  1. Thanks everyone. I have NX Studio installed and will just create the several batch files on it. I only use NX2 for a couple of items in my workflow, and really not that often. I also used it for quick print jobs. Like everything else in life, I guess it is time to move on.
  2. I need to make a fresh install of Capture NX2 (yes, I still use it occasionally). Nikon pulled the free install off of its website last October. I thought I had a disk but can't find it. Anyone know a safe website where I can download a copy?
  3. 600mm f/4 on D500 body set at f/6.3; ISO 1600 and 1/3 sec
  4. Sorry about the bad luck Shun. After reading your post I immediately re-tightened the ring on my 200-500. Last Friday while shooting at a high school football game I noticed that the screw holding the Arca Swiss clamp on my monopod had loosened. Since it was holding my 300MM f/2.8 and D500 I immediately panicked wondering how I was going to re-tighten it. Fortunately the latest RRS L-Plates have a slot for an allen wrench that was the same size and I was able to tighten it.
  5. Thanks everyone for the comments. The Wasabi EN-EL18 charger costs slightly more, but still much cheaper than the Nikon. I have never understood the $449 price tag on the Nikon charger.
  6. Has anyone tried the Kastar LCD Dual Fast Charger for Nikon EN-EL18b EN-EL18a battery? I normally don't use third-party chargers, but for $39.95 it is awfully tempting to have one on hand as an additional/backup.
  7. Just received notification that my Sony 64GB XQD cards will be shipped today.
  8. Just noticed that the Sony card is now on backorder. Oh well. Maybe someday.
  9. Shun, I agree it is a very good deal at $99.95. I placed the order originally because one of my Lexar 64GB XQD cards went bad. That was the first memory card of any type I have had go bad.
  10. I received the following email yesterday concerning a backorder for the Lexar XQD 64GB card at Adorama : "In regards to your order for the Lexar Pro 64GB 2933X XQD Memory Card. We are sorry to report that we have just been informed by Lexar that they have discontinued this card and will no longer be fulfilling any orders for this. We can offer to replace this with the Sony 64GB XQD G/E Memory Card at the same price or if you not wish to have this replaced we would have to cancel the order, Please reply to this email how would like to proceed. If we don't hear back on this we will have no choice but the cancel the order. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience it may have caused." Since my original order was priced at $99.95 I am going to accept the Sony card.
  11. I am a Premium Member that uses an ad blocker and have reported this problem before. Whenever I enter Photo.net I get an overlay stating that ad blockers hurt the community and asking me to become a premium member. As stated above, I am already a Premium Member! I have to click the overlay and most times that takes me away from the forum I want to enter. Can we not get this fixed? If not I will not renew my Premium Membership this year since obviously I'm not getting what I want from it.
  12. Maybe we're missing something. Surely under the "In The Box" listing for this lens will be: -LF-4 Rear Lens Cap -Lens Hood -Soft Case -New D850 body -New D500 body Short of that I don't think you have to worry about a large backorder list. But what do I know?
  13. Like Dieter and Joseph I give each camera body a unique name under "File Naming" in the setup menu. For instance D5A=D5, D50=D500, D85=D850 and D75=D750. That way in the future I can tell just by looking at a file name which camera body was used. I manually create folders based on the job or destination such as "Acme HS Football 2017" and then separate folders for each game. I use Fast Picture Viewer 64 Pro after each game to quickly go through the photos and transfer the keepers to the folder. For sports when using multiple camera bodies I use Adobe Bridge to put them in the proper time sequence and batch rename if desired. For that each body must have a GPS so that the time is synchronized. For photo sessions it can be "Smith Family 2017" and for vacation trips "Hawaii 2009". I have used this system for about 15 years and at least for me helps to quickly locate photos from a certain event or destination.
  14. ilkka, you are correct. Lexar (now Longsys) website says to return to seller for warranty issues. I am in the process of doing that now. Shun, I too only use backup mode for this very reason. By the way, the website is now letting me back in without ads after I sign in as paying member. Glad they corrected that.
  15. Okay, I moved the XQD card back from the D5 into the D850. I ran off several high speed bursts without issue, then suddenly the card error appeared again. I moved the card back to the D5 and turned it on, and immediately got the card error on it as well. I then moved it back to the D850 and it worked through several high speed bursts without a problem. At this point I suspect it is a card issue. If it is this is the first card problem I have had after more than 16 years of digital photography. Unfortunately it is a Lexar 64GB XQD card, so getting it covered under warranty is probably out of the question. As an aside, I have had trouble getting on PN today because I am using Ad Blocker. For a few days it has just put a banner across the top, but today it is refusing to let me get on without turning Ad Blocker off even though I pay an annual fee for PN. It is getting very annoying.
