[QUOTE="DW_, post: 49059, member: 8667"] You know, I think the issue of moire is way overstated. As Nikon points out, there are a variety of ways to remove moire w/o post processing. The medium and large format studio photographers have never had AA yet seem to have no issue with aliasing. Simply moving to a slightly different angle and/or stopping down the aperture will remove any problems. So any worry I have of dealing with the remote possibility of aliasing is easily outweighed by the additional bump in sharpness and clarity. Moreover, the bulk of my photography is at mid-aperture anyway, which will seldom if ever introduce aliasing, not to mention simply choosing a slightly different focus point. Here's Nikon's official take on the subject. There are a few things that you can do to minimize the false color and moiré that is inherent in a camera that does not incorporate an optical low pass filter. The best way to solve the problem is to fix the shooting situation before the image is captured. [LIST] [*]Since the angle of the camera and subject causes moiré, slightly changing the angle of the camera (by rotating the camera) can remove or change any moiré that is present. [*]Changing the angle relationship by moving left or right, up or down can reduce moiré. [*]Moiré is caused by very sharp focus and high detail on fine patterns; slightly changing the focus point changes the sharpness and can help to remove moiré. [*]Different lenses or focal length settings can be used to alter or remove moiré. [*]Stop the lens down about 3 f/stops from its maximum aperture. This requires you to shoot around f/5.6 or f/8 all the time. Stopping the lens down to a smaller aperture (such as f/11 or f/16) will cause diffraction to lower the sharpness, reducing the benefit of the OLPF. This will easily negate the benefits of the D800E. [*]You can remove the false color in post-production, on the computer easier than you can the moiré pattern itself. Nikon Capture NX2’s moiré reduction tool for NEF (RAW) files may be able to remove some or all of the color moiré that does appear in the final image. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
