gdizzle Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Soo, if anyone wants to give me a late bday present a d7000+ 105mm f2.8 Micro would be an awesome surprise :lol: I have both, and as you know, both are awesome. The D7000 + the MBD-11 grip makes it 1k times better feeling in your hands, I have big hands and it helped tremendously. I've been nothing short of amazed w/ the D7000, truly an awesome camera.

Zaitz Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Awesome Went to shoot some bikers few weeks ago.. I was lasy and have't touched the pics since then.. not even sorting... Was fun, later I'll upload some more. But, the best part.. we found out how to use a canon 400d + 70-200 f4L Right on my birthday last month a local photoshop held a Nikon open day. It was awesome, we could actually try out most of the lenses and bodies.. D3x + 300mm f2.8 felt pretty damn heavy.. and also expensive Played around a bit with the D7000, I like, awesome body. I would totally buy it.. altough the d300s felt better in my hands. That was a really fun day. Soo, if anyone wants to give me a late bday present a d7000+ 105mm f2.8 Micro would be an awesome surprise :lol: Nice! D3x would be boss. I'm interested to see where Nikon goes next. Hopefully there aren't long delays but I guess it's expected. Got lucky with some storm clouds: Edited May 12, 2011 by Zaitz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Zach, that is excellent. I'm assuming it's digital? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Zach, that is excellent. I'm assuming it's digital? Yeah. The b&w film from that day, so far, doesn't look that great. I am hoping some of the color film turns out well but I am sure I missed the best moments with it. The composition was the same for all of them too, which sucks but I wanted to make sure I got it right. It looked like this when I got there: The scene developed over the next hour. Never was the light perfect for one shot, in my opinion. I masked in these images: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Shot from our room in the Oriental hotel, Bangkok. Cost me a bit of sleep because the lightning bolts were few and far between and when they did occur my shutter was usually closed Had to use a frikking Tamron 17-35 a friend gave me because the day before a waitress at breakfast dropped my bag and that didn't do my 16-35 any good (had been expecting this to happen for some time though..worst built L lens) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Shot from our room in the Oriental hotel, Bangkok.

Is the 16-35 known for being poorly built? The Tamron 17-35 is not a bad lens for the price (they can be had for $300 these days) and is my usual walk-around lens.

JCviggen Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 You could call it a functional fracture. That part is "supposed" to break off protecting the lens itself when it gets dropped. Unfortunately the 4 plastic tabs that hold it on are much too weak, you can find dozens of 16-35's broken this way some did it even when being fitted to a body. It is repairable, just a lot of hassle and 250-300 bucks in Europe to get it done. It's always the 16-35 II, the first version doesn't have this issue. I found the 17-35 to have quite a lot of barrel distortion at the wide end compared to the canon. I think it's been replaced with a newer model 17-50 some time ago, but for 250$ it's definitely not a bad lens, it would fare better on a crop body I'm sure.

The AF-I lens is quite cheap but can't be fixed if the AF breaks. I can get the raw file up later.

gdizzle Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like the color. I finally got two rolls of 120 and a roll of 135 developed of the new Kodak Portra 400.

Zaitz Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) The skins tones on Portra are pretty much perfect it seems. Here is the original: And the edit: Edited May 29, 2011 by Zaitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
