Hi list,
I am a bit sad because I had to sell my K20D recently (was quite in a
financial trouble). So now here I stand broken hearted and without a
camera. I am thinking about to buy an older camera and so far Nikon D80
came to my mind but recently I saw Fuji S3 Pro is going around 200
Pounds

Wasn't Cotty raving about the Fuji a while back? It certainly looks on paper

I've bought a Nikon D5000 (the replacement for the K20D) and wrote a

Can't wait a D300s vs K-7 test. I guess it would be a very even match.

Hi list,
I had a question that none of my friends could answer exactly (we all
had our guesses :D).
What happens if you stack for example 2 ND8 filters? Will it be ND16 or
ND64 equivalent?
So I decided to order 2 more ND8 filters from EBay and done a test. But
during the tests I found out th
Even the expensive B+W 10 stop filter is having this problem based on
the experience of a friend.
The Cokin ND8 is not really considered as cheap crap :) and they made a
'revise' on their filters called 'Digital Solutions'.
I believe these filters were made first for film cameras where this is

Lensbabies are selective focus and not tilt/shift.
My solution for tilt/shift photography are:
solution 1 - freelensing:
if you don't mind being a bit on the wild side. My best freelensing lens
is a Tamron Adaptall-2 f2.5 24mm without any adaptor, so I can put the
lens a bit closer to the 'film'
Not sure what's cheap for you, but you might want to have a look at the
Hartblei and Arsat lenses:

One more thing... I've just found it:
Kipon adapters for Sony NEX-3/5 have a Nikon tilt adapter. They go
around $99. Well the only thing you need is a Sony Nex5 and a Nikon
lens :) Maybe them will be easier to borrow than a tilt-shift lens :)
Just my (another) 2 cents.

Hi,
It's the 10th Towel Day today! If you don't know what it is:

1. Sharpness

Hi,
If you are happy with the lens and will use it as it is now... then don't
touch it :)
But I do believe you can't really use the lens this way and probably a
repair wouldn't really worth it's price if it's made by a professional. So
you can give it a try, open it up and see if you can fix
It's a quite old picture (2008 I believe) one of my 'early' shots with the
