The Monkey Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 That D600 review focused an awful lot on the video. Still hard for me to get a handle on what the D600 is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 That's some funny stuff. I harbor desire to shoot medium format at some point just to try it but Hasselblad lost a lot of respect from me with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 So D600 or used D700 and some moar glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cankin Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm not sure which Nikon body you have now, but if you like the ergonomics of D90/D7000, you will feel like home with D600. It is noticeably lighter than D700. If you like how D300 feels in your hand, go for D700. This is how I think after trying both D700 and D600 side by side today.

shellylh Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 What do you guys think about a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 for an everyday lens for the Nikon D90? If I upgrade my camera, it will be to another DX lens. Just can't justify the heavier full frame and pricier lenses. Right now I have the Nikon 18-200 Vrii, Nikon 35mm f/1.8, Tokina 100mm f/2.8 (micro), and Nikon 40mm f/2.8 (micro). I may sell the Nikon 40mm but if I get this, maybe.

n_maher Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Why anything other than the 18-200? I've been using that as my everyday lens for 3 or 4 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 What do you guys think about a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 for an everyday lens for the Nikon D90? If I upgrade my camera, it will be to another DX lens. Just can't justify the heavier full frame and pricier lenses. Right now I have the Nikon 18-200 Vrii, Nikon 35mm f/1.8, Tokina 100mm f/2.8 (micro), and Nikon 40mm f/2.8 (micro). I may sell the Nikon 40mm but if I get this, maybe. It's generally considered the best current option for a fast normal zoom on a Nikon DX camera. The Nikon 17-55 is big, heavy, and doesn't have VR. The Tamron 17-50 VC has worse corner quality, slower AF, and lower build quality. The Tamron 17-50 non-VC is a good option if you can find an older one without a built-in-motor. If I were using a DX camera the kit I'd want is the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (or the Sigma 8-16 f/4.5-5.6 if you don't need filters or fast aperture), the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 OS, and either a Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 or Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 II. Add a macro lens, f/1.4 prime, or long telephoto as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Why anything other than the 18-200? I've been using that as my everyday lens for 3 or 4 years now. Mainly for a faster lens but still with some zoom capability. I have been using the 35mm or 40mm lately but would like a bit more flexibility. If I am shooting mostly outdoors and at a lot of different distances and I don't want to have a lot of lenses (like when I go on vacation), I usually take the 18-200. Thanks for your comments about the various fast-ish zoom lenses Peter, that is quite useful. Edited September 21, 2012 by shellylh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The Tamron 17-50mm non VC is the much better choice. The Sigma focuses faster and quieter but not significantly so. The Tamron's much sharper, especially at the wide end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c12mech Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is not the greatest picture but I still really like it. This is a C5 on the taxiway coming in to GTMO. Anytime these land here I try to get pictures. They can barely turn on and off the runway and are just fun to watch land.

Wmcmanus Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Kai's clownery is completely outshone by the might of the Hasselblad. True, except for his line, "It's a Flintstone's kind of camera but it's Bam Bam tough." He made me chuckle, once again. Seems he never fails.

en480c4 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 My wife Lauren did the Warrior Dash with her twin sister Elise and Elise's boyfriend, Eric. It was a 5k with 10 obstacles, including mud with barbed wire, climbing walls and fire! I was on pup duty and was the official family photographer. I used Lauren's D700 with the 50mm f1.4D and was pretty happy with the results. Of course, these are also with her touch in Lightroom, which is good 'cause they were a little over exposed. It looked like so much fun that I'll have to join them and run it next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
