Hey now I've had it for all of a couple days now I'm still learning its ways.

It is insane what you can do with this camera and it's 10 years old. It's not going to be my bread and butter, it will share a home with my D800 but for super low light, sports, anything where I need super good AF and high speed, this will be the ticket. I have a ton of stuff lined up for vacation in a few days so you'll see it in the upcoming Sugar Thread.

doesn't matter; there's a setting that make expanded images fit the window. so it's not relevant

curious how they made this faggot ass guideline about <1 MB filesizes <1000 resolution in one of the few boards where image quality actually matters. and image bump limit still at 150. yet, the max image filesize is actually 5 MB here contrary to 4 MB on most other blue boards
what were they thinking?

How did you know I work as a XYZ

Learning about cameras, and I have a D5600 that I've been playing with
But what place does the D5600 have in Nikons lineup? I'm not familiar with the tiers of cameras. Is this a budget camera? Is it really good at doing anything in particular? An analogy would be appreciated and maybe funny, thanks.

>>4385826

no, but it's fine. as a beginner you want a camera that's ok for everything, more than camera that's perfect for anything

Its not your last camera. Dont even worry about it.

Buy something truly nice (ie: canon, sony, hasselblad, fuji) when you are ready. Or just swap for a d750, 780, or 850 if you’re poor.

D5600 is dope, had one. Great for travel. Weighs nothing, same sensor as the 7500.

Glass is what's more important anyway, a D5600 with nice ED lenses will shit all over a D6 with an AF-D 24-120 zoom all day.

Creeping on children, another low!

That's because I have balls, while the rest of /p/ takes pictures of the backs of people's heads, argues over gear and gets crippling social anxiety taking their camera out in public.

Maybe if you grew some testicles and dropped them you could have the same fortitude as me. I walked 1000ft of elevation up Clingman's Dome @ 6600ft and the Appalachian Trail is around that corner, to get that shot, are you telling me you're not better than an out-of-shape fat fuck dragging a soccer mom camera up a mountain who hasn't seen his dick since the first Trump administration? That's the real new low, faggot.

You're not even better than a fat autistic truck driver.

This tripfag is always a sad read
>aggressively self hating ken rockwell, if ken rockwell were a worse photographer
Only time you shown self esteem for more than half a sentence is when you thought you could punch down because a stranger in a photo was asian and had your least favorite brand. Ffs yikes. Racist, yaps at strangers in photos, and fat. Would you have talked shit if he was posting that himself? No I think you hate yourself too much to be direct with a 5’6” asian photojourno larper and were excited it was just someone eggy saw. If he could have talked back you would have crumbled into another self depreciating rant.

Get a grip. Start a basic bitch routine, stop eating fried food and processed carbs, and sell all your photography junk except for the one camera and one lens you truly need (NOT the set that would be the most "epic" and "btfo/mog the ___" on /p/ according to local gearfag memes, dont be a doghair!)
Also work on getting rid of your repressed anti-asian racism, at this point in your life your only option is thai/viet chicks and their mysterious old hairy white man who isnt even rich fetish.

If you follow this advice you might one day have a life outside of dumping photos of rocks on /p/ and shooting hookers

>>4386064
Looks like an iphone shot taken after dear old dad ran around the corner honestly

Every photo youve posted ever has been riddled with accumulated slight mistakes and oversights - both artistic and technical - characteristic of someone who is not used to using or editing with their current camera yet. I can just tell when someone rivals snappiness for ewaste collection or switches kit more often than leibovitz.

What does any of this have to do with a D5600? You're arguing with a fat truck driver on the butthole of the Internet, you are the most pathetic and sad individuals I have seen, not me. /p/ sucks now because dickheads like you run off anyone who posts photos.

The only reason I haven't left is because my very existence lives rent-free in some bed-wetter's head every day who hasn't touched another woman in years and it makes my dick hard watching you devote time to me and all I'm doing is snapshitting and enjoying life.

