Well autofocus yes. Plenty of zeiss glass that is wider. Given that with super wide lenses you are normally shooting at infinity, the manual focus doesn't really matter. Set it to hfd and f/8 and shoot away. Don't even have to wait to focus.
I read tht really fast and it looked like you said you purchase the akg k1000 for $400. I was going to hate you but good thing I slowed down and read again.
I was given a choice of some free seats to a baseball game at marlins stadium.

Between the Baseline Reserved, Bullpen Reserved and Home run Porch, which seats would be the best? Never been to a baseball game and couldn't find a dedicated thread in the sports forum.
I seem to have very sensitive skin or the neck strap that came with the d800 is full of nasty bacteria (probably both). I finally took it out yesterday and woke up today with nasty inflammation and bumps on the back of my neck where the strap rested. Are there any straps that are considered hypoallergenic? Or made more carefully than perhaps the stock neckstrap?
I only have Lightroom, Ari. To my knowledge one needs Photoshop to be able to do stacking like that. But its a cool way to get around needing a filter. However I am not sure the cost of Photoshop is less than the cost of a filter even if there is some extra noise to contend with.
PS. Looking for open source stuff/plugins for LR that will do stacks on a macbook air. The amount of time spent shooting 30 frames and then processing them on a computer with 4gb ram might not be stomachable. Will give it a try tomorrow night though.
Thanks Dan. No filter unfortunately but the only times I really get to go out are lunch or night times so I think it wise to invest in one for these long exposures. But 10 second exposure at ISO 80 I think with some other exposure compensation that I can't remember. Might have been able to push the time longer with an nd filter and get longer light trails but quite pleased with how this one came out. The tripod has helped immensely. No way I could have pulled this off with that gorillapod.
