  • Well, it depends what you shoot. I still like having the f/1.4-2.0 option on my D700, which I prefer to not go over ISO 1600 on. If you are shooting stuff at dawn or dusk, or at night, or by...
  • The 50mm f/1.4G was the first lens I bought with my D700 years ago. I didn't use it much for years because I got enamored with other lenses like the 85mm f/1.4 and 24-70mm f/2.8, but lately I've...
  • I know what you're saying, but it really depends on what you shoot. For example, I use the 24-70 f/2.8 on FX and while I really like it, I'm always wishing it was a bit longer. For one thing, I...
  • This is just stupid, why wouldn't you just use CafePresse, who will print ANY photo on just about ANYTHING? And you DON'T have to log into FaceBook to use it!!

  • Commented on Frozen morning sun in the Its Cold Out There challenge

    Great shot, you could seriously sell that as a stock photo or for postcard or whatever. And a great testament to what an amazing camera the D700 was and still is, 5 years after its introduction.

  • Well, they have A LOT of work to do to make Picasa rival Lightroom. That's not some trivial tweaking and adding a few features.

  • I would love version of these plugins that operate natively within Lightroom's RAW workflow. SilverEfex is a really great too, but having to freeze my edits and export is not good. Adobe needs to...

  • This is cool and a great deal, but to me it just says they are killing off this product line and are trying to milk any additional revenue they can before they pull the plug. Too bad. While this is...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Real-world Samples news story

    Yes, the X100 was (is) terrible wide open at macro distances, you need to go down to at least f/4 for it to get acceptable (and even that can be iffy).

  • Commented on {Text:Title} preview

    Yeah, that alone pretty much made me stop reading. What is it with these compacts and their absurdly priced accessories ($130 lens hood for Fuji X100)? It's not like they're giving the cameras away.

  • Well yeah, that's who this lens is for, it's not a walking around/cover everything lens. It's not "odd" at all. The 70-300 is OK, but is very unlikely to match the performance of this lens....

  • Huh?? It's 24mm, it's as wide as any other 24mm. You can just go to Flickr and look up any 24mm lens.
  • I wouldn't exactly call "send it in to be serviced" (which can take months) "recifying the situation". Especially for something that probably can continue to happen. Did they say they'd FIX the...

  • Commented on Nikon D7100 Hands-on Preview preview

    So this $1,200 camera gets the newer 51 point AF while the D600, which costs $800 more, gets the older, crappier 39 point system? WTF? That's messed up.

  • Your case is not very good because yes, I would pay for that. I payed $1,800 for my 85mm f/1.4G (new), there is no reason Nikon can't produce a 50mm lens, which is a simpler design, with similar...
  • Oh, and a couple more things:Weather sealingSmooth bokeh along the lines of the 85mm f/1.4 (the current 50mm f/1.4G's bokeh is not terrible, but it's not exceptional either).Essentially what I'm...
  • I agree with others who have said an excellent 50mm-60mm f/1.4 would be acceptable, and probably more practical. I have the 50mm f/1.4G and it's a decent lens, but it's just missing that little bit...
  • Anyone who can't get stunning photos from either the Nikkor or Canon 24-70...your problem is not with the lens.

  • I'm assuming because the X100 has a fixed lens with a leaf shutter. Because of the leaf shutter, maximum shutter speed is limited when shooting at large apertures (for example, it's  to 1/1000th...
  • I agree but how do you solve that without making the lens physically larger? The compactness is a big part of the X100, manual focus is just one of those compromises that had to be made and IMO is...