I have a ton of shit lined up to shoot over the next couple of weeks of vacation and I can't fucking wait I'm going to have so much fun while you're here arguing over DxO scores and MTF charts, giving fake C&C and jerking off over equipment you can't afford. What a sad existence.

It's about fucking time someone actually figured me out instead of trolling and shit posting, you get the gold fucking star award, seriously.

I DO post random shit to see what sticks and I've been trying to do it without anyone noticing I'm actually doing that.

The problem with the rest of the internet is that it's a hugbox and no matter where you post to, people are going to say its good because they're used to seeing overprocessed shit on their phones which runs everything though AI and crazy image processing to look good on a screen that fits in your hand and they don't actually know what a good image is. And then you have places like Zogbook which has cultural and personal biases and you have to be PC as opposed to /p/ where people call me a nigger.

I know for a fact in every Sugar Thread there are about 5 to 10 really solid keepers out of the 150 image limit but I've posted shit that I thought sucked and /p/ liked it. I can throw shit on the wall here and filter out trolls later I don't care about people here, in my almost 15 years here I have met all of one of you in person and they don't come here anymore. Anyway, shits over and done with.

This was supposed to be a Niggon thread so let's keep it that way at some point I may be an insufferable fagtron but I do know my equipment and I've done a lot of Nikon repairs. The last one of these I helped anon get their 17-35 back together.

Then you should have made it anonymously, but you didn’t tripfag.

>>4386396

Are you talking about the part that the lens connects to the body or the hood bayonet mount? Both are fairly simple.

The lens mount to body is just remove screws and replace, the big thing is you HAVE to use JIS screws and don't use cheap shit or you'll round the heads. I used the iFixIt Manta kit that has like 80 bits in it, shits awesome. The JIS bits are labeled in it too. Make sure you keep track of the small screws on the sides of the electrical contacts they are different sizes, there's two of the same size for the contacts and three to hold the plastic light shield on the inside of the mount.

The hood mount is the common one and you have to go in from the bayonet lens mount to get to it.

This is the video I used for the hood mount, it also covers the bayonet removal. It's not too hard just keep track of the screws.

Well, enjoy micro four thirds users mocking 1: your sensors inability to outperform a d850 in the real world 2: your god awful photography that seems to actually be getting worse. You have become what you once baited, and lost to, only this little gear slapfight isnt one you can win.

I just upgraded from a D810 to a D850 and bros...worth every penny. Absolutely amazing camera, the fact I can turn it into a pseudo-D500 by shooting in DX crop is really neat. However, my old pirated Lightroom copy doesn't support D850 NEF files. Is it possible to pirate a newer version or should I finally bend the knee to Adobe?

>>4386441
I meant the body/lens mount. Thanks for the info, I'll get some screwdrivers ordered while I wait for a new mount to come from chinkland.

>>4386950
>Is it possible to pirate a newer version
I think all Adobe photo products can be pirated until they introduced AI tools, then the subscription model turned it harder to pirate due to always-online.
My fear about buying new gear is the fact some tools do not recognize new RAW files in pirated software for Windows 8.1.

I say you should check around, D850 is 2017 IIRC so there should absolutely be a pirated something for it.

>>4386950
libraw/darktable supports every raw and is enough for me, but then again i don't see the usecase for editing other than adjusting iso/gamma. i set my canons to "faithful" :)

yup just follow the video. on JIS stuff you will need to apply force in the downward direction while turning, my 24-70 had Loctite on it.

If you're worried, find some acetone and 15 minutes before working on it, put a drop on each screw head it will dissolve the threadlocker. You will want to re-apply it on assembly, I used Loctite Blue which I believe is 24200, any auto parts store will carry it. Good luck, should be an easy swap, I need to do the mount on my 50 1.2 AI-s and can't find one.

How much are functioning 300mm AF lenses going for in your area? I feel like for 150€ you could probably only spend a little more for a properly functioning one. Great lens though

>>4386950
>the fact I can turn it into a pseudo-D500 by shooting in DX crop is really neat
Uh, you can do that on a D810 too?
You get 7 FPS with a battery grip in crop mode. The D850 gives you 10 FPS with a grip.
And of course it's possible to pirate LR, you fucking ingrate.

