why don't you just go all film? then keep your dslr for when you need it.. i kinda see you as a film photographer

Cause film is WAY more expensive then Digital. Ever get a roll of film developed? It's $10-$13, and fwiw it limits what you can do. I like to shoot film when I am able to but for what I like to do digital does it better.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it

It isn't f/1.4 but I think it is basically the same at similar apertures as the 1.4.

Every review I read about 1.8G tells me I should get it over 1.4G and save the money for another speed lite or just another pair of jeans

Is it normal for the Big Stopper to make a red cast on part of the image? I'll upload a sample in minute.

But yeah, I concur, unless you're on Canon then you should splurge but you aren't anymore so stick with 1.8 Thing is damn sharp as well, the 1.4 may be better for the D800 though, that I'm not sure, I was using it on a 12mp body - not 36mp.

Um.. it doesn’t matter what body you use it with. lens will perform just the same. Well, yeah, with D800 you will tell much more on how sharp it is when pixel peeping

Here we go.

I know what your problem is here’s the question. Did you close the viewfinder curtain? If no, this is your problem!

Not true, the D800 out-resolves some lenses supposedly. Which is also why you would need to use the best with those 36mp's

I'm fairly certain I did. I know it was closed on some of them.

That is the problem, and I can assure you that. I’ll find my example if I hadn’t deleted it... Let me check...

The 85mm 1.8G is great on the D800.

Was the photo with the red tint a longer exposure? Higher ISO?

I never said the 85 1.8G was one of those lenses

I was saying I wasn't sure if it was is all, I know there's lenses out there though that will be like that! Btw, just put that D800 in crop mode and you have yourself a 136 1.8

ISO 100 and like 8 seconds. It may very well have been the VF curtain on it. It only shows up on two shots. I assumed it may have been from the sun being at a different angle, but it's possible I forgot to close it on those two. I was just goofing off to test it out, and probably forgot about it.
