would get help a lot quicker (other than by doing this basic research first yourself) by mentioning first time round what camera make and model you have.
Arrgh why do I bother ?


He DID say a D800; Only made by NIKON, eh ?????

I hate spending money for nothing, so I am going to run this question by all you knowledgeable people.

Currently I have an HP 27" FHD (1920x1080) monitor which I have used for 4 years to edit my photos
and have been satisfied with the performance. I was wondering if I upgraded to a 27" QHD ( 2560 x 1440)
monitor there would be an appreciable difference to justify the cost. A 34" monitor would be nice but not at
close to $1000.



You can get a 32" 2X for about half of that price.

After quite a bit of research, I ended up with the Lee filter system. It has performed very well for me. The Lee filter holder holds a square glass filter that you can slide and rotate. You buy adapters for the filter holder to the filter sizes of the various lenses you want to use it with. I have an assortment of adapters, gradient filters and some uniform filters like the "Big Stopper" which is a 10 stop nd filter.


You can do exactly the same, using the Cokin filers.

I currently use a Nikon ED AF 80-200mm 1:2.8 (1988 made in Japan) with a Nikon D610 & D750.It was initally used on my Nikon F4 which is now resting in the old photography box.
Im thinking of replaceing it with a TAMRON - 70-200MM F/2.I LD , which I think will have a faster focus response.
The question is , am I trading a better focus for less quality glass, or is the galss the same. The one thing I do know is the Nikon is very heavy wih out a tripod mount.
Any thoughts?


I have both of these; give me the Nikon for IQ, but the Tamron for price. The Tamron gets a little "hazy" at the long end. could recomend the Tamron for a student or anyone just starting out, but not for image quality.

FYI. I have an SB-900 I no longer use as I only do Landscape photography. it is in good condition. I'll sell it for $125 + S&H (estimate $25). PM me if you are interested.

Be sure to check compatibility with your D5300 first.


It is compatible with almost ALL of the Nikon DSLR's, yours included. $125 is a "steal"; grab it before someone else gets it first.

Recently I made a HUGE error: I got an email message to update my operating system on my Mac to Big Sur. I installed it. Little did I know that I was making my CS6 Photoshop program and others non-functioning. Adobe of course wants everyone to pay a monthly subscription fee to have Photoshop and I am now looking into other options. So far the one I am gravitating to is Gimp. It is similar to Photoshop but no fee. I'm wondering if any of you UHH members have switched over to Gimp and if you have, how do you like it? I've been using Photoshop my whole photographic time and didn't want to have to learn a whole new program. I have downloaded Affinity Photo for the free 90 day trial period but it's not really very user friendly. Thanks for your advice in advance.

I used GIMP about a decade ago. I switched to Photoshop because it was more capable. There is a difference in the user interface that takes some time to get used to.

I was reluctant to go with the subscription model when Adobe started it but eventually realized that it was cheaper for me than paying for updates as I had been doing.

Any hobby incurs costs. Photography is no exception. $10/month is a low cost part of the hobby for me. Costs less than monthly impulse purchases and provides me with more lasting value than the impulse purchases.

I don't know if there is a dedicated controller for the SB 800. I recently Purchased a good used SB800 from a friend. I noted that it can also be a controller so I plan to just get another SB800 and see how that works.


There is the su-800, which is Nikon's "master" controller for three channels. There are also non-OEM equivalents (much less expensive). try Amazon, B&H and/or Adorama, or, look at KEH, usedphotopro (Roberts) and/or MPB for used items.

If you did not add memory, I'd suggest starting there. 4gB is pretty much the starting point for Windows 10, before running much of anything else. And how full is your system disk? There may be other things going on, like driver incompatibilities, but I'd look at memory and disk space first.

I've been able to successfully update some surprisingly old machines, but there are no guarantees when machines get to be 8 or 9 years old.


It already has 16GB.

I have a 11 year old labtop that Microsoft said it was compatible with Win10 & offered to update a few years back. It was slower & gets slower with every update & finally said it can't be updated any further. If I had to guess, it takes about two minutes or more for the start-up. Logging on to the internet & moving between different websites is pretty slow also. Fortunate for me I had purchased a desktop pc just for photography which is what I use for everything now. Eventually when travel opens up, I'll most likely get a labtop or Ipad Pro for when I am not home.
Just a guess not knowing what you are using, time to upgrade. One fact about computers, software &, electronics, it's only a matter of time...

I am doing the same (rebuilding a desktop). It has a Ryzen CPU, 1TB SSD and a good graphics card (8GB). Hopefully, my son will finish it up, sometime in the next two weeks. Then I'll "be back in business".

You didn't say how it performs when is is up. Is that acceptable?
Search for the Startup App and open it. You can turn off or delay these apps.
9-10 minutes does seem like a lot but it is not as important as how it behaves when started. I would go through each program and how it performs and if it has an upgrade.
You can also start the task manager and see what is using the resources.


Once it's up and running, performance is about the same as with Win7.

For the slow start up: Open Task Manager, go to Start UP and disable all but the security and your screen calibration (no impact on programs). Reboot and observe the change. If it didn't change much get a new computer.


My "other, better 1/2" would definitely not go along with the idea of a new one.

How old is the PC and how much RAM? I new pc with Win 10 should run well. Perhaps too many start up apps running in back ground. Clean install or as replacement for win 7?


It is 12 years old with 16GB RAM. Just wondering why Win10 is so much slower than Win7.
