[QUOTE="BBrown, post: 49019, member: 9119"] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times]Decisions, decisions. Canon or Nikon? I had to take the plunge and decide on a Canon 5D Mk 3 or a Nikon D800. Canon people seem to gravitate towards Canon and Nikon towards Nikon. It's akin to Ford people vs Chevy people. To commit to the digital realm, I was faced with a complete equipment replacement. Everything I own is film. I have a Canon F-1 that I bought back in 1974. My favorite go-to lens was their 35mm f1.4. Unfortunately, my lenses are all C-mount and therefore not backwards compatible. High ISO's were not a factor as I rarely, if ever, shoot sports or action events. In the analogue world, my primary film was Kodak Tri-X 400 shot and developed with a 2-stop variation for shadow depth. I feel both the Canon and Nikon have pluses and minuses. Without going into all of the fine details, I decided to jump ship and go with the Nikon D800, Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G and the Nikon - AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens.
