Hehe! It's been there for a while now.

Can't have been! Really I thought it was just a recent firmware upgrade, but I didn't know you could go back and forth.

I'm usually the last to find this stuff out. SLLLLOOOWWW...

What's the biggest anyone's printed with a D800/E or D600? And which lens?

A billboard somewhere I'm sure.

Hehe! The only camera that doesn't have it is the D600.

40 x 60 in metal print without breaking a sweat.

I'd like to announce that I launched my website and facebook page today! Thank you for all the feedback you all have given me. I'm still very driven to improve always. I remember when I had 6 lenses at one point...! Right now I only have a 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 and am happy with these. I had to take a few pictures already on paid assignments that required a much wider lens-- a condo and dental office. I've gotten by with stitching a bunch of images (50mm stitched looks a little fisheye unfortunately), but they turned out satisfactory for now.

Although I am using a full frame, I have found i can use the cheap aps-c 18-55 VR lens on DX mode of my camera and get good quality. I am limited to 3 lenses total by the wife, so I'm still deciding what to do.

The 50mm 1.8G lens is a superb versatile lens and I used it more than 90% of the time during my first engagement shoot. It would have been nice to have a little more wider perspective in some shots, however. The 85mm 1.8 is great, but I can great very nice portraits with the 50/1.8 close-up with no distortion as well... so maybe I should get a longer lens to replace the 85? I would enjoy the extra compression and longer reach of either 105mm 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8, or 135mm 2.0, but all of these are significantly more expensive. For my wide end, I imagine the 28mm 1.8G lens or older 35mm 2.0 / 24mm 2.8 lenses would be okay--with 35mm being just not wide enough in certain circumstances. Ideally, I'll get the Sigma 35 1.4 when it drops in price and I won't miss the cheap but superb 50mm 1.8.

3 lenses is all I can have -_- Perhaps I should just rent a 70-200 2.8 for weddings for now.

My site: www.hyofoto.com - any suggestions welcome. The mobile site is very different and I may get rid of it.

facebook - would appreciate your Likes

^^ beautiful website Justin, i like hoe the phots fade in and out

much thanks!


Elrey, I like your photo above but it's obvious it has a very purplish cast to it. I think I tend to do that more with my Nikon D600. I'm guessing yours was done more on purpose since it's quite purple, but I'm mentioning in case your monitor calibration is way off.

I can only imagine. My 40D with the 50MP is stupid sharp. Without sharpening.

And I'm just asking questions for the sake of asking questions. I'm going to take a staycation in a month or so, during which I think I'll rent the E and Zeiss 21.

Yes. The Zeiss 21 shines on the D800/E.

I'm going to get this for my D800.

Then no one will ever consider stealing it. Camouflaged in cheapness.

What now d7100 option? That would surely help me make the sell lol

I just realized that I could rent an E and 21 for less than a used D600 for my trip. Of course, it'd be money "wasted", but I'd still get those two for a third of the price.
