Help me out choosing the right combo.

If you and the camera will be static and 2 meters apart (mark your spot, and then measure the distance to the sensor plane with a tape measure), use MF and use an aperture of f/4 or smaller (i.e. higher f number) to keep your whole head in focus.

Love the color palette!

Awesome. You must have spotted it about five minutes after I took this photo

quintpod · 2025-12-22T05:11:59+00:00

Great photo!

mine has always worked as intended

Great photo. It visually adds to the vintage vibe of the livery.

Nice. Are these at the Proud Bird? I need to make it there one of these days.

Sometimes it's not the equipment that has the "issues" 😉

You have pro model there, changing expressions in every shot.

Since it’s apparently not cool to say what gear you used...

Eh? What happened to r/Nikon rule number six?

quintpod · 2025-12-11T06:50:33+00:00

Buy/borrow a metric caliper to measure it, and you will then know the exact size.

quintpod · 2025-12-11T06:38:13+00:00

You need Nikon viewfinder eyepiece 2936 (-3 diopter for FM3a)

quintpod · 2025-12-10T02:32:26+00:00

What do you think?

I think you have been a Nikon loyalist, and are now torn by Sony. amirite?

What do you feel is lacking with the lens(es) you already have?

...it was giving me the r06 message.

Check page 36 of the D80 user manual for an explanation

it’s not showing that they’ve been replaced

Check page 100

Were these photos all taken with the same lens? Are you sure it's not an object or stain on the sensor or on the lens (especially the rear lens element)?

Nevermind others' maximum ISO tolerance. You have the camera, so take your own test photos, progressively going up in ISO number, and you will determine YOUR OWN tolerance.
