That is a beautiful photo illustrating the capability of the AIS lens and how it stands up even today. I was curious about what exactly did change, if anything, in the optical formula, so I did some digging and made a cutaway comparison of the AIS lens on the left and the G lens on the right...

Ok here are examples of test shots I completed a moment ago. In this image the corner of the speaker was selected and boom! So I tried something more complex like these leaves. The center leaf was selected. Here's a comparison with f/1.4 on the left and f/2.8 on the right. And although...

Here's a couple of old photos of me long ago. When I was 16 as a yearbook photographer in high school... When I was 19 at Expo 86 in Vancouver...(at that stage I would always be shooting with a tripod...I still have that same tripod/head). Part of me wishes to be at that beginning again...

Not mine but I shot it anyway.

From a trip far away....a few years back.

Hehe, it is latin. Cry as in cry-baby, co as in "sew" (sewing machine), cy as in *sigh*, and "on" just like saying "on top of old smokey". It is a variation of the species name of the maned wolf, my favorite animal (my bachelors degree is in zoology)....

Ok well funny the discussion about 2/3rds, so today the post office helped me make it to 2/3rds. Whew! On the D7000.... On the D800.... The sharpness and contrast is amazing even when looking at the images on the LCD screen, but I've only done test shooting so far this evening. I...

Not doing the choke, but still managing a reasonable imitation. :cool: (yes that's me in costume)

Well ok she isn't really a supermodel, but she certainly is to me. :DShot with the D7000, 18-55mm.This particular one shot below with the 55-200 DX VR (cropped from original). This one below was with the 50 mm 1.4G on the D7000.Back to the 18-55....And one with a D700, 50 mm 1.8D....

Below is a conversation I had with Zeiss about the performance of their lenses for DSLRs. Zeiss' replies are in bold. I would hope you might review this report comparing Zeiss lenses with Nikon and other lenses in terms of performance: DxOMark - Nikon D800 and standard lens choices I have a...

Here are sample images from the zoom taken at near closest focus (not macro) for 100, around 135, and 300 mm...shot at f/5.6 and had to bump up the ISO to 3200 on the D7000. Shot handheld with the built-in camera flash. The only postprocessing is a bit of lightening up of the images, otherwise...

I have a question about the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (which are not rechargeable btw). I bought a few and had them in the MB-D12 grip of my D800, and camera is not seeing the grip batteries no matter what type I select. The grip buttons work fine with the camera, but the camera only...

So I did a lot of test shooting on the weekend and had to come up with a standardized way of shooting so I can compare across cameras and lenses so I decided to use the "Angel of Resolution". ;) Easy model to shoot because she doesn't move. Images taken raw, no post-processing. First showing...

I miss my dog....

Yes, there's also a 105 mm f/1.8 that I've been tempted about as well. Here is a photo I found of one next to the 180 2.8.

It was like Christmas as yesterday I picked up at the post office both the 180mm f/2.8 Ai-S and the 100-300 f/5.6 Ai-S lenses that arrived coincidentally, and took some photos of them on my D7000 and D800. I'll be doing some test images but the initial ones seemed very promising (I'll post some...

An unfair fight? 35mm vs Medium Format: Nikon D800E and the Leica S2-P Not sure if this was posted before (sorry if so), but what an amazing comparison. My jaw is still on the floor in regard to how well the D800e (originally $3300) kept up with a $26k camera (and that's body only).

Winners: Five prizes for ZEISS lenses at iF awards 2013 | Camera Lens Blog In particular, their new 50 mm 1.4 lens. Interesting design. I certainly hope that these lenses will perform much better than the present ZF.2 line which I've stayed away from on account of less than impressive...

Some beautiful country bridges. I thought I would throw a few photos together of a big city bridge (and an old one from that, it opened in 1906, the Longfellow Bridge). ;)
