I currently shoot with a Nikon D 50 and have for 11 years. I use the DX lens: AF-S 17-55 f/2.8 G and AF-S 55-300 f/4.5-5.6 G and have been reasonably happy with this. I to date have shot family and friends, travel, landscape and some family sports activities printing nothing over 8 x 10. But I am now retiring and want to expand to include the above subjects and BIF. I was all set to pull the trigger in January or February on a D 750 or D 500 with a AF-S 24-70 f/2.8E VR lens to be followed by a AF-S 70-200 f/2.8E FL ED VF within the next 18 months and ultimately a AF-S 200-500 f/5.6G VR. There is also going to be a new printer in my life that allows for up to 16x24 images. And then..... I read about the Olympus OM D E M-1 MarkII(sigh...GAS). I am 67 and don't shake yet but I know it's coming, and I would like this august body's input on real world experience on going to m4/3s and the current Olympus experience. Years ago I had the original OM-! film camera and absolutely loved it. I've researched enough to know the pros and cons of full frame vs crop vs 4/3. What I realty need is input on from those of you who have used the D 750, the D 500 and the OM D E M-1. Thanks in advance.

[quote=mikenolan]Interesting article, I wonder how lens resolution is measured? It's not a number I see associated with most lens descriptions.[/quo
Go to the DxO site and they have an explanation of what their measurements mean.

Blow it up an frame it. It's a keeper. Love the simplicity with the color.

I agree- I really like 3 and 4.
Yep! #3 really does it for me, and the entire series is exceptional. Great job.

I still shoot with my Nikon D50. Of course it's not wrong.
OK! I to use my D50 and have for 10 years. I'll likely upgrade soon as i find myself wanting full frame for larger prints and fast burst for BIF. But I'll tel you one thing : that D50 keeps this old man sharp shooting BIF with it's slow FPS.

Excellent photo! Congrats! A suggestion? Loose the wood, make a good sized print, and hang it on your wall. Also, and I hope you don't mind, I opened in photoshop and raised the whites on the legs, they were at 208, and lowered some of the darker values. Doing so added a little saturation as well. I like it better. I am impressed with the quality at ISO 1600. Again, nice photograph.
Couldn't agree more. Just a superlative image. A wall hanger for sure.

We are going in a few months, and wanted to know if anyone has been, and could give me any photography advice! Where was your favorite place to shoot, what, if anything, should I know in advance?
Never been there myself, but I have a friend who is originally from Turkey
and returns there quit often with his wife (neither are photographers). He has said many times: women should not go out by themselves. Be careful as Turkey is not the same country it was a few years ago.

Stopped at our house with a package from BH Photo. Just thought all you Brown Truck watchers would be thrilled to know this. :hunf:
Brown truck stopped at my house yesterday. All that was in the package was blue cheese cheese straws from my broker! :cry:

The BIF goes on a wall somewhere! Agreat shot. I really like the expression on it's face.

I did the volcano tour on the big island and used my 70-200 non IS with shutter speed around 1200. Never found anything that this lens could not capture under the circumstances. Even flying up close to water falls wasn't limiting. If you have one I suggest taking it. Perhaps the charter people could advise. They have got to see cameras galore.
I had the same experience in 2012. No problem at all with that lens and I have some great shots.

I think it's just a case of to many choices with digital. And all these choices and the pictures therefrom are essentially free with digital. With film, mistakes just cost to much, plus there was no live view in the dark ages, so you didn't knoe the results until the contact sheet. So there was a lot of investment in time and money which made you learn quicker about exposure.
Cha - ching! :thumbup:
