Banding my azz

I used the same products the other day. 2 swaps + Eclipse. Don't make it too complicated with other brands and more equipment. Rocket blower --> Camera sensor cleaning --> testshot --> swap -->...

This user "got rid" of his shitty Nikon D800. Reasons based in incompetence and too much money: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50966185

I did Venice few years ago with D700, 14-24, 180 and 85. If you want a different perspective of the most photographed place in the world - then it's not about equipment but more about preparation,...

Don't take any chances until absolutely sure that new firmware is safe. Some say that LCD display that used to be without colorcast now are purple.

I use cheap primes with filters for long exposures. They don't need to be as sharp as 14-24 anyway.

Thanks a lot, guess you are a bird lover too :-)

Yeah I know, that finch had a bad feather day. I might have a bigger problem with copyrights though :-)

I would not swap 14-24 for anything but a prime with superior corner sharpness AND a very special x-factor expression. Filters are just not important anymore with extreme DR cameras like D600/800.

I've noticed that my batteries are running low really fast after I updated the firmware 3 days ago. I ran a lot of AF tests with all my lenses, on randomly moving objects (15 zebra finches in a...

I feel the glass is half full. No need to test, just use.

It's clearly improved with all my lenses.

with 85 1.8 and 180 2.8. Veeeery disappointing upgrade. I'm jumping ship.

First a regular image (test images are so boring in the long run): Chinon 50 1.7 @2.0 handheld. To the tests. All on tripod. Focus on triangle. Corner sharpness of Chinon not visible here, but...

1. calibrate your lens (lots of good advice to be found here) 2. practise - no high-end camera/lens will spit out winners on moving subjects in low-light automatically. My NEX 5N has face...

What FF did you use it on? Any samples? Distortion, fringing, contrast and vignetting is easy to correct in post. But not sharpness. I'm about to convert one for my D800, and before I get a Leitax...

Yah, it can get too short of cause

I got a Chinon 50mm 1.7 for 20$. It beats my AF Nikkor 50 1.8 and Olympus 50 1.8 in sharpness and bokeh, but not my Nikkor AIS 50 1.2 (different price point though). You might also take a look at...

Thanks TOF Guy, Google/NIK can call me anytime if they wan't more :)
