[QUOTE="Boompa, post: 595270, member: 43003"] Photography is a humbling experience... especially when you are tackling a new camera system as complex as the Nikon D750. (Sigh) AS IT TURNS OUT... I should have been reading less and examining the camera more. I SOMEHOW (no- I have NO idea how!) dialed in a grotesque amount of exposure compensation and as any properly operating camera should- it believed me and the D750 did as it was instructed! <Go figure> I was so busy studying the myriad of menus and proper set-up that I missed the OBVIOUS over and over again. Never ASSume anything, right? SO... as I was sure was the case: OPERATOR ERROR! DOH! Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure I'll have lots more (dumb) questions. LOL! ALL of this adventure began after wanting to add a full-frame system after spending the last several years with the Olympus system- which I love for it's size and IQ but as you know it's NOT the same as FF. (I'll be keeping both systems as I have 3 bodies and 8 or 9 Olympus lenses.) In the past, my full-frame experience was with the Canon 5D (original body) and a variety of Canon glass but I found in particular i enjoyed their 135mm f2 for portraits... along with the various Canon 85mms. (I owned both the 1.2L and the 1.4). BUT... after reading the reviews of the new D750 and comparing the price with the latest 5D Canon bodies I jumped into Nikon. I'm finding the 135 f2 DC a fascinating lens with much to explore. I opted for the less expensive 85mm f1.4G and bought the 24-70 for a walk-around lens and the big 200-500 because we live on a lake with lots of eagles, gulls, etc. ANYWAY... that's more than anyone wanted to know. I began exploring photography with an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic w/ 50mm f1.4 lens in 1968- ALMOST 50 years ago my first year in college. OK... back to exploring the new toys.
