I don’t think I mentioned this before but I am using SD cards with my D800 exclusively. Main reasoning for not using CF cards is to minimize number of gadgets I need to have and travel with. Since most laptops released in the last few years have SD card readers it becomes a big selling…

D800 focusing issue. Part 2.
Today I got my camera back from Nikon’s service center in Vancouver, BC. They sent it back saying it’s within specifications. I set up another test environment with different target this time – star chart. This was a second trip to the service center. After first trip my camera came back with improved focus when…
D800 focusing issue. The beginning.
So, it’s been few months since I got my D800. Unfortunately there are issues with the camera – quite infamous focusing issue with left group of focusing sensors. What is even more unfortunate is that Nikon completely denies any problems related to this widely known and proven issue and does not take any responsibility that…

So far I’ve had good and bad with the camera. Seems like I get some issues every now and then. I guess mostly because this camera is still too much for me – I’m trying to learn it and photography in general. Will try to post some of the pictures I took while being absent…

Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Days 3-5.
By this time I have already had my doubts. I started realizing that this bag does not work for me. I was actually surprised that it works for anyone. It is NOT comfortable and for the price they charge this thing needs to be a next best thing to a cloud in a sky and…
Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Day 2.
So, I got a new Gura Gear bag, highly praised and considered a ‘holy grail’ by many. And I am traveling with it – plane, automobile and feet. I quickly started noticing that the bag is not very comfortable on my back, no matter what sort of adjustments I make. Sure, it wasn’t light, but…
Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Day 1.
I’ve been looking around for a good photography bag or backpack that would work for my long distance and local travels. Those who know anything about photography gear and bags in particular would know that this is an extremely difficult task, since myriad bags out there are good for few applications but most people are…
