GRUBERND

from someone who worked with a D700 from autumn 2008 on and still loves that camera: pre-ordering (a first for me) the D500 two days after the announcement was the best decision gearwise i ever...

now that's how you label technical devices.
even the shoemount screw diameter is there. <3

they even build an extra version for the imperial crowd, how cute.

pana G6, 9-18mm, f4, iso1250, 1/800 .. that's pretty much the edge of everything. that turn was pretty much the only place on a 500m track i...

large apertures were used long before anyone cared about bokeh.

for example to be able to shoot lower iso while keeping exposure time short. i run into limitations with my optically excellent Oly...

i'm with PhotoKhan on this one. colors look dull and mushy. especially in the transitional colors from red to green (yellow, orange, brown) that define how skin and pizza look.

reminds me of the...

oh, you young ones!
developers were a thing of film based photography, they got all cancelled after we found the new ways of digital.

what do you need a developer for in digital photography?

sure, but are they building a camera and hired a Chief Camerist or are they devoloping a strategy and hired a Chief Strategist?

also i think way too often pre-products are placed into the hands of...

a _strategist_ should never be a hardcore _user_ , imo. you want someone who knows enough to be involved, but also has a much broader approach.
a hardcore hassianist would never question anything...

as i have been doing a lot of exif-digging and image comparing recently i can easily say what my most used (D700 + 24-120), most loved & personal (GF5 + 20/1.7 II), most photographically successful...

Barney, if your Grandma also writes your comments, i'd like to be adopted. =)

exactly. my most favourite lens is the Panasonic 20mm/f1.7 II despite all the Nikon stuff i have floating around. still hoping for a faster AF version III.

hehe, i really want to see you do that at a wedding, registering somewhere between 50 to 200 peoples faces so you can use face-AF. =)

having the Nikon D500 i can confirm: impressive.
but i didnt dare to shoot a wedding with it, yet. because subject tracking fails miserably if you have too many faces in the frame.

the only...

do you really have to set the gradients _before_ taking any picture or could you go out to run-tripod-and-gun the fleeting moments with a standard bracketing set and do the fiddling later?

it takes a Leica to give us a monochrome title image.
well, at least we got one. =)

PS: nice review. i always wanted to like rangefinders but the UX brought me back to a SLR every time. and that...

just what most of them need.
