I think his page on photographic how-to's are pretty well written. Although he can get quite obnoxious at times, but nonetheless a good resource.

A way to make a Digital Polarizer. A very good tutorial IMO. It helps others overcome the need to spend big bucks just to get the filter itself, now with photoshop, it can be done in just a few easy steps! Plus, you have a greater control over your final!

Hope it will serve you well.

Hi Guys and Gals,

I found this site to be quite useful if you would like to buy lens and other accessories. especially 2nd hand one. It has all the technical information you need.

ONLY FOR NIKON.

Serial Number
Specification
Accessories ( Filter size, hood, case etc)
Lenses (Ai / Ai-S / AF etc)

Try this website by Nikon. They have plenty of useful video tutorials for specific Nikon cameras : http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d50/index.shtml

That's for the D50.
