But you are talking about a cropping to produce 120mm, a factor of about 1.5 (DX). One of the reasons of why I took the 24-120mm as my travel lens is that on my D800, I can crop to have a better...

That is my point. With the same amount of cropping, 120mm would be cropped down to 180mm. That is a 60mm difference. Most likely the cropping would be around the center part. One of the reasons of...

24-70mm is a better lens if you do not mind the weight, the price and the shorter zoom range. For me, the 24-120mm is good enough.  Although price is not a great factor, 24-70mm is just too heavy...

I meant: "I would not say that the difference is negligible."

Assume a cropping gives a 1.5X factor (DX factor), 85mm--> 127.5mm;  120mm --> 180mm.  A difference of 52.5mm. Assume a cropping gives a 2X factor, 85mm --> 170mm;  120mm --> 240mm.  A difference...

I was there just a few days there before you.  D800 + 24-120mm f/4. Morning fffering in Luang Prabang Young monks in Luang Prabang Girl waiting for the offering in Luang Prabang

I suspect most people here have read the DXO web site. I had done that just before purchasing a 24-120 f/4 VR zoom not long ago. When one plans to buy a lens, most probably one would search for...

But it takes time to change lenses.

For D800, it is better to use higher shutter speed. Even with VR on, it is better take a shutter speed with 2X the focal length, unless you have very steady hands. With VR off, better have 3X. But...

Wow, such a low price. In Hong Kong, both SEL18200 and SEL18200LE are priced at about US$800. It seems that these lenses are cheaper in Europe than in Hong Kong. What a reverse?

Usual travel gear: D800 with the 24-120mm f/4 and NEX-7 with the 10-18mm f/4.If I want to go light, I take NEX-7 with the 18-200mm or the 10-18mm, but sometimes with both zoom lenses.

When I visited there in 2003, I used a Nikon with the 24-120mm zoom lens. It was OK. Of course, a longer zoom range would be better. It all depends on what one wants. I guess a 18-200mm lens +...

Why not get a cheaper NEX body as a backup? Then you can use your E-mount lenses on both cameras. Better still, a wide-angle lens (e.g. 16mm+WA) on one and a wide-to-tele lens on the other (e.g....

Some time ago, I had made a suggestion to Nikon to add a new programmable functionality for the AF-ON button as follows:At the moment, one has to keep pressing the AF-ON button to keep the focus....

Spot metering.

The fisheye converter gives you a 15mm (35mm equivalent). SEL1018 gives you 15mm-27mm (35mm equivalent).(SEL1018 + SEL18200) give you a range covering from 15mm to 300mm (35mm equivalent). This...

About a month ago, I took my D800 to Nikon to have the sensor clean. I told the staff there that mine was in the first batch of D800 sold. He said that he would ask the technical people to check...

You are right.
