<p>My friend that I shoot with has his first Digital camera. Nikon D70s. He heard somewhere he should not try his old 17mm F3.5 Non AI Nikkor lens on his camera. He does not know why and is curious. I have no good answers for this and would like to ask the group if someone could give us some feedback on this. Also I have a D300 and D50, Will this lens fit on either of these cameras. I will provide any additional information requested that will help answer my questions.</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>Its nice and smooth in MF mode. What do I use to clean the contacts. They look clean but I know as a computer geek looking clean isnt always good enough.</p>

<p>No this will not focus even on distant objects such as a tree 30 feet away, Things I have shot in the past.</p>

<p>I have a 55-200 kit lense from my D50 that I have been using on my D300. It has served me well. I now have an issues that I am asking for some input on. The lens will now auto-focus just fine close to the 55mm range but when I get closer to the 200mm range it will search but not find the focus. I tried the lens on both the D300 and the D50 with the same results. My 18-55 kit lens will focus just fine on both bodys so that leads me to believe that I have correctly troubleshot it to the lens. Is there anything I can try.</p>

<p>I would have to think they know how they look and if they want someone to photograph them they would not be shocked with what they see. Tell him to do the best job he can, or even look at it as a challenge.

<p>Thank you both so much for your responses. I will post some pictures after the shoot. This should be so much fun I have so many baby props and I have never had an oppertunity to use them yet. Wish me luck!</p>

<p>I am curious if anyone can give any help on this. I have been asked by a couple to do some stuido type photo shots of their newborn when it comes. The baby will be somewhere from 3 to 6 weeks when we do the shoot. My concern is can I use my small shadow boxes for the baby shoot or will the babys eyes be too sensitive. The lighting in my basement studio is not that great without using flash so I may have trouble with available light photos.</p>

<p>Yea but see here is my problem I talked the wife into letting me upgrade from the D50 to the D300 so I could do more photos and I just don't think I could talk her into a Mac right now although I would love one, I do computer tech work and had a work macbook pro with Photoshop but when I left for some reason they wanted it back.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I chose to use the Option that Ellis mentioned. Here is something I noticed though if I just select a group of Nef files from windows explorer select open with then Photoshop CS3 it will only open them one at a time. If I select a group from within Adobe Bridge then I can see all of the files as Ellis described. Any idea what I would be doing wrong that I can not from within windows explorer just select a group of them? Maybe this is just the way things work. I guess I have not tried to open large groups of files at all at once in ACR. I normally just open one and file at a time to edit them.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Is there an easy way to tell Photoshop CS3 to apply Auto Levels to all my raw NEF files in a directory? I know auto levels is not always the best but for this project it would be good enough and I have a lot of NEF files to do. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks<br>

When I am in Unified View of the forum and I click on the blue search I get the following error. I am using

firefox if that mad any difference.

 

Request Error

"q" required but not supplied

William - It turned out it was on the sensor, Lex above jogged my brain and I cleaned the sensor. All is well now.

 

Michael - Unfortunately my spec is on the inside of the element. But I still tried over and over my rocket bulb blower.

I can not believe I did not even think to check the sensor. I saw that speck on the lens and just knew that was it and didn't even think to continue looking into it. Lex you were correct that was it. After all the times I had to clean the D50 sensor you would think I would have checked that first I do take better care of my D300 but I still should have checked it. After doing the clean sensor option from the menu on the D300 I am now shooting speck free. Thank you to all who gave input on this. Now on to see what I can create with lightning bugs that are all over my back yard. Once again Thanks everyone.

Sorry I have very poor lighting in the house and any attempt of artificial lighting didnt work. The white speck in the upper right is where it is.<div></div>

Zooming in and out does not seem to do anything as far as moving it around.

Matt thanks attached is an image at f22 and it is noticeable like it was the other day. a crop of what I just took.<div></div>

ok now I feel dumb because as I put it back on it does now show on my images as bad as I thought it was. Thank you for the responses.

I does show on the images. I will take a quick photo and attach it.

I'm not sure how it happened but somehow I have gotten a bit of dust, just a speck actually, on the inside glass

on the back of my lens This is a Nikon 55-200 4.5-5.6. My buddy said leave it and work around it but I just cant

accept that. Is this something I can clear out or do I have to have it sent in to someone to have it cleaned? I

am on a very tight budget so I am concerned about cost, if it needs to be sent in for cleaning how much could I

expect to be paying for this?
