Can I get a lens adapter kit for my Nikon L830? Macro shots?


I know they sell them, but I have read multiple things about it and some people are saying that you can't attach lens to it even with an adapter… So then my question is what would be the best camera to use for macro shots? The L830 has a 34 point optical zoom and Im looking for more than that for less that $400. Does it exist?

Macro photography options?


I am new to the SLR segment. Just bought Nikon D5300. I have two lenses- Nikkor 18-55 kit (VR) and Tamron 16-300.

I'm looking for macro options. I want to take 3:1 macro shots. Now, clearly, I'm out of budget already. So, I can't buy a dedicated macro lens. I need a cheap alternative. I've been considering the following options:

** Raynox DCR 250 snap on
** Kenko extension tubes set
** Bellows
** Reverse mounting of my existing zoom lens
** Double mount

Now, I don't know the exact capabilities and limitations of these. I'm gathering information over internet only. So, it'd be very helpful if you help me choose. Also any other option is welcome too.

Just wondering if that sounds right?

What's wrong with my DSLR? Extreme shutter lag at all times even with manual focus?!


for the last few months every time I press the shutter button it takes 5-10 seconds for the camera to take the photo even on manual mode and manual focus. I have a Nikon D3100, 6 years old, there was a period of 6th months where I didn't use it and it just sat in my room… What that be the problem?

How many fps do old DVD camcorder record at?


I have one and it looks really smooth. Specially compare to my newer Nikon 1080p @30fps. It's crazy how they still give new cameras a run for their money.

What type of film should I use for a Nikon FM2 50mm 1.4?


I'm a little confused about what type of film I would need for this camera. If my lens is a 50mm, does my roll of film need to be 50mm? If someone could either link me to the film I need to buy or give me the name of one, that would be so helpful! Thanks!

Nikon 35mm vs 50mm lens help?


I have a Nikon D7000. I'm looking to buy a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G ED lens, maybe the 1.4G, however, since my camera is not full frame, it'll end up being more of a 50mm. What lens can I buy that will properly convey the 35mm look on my camera?
