Actually the new 24-120 is very good on the d800 and easily as good as the 24-70 is. the 24-120 is a much better range and a lot more versatile than the 24-70 which is the worst of the 3 trinity...

The problem is the 2x tc does compromise image quality by a large amount, and apart from using it to magnify subjects at close range it hurts image quality when taking long range shots to a degree...

There is no situation where the d3x beats the d800 apart from maybe slightly better build quality, but my d800 stands upto the same environmental conditions that I subject my d3 too so I think...

Ever thought about just using the viewfinder?

I surpose we can all only go on our own experiences.I sold my D3 after extenstive testing alongside my D800 and the D800 focuses faster and just as accurately in every situation for me, i never use...

Nikon's 50 F1.4G is actually quite a poor lens optically, you would be better off buying the Sigma F1.4 or the newer Nikon 50 F1.8G which is superior to the Nikon 50 F1.4G.The Nikon 50 F1.4G is not...

I think Ming was probably pre occupied at the time he wrote that comment. More than likely he was trying to stop his backside getting blasted into space by Flash Gordon.My D800 and 85F1.4G is an...

feels abit cheap and the focus ring isnt very smooth but its very sharp, maybe the sharpest of all the 85's.go try it out and see what you think.

thanks Tomi think ill keep my Nikon 35.

thanks Fred, i totally agree

ive got the Nikon as well and no regrets whatsoever.test figures dont show everything and the Sigma wont show any benefit in real world shots.enjoy the Nikon, its the best 35 out there and the...

that cheap bit of brittle plastic, aka the aperture ring, always looks terrible and a potential point of failure and water ingress.thank god its been relegated to the bin forever and on a cosmetic...

the only time the d3s beats the D800 is frame rate, iso is very similar and for everything else (autofocus, dynamic range etc) the D800 smokes it.

how about going out and shooting with it?seems like the logical thing to me.

i agree, that would fit in my Garage

$2000 - $2500 tops.the D800 beats the pants off it and they are under $3,000 new

I agree with you, dealers are like bank robbers when it comes to "buying in" items.Greys, like alot of others will buy your mint 400 for £4000 and then list it on their website for £5,500 and...

i doubt that

if the OP had a need, they would know which one they should buy.

if you have a need for a lens, that you dont have, then you know which one to buy.if your asking for peoples opinions, then you havent got a use for the lens so maybe you actually dont need either...
