  1. $300 is not bad at all. I dropped a 24-120 from one foot sideways onto rather bumpy rock. The impact cracked the housing for the VR and M/A switch. Everything worked just fine. Nikon charged me $400 to repair the switch housing. However, when I got the lens back, it seems Nikon replaces the entire lens barrel, not the the switch housing. The body of the lens is clearly new. But they did not just replace the entire lens as I briefly hoped. The lens mount wear shows it was the still the original lens.
  2. Does the new Z bodies have mechanical shutters? Are they compatible with current and recent flashes? Specifically SB-800 of which I have 3?
  3. I am trying to do time lapse sunset photos on autoexposure aperture priority so the sequence tracks changing ambient light. However, you can see a noticeable exposure change from one frame to the next in the sequence whenever the camera makes a 1/3 stop aperture change. The result is the time lapse has a distinct strobe effect. Can either D600 or D810 be set to do stepless adjustments instead of 1/3 stop adjustments?
  4. I hope the new camera with adopter will actuate mechical aperture lenses. It is probably tempting to provide an all electronic interface.
  5. I wasn’t planning on pointing the camera at the sun. I was going to start at twilight and then capture the gradual illumination of the city lights in the evening, or the alpenglow On the Eastern face of the Sierras prior to sunrise
  6. i am interested in taking time lapse videos at approximately 1 frame/second over 30 minutes - 1 hour of sunrise or,sunset. Is there a way to,do this on the D600 or D810 that doesn’t require cycling the mechanical shutter 1800 - 3600 times?
  7. I plan to take sunset photos with Nikon D810 and intervalometer. Is there Anyway to combine these photos into a video?

  12. An acquaintance with the Park Service posed the following question: “...... One of the requirements is photography of about 1200 items in the collection that the Park Service doesn’t currently have good digital photographs of. I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction of a method of adding data to a JPG file. We will be capturing the images as RAW (NEF since the camera is a NIKON D750) and JPG. The customer’s requirement is Tiff and JPG. We need to batch convert the RAW files to Tiff. That part is easy enough, but we also need to add the object’s accession number and a date to the JPG. The end result needs to look like this. I need to add the black rectangle with the object name and data. Are there any tools available that would let us add the data we need to the digital file’s metadata then extract it out and put it in the JPG in a batch process. Can we do it in real time with a laptop connected to the camera? Are we stuck with doing that manually one photo at a time in Photoshop or something” Can anyone help?
