  1. Back filing IPTC info in NX can be a real hassle, is there an autofill feature

    for the fields, other than keywords, and if so how do you turn on that feature?

    Also, how do you delete entries (misspellings etc) in the dropdown keywords

    list?

    I've looked at the online guide and Jason Odell's Ebook but no info is

    available, am I missing something?

     

    I am copying then applying settings in tools but that is really not what I am

    looking for.

     

    Many thanks

  2. I have recently converted from film and am trying to get my head around the

    various combinations of Windows based photo editors and photo managers. I have

    been shooting JPEGs to shorten the learning curve and now want to step up to

    shooting and processing in RAW.

     

    Currently I use the most recent release from ACD See for photo management and

    basic editing, but realize I should be using a dedicated photo editor. My photo

    style is fairly straight forward and I am most interested in touch ups, not

    heavy photo manipulation.

    As a Nikon user I am leaning toward Nikon Capture NX but would like your

    opinions on the other editors as they work with ACD See.

     

    Many Thanks

  4. After renting this lens to shot soccer matches I am now seriously considering

    purchasing one. However, I cannot find any information on the practicle use of

    the focus "limit slidder". Can anyone who is familiar with this please

    enlighten me.

     

    Many Thanks<div>00IRSl-32970784.thumb.jpg.0294c20e90af1e610bad2f3091a809b5.jpg</div>

  5. What are some of your favorite books in your photo library, and what photo mags

    do subscribe to? Me;

    S.Salgado, "Migrations", "Workers"

    S.McCurry "South Southeast"

    R.Michaud "Caravanes de Tartarie"

    Leica World

     

    what say you?

  6. Please help to clarify a nagging question. Does a telephoto lens provide the

    same compression effect when used on both digi and film based cameras? In other

    words, only the angle of view is changed, not the magnification effect.

    Many Thanks

  7. My brother just gave me his 50mm 1.8f Nikkor S 1103xxx and I would like to

    convert it for use on my D200 as a portrait lens. Before doing so I would like

    the thoughts of those who have done the same as far as:

     

    Who would you recommend perform the conversion (NYC area is preferable)

     

    What was your user experience post conversion?

     

    How much should I expect to pay for the conversion?

     

    In your experience was the conversion worthwhile.

     

    and

     

    What is a viable alternative in the current crop of auto focus D lens?

     

    Thank you for your thoughts.

  8. I am a recent convert from Leica M to Nikon D200. Image capture is not a

    problem but once that image is transferred to the PC my head starts to spin.

    Despite reading this forum, and a multitude of others seeking guidance and

    insight, I realize I am confused and know nothing about proper digital

    photography post production. Can anyone suggest an �ABC guide to digital

    workflow� resource?

     

    Many thanks

  9. No knowing what I don't know can anyone recommend a brand/type of compact

    flashcard reader. From what I gather one should transfer via a reader than my

    D200. Is there real merit to that?

    Thanks.

  10. I have read the D200 manual and am still unclear as to the real world

    difference between the two color space options. Up to now I have been climbing

    the digital learning curve by shooting JPEG in sRGB but will now venture into

    RAW, which I assume means resetting color space to ADOBE RGB. What are the

    practical differences and where can I find more info on the proper use of the

    color space option?

  11. If I'm in a situation where I need to use a CF card from my coolpix that

    already has images on it can I slid it into the D200 without reformatting and

    thus losing those images? THanks

  12. It is my understanding that this lens was initially designed for film cameras.

    I am curious as to how one uses its aperture ring when mounted on a D200. Other

    than in program mode, do you control the aperture as you would with a film

    camera? And what is the lens approximate 35mm equivalent, 120mm-300mm?

    Thanks for your thoughts

  13. I've read many reviews of this lens and it seems to be a good one.What has been

    your experiance with this lens mounted on the D200 as it relates to AF speed,

    sharpness and battery drain? I'm currently debating whether to buy the 80-200

    or the newer 18-200. I expect to use the lens for soccer and other fast paced

    situations. Thanks for your help.

  14. Can anyone offer a recommendation for a Photo Manager software application? I

    don't expect to do any heavy image editing, ala Photoshop, and am mostly

    concerned with organization. ACDSee 8 looks like a good one, any other

    suggestions? Thanks.

  15. I just recieved up my new 12-24 lens and an concerned that the manual focus

    ring does not stop as expected at either end of the focus range, is this

    normal? sure feels wierd. Thanks
