cetoole Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think that is Jeff's new house. Which of the windows leads to the listening room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Don't need one of those but I do need some lenses. I have not been paying much attention but it does not appear a lot of good new lenses have flooded the Nikon market since I last checked. I need an 85 f1.4 and I guess the 24-70. Anything else new and exciting that you guys have tried? Looks like I will knock another Zoo of the list tomorrow and visit the National Zoo.

falkon Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Nikon users, I was at Best Buy checking out the D600. It looks like a great camera but I can't seem to figure out how to change AF points from single to zone etc.. and how to change AF mode from AF-S to AF-A etc.. On my 7d, I have a button on top to bring up the menu and the wheel will adjust it. Or I can press Q and scroll down to the option I want to change. I can't seem to find such a feature on the D7000 and D600. I saw an <i> button which seems to do the same thing on the D3200 and D5100 but I can't find it on the D600/D7000. I'm sure I must be missing something. Nikon can't possibly make you have to go into the menu to change these commonly used modes on a semi-pro body right?

crappyjones123 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 On the d7000 I think it's on the left side of the lens. Press the little button and use one of the scroll wheels to change af mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ah, I see that now. It's covered at Best Buy because they don't want you removing the lens. What about AF point selection? Where you choose between spot, single, zone, expansion, auto, etc...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 It's a multi-function button and changes that as well iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't have the body anymore but I think one wheel toggles between various modes and the other one allows you to pick sub settings as Nate said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbigger Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 here's my latest shot frm Zion. Trying to catch fall colours but alas, not yet.....gotta go to higher elevation. entered the drawings for subway but didnt get it and here's the kicker: it limit up to 20 group / day. Me and one other friend entered the draw and up to 30 mins before it closes, there's 20 participants. And yet we didn't get it!!! Could it be that the last 30 mins there's at least 5 more entries ? Very unlikely or very unfortunate. Thats all I can say. Went to Narrows instead which IMO a mini Subway.

justin Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Here's one from the 2010 archives, in the Canadian Rockies: Summer Blooms at Emerald Lake probably my favorite one so far. have you made any large prints to see how they scale?

Iron_Dreamer Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 probably my favorite one so far. have you made any large prints to see how they scale? Oh yes. D700 files (like that one) are great at 20x30, assuming it's a good shot to begin with. I haven't had a chance to try the D800's capability to print yet, but I'm sure it will be impressive.

VPI Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Decided to try the old 85 f1.4D instead of the newer G as there are so many die hard fans out there. Definitely not a fan of the speed or noise but the focus seems to be good after the slow focusing. Like the narrow focus plane but I think a Nikon G or Sigma 85 f1.4 might be in order.

Looks like there are already long threads on this issue like this one: http://www.flickr.com/groups/d600club/discuss/72157631688454226/ I still havent' bothered to send in my 5D III for the "light leak" thing, but I need to remind myself to NOT buy new cameras right off the bat..

That lens is all about bokeh, pure and simple. It has a lot of built-in spherical aberration that makes it inherently softer the the G model or the Sigma, but it has a unique bokeh. If that's what you're after, then you're golden. If it doesn't do it for you, then there's not much reason to keep that lens in your bag, as compared to the other options.
