Weldin'! ... I mean, well done! You found just the right exposure to emphasize the interesting colours, and to allow the eye to move around the picture without being constantly forced back to the...

Not any more!

Even with a left-side AF issue, I was extremely enthusiastic about my D800E from the moment I bought it, and increasingly so as I explored its remarkable abilities. It was a huge upgrade for me,...

I agree that AF-C in 9-, 21-, or 51-point dynamic area mode must have been designed for targets that move left, right, up, down, towards the camera, or away from the camera; but I had assumed that...

In order to see if the new firmware changed this behaviour, I just did a test that I had done before, as follows. I first set the camera in AF-S, centre point selected, and place the centre AF...

Did you take these shots in AF-C rather than AF-S focusing mode? Some people -- myself included -- have found in AF-C (even in single point mode, and definitely in a dynamic area mode), that if the...

I really appreciate your flexibility in changing your "tune" with the change in your experience with the camera, as well as your willingness to be equally vocal about the positive improvements as...

I would recommend that you retake the photo with your new Canon camera and one of the new Canon lenses, so the EXIF data will reinforce your point.

Because their wording of the announcement downsizes the problem(s). Their acknowledgement of "improved subject tracking performance" sounds like a mere tweak. An acknowledgement of "improved...

When you are the person stuck standing on that molehill -- as I was prior to a successful repair on the second effort at Nikon Canada (it involved replacing the TOGO PCB unit, which appears to be...

Interesting juxtaposition of ideas that appear to negate each other somewhat. Certainly that second excerpt will inflame and divide in some quarters, and possibly enrage as well. Your mastery of...

This is the forum where people come who have had a left AF issue with their D800/E's, and is therefore a very sensible place to seek info about how to test for it. Actually, yes they are . Not...

Thanks for coming up with a logical and realistic explanation. It's less fun than a conspiracy theory, but much more relaxing.

It sounds as though there might be a problem here in recognizing what actually constitutes "losing face." Transparently admitting and addressing a problem is an act of honesty, integrity, courage...

Exactly so.And what's with this idea of "plants?" Conspiracy theory? Fifth column? Plain old paranoia?This is a photography forum, not a cover for coded communication between terrorist cells.

I am not MC, but I just tested this question with the Sigma 50-150 on my D800E. The lens is a "stickly DX" at all focal lengths, but not at all apertures. In 1.2 crop mode, the dark vignetted...

There seems to be quite a lot of entirely speculative catastrophizing underway about Nikon these days, not only in this thread and not just in the post I am responding to; but at this moment, this...

Kenko extension tubes maintain full data communication between the lens and the camera, and are readily available at most camera stores.Another way to achieve a high level of magnification (I don't...

You started this thread 12 hours ago and you're already up to 18,042 posts.At his rate, I think I can safely predict that you'll hit 20,000 pretty soon.Congratulations.

And it is just the right expression for the feeling of release from ever having to deal with any of those dire 'what if' scenarios!
