Sorry Pal. My evil advice is that nothing prevents you from owning both! Hehehe! LOL!:eagerness:

whats really on my mind, Is what gets me sharper, this lens on my D600 or say the Nikon 105 2.8g on a D800E? Does the lack of the filter on the D800E trump this lens on a camera with a filter (D6oo), Mp's aside.

Rick - honestly I can't say what makes the images that I post sharper. There are a lot of factors that can contribute to a really sharp image. My practice for shots that doesn't move is that I use a tripod, manual focus via live view, mirror-up, and use a remote. My tripod is very reliable and I know hand-holding my camera is not going to give me the results that I want or expect. I get more keepers when using this technique.

The D800E is an exceptional camera for the types of photography that I shoot except for sports which I rely more on my D7000 for faster fps and to keep my total shutter actuations with my D800E lower.

Here is another one with a different model. I used a speedlight to provide a fill flash since I was shooting against the sun.

@ f2 of course.

Might as well include this here. Taken with my lowly D7000 @ f2.8, 1/25mm, ISO 400, bounce flash using SB 900.

Fabulous! perfect timing for the Christmas season.

This time of year, I would love to use a photo like that for my Win 7 desktop, but I wouldn't get any work done because I'd be staring at the photo.:)

And I love the dreamy bokeh - what was your setup?

Hope you sell quite a few, and BTW did you resolve your d800 dilemma?

Thank you. That's exactly what I did for my desktop wallpaper. I have not had the chance to send my D800E to APS yet. I'm thinking of getting a $1,300 D600 from Cameta or just wait a year for the Df price to come down a bit.

Re: Set-up.
D7000 @ f2.8, 1/25mm, ISO 400, bounce flash using SB 900. Our Christmas tree is supposed to be the back ground but all you can see are these nice and rounded bokeh lights.

Don - nothing wrong with the D7000. I'm just being bitter since I don't have a FX camera that I can use at the moment. I can pay for a FX camera now but I am not in a hurry to get one. I'll wait for the right time to get the silver Df. ;)
