Hi guys, I have an old pentax that I've only just realized has a detachable SIGMA 35-80mm lens. I have recently bought a NIKON D3100, and I was wondering is there like an adapter or a mount I can put the lens in, to be able it on my Nikon?
Thanks.

Using a battery grip without battery in it?
This is something I really need to know before I rush out and buy me a Nikon D610 and a Pico battery grip!
I want a battery grip because the Nikon body is not big enough for my hands.
Now, please clarify, will the battery that is inside the Nikon body be enough, or is it compulsory for me to use battery, extra battery, inside the Pico battery grip to enable it?
I do not think I might ever use the portrait orientation.
I just need the grip to make the Nikon body look and feel bigger for a better hold.
So, will everything be ok if I am on just one Nikon body battery?
Your help is much appreciated.

Entry level DSL-R camera?
Hey, i am looking for an entry level Dsl-r camera. I did my research and came down to these two cameras
* Nikon D5300
* Canon 70D
I want a nice Dsl-r with good results and one which would last long enough for me to take snaps on a sightseeing tour or so. Nikon or Canon? Always difficult to choose between these two brands. Would love some professional advice and some experience sharing would be appreciated.
THANKS.

Does the Rode VideoMic Go work with the Nikon D3200?
The VideoMic Go needs 2.5 V plug-in power, I think. Will the Nikon D3200 work with the VideoMic Go?

These were all taken with my Nikon P100. I have entered a few of these on Pixoto and they won a couple of "awards", but I can always use more constructive feedback. All I ask is that you aren't rude. Thanks in advance…

How to set the timer on a Nikon D60?
Before you say it, I did a search and found the following answer from six years ago, which doesn't work:
"Press menu
use the multi selelctor to get to teh custom shooting menu it will look like pencil icon
press the multiseelector right
use the down mulyiselector to get to menu custon settings 11
press OK or the right selector again
select self timer
press OK
Now the fn button is set to the self timer, you press the fn button and it will activate it then press the shutter release to activate it "
I have done all of this. I press "Fn" and it says "Self-timer" on the display screen. I press the shutter button, and it doesn't do anything. There is no countdown, there is nothing on the display to indicate that it might or might not be doing anything.
Twice, out of about 20 tries, it did actually work. Naturally it never worked when I actually had my shot set up, and most of the time it never worked when I was just testing it either.
What's the magic formula that makes it work?

Canon 70D for first camera?
Today I bought Canon 70D camera from Costco, and it came in a bundle for approx. $1400 - camera, 32 GB Class 10 SD card, case, 2 lenses, charger, HDMI to mini HDMI cable and a white cable and a couple other things.
I talked to many best buy employees about canon vs nikon and they said it depends, and i was asking in filming/noob professional photography. They said Canon is more reliable.
Is this true? I've been using Nikon my whole life cause it's more user-friendly, so it's my first time owning a Canon.
… I'm in a film course this summer so when I enter college I'll have an understanding of the film industry, but I want to take very good pictures during events, so this camera seems it's going to be good.

Battery life and camera age?
Just been wondering about something battery related.
Obviously, batteries lose power with age and become less effective. And given that I use, among others, a Sigma DP3 Merrill, I'm very familiar with poor battery life. I have four batteries in total, and now two of them (the original ones) are literally useless. They can't hold a charge, and the two which can will give me maybe 30 or 40 shots before packing it in. Luckily they're small and cheap to replace.
What I was curious about is whether there are other factors, like the connectors (if that's the word), or something else within the electronics, which also affect battery life.
I was checking out (with half a mind to buy; it was an extremely good deal) a very well used Nikon D3 last week, and I happened to notice that the battery life indicator was on "3", i.e. "pretty well used, gonna be time to replace it soon"). I'm guessing that it was the original battery.
Assuming I were to put a brand new battery in it, and run it through a few cycles, would it still provide the number of shots that it would have in a brand new D3 from 2007 (which, I believe, was hundreds and hundreds, even into the thousands, on a single charge)? Or will the age of the camera effect the performance of even a new battery?
I know some of you guys and girls still use D3s and cameras of that age - any experiences? Thanks in advance.
