Then sell it all in the fall because you hate it.

Maybe, but i doubt it. The Sony sensors are where it is at.

It's nice to be Jeff. 

 

Also +1 re. Sony sensors. 

Inherited/got a RX100 for Christmas so I messed around with it during a trip to Naples last week. IMO, this was my nicest shot all day.

 

^^^ Very nice, Raffy, but stick that bad boy in any editing app (even iPhoto will do), and straighten the horizon.  Pretty amazing what that little Sony can do.

Nice photo, and nice colors.  Which generation RX100 is it?

 

Mine's a 1st generation one, and I really envy the viewfinder the III has.  I do much worse composing on a rear screen.

Hey Michael!  Happy 2015 to your and your family!

Great shot, Raffy.

Hey Michael!  Happy 2015 to your and your family!

Same here, Michael, and nice to see you around here.

Anybody with any experience with a Tamron SP 17 - 35mm f/2.8-4.0 Di?

 

I'm intending to use it on a D700 body.  I've read some good things about it.

Get a good copy and it's a great bargain. On a D800 for a filterable ultra wide. I wouldn't use it on a 36MP body, but it worked well for me ok n the 700.

Got the gear today only to find out none of the software I have PS CS5, Lightroom 4 and Aperture can be updated to work with the D750 RAW files.

Get the adobe cc photography subscription. $10/month. 

Really thinking about going with DXO Optics first before sticking with PS.  Not really a fan of Adobe.

 

Quick 12,800 ISO shot in a darkish room.

 

Jeez 12800...

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

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. 

Wow, that resolution at 12800 is really impressive.

SOOC (cropped) Samples.  I seem to have front focus issues with this Sigma 35.

You should be able to dial those issues out, no?  Even on the D7000 there is a focus plane adjustment that you can make lens specific. 

Yeah I will use the LensAlign system when I get a L Plate so I can set it up on a tripod.  Should be able to get it right if it is not too far out.

Did you get the Sigma Art dongle? I thought you can adjust it permanently there.

^ Yep, and the Sigma dock will also let you adjust it at different distances, as well as update lens firmware. I stopped using mine, except for firmware update, when it apparently reset the adjustments I'd made without my permission. Could very well have been a user error, but I just use the in camera adjustment since my lens had very little differences at different focus distance.

Does the sigma software let you tweak at different F-stops too? 

 

For lenses that focus perfectly at F(max) but front/backfocus at F(2 stops less)?

^ Unfortunately, no. That would've been a nice feature, though. No wonder if they could add it with future updates.

FWIW, the Sigma software interface is terrible. A better translation/localization to English would help greatly.
