Between Nikon AF-D with AF-S Lens?
What is the difference between Nikon AF-D with Nikon AF-S lens?
Thank's.
So, first thing, I'm participating in a landscape/architecture photography competition, and though i've taken a few photos, they are gonna check over my photos on Friday, and I need to take more photos; I wanted to know how can I take really good pictures. Tips, suggestions? I'm only gonna be taking pictures around my neighborhood. Another thing is, the only camera's I have are my iPod touch, my phone, and a cheap digital Nikon. Which camera do you think would work the best?
Essilor vs Carl Zeiss which one is better?
This is a 3 part question I have high astigmatism, the cylindrical component of my prescription is about 4.5 & 5.so I'm thinking I will need high index 1.67 lenses (single vision regular glasses). But I've heard chromatic aberration is an issue in high index's & the necessity for anti glare coating?
1.so what do you guys recommend polycarbonate lenses or high index (I know its thinner & lighter)
for high astigmatism?
2. I know AR coating is recommended for my prescription. So is there any big difference between zeiss coating, crizal alize (recent crizal forte: considered the best) & platinum no glare (offered in SAM's Club)
3. Which company makes the best lenses essilor or carl zeiss. For 1.67 lenses which company's lenses has the highest abbe number (optical quality: higher the better) I know there are other players in the market such as hoya, nikon, seiko & pentax. But I assume zeiss, hoya & essilor are the major players?
I'm looking for a cheap mechanical camera to go go backpacking with, I already have a few nikon lenses i'd like to use on the trip so can you suggest a camera that is no more than about £20 that can use nikon lenses (or you can get an adapter for) and won't need batteries?
Added (1). Ok, I know the adapters cost about £20, so id want to pay much less if it wasn't a Nikon. I guess my budget would be £40 in total. I got my Nikon F90x for £35 and it works a treat (but it all electronic) so I'm on the lookout for something mechanical and cheap. I seen a Chinon and a Zenit EM for £5 and £10 recently, but I don't think you can use Nikon lenses on them or get adapters… So what other options are there? I'll be taking along a couple of toy cameras as well (my cosmic 35 and my Holga) but I l need an SlR I can use nikon lenses on… What is there?
Added (2). Got a Minolta SR3 with lenses and some other stuff into the bargain for £28. Also got a Nikon FM for £38 that I can use my Nikon lenses with. Don't know which one I'll take with me, so ill have a play with them and use them on different trips, Its all part of the fun!
and I have heard of the expression 'you get what you pay for' but I prefer 'You get what you make'… And… 'What you're asking isn't possible' … In yer face MixedMojo lol
Should I upgrade to a Nikon FM10?
So at the moment, I own a Minolta X-370 manual 35mm. So far I have been pleased with the results. However, I received some money for Christmas, and I'm considering buying a Nikon FM10. What I really like is the fact that it has an aperture preview button.
But the question is, is it worth it to buy the Nikon? Is it enough of a step up from the X-370 (which is quite basic)
Thanks for your time!

Nikon FG shutter release is stuck?
OK so I always take out the batteries when I'm not using the camera in order to preserve them and without batteries it only works in M90 or B speed/mode. So it was in 1/2 or 1/4 and I forgot that there weren't any batteries. When I pushed down the shutter it got stuck. Normally all you have to do to unstuck it is to take it M90 mode. I did but nothing happened. I put the batteries in and still nothing. It seems to be permanently stuck.
Contests- How to win a scholarship or win a contest to win money or for a DSLR Camera?
^^^^ I wasn't exactly sure how to word the title.
However, I'm wondering if there's any contests out (on the web or by mail) to win a DSLR camera
Preferably Canon or Nikon.
OR if there are any scholarships that help pay for one.
If you can post links or have any information that would be great. I'm attempting to broaden my horizons in the photography art. But simply can't afford it.
Why is the shutter on my camera not opening after I took a picture?
I have a nikon fg 35 mm camera. I've already taken about 10 shots and I took a shot and the shutter closed and it's been stuck for an hour. I took of the lens and reattached it but still nothing. The view finder is black and I've used a few rolls with this camera and nothing's happened until now. I still have 3 more exposures left until the roll is done.
SLR Brands? Possibly European?
Aside from the powerhouse brands such as Cannon, Nikon, Leica (although its not very known), Etc… What are some other brands from Europe that may not come up in our advertising but can stand up to the quality and are worth comparing when thinking about buying a camera.
Suggest me a DSLR camera that has no video?
-Must be NIKON.
-a entry level digital-SLR camera
-at most $600