>>4387341
>Uh, you can do that on a D810 too?
The reach difference is too big, the D850 almost has D500 reach.
D500: 20.9MP
D850 DX mode: 19.4MP
D810 DX mode:15MP
It's more of a pseudo D7000.

>>4387358
Wao, you get a gold star. You pressed buttons on the calculator and pointed out 4 whole megapixels everyone else ignored. Good job squirt.

>>4387370
I just googled, I could calculate the reach difference too

>>4387372
Wow you are so helpful and full of relevant and useful information. Can we see your photos, oh great master?

>>4387380
I'm not the shitstirrer calling D850 anon an ingrate for celebrating the reach of his camera compared to the D810.

>>4387385
Can we see your photos where being off by four megapixels ruined the shot

If I use an APS-C lens on Z7 II can I shoot full frame images? or does it to retard DRM / handholding shit forcing the image to DX crop mode?
Not sure what to expect.
Interested in picking up cheap crop telephoto but I would like to shoot squares and crop later in post. If I can just shoot fullframe and crop later that would be perfect. Might even crop circles.

>>4387389
Easy, the Saturn shot lmao. Not ruined but could be even better. Also fuck you for giving me GAS again, I was fine until today and now I feel a compulsion to waste money for reach. Luckily the Q10 isn't a reflex or there would be one in my cart already.

>>4387395
The blurry green and yellow dot that proved cropping is for snapshits and there’s no replacement for a big sensor and a long lens?

>>4387395
Why do I see you mention this Saturn snapshit every time I come to this board? What's the obsession over it? Have you never owned a cheap telescope or even tiny pair of binoculars before? Why are you so obsessed with taking a shitty photo if it?

I really don't get it. I was 7 the first time I looked at Saturn through a pair of cheap Tasco binoculars. It was exciting. Is this what you're currently going through, just very late in life like a total casual?

>>4387409
We’re not sure it was even saturn. It could have been a UFO or a weather balloon. It was merely a green and yellow dot that was where he thought saturn might have been.

Maybe if it actually looked like saturn, we’d know for sure!

>>4387408
I unironically wanted a Four Thirds at one point, the Evolt E-5. But then I ran the math and found the extra reach was negligible compared to what I had (same pixel pitch as a 18MP Rebel) so I got a 2X TC instead.
The viewfinder reach on those is unmatched though, only the K-3 III comes close.
>>4387409
Because it's a great target to test reach with. Telescopes don't impress me as much, they're one trick ponies.Seeing the rings with a "regular" photo lens is actually impressive.

>>4387411
now post it so we can laugh

>>4387411
>i'm autistic
Oh. Well seeing Saturn's rings with a "regular photo lens" (?) is very simple and getting excited over it is retarded. You really do just come across as someone who had a boring childhood over this.

>>4387412
Not shot on Nikon, not going to derail this thread.

>>4387413
Being able to photograph what the naked eye can't see will never not be interesting. Be it super tele, macro, IR, UV, high speed or countless other things. False color film is interesting too, especially when you're good enough to visualize the final image before developing it.

>>4387411
>Telescopes don't impress me as much, they're one trick ponies
What does this even mean? You can use a telescope for terrestrial use too. Would that be "impressive" as well? Does it go both ways?

>Seeing the rings with a "regular" photo lens is actually impressive
The average "regular" photo lens is far more technologically advanced than the average telescope. Also at the end of the day, focal length is focal length. Why you're treating one differently than the other is a mystery. You just come across as a dork when you make posts like this.

>>4387415
What does that have to do with a snapshit, and what does it have to do with said snapshit being taken with a "regular photo lens" or a telescope, or any other magnifying instrument?

You really just saw the rings of Saturn for the first time in your life and couldn't get over it, lmao. Just admit it, you're a late bloomer.

