I have this Delkin "Power" 512GB CFExpress card which I don't use. It's in perfect condition. B&H price is $174.95, I'm asking $125 including free same day shipping. This is from the B&H website: "Combining industrial strength and reliability with enhanced performance, the 512GB POWER CFexpress Type B Memory Card from Delkin Devices features a storage capacity of 512GB and is designed for professional photographers, videographers, and high-end cinematic hosts. It is well-suited for raw and continuous-burst photography, as well as 8K, 6K, and 4K video at high bit rates and frame rates. Thanks to a PCIe 3.0 interface, you can achieve maximum read speeds up to 1780 MB/s, maximum write speeds of 1700 MB/s, and sustained write speeds of 805 MB/s." Thanks for looking and have a wonderful holiday season! Bp

I had one not long ago. I returned it to B&H due to very visible chromatic aberration. B&H replaced it, no questions asked and no problem. I think they may have knowledge regarding problems with this lens. Bp

This is a great lens. I use mine all the time and get vivid, sharp images. I highly recommend it, and the price is quite reasonable. Bp

Great shot of an anhinga in flight! Also known as a "Kentucky snake bird" due to its unique aquatic behavior, swimming with its body just below the surface of the water with its long, slender neck and thin head up high in the air, giving the appearance of a snake. When its feathers become waterlogged it flies up onto a tree branch and spreads its wings to dry in the sun. Very interesting and quite common in the canals of south Florida, where I formerly lived.

I'll take it. Please PM me with payment instructions. Thank you. Bp

This is a very interesting opinion thread. Most, if not all, responses are basically quite civil, an anomaly here on the 'Hog. I too am in the "want it, see it, buy it" camp, I always have been. I have a D850 and a D500 with battery grips, and 21 Nikkor lenses. I've been using Nikon since 1967 when I was stationed on Taiwan. I jumped ship many years ago to Canon for a very short while, maybe three months, because they had the first SLR with a pellix, not a flippy mirror. That was a disaster, apparently also for Canon as that camera was in production for only a very short time.

The D500 gets the most use, but without the grip, with my 18-140 DX, because I enjoy the lighter weight. I also make use of the 10fps speed. I shoot for my Veterans Club, for the HAGGs of Tucson (view their Facebook page), and for other "causes", all as a volunteer. Because I want to. It's not unusual for me to shoot more than 500 images at an event, and that's on each of the two cards.

Bottom line: "Want it, see it, buy it". It has nothing to do with need, only with personal satisfaction and enjoyment. That's why it's called a hobby, not a profession. Bp

I've been using the full four app suite from Topaz Labs for several months and I LOVE them! Each one is amazing, they all use artificial intelligence to accomplish their missions. Photo AI combines several functions in the other apps in the suite, making it the most useful for me, and it's quick and simple. Topaz publishes upgrades frequently, especially to Photo AI (almost weekly). An "upgrade available" notation appears in the upper right corner of my screen when using this app and I also get an email notification. Their customer service is excellent, usually responding to my submitted query within 24 hours. I highly recommend the entire AI suite by Topaz Labs. You can't go wrong. Bp BTW, I've been a confirmed pixel peeper since I started in photography more than 60 years ago. These are the greatest photo processing apps for us pixel peepers that I've ever seen.

I read that Tim Cook, the CEO at Apple, received a compensation package of $210,000,000 (that's MILLION) in 2021. And, being a loyal Apple user since 1986, I've personally experienced a massive deterioration in quality, especially regarding the iPhone. Cook has taken Apple from being the industry leader in quality and consumer-centric policy to being totally and completely profit oriented, damn the consumer. Steve Jobs is surely rolling over in his grave, Apple is no longer the company he dreamed of and established. Just my opinion and very disappointing. Bp

Not a problem. I hope I'll have such good control of my faculties as you do when I reach your age ... which won't be too long from now! Take care and stay positive! It'll all work out. Bp

Sorry to take so long. I just checked my records and the price I paid was $494. Bp

I may be wrong, but I think that 105 may have been the older "D" model. Bp

You're very welcome! Bp

Be advised the Tamron TAP-in console for Nikon is usable only with certain specific Tamron lenses, so check their website for compatabilty. Also note that model console requires specific non-current operating systems. With Apple computers the Nikon model uses only OS 10.10 and 10.11. That's on the box end panel and per my contact with Tamron support. I was told "the parent company is working on an upgrade for Mac, but it's more complicated than you would think". There is no expected available date. And the Tamron website for the TAP-in console has not been updated since 2019. Bp

I got mine from MPB.com in absolutely mint condition, although they listed it as only excellent. Included both caps. Cost was in the mid to high 500's, I don't remember the exact price. I deal with B&H mostly, sometimes Adorama (whose prices are generally exactly the same as B&H). I've bought and sold with MPB and have found they offer the highest prices for your gear and sell at the lowest prices. And, as with B&H, they seem to grade their for-sale gear lower than it actually is. Hope this helps. Bp
