Oh! Poor camera!I think I'd love a Df, but, as I have a 7000 at work for use whenever, I haven't been able to justify buying one. On Wednesday, October 8, 2014 3:15:32 PM UTC-4, Mark Reimer wrote: Yesterday I put my camera, a Nikon Df, into my new Swift Industries Ozette bag on

This story reminds me of the time my be-wrapped-in-a-cloth eyeglasses became un-be-wrapped while riding in my handlebar bag. Rubbed and bumped against heck knows what else that was in the bag for heck knows how long during an afternoon of trail riding. $100 and a new set of lenses later! Stow

Off topic: how well does the King Cage Iris work as a 3rd bottle holder on the bottom of your downtube? Thinking about going that route as my bottle seems to move around too easily. On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 3:42 PM, Mark Reimer marknrei...@gmail.com wrote:

Love it, no issues. Well, a tall bottle doesn't fit in there with fenders, or with big fat 29r tires as shown, but a standard short bottle has lots of room. I've been considering replacing it with a cage for the short, fat fuel/water bottles instead. On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 3:54 PM, Jim Bronson

Oh, man, bummer. Let's hope for the best. If the camera was off, hopefully no circuits got fried. I did take my big Nikon SLR on a charity ride recently, because the event coordinator had invited me to take photos from the road. I was anxious about riding with the camera in my tiny Berthoud

I will tell you in a day or two after it's truly dried out.. either way, I'll be sending the camera to Nikon for a cleaning. I don't want some internal moisture slowly corroding the components, only to kill it for good mid-shoot and post-warranty. On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 4:15 PM, Steve Palincsar

Our work cameras go through a lot, dirt in industrial settings and even wearing out card cover latches on the copystand from high use - we keep a local repair depot busy cleaning and installing parts for us. On Wednesday, October 8, 2014 4:18:23 PM UTC-5, Mark Reimer wrote: I will tell you
