I found this article ( http://www.falklumo.com/lumolabs/articles/D800Focus/SensorArray.html ) which I believe is one of the dilemmas of adjusting focus in fine focus adjustments. If on a zoom lens you only have one adjustment number (Nikon and Sony) or two (Canon) fine auto focus adjustment for a particular focal point on the zoom and each sensor has different focus sensitivity how can anyone ever tune the whole zoom lens.

The CPL filter that comes with it is flat (no screw threads) and I would want a filter like that so that it doesn't scratch the front of the adapter or camera.

From what I saw on that page there is nothing to keep you from putting a generic ND filter on those adapters. Am I missing something or are you not aware of the variety of ND filters available to you in those three size threads.

I don't know this for a fact, but since the dots are RGB our brain must be translating it like the camera.

Ok thanks, I was holding out for another full frame camera (either the D4 or D600 "preferably the D4 if my wife doesn't kill me first"). It just seemed that the D800E would be the next best fit.

MT Shooter wrote:
I have both and that article means nothing. At extremes I feel there is no more that 5% increased sharpness with the D800E over the D800. And in the best of light the increase is hardly noticeable.

I have the Nikon 24-70 2.8 which I use on my D800, D2X and D7000. The lens has been tuned to the D800 and D7000 (auto-focus fine tune). I also have the Tamron 18-270 PZD and fine-tuned that. I have been told that my pictures taken with the Nikon 24-70 are out of focus (at extreme blowup). Others have said my Tamron shots were crisp and focused well. Don't figure, I have had Photo-Zone check them out and they can't find anything that I have done wrong.

I don't think it would be a big difference. I had the Tamron 18-270 PZD and it was just too soft on the long end and focused very slow. The 10-24 nikon works great with D7000 and for the money I think the 70-300 nikon is a good lens. If you really want to see a difference you must shoot primes or expensive 2.8 lenses like the 24-70, 70-200 nikon. Big difference.

Found this article that shows a 25% increase of picture sharpness with the D800E over the D800 http://www.dredeman.com/ click on the Photographer link when there. :shock:

The zoo in NC has most of the animals behind very thick glass making sharp pictures nearly an impossible task. The elephant was in open space but the owl was behind 2" of thick glass in low light conditions, I took the picture with a Nikon D7000 and 18-200mm lens and the camera had a difficult time focusing with the glass and low light, I had to give it a manual assist and my eyes are not that good either.

I like them. I love going to the zoo for shots. It's a great way to practice changing settings quickly to get the shot. It's way harder for the animal to run away heehee. It is also a great place to practice composition.

Keep up the great work.

Nice stripes and I sort of agree, it seems the animals are for looking at not photographing, however if you have to go with your grandkids then it's not bad photography allowing for average to low quality shots.

Went to the zoo and here are a couple of shots. Most of the animals are behind glass making photography difficult. By the way this was at the North Carolina state zoo.

At about 500 feet from camera

I have a D7000 and a Tamron 18-270 as well as a Nikon 18-200. I have tuned both lens with auto-focus fine tune on the menu and do not see a noticeable difference between the two. I am not saying there isn't but I can't find it and I suspect the same would be true for the 55-200.

Thank's, I understand. I have the D2X, D7000 and D800, and would love the D4 (but can't afford it). I have good glass and was looking for one more full frame camera that was not so high on MP and could use my good lens on (Nikon 24-70 2.8, 14-24 2.8 and 70-200 2.8), so I guess the D600 would be a good match and save 4 grand.

Nice, so what is your impresion of the D600? Price wise it is not far from the D800, what would be a good reason to get the D600 over the D800?

I love the D600. It's close enough to the D7000 that it's not a whole new learning experience. The 24MP are fine for me, and I think haveing the extreme resolution of the D800's 36MP might be a problem in terms of lenses- at least that's what I've heard. As for the price, it's was hard enough for me to justify a $2,100 camera. Justifying one that cost $1,000 more would not be possible. :D