>>4387416
>What does this even mean? You can use a telescope for terrestrial use too. Would that be "impressive" as well? Does it go both ways?
The minimum focusing distance quickly becomes a problem.

>>4387419
>The minimum focusing distance quickly becomes a problem.
No it doesn't, you can focus most telescopes well under 100 feet. Also you're the one obsessing over reach and shooting things that are far away. With a telescope you can take a photo of a distant cell phone tower or anything else you obsess over with a "regular photo lens". You're the fag always going on about being able to shoot things you can't get closer to, don't start bringing up min focus distance.

>Because the photo lens is portable and ready to produce pictures at any given moment.
You're embarrassing and your schizo word salads are always sad. You contradict yourself all the time and never really know what you're trying to say.

>>4387421
Don't make fun of him for being poor. Make fun of him for hanging around a photography board without ever posting photos and being overly impressed with the few terrible snapshits he has managed to produce.

You haven't proven you can't take a competent photo with any equipment. Aren't you embarrassed by the fact anyone can search archives for your trip and find nothing but retarded snapshits?

>>4387428
I'd be embarrassed if those were truly representative of my work, lel. Most of my current work is boring though, being technical in nature. But I've done portraits that are currently on billboards in my country's capital city. I've done art photography that won awards. I've done commercial photography that gathered customers.
So no, I am immune to the embarrassment of having snapshits on an imageboard.

The odd time I interact with cANON I end up feeling like I'm picking on him but then remember the only thing I make fun of him for is not posting photos.

>>4387429

cANON, if you can't produce a few throwaway photos that are even marginally good for the sake of the photo board you frequent, it tells me you just aren't that good at photography. If you can only post the absolute worst of the worst, then more than likely your best photos are simply average.

>>4387433
You're right it's more sad than funny. He's a pathological liar with no skills or money. Optics are just a novelty to him, he's a total casual who basically just likes to look at things that are far away or small, or just make things look funny. He's like a child.

Nothing really, good solid all-around fool frame camera. It's a D600 with some quality of life updates. See if you can check how many shutter actuations it has had.

For 300 bucks you can get a good D800. Don't be retarded.
D600 is a toy.

>>4390013

A well-used one, maybe.

>>4390013
The D610 is damn good camera for the price.

a $200-$300 D800 will be beat to shit with high SC. $400 will get him a good one.

>>4390042

That's almost what I paid for my 800 with 14k clicks. 499 from a brick and mortar.

D800 is the best all-arounder FF Nikon money can buy, I own a few. D4 is kind of a one-trick pony but a very good one. 810 is a QOL update on the 800, 850 is still a little pricey. 700 is a nice cam a little long in the tooth these days but still makes a good image in good hands.

36mp becomes 24 in DX mode, was my walkaround in Ireland with a 35 ART.

>>4389987
I recommend avoiding nikon DSLRs. They are poorly made and F mount can’t adapt shit. They have better sensors (via sony) but thats it, hi iso noise and shadow recovery.

Look for a canon 5div or 6d2
Only dare touch a d750 if you cant afford either canon
Do NOT buy nikon DSLRs other than the d750 or d850, they were kludges then and are kludges like Z bodies are now. Nikon has never been exceptionally good. Actually, sony DSLRs were a lot better but had almost zero professional lenses.

>>4390054
Weak bait

>>4390045
>36mp becomes 24 in DX mode
You mean 15?

>>4390063
Like it or not if you’re not a 24/7 pixel peeper the body layout of the d750 is much more usable and the 24mp sensor holds on to color detail and vibrance at higher ISOs a lot better.

It’s also more compact. A big one when DSLRs are the big ones.
The D850 is fat but is the only good HR DSLR because sonys switch to SLT tech sucked ass (super early mirrorless) and the 5ds had no tilty screen, a useless AA filter and a pretty shit sensor

>>4390066
Just go away, retardfag

>>4390067
>nooo muh cult classic camera noooo
36mp is not worth nikons retarded old style button layout, extra size and a fixed screen

>>4390073
>Old style button layout
Its the only dslr layout I ever liked.

