Zaitz Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looking great Greg. What don't you like about that camera? They seem to be having some issues that will be fixed with a firmware update but I don't know what those issues are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looking great Greg. What don't you like about that camera? They seem to be having some issues that will be fixed with a firmware update but I don't know what those issues are. It's start up is slow, very slow, over 5 seconds at times. It writes slow, even w/ fast cards. It's menus are convoluted and need cleaning up. It's got 5k different ways to switch between the EVF, OVF, or LCD, and a million different options for how each of those three are displayed. Probably the most annoying thing about it. Another top annoying feature about it is if you switch to "macro" it doesn't stay selected, so if you take a photo in macro mode, then go to the playback and then go back to shooting, you have to reselect macro mode again. So annoying. The dial on the back is flimsy and too sensitive, it will change your selection if you just barely touch it. Breathing on it would seem to affect it. The manual focus only works in manual focus mode and is SO SLOW that it's damn near pointless. All that said, the camera ROCKS on so many levels. The lens is PERFECT. There is something about it, it's just gorgeous and sharp. The feel is amazing. The images it produces is amazing. It renders JPG's like no other. SOC the images are damn near perfect. The Fuji Film simulations or "actions" are great, and are a really nice feature. The 1/16000th flash sync is money. The built in ND filter is incredibly useful and effective. It forces you to slow down much like a film camera does. The build quality is on par with Leica. The tactile dials are wondeful, and the exposure compensation shows in real time when in Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority, or even in full auto. I could go on and on about the Pro's of the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nari Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Nikon is smoking crack on their prices as of late. The new AF-S version of the 50 f1.8 is out.. for $220 the old one was like $120. The new Canon 50mm is still $120.. but that is a canon so no surprise The point is, to build up a proper nikon gear from ground up is getting reaaally expensive. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Spent some time with my 14-24 2.8G this evening. Awesome lens. Haven't used it all that much since I got it.

Zaitz Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 13 day road trip. One of the few I got of the redwoods: 4x5 HP5+ @320 in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 minutes. Crown Graphic Special - Caltar 75mm f/6.8 @f/32. Metered time of 6 seconds exposed for 36 to account for reciprocity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaitz Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Love It! Thank you. It was a fun road trip. But I didn't shoot as much film as I hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaitz Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Grand Teton - I didn't want to go the known places in Grand Teton but didn't spend nearly enough time there to get out and really hike through. The mountains here are awesome but I would have rather done a more unique composition from a more unknown location.
