That is the real question, what is IQ to you? To me it's not sharpness, it's smooth bokeh and how a lens renders. I can see this in a downsampled to 800X600 web display.

Right. Olympus made the mistake of thinking larger sensors were always going to be $$$$ when they designed the 4/3 E1 system. It seems foolish for nikon to design a completely new mount, after ...

They wouldn't be 10X as expencive. Depends on the sensor size, current lenses would likely cover something like a 32X32 sensor or 30X30 anyway. I shot for many years with a square format film ...

It's a fools dream but count me in as one of those fools. I shot many square format film cameras over the years and they were 100% my favorite. I'll admit, I see square. I still end up cropping ...

What exactly do you think he will be shooting at events?

Why would they make a 300mm f2.8 and all those f1.4 optics if that was true?

When I saw the hipster brass lens, it all made sense.

Nope, a real pro knows what images sell and impress clients. And a client NEVER looks at the image at 100%. I get the most oohs and aahs using lenses the majority of people here turn up their ...

If they are limiting their optic choices based on size/bulk, possibly so.

I have NO IDEA where you get this from. I own a D4 and a D700 and both are built like tanks. A D7200 or a D750 feel like a toy compared to them.

You will probably like the D4 too, I'm loving mine. I have a D800 for landscapes (who cares if the AF is perfect in that use, I'm not using it!) and a D700/D4 for portraits. My D750 only has 600 ...

Hmm I'm selling my D750 but keeping my D700 and in fact just sent it to nikon for a refurb and got a new D3 battery for the grip...

But you don't want to open the lens up more than f5.6? O.o I'm not trying to be a jerk, but your OP is asking why keep the 80-200 f2.8 and the answer is to have the option of using f2.8-5.6. If you ...

Why even use  FX or even a DX camera if you never plan to open the lens up past f5.6? The 80-200 really shines and shows it's lovely rendering between f2.8-4. If bulk and reach + VR are your main ...

So you never plan to use anything wider than f5.6, ever? O.o

I believe it was around $250 and the camera looks and works like new!

Much less ever shot with one...

It doesn't matter what you are talking about, mountain bikes vs road bicycles, even brands of bicycles or motorcycles, I've seen the same thing with model railroaders getting all nasty about what ...

I'm not messing with mine. It actually came with global AF fine tune set at -11. I was a tad worried about that but after about 1500 frames and there is like one shot that missed focus (and was ...

Wow, I have absolutely no idea what you are even talking about. Deleted what? You can't delete posts or even edit them on this forum after a few minutes of them being posted. And maybe try to ...
