Comment Post #289075 Ah, I gotcha. That makes sense now. Yeah, I have to admit my initial enthusiasm quickly waned. And in truth, I think the internet in general isn't very interested in photography Q&A anymore. Photo-SE is close to being a graveyard. I think now that computational photography in phones is looking so goo...

Comment Post #289075 > This site was badly hurt by importing lots of old content from SE. What content was imported from Photo-SE? I know that [I originally advocated for some content to be imported](https://photography.codidact.com/posts/75032), but to my knowledge, **none of it** was imported. Indeed, the later edit...

Comment Post #75032 @OlinLathrop you're right. Also, in retrospect, you're right about not migrating in questions from PSE. Rather than take this list / these answers as migration suggestions, these perhaps might be good starting points for seeding FAQs.

Question Should we enable MathJax support?
It hasn't come up quite yet, but as I was thinking of some FAQs to write, it occurred to me that it would be nice to be able to write formulas in LaTeX. Should we enable MathJax for Photo-Video?

Comment Post #276841 The question wasn't about linking to/from SE. Furthermore, frequent linking at SE to here seems like rather poor form — if Codidact wants to advertise at SE, there's a way to do that. But I'm wary of "expat" linking at SE to drive away traffic.

Answer A: Can I use my old Nikon film lenses with a new digital camera?
Your lenses (and the N6006 / F-601 body) use the Nikon F-mount, one of the longest-lived and supported lens mounts ever. It has gone through a few updates over the decades, in order to support features such as autofocus, fully electronic aperture control, etc. Lens–Body Compatibility Your Nikon...

If the legs are wrapped around the right branch, that can possibly eliminate the wobble, _perhaps_. It's very situational. The one thing that can de...
