I have a DJI phantom 2 drone that I use with a GoPro 3+ to mainly take still photos. I am thinking of adding a 3rd party gimbal that will allow me to use the battery on the Phantom 2 and will support the GoPro. I have found some on Ebay that look like they might work, but I would appreciate any info from someone who has actually added one to their Phantom 2 and likes it. Thanks

Can you tell me where I can find messages from other members, thanks

<p>I started with a Nikon Ftn, then went though all the F cameras to the F5. Nikon was one of the first professional cameras that had a motor that would let a Photojournalist shoot sports or news at a fast speed. They designed the cameras for professionals with things like large capacity backs. The lenses were sharp and contrasty and were built like tanks. Nikon Professional services took very good care of staff photographers at newspapers and magazines. If you had a camera fall into a creek on a assignment, soaked in a hurricane, they would repair it quickly and give you a loaner if they could not. The long glass was fast and well made as well, with the F mount allowing you to keep using older lenses. I am no longer a staff Photographer for a major paper, but my Nikons took me around the world and never let me down. I still freelance and I am still shooting with a D3s and a D810 and still using 20 yrs old Nikkor lenses. </p>

<p>Dennis, I sent you a email yesterday. </p>

Circus elephant in phoenix. I just posted some photos yesterday on my Personal

Photo.net page of the circus setting up tents.<div></div>

<p>I have them on all my work lenses. I have had them save a lens in a fall.</p>

<p>I am thinking its a focal plane shutter, it sounds a little like my Contax IIIa.</p>

<p>They are great bullet proof cameras. The lens is very sharp, I believe its a Tessar design. </p>

<p>I have bought two from them in the past few months, they are a tiny bit thinner than the origional ones but very well machined and they work great. </p>

 

<p>I agree, I use VueScan for my Epson 4990 as well as my Nikon Coolscan V and its very easy to use and a lot less expensive. </p>

<p>I feel sorry for the Printer in this story, but he really should have had the prints signed at the time. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/nyregion/richard-avedon-unsigned-prints.html">http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/nyregion/richard-avedon-unsigned-prints.html</a></p>

<p>I wonder how a Hasselblad would do with this test. <br /><br /><a href="

<p>I was a newspaper photographer for 35 yrs, and we used to roll our film back to back when on deadline. This was always with color in the Wing-lynch machine, as we had plenty of room in the wet rooms for B&W. It's not hard to do, you need to have a good straight reel. </p>

<p>I still shoot Tri-x as Plus-x and Verichrome Pan, are no longer made. I have found in the past that TMAX was a little to contrasty for my tastes. I still developed in D-76, and now I scan them instead of printing them in a darkroom. </p>

<p>I have tried many different straps over the years with lots of cameras, this is my favorite. It stays on your shoulder even if you bend over. http://www.upstrap-pro.com/</p>

<p>My thoughts are that you want the negative to be as thin as possible and still have shadow detail where you need it. I liked a fairly thin negative to wet print, and then I would add contrast with a enlarging paper, maybe a grade 4. It the same with scanning in a negative, I want to add the contrast with Photoshop, not with a denser negative. </p>

<p>I have a D810 and I believe the quality is very close to my scanned Happablad, Mamiya RZ67, and even 4x5 negs and transparencies. The only down side to me as a professional is that the very large files are slow in my Imac computer with only 8 gigs of Ram. I have seen photos shot on the D810 using a Hasselblad lens on with a adapter and the quality is exceptionally good. </p>

<p>Look at page 15 on the manual. http://www.cameramanuals.org/nikon_pdf/nikonos_ii.pdf</p>

 

<p>Its been years since I had my II but I seem to remember a lever that rotated down to keep the camera firing accidently. I may have imagined this, but check it out </p>

<p>Thanks again everyone. I am trying the free month of DXO to see how I like it and that will help me decide what program to use. I may also try CaptureOne as well. </p>

<p>Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your comments. </p>
