Camera Talk / Re: Convert a Nikon D800 to IR?
« Last post by golunvolo on February 11, 2026, 23:25:42 »
The D810 has EFCS at least.  Prices do not differ much.
I would go with a D810 instead.  I have a converted D800 that I will be selling soon.
 


Will you give it a chance of selling it here?

Ok, it's definitely not Autumn here at the moment
But these Turkey Tails probably showed up last year, maybe in the autumn.....

Themes, Portfolio Series, PaW, or PaM / Re: [THEME] Panorama, not stitched

A question on the name of this Theme

I get that these are like panoramas
And that we didn't use stitching to make them.

In other circumstances, many might describe the format of these images as "Letterbox" maybe?
(plus, no one expects you to need any stitching to make a Letterbox image.......  :P )

This isn't a request - just a random observation.

That's a nice one Keith, with plenty happening

Meanwhile I agonised over the white balance on this image
It looks a bit unreal, but actually the moss at the base of each tree was almost fluorescent that (grey, overcast) day
This time it's a crop from a D500 file

Camera Talk / Re: The Lens Adapter Nikon REFUSED to Build
« Last post by David H. Hartman on February 11, 2026, 19:36:36 »
I started in serious photography in 1971 with a Nikkormat FTN and 55mm f/3.5 Micro-NIKKOR-P and I do remember Nikon advertising that they would never abandon the F-mount. I have a vintage 1964~1966, 50mm f/1.4 NIKKOR-S and a 135mm f/3.5 NIKKOR-Q 1969~1973 with official Nikon AI conversion aperture rings so I can directly mount those legacy Nikkor lenses on my D850 and with an FTZ adapter I can mount those lenses on my Nikon Z8 and even get IBS. That's pretty good compatibility. It's not perfect but realistically it can't be.

I'm disappointed that the FTZ II and FTZ do not support AF with screwdriver AF and AF-D Nikkor but I don't think it's financially feasible for Nikon to offer an F to Z adapter with that functionality. I do think a firmware tweak could add a red to green single point focus indicator for legacy manual focus Nikkor lenses. One can hope for the latter.

So the 1959 F-mount has not been abandoned but perfect compatibility is not possible.

I would suggest those interested to at least watch the youtube video,

I am running win 11, and a linux ubuntu distro, on a 2nd machine albeit  in progress.

So far i have only run a simple conversion, but want to check it out some more.
What appeals me its lightweight and free and under active development.
