replacement manual for nikon d7000?

05 February 2013 - 07:27 PM

anyone know where I can buy a replacement manual for my nikon d7000 - I am starting a photography class and need the manual, and mine came up missing during a move or a recent trip. I checked amazon and called nikon, but no luck.

What WA rectiliner lens

14 February 2012 - 12:11 PM

So, after reading a lot here I thought I was going to get the toktina 10-17 lense for WA photo. After reading
http://www.uwphotogr...tography-lenses
I am starting to think it may not be best for me. Much of my WA will be here in North Carolina taking wreck photos where the fisheye look is not desirable. Would I be better off getting a rectiliner lens - if so, which one? I am shooting a d7000 with probably a nauticam housing.

comparing housings for d7000

10 February 2012 - 03:50 PM

I am familiar with Ikelite housings - I have used them on my two previous P&S set ups. I have a nikon d7000 that I want to house. I know with Ikelite my inon z240 strobes will not be able to do TTYL. As far as the other options - I know we are talking about double the price. I am not really wanting to start a debate on quality of those over ikelite - I know the pros and cons of the aluminum housings. My questions is two fold.

1. How much advantageous is the TTYL vs manually setting the strobe? I know I usually have to take a couple test shots to get my strobe settings right, and then, especially with the macro stuff, often do a lot of adjusting under water using the histogram.

2. What other housing (Aquatica, etc) are out there that would be capable of ttyl with this set up, and rough price points (ie. which ones are $$$$ vs $$$).

Thanks y'all (I am not really southern but it has worn off on me)

cheers
