My Nikkors are proper MF lenses, thankfully. :) So, so smooth.

Those are delightful. They have all the sharpness and pop that we all love with great lenses.

I am using my Nikon lenses (I have a pretty good 35, 50, and 105 set) with the Pen with great results....

The lenses are hurting the NEX, but the recently leaked roadmap shows promise. The NEX-7 is pretty easily the best mirrorless body on the market, but if you want autofocus, the lenses still aren't...

The price on the 24-70mm is crazy, but not totally unexpected with the huge price hikes Canon and Nikon did with the last 70-200mm upgrades.

The old primes are seriously in need of updates. I have...

Sorry, not quite sure what you are referring to. You mean 1-2 stops slower in terms of high ISO performance of the bodies, or 1-2 stops slower in terms of depth of field, or that the lenses on offer...

My feeling is no. The small gain in detail is not worth it for the moire. The detail level from the D800 should be incredible. The D800E is more of a special purpose camera for studio use by someone...

First off, hi Don, Frank, Peek and the others from when I was here more a few years ago.

I don't really have a forum "home" and since this NEX-7 is one of two big parts of this question, I figured...

I put in a pre-order with Amazon for one (it can be cancelled for quite a while, but holds my place in line).

I'm seriously considering selling my 5D and glass to switch to this as my primary...

I think there is more value to it than that. To me sometimes a blown-out noisy picture is the effect I am looking for. And I think the limitations of a cell phone camera can really help the photog to...

The D3S holds a special place in my heart, but it is jammed into a D700 shaped hole. It kinda sucks to carry such a big thing all the time. I think the answer right now (unless insurance isn't cool...

I feel like I was totally where you are, and it ended up higher ISO wasn't the answer. Yes technique will help, but really it had a lot to do with lenses.

People will tell you to use a flash and...

I spent a lot of time researching a prime in this range, because I wanted a normal fast prime on crop. In my research (which consisted of other peoples opinions and a few looks at test charts) the...

Great stuff. I love that the bridal portrait is a little different facial expression. Very royal looking pictures.

I'm starting to find myself in P mode more often. A is still my default, but I'm...

Peter, the top one looks sharper on the letters at the bottom and the bottoms purple looks a little better. I'm going to guess the top is the CZ, the bottom is Minolta, but its a crapshoot. Without...

So sorry, I'll add an edit to my post too. These lenses can absolutely be used for macro work, and are great for it. Since macro is often manually focused anyway these are often excellent for macro...

Nice Don. If you take a look at my gear list, I'm pretty much worse than you now for having a bunch of junk. I'm veering toward being a camera collector, but trying to resist (my wife is none too...

Not even $50. Perfectly good later cameras can be had for $30. As time went on, even entry level cameras had 1/4000 shutter speed, exposure compensation, and AF systems got MUCH better. Really nice...

Elisha you nailed that one. Those eyes are crazy. Great capture, nice choice to do it in black and white.

On a totally unrelated note, how did our species survive without pacifier straps?

Looks nice, and in particular because that Pentax 645 system is highly regarded. It is nice that they maintained compatibility with the older glass, which Hasselblad kinda quit doing with the newer...

Slo40, that is gorgeous.

Nism, cool, did you stack the boxes up that way or is some sort of toy? The Chuck Taylor as a little vehicle is a nice touch, mine don't look nearly that clean tho.

Oh yeah, no worries about the gap in your lenses. I have 35, 50, and 105 for my Nikon and the only thing I ever miss is wider than 35mm.

Well, in focal length. I'm almost always wishing my lenses...

Thanks, it was in a restaurant that has been open for 75 years, and not a lot has changed. I've been really getting into black and white film lately, and that kind of vibe is working it's way into...

Looks like a nice setup. I had the non-VC version of that Tamron lens on my 40D and loved it, and the T2i looks like a great camera. Depending on what you want to shoot I would consider saving the...

Hmm, I just looked and it is obvious that the tech was a bit ham handed putting the vf back in. It was really easy to get out, so I pulled it out and it isn't dusty, it's scratched. I had a hell of a...

Te-he-he.

Lady posted an A100 on Craigslist for $75 because of dust in the viewfinder. I emailed right after it was posted and told her if it wasn't a scam and she wanted to sell for $75, I would...