So UW-Nikkor lenses are only able to focus properly underwater. Does that mean it would also focus properly if I attach a filter to one of these lenses to trap some water against the front element and then shoot it out of water? Or does the focus design rely on the entire scene being underwater instead of just a few mm of water in front of the lens?

Just got paid today & looking to buy a new camera. Quick, do I buy a open box/low shutter D850 or a Canon R5 for around mid $2k?

Context, my father just bought 2 RF lenses (28-70 F2 chode & 85 mm 1.2) to pair with his new R5 MKII alongside his very old 5D MK II lenses (70-200 L I & 17-35MM 2.8 I think and 24-75 L or something)

I don't want to get his hand me down 5d II and would rather purchase either my own Nikon D850 open box with some cheap lenses or a hannukah B&H special R5 for $2699 + the battery grip pack ($349 free)

>>4390424
D850 for battery life and cheaper (and worse) lenses
R5 for autofocus and video

>>4390440
Thanks I'll make a actual thread now cause I need a lot of opinions.
Worse compared to early Canon L lenses? (2012 below)

>>4390442
Nah I meant worse compared to the newer Z/RF mount lenses

Is the Zfc any good? I mean, if I have the budget, I would probably go for the Zf

>>4390489
its a crop sensor camera sharing the same questionable control choices they made for the Zf, but with very few native (dx) lenses
but hey still better than a fuji

>>4390421
Never heard of that, but the last refractive surface will still be glass-air, so I doubt that this would work.
But I don't know what lens it is or on what principle it works...

>>4390491
ah yes. didn't think about DX lenses.
yeah, Nikon sucks at those.
FTZ won't help that much either.

>>4390491
What makes it better than a fuji?

they get the 10% of photographers that are drama queens about hating sony and refuse to use one - mostly just nikon fanboys mad at other brands (sony) for doing a better job.

UW Nikkors rely on the entire scene being underwater. Light travels differently underwater and everything is magnified a small amount because of it. Water acts kind of like a screw-on close up lens.

Here's a great example of this, shot on an Ikelite housing

Is there much of a performance difference between the 20mm f/2.8 AI and AF lenses? I intend to pick one up but can't decide which.

>>4386441
Thanks for this vid, the bayonet mount swap went smoothly and I saved myself a lot of money.

>>4391062

In some cases, no difference. Many of the early AF and AF-D lenses are optically identical to their AI counterparts.

The current 50/1.8 AF-D Nikon still sells is optically nearly identical to the original 50 Series E pancake but with better coatings.

Who the fuck is still buying these things brand new?

>>4391671
Real pros who need heavy duty machines

>>4391671
Boomers (especially fat ones) who are now too old to think rationally about this stuff without getting tired/confused and just follow their conditioning

It’s "professional" so it must be the best!

There needs to be a max age for having gearpinions desu

No, seriously, why is nikon even making these things when the z9 exists?

the sensor size to body ratio is funny

anybody have the z8? im thinking about getting one but kinda scared about rolling shutter, especially because i want to get into video and airshows

would anyone know why my camera is just taking black photos?
it's a nikon d50,received it in a box full of old cameras (most non functioning) with no other info
one of the batteries just barely works, enough to know that the camera functions fine otherwise, and the sd card has a single pic in it from 2012

shutter seems to function normally
but it keeps sensing that the light is too low

and yes, i removed the lens cap

>>4392279
Well, what are your exposure settings? It's a slow lens and you have a filter too, could just be that dark inside for your settings.

>>4392279
Did you take off the lens cap?
Turn on auto iso- shoot at lamp
Or max iso by holding iso button and rotating command dial and shoot at lamp
Make sure if lens has aperture ring it's set at highest aperture for electronic aperture control
Make sure aperture is wide open by checking lcd/viewfinder
Set in manual mode and use slow shutter speed (like 1 sec) along with wide open aperture and max iso
Ensure mirror plaps when taking a shot
If you still get black images after all that sensor is prolly borked?

