New Lexar XQD cards will be available at the end of third quarter

By [NR] admin | Published: June 28, 2018


The Polish Lexar distributor confirmed that the first batch of new Lexar SD memory cards will start shipping in July. Unfortunately, the XQD memory cards will be available at the end of the third quarter. Given the previous delays, I think it is safe to assume that we will not see any new Lexar XQD memory cards this year.

Lexar XQD memory cards are currently listed as discontinued or are completely removed from B&H and Adorama.

Adorama recently fulfilled some existing Lexar XQD orders with Sony XQD Q cards without an extra charge (a few months ago Sony raised the price of XQD cards).

Here is the Google translation of the statement from the president of the Lexar Poland distributor:

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens review

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens review by Boon Vong (website | Instagram):

I’m into all types of photography and gear, but if I had to pick just one system for my portrait and wedding work, it would have to be our beloved Nikon one. Like many of you, when the Nikon 105mm 1.4E was announced in late 2016, I thought, wow that’s pretty expensive! After a few years of browsing images on the internet, I decided to break the piggy bank and get one.

Thanks to Peter and Nikon Rumors for letting me share my thoughts on what I believe is probably the best portrait lens out there.

So how does a relatively new lens perform on an “old” and “unwanted” camera like the D600 and old unsupported/ non-upgradeable software like Capture NX2? Let’s see! 🙂

Nikon D850 suggestion for fast changeable user settings

By [NR] admin | Published: June 26, 2018


Stephan Haase is the author of the Nikon D850 book in Germany (in German language). After using the Nikon D850, he came to the conclusion that the ability to store different user settings is not optimal. Here is his suggestion on how to improve it:

Suggestion for fast changeable user settings

In this document, I would like to make a suggestion to improve the handling of the Nikon D850.

There are many situations where you as a photographer would like to change some menu options (between two and five) simultaneously. Currently, you have the possibility to use the four configuration banks of the photo shooting menu and the custom settings. Here the current menu options:
