beatboxa accept my deepest apologies? Matthew some good points, thanks!

Thanks Larry.

Given, I have made a mistake here, I admit that, holds hands up. However, since a 20mm 1.4 doesn't exist in nikon's lineup (or maybe anyone's), a 20mm 1.8, clearly doesn't have as large a clear...

Tamron's G1 and G2 15-30 much better in this regard.

Nope, a 20mm 1.4 would not have a larger clear aperture than a 24mm 1.4. I can tell you haven't read this article through so read it again. Educate yourself here: http://www.clarkvision.com/

24mm 1.4 lenses have the best clear aperture and beat a 20mm 1.8G for astro, especially when stitching to get a moisaic....

Thanks Larry. Any chance you can post some full res D810 15mm pics? Is this the G2 variant of the lens?

Hmm maybe. But then again, bags of FC (which is a pain) and not as sharp away from the central area as other options.

I'd say it's better, did you notice the tamron has hardly any FC compared to the nikon. With some scenes even f/11 wasn't enough to hide it! The tamron is a much flatter field lens, which for ...

No one has the 14-24mm sigma, 14mm 1.8 art or 15-30 tamron here that could comment? Man this place is like tumbleweeds since the pretty Z camera's came along isn't it?

Haha what a moronic comment! Yeah a phone camera with a crappy zoom on it. Yeh no need for a 70-200 now with the autofocus system of the 850. For you maybe. For you...

Cheers Michael.

I used to own the 14-24mm nikkor but stupidly sold it. Considering adding a lens back to the kit. Contenders are the nikon, tamron and of course sigma (and maybe even the sigma 1.8 prime). I used ...

Glad to see it went well, nice pics!

I use a mixture of newer and older lenses even on high res bodies like the 810 and 850. I recently added a 70-200 2.8E, but still appreciate lenses like the 35mm f/2 afd, the beautiful 85mm 1.4D ...

If you get eaten can you leave me your supertele's? :-D

That milky way moisaic on your page with the 50mm 1.4 just blew me away. Glorious.

Just found out last week that personal accounts are all being closed by April due to low usage and maintenance challenges apparently. I used to use it for a while, but not latterly - to be honest ...

Hi yeah, to be expected. This is a daylight shot; so lots of light. You will always get noise in a long exposure night shot of the type I showed, it doesn't matter even if you are at base ISO as I ...

200mm, vignette left in. Impressive across the frame even at 2.8.
