Thanks, just ordered it

I think I need the genuine Nikon USB Cable UC-E22 cable. The cable I am using is from an old WD HD

I have acquired a second-hand Nikon D810 (body only) and have a question regarding what you get from New. I am trying to get Nikon Capture Utility to work so I can use the D810 as a webcam for Zoom but I suspect the cable I have is not compatible. Does anyone have the USB cable which is...

Thanks, It was the extension tube So how are you supposed to use these tubes if they mess up the Aperture reading

Hello Phil, yes it's been a long time :) Miscommunication, you might be onto something here, so basically, the camera knows there is a lens attached but doesn't know how to talk to it.?

I used to know the answer to this question but I have forgotten. I am testing some old Nikon Lenses on my Nikon D3 and some of the older lenses are showing strange Values in the Aperture readout. In this image, I have a 35mm D lens coupled to an extension tube. What does this strange reading...

What will this do for you

Thanks i shall have a read of that

Does anyone have a good source for quality bulk loading cassettes. The last lot I bought are shredding fibres from the felt trap like crazy.

Yea I can see how that would scratch the film. The AP ones are really nice compared to this Watson one.

This was on the first 6 frames form a new roll of film. It might have been because it was the first run out of the loader after inserting the new roll. Maybe I scratched it somehow as I was putting it through the slot and then closing the side casing. I have one of these with some HP5 in and it...
