  1. AFAIK, it's the same screen as the D500 and D850. Anyway, they all take the same size screen protector!

     

    There's a slight recess, ie the screen is very, very slightly lower than the black bezel.

     

    That 'sunken' size is 50.9mm x 67.1mm.

     

    That's brilliant, thank you Mike :-)

  2. Hi folks,

     

    I'm designing a prototype product to fit the screen of various cameras and I need to know the exact size of the screen area of the following cameras:

     

    Fujifilm GFX50S

    Fujifilm GFX50R

    Fujifilm GFX100

     

    Can any of you help? I need the exact length and width of the screen in millimetres (the area that would normally be covered with a screen protector).

     

    Thank you.

  3. Hi folks

     

    I've just acquired an "as new" Marrutt film drying cabinet and am excited to try it out. Do any of you have any experience with drying cabinets? I don't want to melt my negatives and am wondering what sort of temperature and duration I should be using to dry my films.

    Naturally I can do my own testing but I'd prefer to hear first hand from someone who has used one before.

  4. Hi Kenneth,

     

    Thank you so much for your help. I was beginning to think nobody was going to be able to answer my query. I eventually managed to get an answer from a few D7500 owners on Amazon and your measurements tie up nicely.

     

    Best wishes

  5. Thanks, but I don't need a screen protector. I just need to know the exact size of the area of the screen that would be normally be covered by a screen protector. I don't live anywhere near any stores that have one on display.
  6. Hi Guys

     

    Could any of you D7500 owners give me the exact dimensions of the LCD screen of your camera in millimetres? i.e. If you were going to stick on a glass screen protector what size would it need to be? The size needs to be exact for a project I am working on.

     

    Thank you.

  7. It all depends on what you want the camera for. For me, the M-D gives the most enjoyable shooting experience. When you get back home all you want to do is download your photos to see what you managed to capture, just like waiting for a roll of film to come back from the lab. A camera with an LCD doesn't give that enjoyment, you know what you've captured as soon as you take your finger off the shutter.

     

    If I was buying a Leica M for paid work or as my one and only camera I would probably go for the M10. But for something to give me the most pleasure I would definitely get the M-D.

  8. Sorry for the late reply. My friend bought a brand new M-D recently and I absolutely love it. So does he!

     

    Advantages over standard M262:

    • Better battery life
    • Easier and more convenient to change ISO
    • Gives an all consuming shooting experience. Just like shooting film. Wonderfully enjoyable.
    • You never miss a shot because you were chimping at the screen
    • Looks gorgeous

    Disadvantages:

    • Will only shoot DNG (no jpeg option)
    • Changing date/time for EXIF is a challenge (user manual essential).
    • User manual also essential when cleaning sensor.
    • Updating firmware is not as easy without an LCD screen
    • You cannot manually select lenses so 6-bit coded wide angle lenses are essential.

  9. <p>The outer AF points on the 5D2 are a joke. They are so bad that I never use them. They're nowhere near accurate enough for wide aperture lenses. </p>

    <p>I think the 5D3 will be far superior. Even for portraiture and fashion work, accurate outer AF points make a huge difference on lenses like the 35mm f/1.4 to keep those subtle movements in check.</p>
