What are the "must have" lenses for full frame camera?
Sep 28, 2013 09:04:26 #
If you are thinking about the D 600 wait a week rumor is the D610 will be announced on the 7th or 8th. Supposed to be the same except 1 frame a second more in burst and a new shutter that won't shred dust all over your sensor.

If you need more length you can use the crop settings to set the form factor to 1.5 and you have a 600mm F5.6,

The focal length remains the same after the crop. However the field of view is narrower.

Which is effectively the same thing, increasing the image size by the crop factor..... hence people practicing this technique refer to the focal length magnification.

jmarazzi,
Good Morning ..... Not sure I can tell you what are "Musts" but I can tell you what I have. I have a Nikon D600 with the following full frame lenses:
Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6
Sigma 24-70 f2.8
Nikon 50mm f1.8
Sigma 85 f1.8G
Sigma 70-200 f2.8
The Nikon 50mm,Sigma 24-70 & 70-200, I already had from my previous D90. I got lucky that they were full frame.
I have a close friend that does have the same set up in all Nikon and unless one really pixel peeps it would be hard to figure out who took what if they were all scrambled up.
Hope that this helps you, good luck with your new camera and have fun picking out your lenses.

If you are going full frame: Nikon D800 and the 14-24 f/2.8!

I'd go for the D7100 with FX lens. That combination is magic. Have used since 7100 came out some 6 mo ago and resolution is superb with the advantage of nearlly 2X crop. At present I see no advantage in going to D800e, and certainly not D600.

The shutter issue has already been resolved and the frame rate is only .5 fps faster from what I have read. I would opt for a refurbed D600 at under $1500.00

Shutter issue is not resolved I have myv5th d600 right now, it was ok for a while but it's spitting shutter dust now just like my other 4 did. The dealer is taking this one back too.

If you stay with DX get a good tripod with an indexing head and shoot panoramas for your extreme wide angle images- stitch them in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or several other programs. Then you can take advantage of the crop factor when using long lenses for wildlife.

The D7100 also has an additional "crop" mode in the menu of 1.3x...Effectively turning a 200mm lens into a 400mm FOV lens. With it's 24 MP sensor, you still get decent file sizes for additional cropping if needed...

Joecosentino,
I feel for you. I was one of the lucky one as I got my D600 in Nov of last year along with 2 of my friends and have not had the first issue. I know have almost 10,000 shots on it and I would not give this one up for anything.
Dust, there isn't a camera out there that doesn't have some dust especially if one changes lenses outside and if they take pics at f22. I of course have had some of that, blow it away with a rocket blower and good as new.
I sure would hate to have to go through the trouble like you have.

Boy - some great lenses. Now I'm back to the flip-flop re which camera.
It's amazing, I buy cars and houses with less angst than what I put myself through for camera equipment.

The Nikon D800 has an amazing dynamic range. Love mine.
