Thanks John.

I asked, because many of my Agfa CT18 slides are so afflicted with various shades of green and deep purple colour castes that they are well beyond recovery - even to B&W.

My Kodachrome slides are still OK - OK that is if you can live with their blueish caste and how Kodak colour "science" of the day was baked into the film and presented to Kodachrome users.

I am not sure, Hugh. I am now working on a digital restore only because a part of the original slides got lost or damaged beyond repair.

Example of the original.

Lens Talk / Focus bar graph when manually toucing up focus: Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S on Z8

« Last post by David H. Hartman on Today at 02:02:47 »

When i touch up focus with the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S on my Nikon Z8 a focus bar graph appears with a flower and infinity symbol. This with both the viewfinder and monitor when "Simple" is selected in Custom Settings d19 and d20. The only way i've found to get rid of it is touch AF-ON which defeats the manual focus touch up or turn off "Simple" in d19 and d20. It seems useful but when composing I'd like it gone. Am I missing something? Searching on the Web and the manual for the lens got me no hits.

I'd really like it to disappear with a half press of the shutter release. I guess my old technique of AF then touch up focus if necessary by moving the camera and lens together slightly will work. That AF then move the camera and lens is how i usually worked with the AF-S 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-D Micro-NIKKOR.
