November 20, 2008.
Well, I'm back, after nearly three weeks of stinking dreadful computer problems -- the problem being that I didn't want to go near the stinking dreadful thing. I've worked on computers every day for more than twenty-five years, and every once in a while I just get to where I don't want to have anything to do with them for awhile.
After I finally got over my techno-disgust, I started playing with a friend's Alien Bee. After about three hours, to my dismay, I discovered my trusty D200 was badly out of adjustment. You can see the problem (and my frustration) in this SP. While it's well known that the camera adds ten pounds, my Nikon was consistently adding thirty!
Nikon says there's nothing they can do about it, although they hinted that their next generation of cameras would have an adjustable blobopter that lets you dial in a chunkiness adjustment, just like the diopter does for your eyesight.
