[QUOTE="Brian, post: 218118, member: 17621"] I'll probably pick up a D800e for work, to replace the D1x. Have the 70~180 Micro-Nikkor-Zoom, 200/4 AF-Micro-Nikkor, 105/2.8 , and 60/2.8- all bought with the pair of D1x's. But for personal use, I'm more interested in vintage glass. Nick wrote: "50+ years photography experience (mostly Canon gear)." You must have started using Canon RF's?

Both the Nikkor and Canon were based on the Zeiss Sonnar, but "not copies". They have their differences. I did a two-point calibration to get the focal length correct to the Leica standard. Wide-Open on a Leica M8. I have a Nikon L-F adapter, but will be useful for close-up only. [/QUOTE]
