It's a "normal" FOV on aps-c, it's incredibly contrasty, very sharp, and it can do 1:1 macro. I have several threads with examples, below is...

Thanks G. This forum is a great technical resource, and I like it when folks bring some real-world shooting experiences in here as well. Glad you found it useful. Here's a few quick snaps I...

Thanks you very much, Paul, gratifying to hear the narrative comes through. I think a link that flows through a series of images, although not always possible, enhances the whole. The telling of...

Thanks Halai. There's a 'Kit Lens Club' thread on pentaxforums that's almost depressing to look at - some of the best photography in there. I guess the rest of us need good glass like the 15 to...

Thanks Hari. Thanks much Ernie. Thansk Pete - yes, the Sigma 50-150 is a DX-only lens (much like the Tokina/Pentax 50-135 f/2.8, both are meant to be replacements for the FF 70-200...

Superb examples and write-up! D80 ----> D800 ... Wow. I think you win the award for "largest upgrade delta". :) Thanks for the post, look forward to seeing more shots from you. -- Here...

Thanks. I never bought into that, because it flies in the face of common sense. It's gratifying to see the actual results in personal shooting. That's also how I've always...

Thanks Paul. -- Here are a few of my favorite things... ---> http://www.flickr.com/photos/95095968@N00/sets/72157626171532197/

Got my D800 from a local B&M two days ago, can not recreate any AF issue on either side. The non-cross AF sensors are generally more hits and miss, and often require a slightly stronger contrast...

Thanks Joe. Thanks coudet. Sorry to hear that, I thought there was no real change to the optics between versions, but perhaps you got a bad copy... Thanks David. This camera...

Thank you, appreciate it. Thanks Paul! Thank you Frank. Thanks! Actually, the only desaturated ones are the B&W's. The color shots are straight conversions from NEF, no WB...

The two boys are mine, the girl and her sister are next-door neighbors and they all play together almost every day. Both my little guys are getting tired of having their picture taken, the...

Douglas on the Dark Side :) I just picked my D800 up yesterday, you can check out my initial shots & thoughts if you're interested: --->...

If you're interested, here are some results from the 50-150 2.8 HSM II taken on a D800 in DX mode today: --->...

Thanks Jack, always nice to see you around :) Thanks Stefano, appreciate it. Thx David! -- Here are a few of my favorite things... --->...

Thanks Lance! Just LR4 with these, some NR in the higher-ISO ones, some sharpening in some, some desaturations, then export to jpeg and upload to flickr (but I'm starting to hate flickr after...

For anyone interested in DX mode, I shot with my Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 on the D800 for a bit today - results posted in this thread: --->...

Thanks, Markus. The 180 has one fault - some PF wide-open in backlit and some specular highlight situations. Other than that, its an incredible exciting lens to work with. Thanks. I...

. One of the D800's appealing attributes is it's ability to crop cleanly. I have a Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 HSM II that I shot all the time on my D90, and the when I picked up a D700 I would still...
