Well... I tried a lot of things, but it in the end it was a pair of bullnose pliers that fixed it! Turns out my hotshoe's had loosened up over the last couple of years and the SB900 & SB800's connectors where loosing touch with my D700's plate and shorting out a bit or something like that. A...

Thanks lensflair... Will try all of those things and let you know how it goes! It certainly is strange and very annoying! Hopefully one of your pointers will help. Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys, I hope someone can shed some light on this problem for me... I currently use 2 Nikon D700 bodies with a SB-900 and a SB-800 as back-up. Some strange things have been going on lately and the problem is becoming more regular. Basically, I have them set-up using TTL but I am...

Got here a little late! Too many cooks comes to mind... I hope it went well for you and you took the advise of the people who said to use raw sit between 2.8 and 5 apart from the formal/set shots where even then the highest I would go is 8. I'm amazed that lenses haven't been mentioned... If...

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking... It's funny that there is nothing official from Nikon on this (unless I'm missing something). The bodies are in great shape and still doing a great job. Maybe not as tack sharp as they (along with the lenses) where from day 1 though. Might just take...

Hi Guys, Looks like a great forum! I just have a quick question about camera servicing... It isn't something I've had done before and I have two D700's, one with 50,000 and the other with 30,000 actuations. Do you guys get your bodies serviced at regular intervals? Do you reccomend it...
