D750..... 24mp, ideal wedding camera

Ian ..... try that with a Pentax.... Lol, not in a lifetime !!

Tamron or Sigma are both on the table as long as I don't have software update compatibility issues Having said that, one of my favourite lenses was the 17 50 f2.8 from Sigma which ran like ...

Nikon model Ian? Yes, that does interest me. F2.8 gives an extra stop, but value for money? Thanks I'll look into that.

D760 on it's way in....

hi Team I'm an ex Pentaxian making the move across purely for AF, general write speed & decent lens choice. Whilst I was happy with image quality, ergonomics, ease of use and stability system, the ...

Given your 3 options listed purely and your target niche; D800e for sure, However plenty of good suggestions outside of that. FWIW I have shot weddings and printed stunning A3 images with a 16mp ...

I come from Pentax, having similar or same sensors. I had the k5iis which had the 16mp sensor without AA filter. Became my go to camera, even at weddings. I don't crop a whole lot and a well taken ...

I've just arrived at Nikon with a low mileage used D800, which has the same output as my old Pentax k1. A number of the Pentax guys use to wax lyrical about DR being one of those Pentax traits they ...

I'll keep you on speed dial Ian...

He claims the firmware is up to date. Had no manual so I'll have to download it. Lots to learn with Nikon but time will take care of that I think it may be back focusing a little. 50mm f1.8 is ...

Mike, I think the noted problems that occur are legitimate but slightly blown out of proportion by social media and internet. I understand a couple of 'known' issues with D800 but not expecting ...

He had shifted from the UK to Australia, kids and family, mortgages and car bills got in the way plus he's going back to film. Yes, the Nikon menu system is vastly different arrangement to Pentax, ...

Haha... damn mobile phones...

Went to look at the gear and did the deal: D800 body low count. Sigma 24 70 f2.8 ex drinkable macro Nikon 50mm f1.8 3x batteries Bag Sb900 speedlight 4 x manfrotto lastolight studio strobes Hot ...

I got paid by a promoter last year to cover a couple of techno trance gigs. My boys were into it and had the contact. $$$ was ok  but not huge. It pays to get to know promoters or bands themselves ...

The lens advertised has an aperature ring which I'm finding hard to differentiate models and year. Early model sigmas can be a bit dodgy. The writing on the lens barrell is: 24-70mmD1:2.8 EX DG clu ...

Mark, The whole kit will include an ex dg lens and aware of programming issues even with newer Pentax cameras. Luckily I live in Melbourne Australia where the importer has a big reputation for service.

Thanks ian Good to hear from you. Looking likely now. A body, two lenses, three batteries, flash plus a studio lighting set up, cables, bags etc for 3700 AUD.

Interesting to note various comparison sites give the Pentax k1 the lead, but that's facts and figures vs real life write speed and AF. I suspect while k1 has some bells and whistles the D800 and ...
