[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 145227, member: 13076"] Just for fun here are a couple more examples of photos taken with the combination of the 300 mm f2.8 Ai-S lens without the teleconverter showing what you can do with a 20 year old manual focus lens with the D800. Here's the original uncropped image. [ATTACH=CONFIG]35361._xfImport[/ATTACH] And here's 100% crop, and nothing was done to this image apart from a little bit of adjustment in the curves (LUT) and slight reduction in the green color channel. [ATTACH=CONFIG]35362._xfImport[/ATTACH] Another example full field.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]35363._xfImport[/ATTACH] And 100% crop... [ATTACH=CONFIG]35364._xfImport[/ATTACH] Keep in mind that this is 300 mm so this bird is pretty far off. These are not really great photos but they illustrated to me at least that this lens has some real utility and resolving power with the D800. To be able to pick up details in the feathers from that kind of distance still to me is just incredible. Here is the pic info for those techies out there. :) NIKON D800 Aperture 5.6 Exposure Time 1/1600 (0.000625 sec) Focal Length 300.0 mm Aperture-priority AE Metering Mode Multi-segment Sensing Method One-chip color area Custom Rendered Normal Exposure Mode Auto White Balance Auto Focal Length In 35 mm Format 300 mm Scene Capture Type Standard Gain Control Low gain up Contrast Normal Saturation Normal Sharpness Normal F Number 5.6 Exposure Compensation +1/3 ISO 400 [/QUOTE]
