My right index finger is becoming more useless every day. I have a Nikon D610 and a D7500. I use the D7500 with my Nikon 200-500 most every day. It has become very difficult for me to reach the shutter release on either camera but the exposure compensation is virtuall impossibe. Neither camera is capable of assigning the EC to an FN button. Back button focus is not a problem and I can easily operate the rear thumb wheel. I'm wondering if anyone else with a similar limitation knows of a solution. I researched this and haven't found anything. Any information or idea would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I know I can solve the EC problem by purchasing a D750 and a D500 but not the shutter release. I love both of my cameras and would prefer to keep using them both. Thanks

Do any of you Nikon shooters use refurbished cameras? If so, any problems? Also, which vendors do you patronize? Thanks for your replys.
I only buy refurbished directly from Nikon after getting two cameras and one lens that had problems. So far the three careras and four lenses from Nikon have been perfect.

Well, my most used lens has coincidentally been the same one for 63 years, the lens of my eye.
The left or the right?

(Only day four. I don't have to shoot daily.)
BTW - Which ONE was your most used?
Or did you take the same amount of pictures with each?

I meant to mention that but got distracted. As of today, 200-500mm= 1244, 35mm= 70 and the 85mm= 10.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Someone asked "What was your most used lens for 2020"? How about this year?
I've used my Nikon 35mm f1.8, Nikon 85mm f1.8 and my Nikon 200-500mm.

Thanks for clarifying. I just get a little frustrated when people seemingly go out of their way to say that Manual+Auto ISO is not Manual. It isn't, but you do have to set your shooting mode to Manual ("M") to get into the M+Auto ISO mode so I think it's perfectly OK to refer to it that way. I don't see the contradiction you mention, but I like your overview of the differences in handling "exposure" between M+Auto ISO and changing shutter/aperture!
Call it what you want. It's still M on the dial. Manual mode WITH auto ISO works in every tutorial or manual I've read.

I am sitting here tonight trying to understand Ascension. It's still just a bunch of squeaks and squawks to me. Maybe you have to play the sax to understand.
Do you remember the Playboy Jazz Poll and how we used to take it so seriously? I created a terrible composite of my Playboy Jazz poll in 2020

Like the composite.
After spending the better part of 50 years with a saxophone in my hands I think that it has more to do with rebelling against an industry, or even music itself, and a desire to find something new and different from what he had been doing and then feeling frustrated because it wasn't coming easily. Modal improvisation and endlessly hammering pentatonic scales intertwined with growling overtones can become a rut. Maybe something about what he heard Ornette Coleman doing a year or two earlier resonated with him and he took a shot. Who knows? For me it is easy to hear that most of what is going on in the recording had it's foundation, if not left over from ideas he had while recording A Love Supreme but wasn't able to pursue. Re: A Love Supreme part III, "Pursuance".
Coltrane was one of the main reasons why I picked up a tenor sax. With that said, without any irreverence implied or claiming any idea of what was in his head, I feel that by the time they laid down Ascension he may have felt trapped because an ever increasing audience needed him to sound like what they had come to expect and the industry needed to sell what that audience wanted. I think he intentionally set out to leave them searching and wondering what it was all about and he had the freedom to do it.

Reminded again of how powerful a captured moment in time can be. I grew up just east of Laurel Canyon Blvd on Woodrow Wilson Dr. I saw a lot of these people around town. Henry Diltz has had an amazing career in photography.

No, not necessarily.

Which in most cases, are probably wrong.

The "measuring system" is indicated in the o.p. and no one here is "distressed". Who is "we"? Do you speak for more than just yourself? Why would you trouble yourself with what I have to say anyway?

No kidding. Wouldn't logic dictate that it was a rhetorical question?
