Good specs, new low-noise APS sensor, but I hope this time Pentax will give us true RAW at ISO1600~6400 without NR...

I'm sure you never used a 14-24G in the field, did you? What the chart doesn't tell you, 14-24 will give you highly detailed image. Try it on a 5D2 with novoflex adapter. And I'm a proud...

Well I use both Nikon and Canon. That said, you should have missed 70-300L :) Nothing to match 135L, 70-200/4 IS and 70-300L yet in this camp. Of course if you have a 14-24G, that alone is a...

Most Nikon lenses in this range need to be updated. Both 135DC and 180ED produce severe purple fringing... Also, 135DC could be sharper wideopen, IMO. The best medium telephoto for Nikon is Zeiss...

is a Nikon 14-24G + Nikon G to EOS adapter and a Vixen Polarie (google that). You'll also need some flash or floodlights for the foreground. For lens, nothing can beat the 14-24G. I've tried ANY...

DPR is by far the most civilized site. There's even someone saying "...toy for stupid people..." wow!

D800E, to be exact :) the rest, I agree with you.l -- http://www.pbase.com/winston_tan/image/68863149.jpg

Forget the M9M. I have the M9, and at base ISO (160), none of my DSLRs could touch it in term of fine details and DR is actually very good. Noise, too is extremely low. Why? M9's files are easier...

What you said! Problem is, it's DPR...nothing new with the sarcasm, bashing, envy, etc..

both filters in front of the sensor are not only antialiasing, but also filtering the IR, I think they are called Low Pass Filter 1 and 2. So not only you need to replace them with clear glass (so...

Moire happens I think if the lens out-resolves the sensor. D800E is 36MP, I highly doubt there are that many Nikkors that could out-resolve the sensor :) Enjoy your new...

I second that.

stunning detail!

50, 85, 105 - they are too close to each other IMO. If you like macro, go for the 105 as you can also use it for portraits (or whatever the 85 can do except for the low light part - but you have...

yes, I can testify the 50/1.8G is indeed a great lens. Sharp wide open, good bokeh, very sharp already at f2.8, no detectable focus shift thanks to asph element, and low price! I did use this lens...

I'd kill for a 28 Summicron...:) That will be the lens I choose for a one-lens setup. Too expensive, though. -- http://www.pbase.com/winston_tan/image/68863149.jpg

If I'm not mistaken, my understanding is that modern lenses like 85/1.8G will surpass the lab test with flying colors. Sharp, even wide open, stopped down will be corner to corner sharp, no...

Both Zeiss and Nikon make good lenses. The difference, however, is more how the lenses render. Zeiss is more into high contrast. I agree the 100/2 ZF is excellent - but wider than 35mm, most Zeiss...

any cameras are only as good as the person behind them. In fact I just sold my D3 and am considering to get the 5D2! At less than $2000 it's a steal...
