Because if the old manual focus one can do this then I image the new one will be a gem:

Love to hear how you run two windows (you know it is windows after all) side by side with windows 8 so I can move data easily from one application to another....

Well unfortunately the Spyder 2 is not compatible with LED monitors.  I have to upgrade to another unit when I recently got rid of my wonderful CRT monitor and got a U2412M.  I chose the colormunki...

I use one all the time unless a filter must be used that won't allow me to mount a hood.  If you want the very best IQ then use your hood.  It's not just flare but color saturation, contrast, etc. ...

LOL, went there years ago.  Out of over 20 lenses only 2 of them are zooms and only 3 are even autofocus.  For most of my work the primes are the ticket to get the shots and quality I want.

Well I started using Firefox years ago when still stuck on dial-up with no broadband available.  The advantage then was the ability to run "about:config" and tweak the actual parameters that...

Of course not,  I shoot a different platform but I had a 70-200/2.8 zoom for those time I need the zoom capability.  But I also have  200/2.8, 180/3.4, 3 different 135/2.8s, 100/2.0, 90/2.8 and a...

Part of my old 7 series collection:

Funny thing is I thought the rock was too "wet looking" and originally had it in a pile of slides to be thrown away.  My girlfiriend at the time set me straight and I kept it.As to what I went too,...

Well if it is anything like my old 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 it is probably a true gem.  That was my hardest lens to give up when I left Minolta.A lot of my favorite all time work came from that lens:

Ok. I'll play on this old thread too! As much as I should say my Maxxum 7 was my favorite the realilty is I sold the Maxxum 7 but still have my beloved XD-7.  This camera is just sooooooo sexy!  I...

Yep this has been an issue with Skype for years.  I first found out about it when my ex-wife wanted it on her laptop to talk to her Mom and I researched the vulnerabilities.  Basically decided not...

it just happened to be the old manual focus version, LOL!!  Plenty sharp, heavy as all heck, and 1/6 the price now days used vs. the price of the new AF version.Judge for yourself if it's sharp:And...

Of course but your comments (hence your title) were about high ISO photography and your specifically stated ISO 1000 and higher. I picked a whole bunch of ISO 400 shots which are only 1 step above...

Yeah I'm with you Jim.  I rarely exceed ISO 400 yet shoot all sorts of stuff with my manual focus 800mm.  Just takes practice and good technique.  The viewfinder on my D300 is the biggest problem. ...

You mean like this, LOL? ISO 400 and manually focused iso 400 or maybe one of this little buggers that stay still for like half a second:ISO 400 Now these were a bit static, sort of:ISO 400 Or...

By Coincidence my Contax Zeiss 100/2.0 is my favorite lens for the kind of work also.

If the scene allows I perfer to us a telephoto and cut the scene into very detailed pieces.  Then I combine it all with photomerge and get one huge detailed final image.  The lens depends on what I...

manually focused at that.  Taken with the old MF Nikon 800/5.6 but on my Canon 5D body, LOL!!  Oh and yes handheld and not something I'd recommend...

??  Think you may be a bit mistaken on this.  I shoot with the old manual focus version of this and use in almost exclusively for wildlife.  Rarely do I need to shoot at ISO 1000 with it.  I mainly...