>>4392287
>>4392295
i messed with a lot of the settings and saw no change
but i don't know much about cameras aside from a few basics, and this camera is more complex/different than my regular one so i couldn't do everything

tried with the other lens it came with and same results
even shined a flashlight into it and it was still pitch black
the mirror works fine, including everything else from what i can tell
how might i check the condition of the sensor? and if it is fucked, how hard/expensive would it be to fix?

Can you post images samples so we can see the EXIF data or verify your exposure settings using this image as a reference for the numbers?
Like aperture, shutter speed, and iso would help

>>4392386
can't really see if sensor is dead btw, with these normally you see image degradation like green/purple lines and corruption ruining every shot but that doesn't sound like your issue. Have you tried putting it in auto and shooting at a lamp?

this is just on auto at my wall with normal lighting, with the second lens (i couldn't tell you the name, its a long boy though)
shutter speed shows 4 and aperture f4

A fucked sensor basically means the camera is done for.
Fucked shutter can be fixed but usually costs too much to be worth.
>Mirror works fine
As in, it flips down when you release the shutter? If it's staying in place at a slanted angle that means the mirror is not working correctly, since it's just beaming the light from the lens into the viewfinder (how optical viewfinders work). When you press the shutter button it should flip down to allow the sensor to see that light instead.

>>4392392
Yeah looks like you definitely should be getting something instead of a pure black picture. Don't suppose you have another mem card to test with? I doubt that is it though...

>>4392393
To add on to this you can try sticking it in its sensor cleaning mode and take off the lens. That should flip the mirror up so you can ensure the mirror... flips up.

it plaps normally to my eyes, making contact at the top, but i guess this is a bad slant it has in its "resting" state?

>>4392396
tried different card, same result

>>4392403
The angle is normal. It's how it bends light into the viewfinder.
>>4392407
Everything looks fine here.

I'm afraid this is getting narrowed down to likely something internal. You'd have to open the camera up to see, and even then you really need to know what you're looking for unless you're lucky and a ribbon cable is clearly fucked.

If the shutter, sensor, memory card, mirror, and lens are all fine, then you now have two options:
>a) Take it to a repair shop ($$$)
>b) Look up a youtube fix video and try it yourself ($)

>>4392403
>>4392407
All normal. Googling your problem looks like there have been a few people over the years with the same issue. Looks like sensor/shutter failure. One more thing you can try is to set it in manual and take a picture with the lens off while watching to see if the shutter works. I don't think it's the shutter though since you'd only get black pictures if the shutter had gotten stuck covering the sensor which isn't the case here.

i think i read somewhere the other day that a bad battery could somehow fuck it, which doesn't make much sense to me but would be great if true
all the cards i'm using are also old, so *maybe* that could be it; in any case, i ordered new batteries and cards so i can cross that off when they get here in a few days
i'll wait on those before i attempt to disassemble the thing myself, unless someone else can gleam some more information

>>4392415
i did test it with and without the lens in manual, it seemed fine to me, but all still black
the mechanism to control the shutter seems to function correctly and i can see it operate when i look into the lens

this is the one pic that was on the card that was in it
pretty sure this thing would have been stored in a somewhat cool/cold garage or closet since 2012 or so

Good evening, my NIKKORS.
Take any cool pictures of rocks, leaves or trees today?

Did you know that making any color photo into b&w turns it into fine art?

Its probably more like an african news agency that literally cant afford better and has a somali fortune in now totally unsupported af-d lenses. Nikon needs every customer they can get because their entire camera division is doing less in revenue than the a7iv.

They are definitely not more durable. DSLRs are actually more failure prone.

>>4392873
>DSLRs are actually more failure prone.
That's debatable. I'd definitely be more wary of changing lenses in dubious weather on the Z mount than on a DLSR. If you're talking shutter / mirror failure from wear in clinical conditions, then possibly.
