I have the older Nikon 60mm F2.8D AF Micro... Great Lens!!  They're going for around 250-350 on Ebay...Fantastic Older Lens

Thanks, I'll look into that...

35mm F1.8 plenty wide for what I need...Ultra wide is over rated..Just my opinion. all in what you like.prefer to photograph... Can always pick one up later...

I know it's old, but I am going to try these settings..thx

Ditto...Right on the Money!! We all can learn more...

Hey everyone.Just got a used Nikon d7000, with 16,000 clicks: Awesome condition.And this I bought for it:1. Nikon Micro-Nikkor 105mm F/2.8 AF-S VR IF G ED Lens w/ Two filters.2. Nikon Nikkor AF...

Thanks everyone...Can always count on you all for very good feedback...

Thanks everyone...put my mind at ease...  :-)Sony NEX 7, Sony A550, Sony LAEA-2

Okay...either loss is insignificant or it's horrible...which is it??

sooo it would be less then one full stop so about F1.8 from a 1.4...Not up on the math..I know how to change f-stops and what they are for and their association with Shutter and ISO and DOF...

I was wondering how much light I would lose by putting a Minolta AF 85/1.4 on a Sony LAEA-2 Adapter on my NEX 7. Because of the slight light loss would the lens then become an F1.8 or F2.0 or 2.8 ?...

Just checked that link...it's listed for $79.99

Doesn't Canon and Nikon do the same thing? they are, after all, in it for the money...no?Isn't that technology today? Just like computers, cell phones, Cars..you name it..All the same. Let's just...

Wow, that got off track in a hurry!  Again, wasn't arguing sharpness or anything else guys...Didn't even mention it. Take all the bells and whistles away from the Nikon's and the Sony's, then...

Yes at Low iso almost any dslr with 6 mp or more would look relatively the Same...But if you're talking  Low noise using High ISO setting...D600, D700, D3, D4. I'd have to strongly disagree.  Just...

I'm comparing noise levels only.. From everything I've read, yes, I said Read, and examples I've seen...Sony's best, the A99 doesn't come close to a Nikon D700 or D3 when it comes to Low noise at...

Perhaps...but with more MP of the Sony A99 on the same size Ff sensor...you may get a tad more detail, but less sensitive to light...It's far too pricey, and as I stated...I need zero of all of...

Thanks Brian...I'm most likely going to keep the NEX 7, sell my A550, and pick up a used Nikon D700, D3, or New D600...Sony simply can't compete in the low noise, high ISO arena. The A99, as good...

Sasch,Got good results with the 50mm F1.7,,,cheap older lens but great glass....and works quite well in low light...no issue there...

Well put Chlam...Exactly what I was looking for...thank you
