Hi, I have the D50 with the 18-55mm lens and a Tamron 70-300mm zoom. I have just returned from holiday and when I was using the camera with the 70-300 zoom...
Sounds like it was the contacts Martin, mine have done the same a couple of times Andy Hi, I have the D50 with the 18-55mm lens and a Tamron 70-300mm zoom. I ...
Flash back to a past career.... We used to train our troops that when a military radios system wouldn't respond to an attached microphone, you (carefully)...
I have been informed many times by people who should know that cleaning contacts will not help . However this is after i have cleaned contacts and reseated...
Martin, I have not had the problem, but as an electronics engineer I cannot see why occasionally cleaning the contacts which are relied on for two chips to...
Hi, I have never had that problem with film slr`s. I just wiped the contacts carefully with a lens cloth. I have used the lens again since cleaning the...
Cleaning the contacts could work but it is probably worse than that. I have a Nikon 70-300 that I purchased 2nd hand and it did the same thing when I first got...
Are you sure there is not a manual aperture ring and "fixed for auto" switch on that lens. The first time I got that message, I had the apperture ring lock ...
Hello Martin, In my other hobby-Ham radio-if similar problems arise, I use a TINY ammount of switch cleaner that as it's name suggests,cleans the contacts and...
Personally i would not advise using contact cleaner. that stuff tends to act as a penetrating oil. IE it does not stay where you apply it but will migrate ....

Hello All, For years I used one to protect my lens but reading a couple of books on digital slr's since I just picked up my first (D50), they recommend against...
Thanks to all the gurus here, I m now, know a bit here and there, especially the relation of aperture, shutter speed, f-stop and ISO and a little bit on white...
The UV-for-protection debate rages on. If you do mostly outdoor shooting, then it's good for what it's meant for - filtering UV. Also, it can act as physical...
Were the recommendations based on simply introducing another element into the light path, or something more specifically related to differences between digital...
If you want to keep your glass protected a UV is fine... but i would go with a good multicoated one to help avoid aberrations induced by the filter. I use both...
My personal opinion, and FWIW, I like them for protection, but they can induce more ghosting when shooting into the light source. I had many shots in the...
Hi Jim, There's many schools of thought on this, the notion that it's better to bang and break a filter than the front glass is hard one to argue with, but...
Would you shoot through a window if you can open it instead? Andy What about a clear glass filter. Has anyone used one of those? I was wondering how little ...
