  1. <p>Hello,<br /> I am using Nikon Scan (Windows 4.03) on Windows 10 Pro 64bit (My Windows 10 Pro is actually installed on a 15" 2014 MacBook Pro Retina using Bootcamp!) with great success.<br>

    <br /> It's a very easy process to install Nikon Scan 4.03 on a 64bit Windows 10 Pro thanks to this guy (Axel Rietschin) http://axelriet.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html</p>

    <p>I downloaded Nikon Scan Software from here: https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14463/~/nikon-scan-4.0.3---windows-vista</p>

    <p>I downloaded the updated Nikon Scan Driver here: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/bin/NikonUsbScanners64.zip<br>

    <br /> It may also work on Wondows 10 Home, I have not tried it.<br>

    <br /> By the way, I followed this YouTube step by step to put Windows 10 on a 2014 MacBook retina using Mac's Bootcamp Utility. (Then I installed the Nikon Scan in the Windows 10.)<br>

    <br /> This video shows how to install Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro:<br />

  2. I have Schneider, Nikon, and

    Rodenstock. I cannot attest to

    Fujinon but the latest Rodenstock

    lenses such as 45,55 are top

    shelf. I also have Rodenstock 210

    that beat the daylights out of my

    Nikon 210. I also have a very

    fine Nikon 90. My Schneider 72xl

    is razor sharp.

  3. <p>Hello, I am new to using strip boxes.<br>

    <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/501146-REG/Westcott_3668_Bruce_Dorn_Strip_Bank.html">I am using these 18x42 strip boxes</a>. I purchased the 40 degree <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/829982-REG/Westcott_2474_40_Degree_Fabric_Grid.html">optional honeycomb grid for them</a><br>

    So the strip bank has a smaller internal baffle diffuser, a also a selection of -.25, -.5, and -1 stop larger front diffusion panels, and finally this optional 40 degree honeycomb grid as above.<br>

    Is it correct that when using the honeycomb grid, one typically still uses one of the three front difussion panels behind the honeycomb grid?<br>

    Looking forward to using these!<br>

    Thanks in advance for all knowledgeable answers.</p>

    <p><strong>Or</strong> can it be assumed that if there is a consistent back or front focus shift with precise manual focusing, the main mirror is <strong>not</strong> at 45 degrees?</p>

    <p>Only reason to fine tune it if you have a split image focusing screen installed because that is the only way to see that it is ever so slightly off. With a standard focusing screen you can not see if the focusing screen needs to be fine tuned.<br>

    </p>

    </blockquote>

    <p>I disagre. The reason to fine tune is because at a subject distance of <strong>appx</strong> 2 to 3 feet, my actual "on film" focus point is a good 3 inches further away from camera than that indicated <strong>CLEARLY</strong> on my matte focus screen. <br>

    A 3 inch focus differential is a big difference when taking portraits with lens wide open. You eyes are basically going to be out of focus consistently. <br>

    <br>

    Furthermore, anyone consistently moving their camera forward 3 inches from their brain's *push shutter* decision to their finger pushing shutter has neurological challenges to overcome, and yes THAT group would need a tripod to assess if there is a problem to begin with.</p>

  6. <p>Hello,<br>

    I have a newish Nikon D610 that I suspect has a misadjusted mirror stop as I am getting consistent back focusing (actual focus point in photo is further away from lens than how it appeared in viewfinder).<br>

    I had this problem with my D300 and I carefully adjusted the mirror stop screw with a hex wrench and eliminated this problem in a trial and error adjustment that took an hour once I figured out which direction to turn for what effect....<br>

    Has anyone else tried Adjusting Mirror Stop Screw on a Nikon DSLR to fix consistent focus issues under conditions of using lenses wide open close subject distance?</p>

     

  7. <p>Wait til Nikon or Canon start installing micro T Grain shape pixels that randomly regenerate themselves across the sensors for each exposure, with 18 stop dynamic range - totally mimicking film. All current digital SLR cameras will be found at Goodwill for $50 each.</p>
