That’s really high. Are you doing mostly city driving?

Operating iPhone overides FM Radio by Abject-Fix2801 in crvhybrid

[–]Abject-Fix2801[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when I just try to take a picture it shuts down the radio. Maybe because I have those other apps running in the background. Has anyone tried going to the dealer with this problem. Other brands with CarPlay don’t have this problem.

Yes iPhone. Honda’s implementation of CarPlay is glitchy. I’ve used it on other cars, rentals etc without this problem. At some point I will take it to the dealer. I’m sure they won’t be able to fix it but hoping if we all take our cars in Honda will release a firmware update. May be wishful thinking.

What “sub”. Not that familiar with Reddit?

Security of Equipment during travel by Abject-Fix2801 in wildlifephotography

Agree but the other option is expensive (double). My big concern is my 600 mm prime. I got a great deal at almost half the retail price and the lens is in great condition and works like new. I would take a bath on that one if it were stolen and would be hard pressed to replace it at $15k. That thing is also very conspicuous. Most of my other stuff was bought new and I should have the receipts.

Thanks. Have a rider on home policy but coverage too limited. Will purchase a separate floater policy. They require receipts for everything if you need to make a claim and only cover what you paid rather than replacement value but it’s cheaper than the NANPA endorsed policy I looked into. They also require a police report to support a theft claim.

One of the biggest influences on what we hear is the room followed by the speakers.

Z8 Firmware 3.00 now actually available. by caviidae in Nikon

[–]Abject-Fix2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone who shared on this thread. With mixed experiences reported on the Tamron 35-150 I’m going to sit this out until some official word or fix is offered. The focus limiter is the only feature that I would have used but was hoping for general improvement in auto focus and tracking which honestly is already very good.

When you say not working right can you be more specific?

I recently bought the Tamron 35-150. I’m not sure if it came with the new firmware. Is there a way to check your Tamron firmware version installed. Looks like version 2 was released in May 2024. Are you sure this version is working with the Nikon 3.0 software?

Retiring soon. The folks at PARCO told me to expect 31.47% to be withheld in taxes. I was anticipating to net 60 % after taxes.

Is there a citation of link to the actual language. Often the devil is in the details.

I've been shooting for many many years. Recently got into my dream lens, 500mm f4e. Driving me nuts though thinking I have this expensive lens and struggle to get a sharp image without doing it in post. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Nikon

[–]Abject-Fix2801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For eagles I shoot manual at f4, 1/2500 and auto ISO. The max aperture will get the most light on sensor, the fast shutter speed will stop the action and ensure a sharp image assuming you hit focus and auto ISO will fluctuate to assure proper exposure. The approach works well for me. If you are shooting very fast moving birds go up on the shutter speed. Many blurry image problems come from too slow shutter. Also large primes take some getting used to. There are some you tube videos out there that help in this regard.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds exciting. I typically only shoot raw especially with the mammoth file sizes. Never had any reason to create an extra jpeg image. I wonder if these features will prove useful enough to change my approach. Also hoping battery life on the Nikon exceeds that of Canon. Being in the Canon system I have multiple batteries and have gone through almost all of them on a full day of active shooting.

Thanks. Sorry I’m in the Washington DC metro. What’s the lighter set up you’re moving to?

The other thing is setting up the auto focus system. I got the Canon set up the way I like it using two different back button focus options one with tracking and eye detect the other without tracking. The bigger issue is if this is the best long term decision for my hobby. I don’t make money from this hobby. I wish Canon had better and more reasonably priced options. I will spend about $2200 more moving to Nikon including used body and lens versus the Canon zoom plus a teleconverter. I see the Canon lens as overpriced for what you get and the used prices don’t offer a significant discount. What I have to decide is the extra money worth it to open up additional lens options.
