  2. There may be no sales tax, but like California where I live, there is a Use Tax, which you must pay. LINK Sales and Use Tax | Mass.gov Will the MA tax collector catch you? I do not know, but I would not brag about it on line.

    Locktite?

    A neoprene jar opener, cut appropriately, should work. If the camera does not twist, the screw should not come lose.

  6. Is this what you are looking for: Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-1 (Gray) 686GREY B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com) BTW Cotton is a Canadian firm in BC Camera Carrying Systems, Camera Harnesses, Camera Holsters - Cotton (cottoncarrier.com)
  7. After exposure and development, apply Spotone. It will be laborious, but it should work for your spots. For a frame, it would be easier to mask off the part you did not want black and simply expose to white light from the enlarger for a minute or two.
  8. If you are running Windows 10 on your computer, insert the camera software disk, open File Explorer, navigate to the software disk, RIGHT click on the install program, and select "Troubleshoot compatibility" in the drop-down menu. Windows 10 will then attempt to run the install in a compatibility mode. Once the program is installed, navigate to the install directory, usually found in Programs(x86), RIGHT click on the program, and once again select "Troubleshoot compatibility". Now see if it will run. Let us know how it works, please.
  9. This photographer got a close view of a Great Grey Owl. LINK: Canadian wildlife photographer snaps owl pic before it perches on camera | Curated (dailyhive.com)
  10. What time is dinner? :) You are, indeed, a fortunate man.
  11. Is the fly focus stacked? You have considerable DOF for that range.
  12. Oh, to heck with half-measures. Chain mail dragging a grounding wire would work. ;)
  13. If it were practical to shield ICD/Pacemakers, the manufactures would have done so, and the American Heart Association Article I cited in my post #9 (above) would be much, much shorter. The American Heart Association is not a group of lawyers, but a well-respected, medical association. If they issue a warning, one would be well advised to heed it.
  14. This article has more explanation about the warning: LINK Nikon's New Lens Tech is a Danger to Medical Devices | PetaPixel The Z400 uses an improved focusing system with more powerful magnets than other lenses. A problem could arise if the magnets come with six inches of a pacemaker/defibrillator according to the American Heart Association in this article (scroll down to the heading Magnets): LINK Devices that May Interfere with ICDs and Pacemakers | American Heart Association This does not mean that if you hang a camera with the lens mounted around your neck you will drop dead, but it does mean it can cause problems. If you need a pacemaker/defibrillator, you already have enough problems; you do not need anymore. No child will swallow the whole lens; the warning, found on about everything you buy, pertains to the small parts on the lens e.g., the screw on the collar mount.
  15. I last used my F100 on 10 June 2017 and printed the last pictures, from a roll of Agfa APX 100, in my darkroom soon after.

  17. Desert Museum, Tucson, AZ, 19 January 2017 1:21 PM (The 76th image I took with my then new D750 and Tamron 70-200) Nikon D750 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 450 (Auto), Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD A009N @ 200mm, Range: 2.99 meters Feeding Time
  18. I do not believe ProGrade, Lexar, Sony, or Delkin manufacture their own NAND chips. They use chips manufactured by other to make the cards. The large NAND manufacturers are Samsung, Kioxia (use to be Toshiba), SK Hynix, WDC (SanDisk also sources from Kioxia), and Micron. Intel sold their NAND business to SK Hynix last year. When the two largest manufacturers, Samsung and Kioxia, have production problems it stresses the NAND supply chain. ProGrade, Lexar, Sony, and Delkin may not be able to get enough chips to make their cards. At very least prices should increase.
  19. Oops! Good catch. Should be 7 million 1 TB cards or 28 million 256 GB cards. Still a lot of cards and that is just WD. Then there is the closed Samsung factory.
  20. I just saw this article about a problem at Western Digital's NAND foundry LINK: Factory contamination affects “at least” 7 billion gigabytes of flash memory | Ars Technica 6.5 exabytes of NAND has been contaminated and is scrapped. According to Blumberg it may be over twice that amount. Coupled with Samsung closing a NAND factory in China due to COVID and we may have a shortage of data cards for cameras as well as flash drives and SSDs. The contaminated NAND is enough to make 7 billion 1GB cards or 28 billion 256 GB cards. Of course, the reduction will not just be flash cards; it will be spread over SSDs, and phones as well as other device that uses NAND memory.
  21. Came upon this article detailing e-mail that claims to be "Nikon PR" but is not. LINK: Scammers Targeting Photographers with Fake Emails from 'Nikon PR' | PetaPixel The object of these e-mail is not obvious, yet, but beware.
  22. I came upon this interesting article for making your own reasonably priced CFExpress type B card. It sounds reasonable. Does it work? I do not know, but Tom's Hardware is usually a reliable site. LINK: Adapter Turns SSDs Into Cheap CFExpress Cards | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com)
  23. I am sure one can find a third-party lens hood at a much more reasonable price if you lose the original.
  24. Both supersonic and subsonic .22 LR rounds are manufactured. As an example, Ely Tenex is subsonic or close to it, depending upon barrel length, altitude, and temperature LINK: ELEY tenex .22LR ammunition | (eleyammunition.com) While Ely Tenex biathlon is probably supersonic depending upon the same conditions LINK: ELEY tenex biathlon .22LR ammunition |
  25. Mr. Perry answers your question 6 - minutes and 30 seconds into the video.
