    My bad! Yes they do go down to 30s. If 15 seconds is 16 and 30 seconds is 32 then the camera is correctly calibrated.

    I don't think there is one. You're out of luck. Both full frame and DX cameras have the same flange distance so there is no room for the adapter.

    Can you shoot without flash? The flash has to be very powerful in order to overcome daylight in the outside background.

    I use mine a lot. That's part of my job.

    1 piece or 2 pieces I have used them on the FM2, FM, FE, F3, F2 without any problem. There must be something wrong with the cap if that is the case. You can buy the 1 piece battery if you want.
  6. bebu_lamar
    obviously it should work without the the ring so the cap is defective? I wonder if you can find a good cap and fix the problem correctly?

    I think you can skip the flash meter but a good used one for $50 is nice. For that type of shooting I agree you don't need iTTL or CLS. Just manual is simpler.

    For long exposure and exposure on tripod I always use manual mode so the eye piece blind isn't needed. I do feel the Df without the finder blind is a cost saving I don't like.

    If the meter on your cameras dead on arrival then you didn't buy them new.

    My 60CT4 is nice because I can use it at ISO 1600 and f/5.6. At that setting even with bounce it will recycle very fast. What would you want for your 45 with bad battery pack?
  11. bebu_lamar
    I don't generally use the manual mode on the flash with the flash mounted on the camera. I use it for a lighting setup with the flash on stand or tripod in which case I use my Metz 60-CT4 which has 27 steps manual power.

    The Nikon Df has both the B and the T settings on the shutter speed dial.

    I manual focus with the 45-CT1, 60-CT2 and 60-CT4 without a problem. The 45 series although smaller is a bit heavier because it's self contained. On the 60 most of the weight is on your shoulder. The 60CT4 is nice because I can use ISO1600 @ f/5.6. At that settings it can recycle very fast.

    I mean not buying the expensive greatest and latest like the SB-5000 and SB-910. They are not better the old SB-24.

    A case for not buying Nikon flashes.

    ISO invarriance depends mostly on the number of bits used to digitize the RAW file. Because RAW files are normally converted to 8 bit per channel JPEG then a 14 bit RAW should have 6 stop range.

    Can you simply cut the protector to any size you want?
  18. bebu_lamar
    I know well how to use the HI setting. Really don't when I would use the LO setting. I have many ways to reduce the light.
  19. bebu_lamar
    For me I would never use LO. If I use lower ISO because it delivers better quality and LO does not and I have lots of ways to reduce light intensity so I don't ever use it. I would use the HI though if I need it.
  20. bebu_lamar
    Yup! Although the white wall tends to lead to underexposure but if I use the non TTL A mode on most of my flashes the results are much better.

    It was the first Kodak DCS 100 - Camera-wiki.org - The free camera encyclopedia

    The reason that you said it doesn't have battery grip. All F4 has a battery grip and depend on which version the grip is different. The F4 doesn't have the vertical grip. The F4s and F4e has the vertical grip. The F4 without the vertical grip originally was not sold in the US.
  23. bebu_lamar
    Which F4 version do you get? The F4 or the F4s or the F4e?
  24. bebu_lamar
    When I first bought my F5 I put in lithium. The result isn't good. The batteries run out quickly so I use alkalines.
  25. bebu_lamar
    Just got an F4s and although I don't like it I don't think it eats batteries though.
