I'm a little disappointed as well with the lack of news on D200/D100s. But I guess the intro of D50 makes sense for Nikon businesswise. This is where the money is at. And once you get newbies hooked up to the F-mount, lens purchases will go up as well. I read in an article earlier today that...

Hahaha. This thread made my day.

No. Cameras just don't go with 'Silver'.

Actually, VR is a feature used to compensate camera+lens movement, NOT useful for sports or subjects of fast movement. @seraphim: What sports is it? You have to determine the usual angle and focal length that is appropriate for that particular sports. For basketball games, I personally use...

ML-L1 is much more sturdier, built like a car key remote. It has a small hole in one corner, to attach to a keychain, etc.

I think the significantly different ambient (flash vs BG), and the subject's movement due to long exposure made all of you think it's a PS job. Time to buy a flash gel/filter, mate ;) .

Maybe your friend's apartment's ceiling is higher? or have lower 'bounce effect' due to darker paint? I'm just throwing several possible reasons at you.

I'm happy with my D70, 10 months old and counting...Still excellent!

This happened to me before, after fiddling with the settings when I just got the camera. It was user error, though. Are you sure that it's set at AF-S (where image must be in focus to allow shutter to be released) instead of AF-C? Check that the AE/AF button is not assigned AF-On. I had it...

Thanks, King Tiger. I'm aware of the early post on this thread mentioning about how the Canon Angle Finder being able to fit a D70/D100. Just wanted to double-check. Anyway, I managed to get the DR-5 to stand upright. I applied a slight force during the twisting, and waalaa, the DR-5 could...

I just got a DR-5, and I can confirm that it fits onto my D70 if combined with the Nikon eyepiece adapter (Mfr. #2370). But, I can't figure out how to get it to be upright. If I screw the eyepiece adapter tightly onto the DR-5, it's not aligned horizontally. Hence, fitted onto my D70, the...

Ouch! That's unfortunate. Thanks for the info. Is it physically/technically impossible, or there is just no adapter out in the market yet? The guy running the www.dslrexchange.com website said he's just started working on the adapter for the Nikon mount. I better clarify with him, whether it...

Correct! :thumbsup: They're the Carl Zeiss lenses used in the Contax G series. But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the mount that is used in the Contax G series called the T*-mount?

Those pictures are really great! I've got a Contax Zeiss T* mount 28 f/2.8, 45mm f/2.8 and 90mm f/2.8 that I really want to try on my Nikon D70. My search for the required adapter has been fruitless. :( .

I'm on the same boat as you. I have a Contax Carl Zeiss (T* mount) Biogon 28mm f/2.8 that I would like to use on my Nikon camera. From a post on the FredMiranda forum, a member is working (with a friend of his, who is a machinist) on creating one for the EOS mount. He said that he's just...
