It‘s even 1.0 vs 1.2m close distance, so significant when doing portraits...

Strange the f4 is better than the 2.8 in that it has rounder aperture (9 vs 8 blades) and better close distance (1m vs 1.1m) - I‘d expect the better for the 2.8 rather, no?

Horray, finally all photogs will flood the lofoten islands in winter and venice at dusk once they are done with Taj Mahal...

500px maps was ulgy to use at least, such a new tool - if done properly...

Still today D4500 Kit is 420, Alpha6000 is 500 Euros, so 20% more, not really same league for a start. A 2014 hybrid AF design to match a 2016 DSLR of same pricing? Would not have considered that...

Thought about switching to Sony for my kids' cameras, but the money to buy a Nikon D3400 equivalent is outrageous.
Interesting trend though: DSLR for low cost high sensor size and SuperPro,...

Well, strobism is not actually dead, it just smells funny.

Still have that huge 2/200 from the time and love it ;-)

sure you've not missed it yet - one of the things that will never go away completely. It's fun for sure but never has a good image...

Yeah, gimme cotton dispensers

Is long exposure the new HDR or is it already the old HDR?
It was good as long as it lasted, put it to LightPainting, HDR, Sunflares, Steelwool and Strobists when...

The 70-200/2.8 was built for that use, so I would recommend that first if budget allows. If not then best choice would be a 1.8/85 I think - fast AF by light glass and lots of photons, good to ...

Love my 2/200 on the D810. It was a real investment, but expecting decent price if need to sell I talked myself into it. Seeing the results I have no regret - in fact it's my only lens that's fast ...

70-200 of course, typo. Pity they only had the VRII available, the FL was rented already. I'll see what magic the D5 can do with it (and my 1.4 primes) on saturday. Pity to hear your test-story, ...

Will rent a D5 + 27-200/2.8 for next event to see what's possible on Nikon. Chatted with Sony guys at sales show, they told me not to expect too much from Nikon Glas adapted - no general good ...

Thanks to all of you for the good insights and links. Seems like I should rent myself a D5 for a start to get the focus nailed with my glass. Would love to stick to these highest apertures for the ...

As a D810 owner I am quite often unhappy with the AF precision. Especially indoor/lowlight quite often focus is off completely, or hair instead of eyes and the like. Keeper rate on Indoor sports ...

If I account all the missed family days and weekends due to plane schedule issues I could instantly slay any such problem raising drone pilot.

Placed 13^th in the challenge. Woken by thunder stormed out to grab the shot, but rain just moved on (rainbow on the left still), leaving this dramatic light and cloud
