Mild = 38C, 100F. Warm = 40C, 105F. Kinda Hot = 43C, 110F. Hot = 46C, 115F. Really Hot = 49C, 120F. So it looks like it might get Hot a day or two next week.

Forums were down for 29 minutes, 17-July. Anything interesting to report?

It was 27C @ 5 AM in my neck of the woods.

Pics of the 500/5.6 PF at the Nikon World Cup party. It looks tiny for a 500mm lens. I really hope the price is under the $4k mark, instead of the rumored $4300 price.

Hopefully the rumored price for the Nikkor 500/5.6 PF is just that; a rumor. Realistically the mid $3k mark should be the final price. Say... $3496. Then the 600/5.6 can be $4396. Again the IQ has to be there for those prices. Better than the 200-500/5.6 level but a bit behind the 500/4 &...

^^^ I wish it was the 600mm @ $4300. DO/PF may not reduce the weight a whole lot, but length of lens is shortened quite a bit.

The rumored price of the new Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF (DO) lens is $4300. With that price the lens better have stellar IQ all the way to the corner of the frame. The lens will be about 24cm in length which is approximately 15cm shorter than the current 500mm f/4E lens.

Well I can dump my Nikon gear and switch over to Sony now. I'm kidding Lunar. Sony unveils their new 400mm f/2.8.

New SD card spec in the works. Quote from a PetaPixel article, "The new Ultra Capacity (UC) designation will mean capacities of up to 128 terabytes and the “Express” designation will mean transfer speeds of up to 985 megabytes per second." More info.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice.....or however the saying goes....

The Canon 600/4 DO will be a 10-12k lens I'm sure. Way out of the price league of a f/5.6. Re-thinking my post, I agree a 600/5.6 PF would be a lot better received than the 500/5.6 PF. And going by the comments on the Nikon Rumors site this seems to be the case. The demand for the 500 may be...

Sorry to hear about your mother. My mom is 82 now. So I'll be where your at in 4 or 5 years. As far as the video card goes the front is completely covered by the HSF and the rear is all surface mount components. I don't have the skill/tools to fix any blown parts. Pics of Titan here. Well...

From Nikon Rumors, "Nikon officially announced the development of the previously rumored AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens." Smart announcing the 500mm before a 600mm f/5.6 PF/DO lens. They can price the 500mm rather decently, then price gouge the 600mm f/5.6 a year later. Although the...

Welcome back jtr. Are video cards even repairable? I always have the worst luck with CS reps so I doubt EVGA will do anything. I could have swore I bought the 10y warranty but alas I only paid $30 to get bumped to 5y. That's what I'm doing now. Using the motherboard intel HD-4000 cpu...

My excellent luck strikes again! My $1065 video card (EVGA branded signature/SC, original 1st-gen Titan) purchased 5y3m ago just shit the bed. Three months after the extended warranty ended. I got "snow/static" on the screen then system crash. 4k monitor works fine via motherboard display...

Which GPU? CPU & GPU links are the same.

DD's new case. The Corsair 1000D.

Back on sale for $150.

Pro's, and rich amateurs can afford a $12k f/4 lens. Regular folks have the $1-2k 150-600/6.3 and 200-500/5.6 zooms. A 600/5.6 PRIME will be sharper, have faster AF, and have better build quality but will be a half step below for f/4. Center sharpness will be almost the same as the f/4 with...

I think the lower cost will be the main attraction for a 600/5.6 lens. It has to be less then the $12.4k 600/4.

Looks like, maybe, possibly, a new 600mm f/5.6E PF (DO) lens is in the works.

I think I may have lost my seldom used/SPAM Yahoo email. I'm not 100% sure if there was a purge, I was hacked or I'm entering the wrong password. ALSO Postimage.org changed their URL so all my linked images no longer work. :(

Well I guess buckling springs is out. And since it won't have buckling springs, it's not a really a keyboard, so I guess I can't help you. /s ...but seriously, good luck finding a quality keyboard that's not some gaming clown-show of a keyboard.

Not routing the 8-pin motherboard cable under the motherboard=insta-fail. Appearance > Performance. SMH. <facepalm> /s

This. So much this. For me this applies not just to computers; also i simply want: internet, car, HVAC, major appliance(s), TV/Audio/BRD,etc) to just work. 100.00% of the time. Every time. All the time.

Win98: 1998-2007. WinXP: 2007-2013. Win7: 2013-? Compared to me you're a hard worker Sed.

Lunar, 100 GB is a lot less preferable than 100 TB.

"Irvine, CA, March 19, 2018 – Nimbus Data, a pioneer in flash memory solutions, today announced the ExaDrive® DC100, the largest capacity (100 terabytes) solid state drive (SSD) ever produced."

