I have a D800 and a 70-200mm f4.  Also purchased the 2x tele to try with it.  Results? In a word "awful".  Selling the 2x and thinking about the 300mm f4 with 1.4x tele, or potentially the new...

Rightwinger: nice find - thanks for posting.  I read it - just incredible... really makes it an easy decision to move on past Adobe...

You asked that I let you know how it goes.  Well, I waited a few months for the left focus issue to die down a bit, and then I did purchase a D800 and a 24-70/f2.8.  Followed that up with a...

You just might be right BJL... but still would like to know the answer to my Capture One question... haven't found a good answer on the web yet. Cheers.

Lightroom Cloud probably isn't far behind... any one know if Capture One can read Lightroom XMP sidecars and wind up with a good result?

I have used this lens for 8 years now with my 1DS Mark II. It is a great lens. Keep it. End of story.

Yeah, Clive, I hear ya. I've given that some considerable thought. As I said in a couple of other posts in this thread, I looked at eg 645D but passed due to bulk, lens selection and the fact...

Thanks Jack - very kind of you! :-)

Thanks guys - your posts are good encouragement to actually write down the pros/ cons in an analytical fashion from one's own perspective. I have to admit, I have a mental list, but hadn't...

Great post - thank you.Agree re: pixel resolution - I had set roughly 200 as a lower bound for myself, essentially for the reasons you described. Also agree re: format and the limits thereof, and...

Thanks Daniel. What lenses do you use with your D800?

I looked at this a while ago and dusted it off last night. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/800e_645d.shtml

thanks for suggestion

Interesting post/ thoughts. I've definitely considered the Pentax before - but passed due to cost and size. I've also thought about the glass quite a bit so, eg., would limit myself to the best...

Thanks to all of you that made constructive, thoughtful comments. I picked up a tidbit or two worth thinking about before I pull the proverbial trigger. Appreciated your inputs.

Thanks appreciated. Of course, this is what I'm hoping for in moving to the higher rez. Probably the best advise out there today on this thread is "rent a D800 and try it" to make sure the...

I assume you mean Amobi said that. I never said anything such thing - just wanted to be clear. Thanks.

The direct answer to your question regarding the 24x36 inch prints is "yes, I feel somewhat limited". As I said, I have an Epson 7900 and do 24x36's. This is not to say that I think the prints...

Exactly. And, how does the overall glass situation compare between the brands. I know the 100-400 isn't brightest light bulb in the bin - however, its worked relatively well for me and Nikon does...

Thanks for the feedback - appreciated.
