Another still life from the D810 with 24-70mm AF-S f2.8 lens and Elinchrom studio flash. Thanks for your comments on the NEF I sent. Attachment: Garlic0060A4s.jpg (Downloaded 65 times)

Hi all Well, I could not resist the new toy and I can only agree that the D810 is stunning. Attached is down-rezzed for the forum but gives an indication of the quality. Edit: Actually, it loses a lot in the small jpg. Here is a link to the full-size jpg http://bugsrus.zenfolio.com/img/s6/v147/p275792214.jpg Looking forward to playing with this a lot more.

Hi Ed, Good to see you back. So are you parallel running with the Nikon and the Canon stuff ? The water droplets look very clear but you need to see the real thing to appreciate fully I guess.

Hi Jonathon Parallel .... not really a problem. The Canon long lenses are a dream compared to Nikon ... just a question of the right tool for the right job. I'm not really happy with the jpg conversion ... do you have a good set of presets in C1? Ed

I am running with Fuji XT1, XPro1, XE1 with a pretty full set of Fuji lenses, these provide as good quality as my D600 but not so much detail as the D800, which I dont use that much unless I am doing promo work which is only very occasionally. The D800 is really great for landscape as it can render very subtle detail. I have promised myself no more cameras until I find out what is happening at Photokina next month. Regarding C1 presets I use a mixture of handcrafted sharpening and output. I have also started to use LR5.6 much more as I seem to have started to understand some of the evil/twisted logic of it controls and indeed unless the image is from a Fuji X-Trans camera then I tend to use that as my export mechanism for jpgs. I have different presets for Nikon and Fuji sharpening and output so this seems to work. For high quality output then I use C1 and output to TIFF and manage the image versions via LR. Hope this helps as a general pointer. I can tell you individual settings if you need examples. Just PM me if you need more info.

Yes the 105mm AFS VR is a great macro. I got one when I moved to using my 105mm AFD in my underwater setup. I still like the Sigma 150mm f2.8 Macro EX HSM IS for my insect and flower macro images and also big head portraits.

I also find the 105mm Macro very good for portraits with FX cameras. Depth of field can be a problem with the garlic pix above the end of the stalks was just out. You asked to see a landscape this is with the D3X in Capetown S Africa. I will be in Scotland with the D810 end of Sept so will do my best to get more then!
