Doug, have you considered of the computer on chip options? Something like the Raspberry Pi stuff?

That's pretty amazing. Wonder how the A7S does compared to the D750 for high iso shooting. Surely the D750 focuses faster/has more lenses.

I doubt the d800 could do that. Care to post a full resolution file of that one?

Jeez 12800...

I'd appreciate that Brent. The cost of attendance at Paris is working against it at this point. I know she would prefer a road trip in Ireland to Rome so that leaves Santorini. A few friends have been there but all of them on day breaks on cruises. None have spend more than a few hours there.

Thanks Antonio. September is out because some of my classes have mandatory attendance. The little time in May is the only time neither one of us has class.

A brief history of time. Stephen Hawkings sense of humor is just the perfect kind.

Trying to plan a summer trip to surprise Julie. So far I've short listed Paris, Santorini, a drive up the west coast of Ireland (admittedly this is something I've wanted to do for a long time but she expressed interest in as well), and Rome. May 8-16/17 seems to be the only time available to both our schedules. Instead of trying to rush through things and visiting multiple places in a day, I'd prefer to just stick around one city and venture out (barring of course the Ireland trip. Can anyone suggest one vs the other for that time of year? The prices are more or less the same. Neither of us drink or smoke in case that rules in or out any particular locations. PS. or any other place really. We had a great time in New Orleans but the rough cost of visiting is pretty much the same. I figured, travel within the US is easier and can be done at other times (thanksgiving break/spring break) so was trying to do something across the pond.

It's nice to be Jeff. Also +1 re. Sony sensors.

Very nice Mike. What speakers are those?

After a 27 hour marathon editing session, I am finally done with the lab manual I was making for one of the classes. It feels good to be done but I am so exhausted that I can't even sleep. I'm sure I'll crash soon but man this thing took forever but I am proud of the final product.

Forgot about that. If you want to go real light, I'd suggest the RX1 as well over the X100/S/T. Full frame + much better IQ is well worth the price difference.

On the elbow? Nope

The mirrorless bodies lose value VERY fast. Especially Sony and Fuji gear so keep that in mind. They both release new bodies every few months.

If the d800 is out, take a look at the Sony a7s. It's a fantastic body and will mate with your legacy nikon glass as well. Also what Jeff said. I sold the 35 when I had the 50 because they were basically the same focal length to me for what I was shooting with them. Take a few steps back you get a 35. Move a little forward and you have a 50. With the ability to seriously crop you often didn't even have to step closer. The 24-70 seems to fit kinda the same pocket that a 50 fills. If I were walking around, id pick the 50 and maybe a 15 uwa if you want to get real wide.

85G @ f/2.2

The d750 is a popular body amongst wedding pros on Fred Miranda for what it's worth.

I think the big difference will most likely be af speed. Low light performance is probably the same these days. The loxia lenses are great but I think too slow for event photography like at a wedding where fast af locks are crucial. Then again, people are shooting weddings with fuji xt1s with great success which I thought was very slow compared to the d800.

Damn, exif says 6:41am. I don't remember it being that harsh but it was June so perhaps it was.

Thank you gene. I think it was around 9am perhaps. I can check the exif when I get home.

Alyson. 85/1.8G.

I buy exclusively from Fred Miranda forum now after that giant debacle with Adorama. BH has always been good to me but I can't justify new gear costs and Amazon charges sales tax now so they are out. Sticking to the forum has cured my impatience to a degree as often the gear I want isn't available and by the time it appears I realize I don't really need it in the first place. The only lenses I can see myself buying in the future are the rokinon 135, sigma 85 art and maybe an ultrawide Zeiss (I've stayed away from this mostly because I don't find myself travelling enough to where I can justify an $800-$1000 lens just sitting on the shelf. Might give the rokinon 14 a try again as it is around $250 used but they have such a big decentering issue that it almost isn't worth it. People swear by their good copies though.

That's what I was trying to say but I guess I didn't clearly. I kept going after multiple copies of the 85G because of what dxo rated the lens at and well, what you had to say about yours. The samples I was getting certainly were not anywhere close to what the testing shows. Maybe I just have bad luck with that lens. The 35 art was supposed to have some issues as well but I got myself a super sharp copy in the first go. The same with the 50 art. Had to go through a couple of zeiss 135s to get a good copy. Just wish I could afford to keep that lens. Man that thing was gorgeous. Smoother and sharper wide open than the 85G at any f stop.

That's pretty good for a hospital. All the ones I go to get maybe a Mb/s at best. It's pointless to even connect to it.
