Wish I had the extra benjamins for this one.... Nikon Ed Nikkor 400mm F2 8 AIS Lens with Case 0018208021277 | eBay Amazing deal.

Had some fun today with the D800 plus 85 mm 1.4 G....first time I had the lens really stretch its legs in terms of what it was meant to do (excuse the pun). Also got to test my new flash secret weapon, which seemed to work pretty well on the ladies. :cool: All of the shots below include flash...

Went with a couple of photography friends and my wife to a nature reserve on Sunday and here are a few pics. The area was actually kind of desolated by hurricane sandy but still managed to get a few shots. I tried out the 300 2.8 Ai-S with 1.6 autofocus teleconverter on the D800. I was...

Got my flash yesterday, Rogue Flashbender last week, and a fifth battery compartment today. Watch out, ladies! I have a new secret weapon for portrait photography, hehe. :cool:

Didn't make it to the memorial service for the slain MIT officer today but saw this on the way home....

Actually went out after work today to shoot some stuff around downtown. Cold evening, but nice overcast. All of these images were taken with the Nikon D800 and 85 mm 1.4 G lens. This was an exercise in sticking with just one focal length. Note the flag at half mast in tribute to those lost...

I was out with my wife today walking downtown when the bombs went off in Boston at the Boston Marathon and man all the activity of police, ambulances heading to MGH, FBI vehicles, police escorts, so many helicopters in the sky, people on cell phones leaving the scene....parts of the subway shut...

So I finally got the 300 mm f/2.8 Ai-S lens and this particular one is the last generation of MF lens prior to the AF line coming out. These lenses were made between March 1986-December 2005 (based on the SN) and have a close focus of 3m. Below are photos of it on my D800 along with the 1.6x AF...

Nikon TC-16A Autofocus Teleconverter for Ai-S Nikkor Lenses One of these babies should be arriving hopefully tomorrow or Thursday....below are photos but not mine because I don't have it yet. This is an autofocus teleconverter custom modified to work with the latest Nikon DSLRs with internal...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I couldn't find a video section here, so I thought I would start a thread discussing D800 in a video rather than still capacity. If anyone uses the D800 for video or has a nice vid rig they'd like to show please do! I just got the Rode pro mic and after an initial test it certainly has nice...

Visited the National Museum of Natural History at Harvard University yesterday...My wife took this in the glass flowers exhibit with the D7000 (yes these are hand made of glass...I cropped it a bit)...And the rest I took with the D800 w. 50 mm 1.4G.
