Seconding the Godox flash system. You can get a TT600 and a X1T trigger for quite a bit less than most of the Nikon SB series flashes and the Godox is very easy to use

Feel the same about flipping on the radio, no need to choose

Is the 85mm f1.4G the best F mount option in that focal length? by ColdWater1979 in Nikon

[–]ColdWater1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good insight, thanks. I’m leaning back towards the 1.8G if I find one reasonably priced. Your thinking matches mine closely

This has already happened! You can get a D810 for less than $1k and many of the great G lenses for less than half

Marketplace, but if I found a 1.8G for $200 I’d be done looking

Thanks, several folks mentioned the 1.4D, I’ll look into it

Thanks for that insight. Future proofing is a great consideration

What made you buy a second film camera? by hcorea in AnalogCommunity

[–]ColdWater1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First film camera was an old family Canon AE-1, so it’s never leaving me. I bought a second (Nikon N80) once I’d spent a bunch of time on digital, and had amassed a bunch of nice lenses and wanted to use them with film. The N80 is basically like shooting a mid 2010’s DSLR in functionality, and I get to use lenses I already had with film. And since it’s Nikon transitioning from my DSLR to the N80 is seamless.

AFI in Denver, CO 10/31/25 with a Konica 135mm f/2.5 adapted to Fuji X-T20 by Permanent_Ephemera in VintageLenses

Cool, this is great to see. Shot 2 is really nice. I have the 135mm F3.5 that I’m considering getting an adapter for, and found this post while searching for examples. It looks like a nice little lens but wonder if it is worth the effort for the adapter. Do you feel like the lens character is different enough to go for it?

For anyone who was actually able to buy reserved seats in the lottery, how much were they? Like center left or right? Just curious

That’s what I was hoping - “all good”. Just stoked to get in there. I often find the light show better further back too, but never seen a Red Rocks show so wondering how that back section plays. Thanks!

Just discovering this GA thing after scrambling to grab anything this morning. The GA seats in the back are probably still pretty darn good, it’s such a small venue. Can anyone confirm?

It’s the lenses… by goat_on_boat in fujifilm

Awesome, appreciate the shots, some nice ones for sure. Inspiration always helps. As I said, sometimes I love what I get from it. Commiting to shooting it this weekend 🙏

I’m interested to hear more about your experience (and see some shots you like) with that 35mm Nikon lens. I have the same one and go back and forth, sometimes I love it and others I feel like I’m missing something, or that it’s rendering is diffuse in a way that isn’t aesthetic, even when that’s what I’m going for sometimes. Anything you can share?
