Not bad shooting.
Shame about the 7!

JK did you get your e-mail? I have sent you the NEF in Dropbox? If you did not let me know because I may have an old e-mail? You will need to download the new software Nikon Capture NX-D.

The targets are slightly yellow so colour bal in the test pix is correct and I set up the WB for my Elinchrom Flash with an 18% Kodak Neutral Test Card using the gray side, setting now stored in d-1.

The menus in the D810 (from D800) are changed quite a bit so I am still slowly finding my way with some things. Movie looks to be very much improved but yet to use this.

I shall be interested to hear what you think. I think there is no doubt the removal of the anti-aliasing filter produces much sharper NEF files.

My only slight worry is what is the story now for cleaning the sensor? LCE say they are not too keen to offer the cleaning service for the D810. I think that CMOS chips are far better than CCDs from dust problems. Two years of using my D800 including several weeks in USA desert regions gave me no problems and the chip was still dust free when I traded it in last week.

I have my cameras do a self-clean on shutdown.
Everything since the D3 is so much easier wrt dust and need to clean.

Lightroom and ACR support came out end if July, so you should be able to use these now.

I am using Capture One Pro and LightZone as that works for my Fujis and my Nikons.

JK have you looked at the NEF yet, interested to hear what you think. I have now had D810 over a week and have no issues with it at all.

I also re read the issue in lens section re the 24-70 AF-S f2.8 with D800E and edge fall-off. This lens is working very well with the new camera and produced the test NEF I sent you.It is still one of the best Nikon lenses I have ever had in terms of sharpness through the range and little or no distortion. Needless to say like nearly all lenses it will not give of it's best at f2.8 with an FX camera but by f5.6 there are no problems. In serious studio photography most of time you are working wit flash and a well stopped down lens!

I have looked at the NEF and cant see a huge difference between the D800, D800E and D810. Yes the D810 probably needs less sharpening before release/use.

I have looked at it in Capture Pro 7.2.4 and Nikon Capture NX-D and one other software that I am currently testing (cant say name as I am under NDA).

Your image is absolutely spot on with respect to exposure and WB.
There again, what else did I expect. :-)
