crappyjones123 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks Jacob, I usually do. Not sure how I ended up with Anurag though She has a lovely smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Julie is never allowed on my phone again. I am in love with my d800. The full frame viewfinder coupled with dedicated buttons for iso, wb, bracketing are addicting. Still don't know how to use bracketing but learning. I find myself using the 35mm lens almost exclusively so the 50mm is FS. But the body is beautiful. It's heavy and bulky but I never got perfectly nice shots at ISO 2000 on the nex rig.

crappyjones123 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have the same focal lengths as well. Zeiss 35/2 and 50/1.4 but like the 35 much better. The bokeh out of the 50/1.4 is considered nicer but I don't like it as much. I am trying to see what all the hoopla is about with the defocus control lenses. FF is certainly the way to go.

Salt Peanuts Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sigma: World's first f/1.8 constant aperture zoom for Canon, Nikon, Sigma APS-C DSLRs I wonder how much this sucker is going to weigh (and cost). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 More info on the sigma website: http://www.sigma-global.com/en/lenses/cas/product/art/a_18_35_18/features.html That USB dock that lets you adjust focus position etc is fricking cool.

Knuckledragger Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 About what you'd expect. I'm surprised how lousy Nikon's menus are. Also, Alamby is teh cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I don't know how they are now, but compared to the Canon menus, the menu on D700 was painful. Of course, there's always the convoluted menus on Olympus. I wonder how the menus on other companies compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 As Jacob said, I don't really feel the need to go into any menu's ever. Aperture = front wheel. Iso = rear wheel. Camera controls shutter speed in Aperture mode. In Manual, the shutter speed function goes to the rear wheel and the iso changes with the dedicated button.

Cankin Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've owned 7D, D7000, NEX 7, E-PL5 and others. I honestly am indifferent to their menus, and don't think one is superior than others. No one should spend more than a few days to master them. I mean, how many apps are on our phones? they all have different interface. We are so getting use to new interface these days.

I wouldn't worry too much about exposure bracketing with the D800. At base ISO, the files have so much dynamic range that there's really no need for it. If you'd bracket just to try to get the "right" exposure, you'd probably waste less shots and memory card space, and learn more, by just taking one shot at a time, and adjusting exposure based on what you see in the histograms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I don't recommend selling the 50, there's a reason why it was the go to lens for film...you may find yourself wanting it again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Playing with the 50/1.4. The bokeh is nervous and hot sometimes but other times it's very pleasing. Don't know how to replicate the pleasing stuff but I haven't used it enough to notice what the variables are. Playing with HDR in Lightroom.

MexicanDragon Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Did anyone post info about the LR5 beta? http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2013/04/lightroom-5-beta-now-available.html?PID=4485850 If so, I missed it, but everyone's fav site Newegg has LR4 for 80$ http://slickdeals.net/f/5979184-Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom-4-for-Windows-Mac-Full-Version-APB-Reloaded-for-80-Free-Shipping **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) ^ That sucks, Reks. I'm wondering if your LCD glass/cover is defective - never had issues with them chipping in variety of devices I've owned in the past (at least not without some kind of accident).

The Expanding Man Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks to everyone who responded to my query a couple of pages back about the merits of selling my DX outfit to go micro 4/3. I took the Olympus EP-3 and a panasonic 14-140 zoom out to the zoo yesterday. This was the very first shot I took: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 BlackRapid customer service FTW. So I have a few BlackRapid bits and pieces - strap, SnapR bags - and lost the wrist strap piece from one. No biggie, but thought, what the hell, let's see what they do. Sent an email to their generic customer service email this morning. As soon as they opened (Seattle time), I got an email saying they would send me a replacement - no questions, no charge, no fuss. Sure, it's probably a $1 item at cost, but I was still impressed, so want to spread the word of the good experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have found the BlackRapid people to be excellent at events and in customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Bummer you still have to send it in (I'm assuming), but it's nice that AmEx is covering the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