This. So much this. I'm pretty much against all IoT products. The sprinkler controller in my house is nearly impossible to figure out how to program. Very archaic but it's nearly 20 years old, I'm sure they are better now. The automatic sprinkler system at my house fell apart less than...

Wasn't/Isn't there a guy on Hard|forums selling w10 keys? Or was it w7 keys?

Get your certs. Get entry level IT job. Work your way up. Then in a few years if you want to get into management get your CS B.S. degree.

Mostly accurate. Been around for years though. Edit: Almost forgot...best part starts at 4m30s.

If you mentioned it here I obviously forgot, I apologize. I'm pushing half a century years old now and tend to forget things.

I will test the calibration results to confirm "calibration" matches "reality." I'll always be shooting at f/5.6. Almost always at 400-500mm. And almost always near the minimum focus distance. At least for now. Those are the conditions with which I ran the calibration tests.

That's what she said. Nikkor 105mm f/1.4 = 82mm filter diameter. Sigma 105mm f/1.4 = 105mm filter diameter. It will be interesting to see how they compare wide open. You would think the vignetting would be less on the Sigma and maybe better bokeh? The Sigma will probably be as sharp or...

I redid all my lens AF Manual Fine Tune tests. I used a piece of string to align the central axis of the lens to the center of the chart and confirm axis was perpendicular to the center of the test chart. Good news is that -20 is way off so my lens/camera are not totally out of adjustment...

CP+ 2018: First Look - Sony 400mm F2.8 G Master lens. Sony getting some serious glass. Finally. CP+ 2018: Hands-on with Tokina's 50mm F1.4. Sigma, Tamron and now Tokina have updated their "normal" lenses. Canon and Nikon? <crickets> CP+ 2018: Hands-on with Sigma 105mm F1.4. Goddamn that...

A quick Google says they are exclusive but still not certain. The camera only stores one correction per lens so I would think you'd want to Fine Tune the lens at the setting you'll be using. For me that would be 500mm near the minimum focus distance. I should check 400mm as well as the lens...

I haven't tested my other lenses yet, as only the 200-500 has given my less than stellar results. Pics just seemed a bit soft. I just thought that going from 0 to -20 would see a bigger swing in focus. But perhaps not. I'll try re-shooting the test tomorrow in bright daylight so I can get...

AF Fine Tune on Nikon D610 w/200-500mm f/5.6E lens @500mm near MFD I'm trying to adjusting the AF Fine Tuning with my 200-500mm lens. Lens zoomed in to 500mm with focus set near the minimum focus distance of just under 8 feet. This is where I want to use the lens most to capture hummingbirds...

Your school doesn't have decent internet?

Sweet jesus Sigma is pumping out lenses. Now Sigma has a 105mm f/1.4 art and 70mm f/2.8 macro art coming out soon. The 105 is huge. 105mm filter diameter and a tripod foot!

New or old lens? The new Sigma Art 14-24mm f/2.8 will cost $1299. $200 cheaper than the early speculation of $1500. The $1300 price is more realistic and gives a $600 separation between the Nikkor and Sigma lens. Hopefully it will test extremely well to put some pressure on Nikon to upgrade...

Doh. Already posted in news by Chewy already. Anandtech link to 30 TB SSD.

Plenty of fast and NEW options from third party OEMs but nothing new from Nikon in 10+ years. With the D850 and it's 45 MP well suited for landscape work Nikon really needs to capitalize on its runaway success (of D850) and put out some new/high-IQ wide/ultra-wide zooms. Recapture its...

Agree about DX being dead. Nikon should put out pro quality 16, 24, 35, 56mm f/1.4 DX lenses. And 8-16, 16-50, 50-150mm f/2.8 zooms for DX to revitalize the market as Thom has been talking about for a while now. Now referring to my post above yours: All the Nikkor lenses I listed are FX...

/rant Nikon needs to update their wide/ultra-wide zooms ASAP. Especially now that the 45mp D850 is available and selling like crazy. Nikon's 14-24 f/2.8 is 10+ years old. Nikon's 17-35 f/2.8 is 17+ years old. Nikon's 16-35 f/4 is 7+ years old and sux compared to Canon 16-35 f/4. Personally I...

I was only comparing the f/5.6 PF (DO) teles to the f/4 PF lenses as a counter to you saying they won't be cheap. The f/5.6 teles won't be as expensive as the f/4 teles. Maybe not "cheap" but certainly less expensive. The Nikkor 300mm f/4 PF is a compact lens with good IQ. A 400 f/5.6 PF...

Certainly the 500 & 600mm f/5.6 PF lenses will be cheaper than the ($10,300 & $12,300) f/4 super-telephoto Nikkors. And what will be the price premium of the 400mm f/5.6 PF over the current ($2000) 300mm f/4 PF tele? I see the 300/4 vs 400/5.6 being nearly a wash. Front elements being almost...

Maybe they want their shoes back?
