It's one of things they see when they ask you "why do your portraits look like that and mine like this (crap) ?!"

I think Chris is alluding to the fact that not all professional athletes are under the same scrutiny as cyclists are. And he'd be right. Most sports turn a blind eye to it, while in cycling you can...

Why would you want the improvements to stop? When we can 'extract' all of the detail that our lenses can provide. Unfortunately, cameras we have today are nowhere near capable of doing that. More...

I really don't and I used to own it. The body was ok, sensor made everyone want to switch to Canon. It's funny how time changes facts. Back in those days, Nikon forums here were very angry,...

Nothing that a cool $100k "donation" to UCI can't fix.

My sweet spot is the 56x84mm sensor, but no one makes them (and I couldn't afford it, anyway).

My bet is Leica. What did I win? :)

I like EVIL. But there are few more options if EVIL acronym doesn't work for you: DEVIL - Digital Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable LensMILF - Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens FormatSLIM -...

With a good lens and a good teleconverter, it would. The question that remains is - how good are Nikon's teleconverters ?

With that kind of bokeh, I would buy that lens only if you put a gun to my head. And even then, I'd try pleading for my life first.

I don't know if they do. Both combos we proposed here, your 300/4 + 1.4TC (which sounds good) and my 80-400/4-5-5.6, can not replace a 400/2.8, but they absolutely can replace a 400/5.6. They do...

You misunderstood me. I apologize, I should have wrote in more detail. I did not mean adapted lenses. What I meant was that mirrorless lenses give more option for manufacturer to design native...

Just look at the pictures. ;) Doesn't look bad at all.

None of your proposed combos are what I'd call small. In fact, that's quite big. Small is D800 + 2 pancakes. I like this one. Crop to square, sell it to any Norwegian black metal band looking for...

This depends completely on the individual photographer. Whether you're a pro or not has nothing to do with it, only what your standards (for quality) are.

Agreed. The problem with those long and slow primes is they have narrow range of uses. For a long time now I believed lenses like that (Canon 400/5.6, for example) will be completely replaced by...

..I don't know god's chosen sensor, but it's been said that people sometimes hear angels singing when they buy a FF camera.. :)

There is one thing - mirrorless cameras give more options regarding lens designs, specifically wide angle lenses. That's their one, true advantage. However, whether they take advantage of this is...

What people are doing is trying to learn everything there is to know about how a sensor performs, what it does well and what it does not do so well. Knowing that can help you get better results in...
