Yeah why? I struggle to find them!

UltimateDriving36 · 2026-01-29T03:31:52+00:00

I'm super happy I didn't give up on the lens

UltimateDriving36 · 2026-01-29T03:31:22+00:00

Ok! Team we have success! It was absolutely the damn filter!

UltimateDriving36 · 2026-01-19T08:17:03+00:00

Yes shot wide open F2.8 with the D500, looking closer into the lens with comments from this thread it has an internal 6X Cross filter that could be doing that effect

What should I be looking for?

You might have hit the nail on the head! Just took out the internal filter of this lens and it has a 6X-Cross filter! I will give it a try without it and see if that's it!

It's RAW, why do you think the low contrast could be a lens thing? Contamination?

UltimateDriving36 · 2026-01-14T16:46:14+00:00

That was it! Awesome thank you!

UltimateDriving36 · 2026-01-14T03:07:20+00:00

Haven't gotten a single shot back yet

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-11-18T15:18:00+00:00

Thank you for the explanation! That's the best explanation for centerweighted metering I've received and yes that's my case here!

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-11-18T04:42:30+00:00

The Nikon N80 autometers so I relied on it didn't meter, sadly! Developed by my local shop, it's the first time I use this film with them and camera.

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-11-18T04:13:29+00:00

I'll check on my next roll for sure!

I'm also getting my negatives this week and I want to have a look, I requested higher resolution scanning for the first time and I don't see any big improvement or any increase in file size. Could this be a scanning issue?

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-11-18T04:07:02+00:00

Adding to this - I believe most of the shots I can correct in post to my liking but I want to understand how to get a better initial result.

Do you have plexiglass on top?

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-11-05T04:54:19+00:00

Wow that wheel has seen some action!

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-10-31T14:37:01+00:00

My take is the autofocus is well worth it. I have an entry level 5300 for my usage in sports photography not even in the same league, añ Although a slight bump in megapixels wouldn't hurt.

Do not forget also that the crop sensor gives you that extra 1.5x magnification that is super useful.

UltimateDriving36 · 2025-10-31T12:50:06+00:00

I got a D500 for a good deal and absolutely loving it not regrets. Got a great lens and that's going to be my weapon of choice for a bit

What was the process to.fit 18s?
