  1. Thanks for the replies the ones at Aldi seem to get good reviews so I guess I'll give it a try.
  2. Hello, I haven't posted here in a long time but I am having the same issue with my D300 rubber grips. Unfortunately, the Nikon Parts link does not have the grips for the D300/D300s. There are aftermarket replacement grips available but they seem to be a mixed bag of good and bad as far as fit and adhesives. Anyone have good experience with any of these aftermarket replacements? If so, which one? Thanks Stan
  3. <p>I know what you mean about the weight. Recently I took my D300 with a Sigma 17-70mm on a hike up Old Rag and I was really wishing I had something lighter, especially as I have cervical spinal stenosis. The picture quality made it all worth it. The lens was just about perfect, possibly could have gone wider. The D300 is a DX sensor so the the FX equivalent would be about 25-105mm. I am considering getting a second body like the D5500 with a Nikon 16-80mm as it looks like I could save 1lb vs my present rig. <br> The other thought is to use a camera sling bag rather than having it hang from my neck.</p>
  4. <p>I still have my N8008s in a closet somewhere but I do remember having some strange issues related to batteries and electrical contacts. Make sure all electrical contacts are clean. This includes the battery contacts, the lens mount contacts and the contacts on the lens.<br> In cold weather, mine would lockup occasionally. I found that this was due to the alkaline batteries getting cold which increases their internal resistance resulting in voltage drop. I switched to NiMh batteries for cold weather and problem was solved. NiMh have better resistance to cold temperature impedance gain.</p>
  5. <p>How do you know when the mirror is sticking? Mine has given me a couple black images recently but the mechanism sounds same as always even when I got the black images.<br> Thanks<br> Stan</p>
