I had similar problems - the active focus bracket changed spontaneously at times, forcing me to refocus and recompose very similar to what you describe. My fix...
My fix was manual focus for most shots... ... -- Scott http://www.flickr.com/photos/screaminscott/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
My problem was the selector switch on the back, thanks for the mention. Manual focus is fine, but as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, being able to...
... Ah, the old eye-sight problem. Have that myself :^) But it shouldn't keep you from reading the fine manual :^) see page 76: Depth-of-Field Preview To...

Fall is finally here in New England and the colors are fab!! I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and take some foliage pictures. I'm using a Tamron 18-200...
I did the same thing for last year's colors, Jay. I didn't notice any problems other than the combination of UV, CP and a slow lens (f3.5?) didn't allow me to...
... Stacking filters is something you should try to prevent as each air/glass transition introduces additional (chances of) image quality degradation. Most...
Actually, I'm using a D70s. If I had more time to devote to photos, I would have upgraded a while ago. But like all thing photo, if the equipments does what...
That makes 2 responses in favor of not stacking. I'm sure there will be others as well who advise the same. I didn't know there was such a thing as a clear...
I've been shooting since the late 60's & at first I had "protective" UV or Skylight filters on my lenses. I soon thereafter stopped the practice of ...
Thanks, Hayo - I hadn't heard of clear filters before. I'll have to check them out. I just carried over the habit of using a UV from my film days. Gary ...
I was out shooting today and saw, for the first time, someone using a ND filter. She simply held it up in front of her lens. Is that really the way they're...
That's not the way they should be used, although I guess it can be done that way. Most are normally screwed in or else mounted in a Cokin style holder ... -- ...
Thanks for the reply. The filter itself was a large rectangular piece of glass, clear at the bottom and gradually becoming darker at the top. She slid it up...
That's a Cokin style graduated neutral density filter..That's the type I use, but mine are held in place by a holder that attaches to the filter threads....
... Hand-holding these types of filters is pretty common as it is quicker and somewhat more flexible. I've made use of this method myself. It is also the only...
Thanks for the reply, everyone. It's good to see there's life in the old group! Gary Stanwood, Washington In a message dated 10/11/2009 2:57:59 A.M. Pacific...
Thanks, again, to all who responded about the ND filters. Now, one last thing. I looked up the prices of these little babies - $400??? for a rectangular ...
Hello Jay, I did that too not too long ago, have an UV filter on plus the CP ontop of that. I was using the Nikkor 18-105mm lens. In my photos, the corners...

Anybody using one of these cards with your D70? How well does it work and are there any problems with the CF to SD adaptor? How about the geotagging...
Bill, I don't have an answer, but I am curious what you have learned about the eye-fi. I'm interested in getting one too. Mikel On Oct 29, 2009, at 6:54 AM,...
All I've learned so far is depending on the SD to CF adapter connectivity to the Wifi router will be from zero to 12 feet. I guess it has to do with the...
