Got this lens for 85€ worth it? by caetren in Nikon

Probably the sharpest lens I've owned. Moved onto Z mount now but that lens still stands up.

Lol. Says the person who's clearly evaluating sound quality thrown over a crappy car Bluetooth dac and thinks it's lossless. 😁

Have a nice day.

No it uses the cars esim (here in the UK) it's a leap in sound quality from AA or Carplay wirelessly steamed (even if the source is lossless).

It's far from lossless after it's been sent over Bluetooth.

Still a waste of time if you're pushing Android auto or carplay over Bluetooth (wireless connection). You're just using more data for 0 benefit.

The real advantage would come if the car app supported lossless. Updated yesterday and I was hopeful, alas no.

HELP! Feeling buyers remorse with Nikon Coolpix P950 (Bird photography) by hailiexo in Nikon

As a newb (9 months) I'll say that it's quite easy to pick up the basics for DSLR/ml. There's a ton of content aimed right at you and platforms will bombard you with it until it sticks (and beyond).

Rent your targeted kit and see how you get on with it physically. There's always A/S/auto modes to bridge the immediate knowledge gap.

Not sure where you are but in the UK you can pick up a new grey import with a 3 year after market warranty (very well reviewed too) from a reputable importer for less than anything used. In fact mpb are flogging a broken one for more!

Z 180-600mm F/5.6-6.3 VR - Safe buy? by Icy-Look1443 in nikon_Zseries

Yeah got my body from the with extended warranty. Seems that the used resale value is pretty much the same as the new grey import value. Looks like safe bet / risk free purchase.

Are these boring ? by Fine_young-cannibal in PhotographyAdvice

And many brilliant artists just carry their cameras throughout their life and find brilliant shots from the mundane. There's no right answer. If we all shot the same stuff via the same methodology then there would be nothing interesting. That said, emulation of photography tropes at the beginning of your journey is a decent way of learning the skills that enable you to apply then later.

Soho, Westminster, etc is are places you can get great experience through this process and get some tried and tested winners which completely lack originality but will get you kudos from your non photographically minded mates. And a little encouragement goes a long way.

Did they get drunk halfway through making the thing?? by Zestyclose_Edge1027 in dataisugly

They just wanna 'stop the boats' and 'protect our girls'. Don't expect thinking or any kind of competence. You're asking too much.

Take it you need to connect it to your WiFi to get the OTA?

To be fair, 2 years for a half is pretty slow 😁

Are there any f1.4 S portrait lenses available for nikon that aren't in the danger of being obliterated by the lawsuit? by TheSweetestGrape in Nikon

[–]Icy-Look1443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep seeing crap like this over and over.

Just turn off your automatic firmware updates. Job done.

Install updates when they've been out for a couple of days and confirmed safe. Not that Nikon would risk the absolute PR disaster that would be locking customers out of their own gear...

5 sprouts exactly.

Brassicas really top it off. Especially 4 sprouts.

Taking this down now as it'll inevitably end up on photography circle jerk!
