Thanks for posting, that is a great blog and first time I have come across it. I followed it to his Flickr page, some great B&W shots taken in Greenwich park London, all done with a P&S after the high end review.

Stunning images worth a look.

Thanks Rich, as you say a stunning set of images, Not all with the GS, D90, iPhone, D700, D3s and even a Canon.

I have had to rest, I am suffering superb image overload! <VBG> Will go back and look at the rest. The watch images and the red Mercedes are outstanding but so are countless others.

Also a Mac user I see... :bowing:

Thanks for the link to the review Ed.
I read it end to end and can say that whilst I have never seen or used a Leica S2 that it is probably closest to what I consider would be my favourite SLR camera that I never owned but used, namely the Pentax 67.
This camera and my Hasselblad 2000FC are as far as I remember the cameras I most enjoyed using and also produced awesome quality.
The F2, F3 yes were great but then I got lazy and got a F801 but not the same outright quality. The D3 returned me to happy land as long as I dont get sloppy and in the studio with flash is incredible. My Fuji XP1 with its 16MP seems to yield incredible colour and sharpness (maybe the D4 would be better than the D3S after all!) but for me a D800 is the next one not for the MP count but because of its AF performance but also I can shoot FX and crop out to x1.5 as though I was shooting a DX camera, but also in the studio I will get incredible results.[code][/code]

The Flickr image set are very good.
The watch pictures are beautifully lit.
The cityscapes are well seen and captured.

There is an interesting comparison of D800E with Leica S2

http://blog.mingthein.com/...05/05/an-unfair-fight-nikon-d800e-vs-leica-s2-p/

Botton line ... Leica lenses are infinitely better than SLR lenses (which I guess we knew)

Ed


(there is anNPS and leice pro dealer in Basel now - Marlin Foto)

The tendency for the D800E to colour fringe would put me off....unless that was down to a lens incompatibility?

The edge shot at f8 in the first series is particularly poor. Look at the Hotel Fortuna sign and the vertical windoe edges on the right hand building.

Thanks Ed and Rich for the links. I really enjoyed his "street" photography - some great shots captured.

Yes, just goes to show.... equipment isnt everything. As they say in Formula 1....

Very true Eric. :rofl:

I read some of the comments regarding his street photography and one of his responses was interesting and true these days. One comment spoke to his ability to capture the subject without being noticed taking the shot. His response was it is getting more difficult and and putting a "bad taste" in one's mouth. He even went so far as to say it was making him question the phot "gig".

Picked up the 800E this afternoon.

No real experience yet, but it feels more like a D700/D300 than a D7000.

It seems to be no slouch at high ISO.

ISO 6400, artificial light, no flash, 105 mm macro, 1/60th handheld
