For the uninitiated, it's not all about potting, it's about building piles of winks:

2nd photo - This angle is imho perfect and good colors and sharpness except the sweater closest to his right arm. What has happen there looks very strange to my old eyes?

I am a newbie to Nikon since I only started in 1997 and at present have D810. Living in Vietnam I have had an excellent service by Nikon Saigon until a couple of months ago, whenthey insisted to have my camera for 2 weeks covering a repair, which takes 5 minutes – they have done the same repair 2 times previously. The eyepiece shutter lever stuck due the climate here – have since bought a drycabinet.

I am not living in Saigon but 9-10 driving each way from there.

I was thinking of a new D7200 for a birthday present, but will just have to wait----a price increase just can't be justified to me at this time. My D7000 still works just fine.

you go on holiday to Saigon, where you can get the D7200 for USD 740 or D750 for USD 1400

bnelson - why was it a pleasant surprise to see the ship proceed to Stockton on Sacramento River?

Updating FB??

I can still log in but my previous email address has been deleted by the local ISP, but now I am unable to change my profile with the new email address!! How to do that??

Lao Cai Province just south of Y Ty - unfortunately the farmers had finest the harvest early, which I understood a couple days later, as there has been several typhoons in northern and central Vietnam since September 17. An excuse to go there next year again -:)

 

Now B&H has classified all 3 units as "discontinued" !!

I see that most of the dongles that attach directly to the 10 pin socket have the locking threaded collar that would prevent accidental loss. However, most of the designs make it awkward, if not impossible, to get access to the collar to turn it with your fingers.

 

Perhaps a design that has a pass-through socket could be 'permanently' screwed to the camera with the aid of long-nosed pliers?

The model I have is with a pass-though socket and it is screwed in "permanently" with the help of a long-nosed plier, which I have lost 4 of, as I always have one in my bag, and going through security check in the local airport, the loved to confiscate it -:) I have asked Dawn Tech to make the collar identical to the one on Nikon MC-20 remote control, which is slight longer, and even I can screw it in with my fat fingers. :) I have the ECO PROFESSIONAL 2 (WITH DIGITAL COMPASS) unit

I have today the gps from info@dawntech.hk, and it is functioning very well. There is a strong string attached to the unit, which you attach to the spring ring on the camera house, but I have not experience, that it detach itself from the 10-pin socket. I have had 3 different brands in the past, but this one is far better, based on 2 years/30k photos experience.

The Boys and their toys theme reminds me of the choices available to us. So this week I chose the same photo in colour and black and white - which do you prefer?
