    Micro Nikkor 55 mm f2.8 Ai-S on the Nikon D800 and Nikon F4

    So I got the Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 Ai-S lens today. :D Holy cow. I was expecting a very good lens, but I wasn't expecting what it could do with the D800. This lens is an entirely different realm as far as what it can do with the close focusing and resolving power. I'm still trying to get my...

    Nikon 28mm f2.8 Ai-S lens test with Nikon D800 (Nikon F4 also featured)

    Nikon 24mm f2.8 Ai-S lens test with Nikon D800 (Nikon F4 also featured) So I got the Nikon 24mm f2.8 Ai-S lens today. She's a beaut as all Ai-S lenses are. First thing I did was put her on the F4, and then the D800 and I did some test shots with the "resolution Angel". :D It seems that the best...

    For the Nikon collector who has everything :)

    I thought this was pretty cool. Wouldn't mind having it but a bit pricey for a collectible. Excellent Sharan Megahouse Mini Classic Nikon F Black Miniature 123 | eBay Here's a less expensive one but not black...

    NIKON F4 vs NIKON D4 vs NIKON D800 vs Nikon D7000 w. AF-S lenses :D

    So I got my Nikon F4 today. Imagine. I purchased it from a guy in Japan on the 28th. It arrived today. Wow. That was fast. Well, when I got my D4 recently, the excitement factor was around 8/10. Funny enough, the excitement factor of getting this F4 was 9/10. Why? Firstly, it is darn...

    Been dying to try the Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 on my D800 (and it will be great to try with the F4 as well), so please permit me a bit more indulgence....(can't believe the great deals on Ebay) :o

    Nikon 24mm f2.8 AI-S lens. (I really need to stay away from this thread, hehe) The reason behind this is I really need a wide-angle and this one will do for the time being while I save up for a 24 1.4G. Incidentally, this is the first 24mm I've EVER owned. I've always previously used a 28mm...

    Nikon D4 quick portrait :)

    I had a co-worker visit my office and so I was demonstrating the Nikon D4 shooting ability and quality. What is fun is how I can hold the camera up without looking at the viewfinder or screen, point it at a subject and it just shoots away. And he was a great sport in letting me post these images...

    Nikon F3, F4, or F5 ????

    So I'm looking to get a Nikon film camera. Well, actually I would like to just collect the vintage pro film cameras but have to decide which one to get first out of the Nikon F3 HP, Nikon F4s, or Nikon F5. I'm leaning toward the F4s for now because it has the best deals on Ebay (I'd like as mint...

    Nikon 300 mm f2.8 AI-S with TC-301 2x converter and Nikon D800

    So I got the TC-301 converter today for my 300 mm f2.8 AI-S lens and of course I'd like to show off the setup here, in this instance with the Nikon D800 :D Also I did some test shots using the resolution Angel and wow I was actually very impressed with the image quality with this converter. I'm...

    Nikon D4 with 300 mm f2.8 AI-S lens and Vanguard head

    Just playing around with the new Vanguard ABH-340K head I got today. Man, this thing is much smaller and lighter than the ancient 3-way head I had (which you can see in my thread with the D800 w. this same telephoto lens). Adjusting the tension on the ball is pretty easy once you get the hang of...

    Why so few modern Nikon lenses?

    I was flipping through an old Nikon lens brochure from 1982. There are 61 lenses. Nikon lists 83 lenses presently on their website, but a lot of those are MF and older D lenses, or DX lenses. If we narrow the search to only FX AF-S lenses, there are only 36. Why? Here's the 1982 lineup...

    Nikon D4 vs D800 with 85 mm 1.4G and 50 mm 1.4G

    Got the D4 today. Just admiring it in so many ways. It is actually lighter than my D800 with the grip+batteries. That was a surprise. What wasn't surprising is how this thing can focus in terms of speed and low light focus ability. There are also details on my white wall that would make the D800...

    After a bit of online research, found this option for a tripod head. I'm used to a 3 way manfrotto head so this is new territory for me. Good for 88 lbs (!).
