Thanks for the observations.. I used to have a 1ds3 too (and currently have d800e on order). One thing I loved about the 1ds3 was the large bright viewfinder, how do you find the d800 compares...

I was in the same boat and went for the Sigma 85 f/1.4 . It is excellent and my favorite lens, most of my shooting with it is at or near wide open. Currently shooting with a lowly D5100 until my...

Excellent article, Thanks. Answers many questions that were left unanswered when I switched to a Lightroom printing workflow from Qimage (which I loved). As an Epson 3800 owner, I wonder though...

damn straight... especially with all these meatheads that pre-order from 10 different stores. Bravo to the small shop. -- When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by...

Hmm... that sounds like balderdash.. I thought diffraction was a characteristic of lens, not sensor so the same loss of detail would be equally evident on both cameras at a given aperture.. but...

I considered the same pair but ended up going with the more expensive 14-24, of the two you've suggested though, I think I'd lean toward the Tokina because of the distortion on the 16-35 at 16mm...

I was in the same boat as you - I too felt that the fun factor was being compromised by too expensive and heavy gear. I also felt my vacations were becoming too much about photography and not...

I believe its bokeh fringing, here's a definition from photozone- Bokeh Fringing Bokeh fringing is a common issue with relatively fast glass. It's visible as halos of different colors in...

I was in same boat and decided on Sigma 85 f/1.4 over the Nikon 85 1.8g. Below is a good...

I believe it.. all sites I've seen (including dpreview itself which tests all 3 of these lenses) put the Tamron in very high regard. Look at thedigitalpicture.com for another angle -- When...

It would be nice if this feature eliminated the ghosting effects of shooting multiple exposures on a tripod when there's object movement between exposures (e.g.- leaves on trees)... but I have a...

I'm surprised Nikon would perpetuate this myth in their guide... For a given print size, you will see the same level of blur (no more, no less) than a lower resolution sensor.. I guess its a...

Is anyone else excited about the new Amazon Kindle Fire (competitor to Apple's iPad) as a photographic storage device? I've been waiting for a worthy successor to my ancient Epson P-2000 forever...

Probably the same way that Dave Van Ronk felt when Dylan stole his song "House of the Rising Sun"... -- When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your...
