    Which lens to chose and why?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>of the 3 listed my choice would be the 50mm f1.8 as the length will give reasonable head and sholders without being in the subjects face also the 1.8 has more depth of focus wide open and will be easer to focus. Also you will probley be useing the lens at about f2.0-f2.8 the IQ would be about the same with the F1.4 and you save about $250<br>

    people complain when things do not work in the way that they want, wish or hope from most of the posts on this forum I think a lot of these stem from the manual which alought it has all the info it does not seem to be written in a manner that is easy to understand.Also by human nature we only complain.

    I obtained one of these Image scanners http://www.adorama.com/VUFPSCAN.html image below was taken useing

    EM with 50mm e series on Kodachrome in 1986 in Corfu .The the unit scanned the slide as a Tiff file of about 50Mb

    in size the post processing done was to resize the image .I found the unit easy to use with windows it will also

    convert neg to pos and remove the cast from color negs. For $75 it seems to be a quick and cheap way to get old

    slides on to your computer (on a par with a flatbed scanner)

    How good are Nikon refurbished products ?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    There are 2 types of refurbished product The first where someone returns the product within the no quibble return period. By law they cannot be resold as new so they are either sold by the retaler as open box units at a discount outhers are retutned to the manufctures who will run a reset to factory defults . The other type of of refurb is a unit that was returned DOA and need to be repiared . That is why you get different grades of refurb units and I belive why you get different warrantys.

    which lenses to consider for a walkabout

    in Nikon

    Posted

    I will be looking for a lens with more reach for use on a D40 at the moment the lenses I have are a 18-55 kit lens also

    a 55-200 VR in the AF lens and also a 28m/m e series a 50m/m eseries and a 70 - 210 e series zoom.I find the e

    series lenes great for quality on the DX sized sensor,no problems useing MF but metering would be nice so what I

    would like is a lens that starts at about 18m/m and goes to about 70-135m/m.I would like to keep the cost to less

    than $500 cdn .No problems with 3rd party or used lenes.On a recent trip most inages were between 24m/m and

    about 90-100m/m

    Small Nikon SLR's - which offers the best performance?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    for a small film nikon SLR I have a EM great body I have had this camera from new way back in 1980 and have just moved over to digital with a D40 have found that the highley rated E series lenses appear to have a better IQ used in man mode on the D40.I think it could be just the D40 useing the sweet spot of the lens.

    As an ex Dell tech this sounds like

    a. the machine is infected with spyware

    b The pageing file is not large enough

    c. anti virus is running all the time and scanning everthing moveing through the processor

    For a quick fix run a spyware removal programe spybot s&d is one of the best and its free copy and paste the url into your Browser http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

    My next recomendation would be to contact Dell and use their Dell on call service cost about 9mths ago was $50.00 for a one time clean up and it is done remotley with the tech takeing control of your computer even the worst infection should not take more than 60 mins. The cost is cheaper than someware like Geek Squad who would probley spend 20 mins on the machine and if that did not clean the machine they would reinstall at about $30 per program . a badley infected machine can take 20 mins to run some of the cleaning tools JMHO.
