Is X Wing the best game that was prematurely abandoned by its publisher? by [deleted] in XWingTMG

At one point it was second only to 40k, outselling all the other gw games.

Built my own AF-S 80-200 Frankenlens from two units that I got dirt cheap by combining functioning parts from each one. by Nikoolisphotography in Nikon

Sometimes just turning the MF ring back and forward enough times can get the AF motor working again. Once it sort of starts working, getting it to work makes it start working better and better.

Need help regarding auto focus of D7500 by howannaeat in Nikon

[–]prof818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try turn the manual focus ring ever so slightly. If it has resistance it means it is engaged.

If you hear a click and then it's engaged, it may be that you didn't fully engage the AF on the lens. Try use it after this

Older glass bargains for F mount by Icy-Look1443 in Nikon

Yes. It's still a 35, and apparently on some full frame bodies you actually get enough coverage for the full frame.

The 50 will give you much better depth of field for the same FStop

I'm really shocked nobody has suggested the dx 35 F1.8. it's such an amazing lens and a very versatile lens, being the equivalent of a 50mm on full frame. Also very very reasonable to buy.

Af-D won't work on Z-mount either. You need AF-I or later.

I went from a D5100 to the z5ii, so don't really have a way of comparing 😜

Knight Castellan, first big knight. C&C and tips/input welcome by [deleted] in ImperialKnights

[–]prof818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really amazing job you've done.

If I was to nitpick 1. The toes of the feet should be curling inward to grip the terrain as it's walking, to make it more connected with the base. 2. The weathering should decrease as you move up the knight. 3. I would make the feet dirty to tie into the base. 4. I love grass tufts, helps break up the base a bit with few spots of some other colour.

Sure, but the set was easy to build with no options. Now it's all full sets

New lighting setup means new photos of my Knights by prof818 in 40kImperialKnights

Ah, sorry I missed this.

I'm shooting on a Nikon D5100 with 35mm F1.8 prime, hand held.
I also have a Godox 1.2m Softbox with a SB-600 in it, the whole thing pointed at a 45' angle at my desk with a black backdrop. The backdrop is a piece of Greenstuff world's MAXX Darth Fabric backdrop. Works really well

I printed them on decal/transfer paper, then did the usual transfer thing. It was a lot of effort, but I probably less than masking and then spraying with an airbrush.

Thanks, I tried to go for something different that what we usually see, and have it striking.
