  1. Hi Can anyone help me in my predicament, I have been receiving weekly alerts for the Nikon forum for many years and all of a sudden they have stopped arriving in my email in box, I have searched the site to see where I can reconfigure my profile to receive them again, but with no luck. Can anyone tell me where I have to go on the forum to start receiving these once a week alerts? Regards, Mike
  2. <p>Brexit I am afraid, is the lame excuse being trotted out on anything post June 23rd that is negative, however, as Rodeo Joe said in an earlier thread, it is amazing how when financial markets fall to the benefit of the consumer the manufacturers tend to drag their heels in passing on any benefits, if at all, the price of petrol is a prime example of this, however on a more positive note another comparison website I use is this one <a href="http://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=2716164">http://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=2716164</a> and you can type in the product of interest at the top of the page to see what is on offer, I recently used it to pick up a D750, and was even offered a 6 months o% interest deal if I wanted it.</p>
  3. <p>Hi Edward<br> If you can tell me how I attach a Pdf file to a forum post I can send you the methodology I had passed on to me, and the one that I always use, regards Mike</p>
  4. <p>Hi Michael<br> Attached image produced from a 30 year old negative using my copy stand and light box method, regards Mike</p><div></div>
  5. <p>Hi Tom<br> I have been reading this thread with interest, and I too have an ES1 slide copier, I also owned a Nikon Coolscan at one point, then one day some years ago in conversation with a fellow photographer we came to the subject of digitally copying transparencies and negatives, both mono and colour, and having seen some of the examples of his copying I was sold on his method and have used it ever since with remarkable success, I have a Kaiser RA1 Copy Stand, a Kaiser Slimlite light box, and for negatives a Nikon FH-835S 35m strip film holder, I use a Nikon FX format camera with my 60mm Micro lens and photograph the individual negatives 12 at a time in RAW, I then take them into Photoshop where I employ a conversion process that produces, as far as I am concerned pretty accurate results when compared to the originals, with transparencies I photograph them individually, again in RAW, on the light box, normally in batches of about 30 to 50 at a time, then take them into Photoshop to work on the images, this method has worked fine for me and if you wish to see my methodology I would be happy to let you have a copy of my printed workflow, not sure if we can PM on this forum though, I could also send you some examples of thirty year old colour negatives that not only did I process using this method, I even used the mounted enlargements at a number of exhibitions that I presented, I apologise if I have gone off the topic of the ES1 but having tried this method myself, I felt far more at ease with my newly discovered means of copying.</p>
  6. <p>Does the XT2 have built in GPS? Does any mirror less camera have built in GPS? It is essential for my type of photography, and I presently use a Nikon GP1 tethered to my DSLR's, but would love to jump ship to a Fuji mirror less option with in built GPS, maybe it will come with the XT3 or XPRo3!</p>
