<p>There is an adapter for the F3 flash hot shoe to make it work with the later Nikon flashes that have a "normal" hot shoe. (AS-3 or AS-7)<br> <br />Mir.com has a page with the various adapters</p> <p>http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/coupler/index.htm</p>

<p>What you really want for that mix of cameras is an SB-800 - and the regular hotshoe adapter for the F3</p>

<p>You can also install the free ViewNX2 from the Nikon website and use that to adjust your NEF files and export to TIFF for additional editing in lightroom if you want.</p>

<p>With the landscape and buildings, I would go with the 24mm focal length</p>

<p>Shun, you said "pixel density is an issue related to camera shake only if you blow the images up in the same way you would with a 36MP DSLR/mirrorless"<br> When people are using a D7100 or D7200 for "reach" when doing bird in flight photography or macro photography or event photography they would be aiming at the same size prints as anyone using a D800.<br> The smaller pixel pitch wpuld show far more movement blur with the same angular movement as a D800, and that would be more evident on the same size print made from a DX 24 MP camera image as that from a D800. <br> You comment about an iPhone is correct but that has nothing to do with the use of the DX cameras.</p>

<p>Why is it that no one comments on the "hand hold ability" of any of the DX cameras.<br> The currents models all have a much higher pixel density than the D800/D800e/D810.<br> The shake will have a much worse effect on those cameras than it will on a D800/D800e/D810</p>

<p>and three</p><div></div>

<p>and two</p><div></div>

<p>This is one</p><div></div>

<p>I'd favour the D800, after all, I have one.</p> <p>I also have a D810, both are great cameras</p>

<p>and a third</p><div></div>

<p>and another image from the shoot</p><div></div>

<p>I was at a "Steampunk" photo shoot on the weekend</p> <div></div>

<p>A lot of those controllers really have to be on the camera to work.<br> The controllers provide info to the camera and the camera actually sends commands to the remote flash with the radio controller intercepting the command and sending it along to the slave radio unit that the flash is mounted on.</p>

<p>Just echoing Kent, the 24mm PC-E Tilt Shift lens is the way to go for landscape and seascape views. The Samyang/Rokinon will do fairly well, but it is not as sharp as the Nikon lens.</p>

<p>practice hand holding, you will get better with more practice :-)</p>

<p>The 14-24 f/2.8 is a terrific lens ... the Lee filter attachment is kind of awkward (and pricey), but if you need to use ND and graduated ND filters they work well.</p>

<p>You could always buy one of the manual focus Micro-Nikkor lenses through KEH.com and get extension tubes as well. The D7100 works just fine with the Manual focus AI and AIS lenses</p> <p>One like this and some extension tubes would be inexpensive probably under $100.00</p> <p>https://www.keh.com/220950/nikon-55mm-f-3-5-micro-ai-manual-focus-lens-52</p> <p>The extension tube that gets you to 1:1 ratio is also available</p> <p>https://www.keh.com/216664/nikon-manual-focus-pk13-auto-ext-ring-27-5mm-55-micro-ai-1-1</p> <p>Total of the two is about $110.00 72 for the lens 37 for the extension tube.</p>

<p>and this two</p><div></div>

<p>and a pair of these</p><div></div>

<p>Well, there were a couple of these ...</p><div></div>

<p>Personally, I'd send it in for service right away</p>
