    Found a post over on FM.com by CanadaMark listing features, which stated - Smaller RAW modes does not increase buffer size, they actually take longer for the camera to process. Medium is 25.5MP, small is 11.3MP."

    If you truly need to shoot at wide apertures, the modern lenses are going to be noticeably better, especially in the corners. If you shoot at f8 or so, the AF-D lenses will still perform very well, and are considerably more compact and handy, plus they have aperture rings, if you prefer to use them as I do.

    @dieter: Thanks for the information on sRaw. Not a big deal to me. Also, it will be difficult for me to justify the upgrade from my D800, which is still serving me very well in studio. And, the fact that I prefer my Df for family, travel and street photography. I might go for a deal on a clean used D850 later next year. Who knows?

    Very nice, and rather tempting. I wonder if the reduced sized RAW files a true RAW files of some compromise? It would be nice to process the smaller files where the situation warrants.

    Tony Northrop of Tony & Chelsea Live on YouTube posted a good video on the subject. Here's a link:

    I rarely use exposure compensation. When in doubt, I usually spot meter or look at the histogram.

    If this were a wedding anniversary, the wife would not be pleased. No Df2 :-(

    [sgt. Shultz]I know nothing!![/sgt. Schultz] But, that sounded like a 'maybe' to me. I hope Nikon gives us some cool new stuff.

    Shun, shall we expect an announcement from you at 12:01 am 7/19/2017? Curious minds want to know.

    I don't turn it off to change lenses. But, most of the time, I change lenses while the camera is already off.

    When I got my D700, I left DX for good. If I ever change sensor sizes again, it will be medium format.

    A beater Elmar 50mm with a scratched up front element and internal haze/fungus ought to get you what you're looking for.

    I joined photo.net on April 17, 1997. At that time, I had a different email and account, presumably, I would be dan_brown|1 in today's parlance. Anyway, Philip Greenspun was posting regularly back in the day, and the place was extremely cool. Cheers to all, and I hope to be here for another 20 years :^)

    It sounds like the film leader never engaged the take-up spool forks, so you basically never took any pictures because the film never advanced.. Go into a dark room and remove the bottom plate and 'see' what you have in there. 99% this is an operator error, not a camera problem.

    Lens CLA rates?

    dan_brown4 replied to stefan_g's topic in Nikon

    I just had a 1953 Leitz Summitar collapsible 50/2 CLA'd by DAG Camera for $150. Don did a beautiful job.
  18. dan_brown4
    OK, sounds like the shutter needs some TLC. I'd have to send it to DAG, or some other service provider. I had my IIIf red-dial CLA'd by YYE a couple years ago, and it's shutter has been running accurate ever since, even on the low-speed dial. But, you're looking at a couple hundred $$.
  19. dan_brown4
    I would not trust the iPhone video to evaluate shutter operation. Rather, I would shoot bracketed exposures and look at the negatives.

    IMHO, finder mag and widest lens 'comfortable use' goes like this: .58x - 28mm .72x - 35mm .85x - 50mm ETA Grrrrr @ the idiotic photo.net text reformatter.

    Recently experienced this with my F100. The sticky feel was only on the film door, not on the rest of the body. I was able to remove it with alcohol wipes, going over it multiple times to gradually clean the stickiness, and it came out good as new.

    Spare unit is on its way to another forum member.
  23. dan_brown4
    Thank you Matt, the adapters arrived today. As I mentioned, one is plenty, so if anyone else can use one of these, shoot me an email and I'll send to to you. mail(at)dlaab(dot)com

    rossb: One really nice little film camera I had back in the day was the Contax ARIA. Of course, you'd have to get a Zeiss lens or two.

    I've been shooting HP5 and wet-printing since the first of the year. Good times for sure, and the prints are just lovely. Using an M6 with 50mm mostly, but also using my F100 with various AF-D Nikkors. It is a superb camera (uses AA batteries), and can't imaging wanting another model.
