p.4 #1 · p.4 #1 · "MF Nikon Glass" shooters shooting AF !!


Some old bird shots with the "monster" 400mm f/2.8 AF-I + TCs:


Neotropic Cormorant with Nikkor 400mm/2.8 af-i + TC20EIII = 800mm f/5.6 AF by labecoaves, on Flickr

D3 + 400mm f/2.8 AF-I. ~ 25% cropped This old and heavy (6.5kg!!) telephoto works very well with teleconverters. The combo here is an effective 800mm f/5.6.





Ardea cocoi with Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 AF-I + TC17E by labecoaves, on Flickr

D300 + Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 AF-I. ~ 50% cropped. This old and heavy (6.5kg!!) telephoto works very well with teleconverters. The combo here is an effective 680mm f/4.7 (x 1.5 = 1020mm).

Great to see some of your amazing old work, Jose & Chin ... that's kind of what I thought this thread would be good for ... digging up some old AF shots that were never shared before.

Thanks Leighton, Curtis, Georg, Dean
It's our first grandchild.

Curtis; not a proud father, but a proud father of the father...
This one is from yesterday (I was shooting sports and forgot to turn down the speed. , but not bad at ISO5600).
The are both runners (marathons, ouch)

Chris, I'm so happy for you and for your son and his wife. What a beautiful family, so filled with life and joy. How could it be otherwise with that glorious being offering us a window into delight? Infants are remarkably powerful beings.

I see you in your boy Chris. I know you'll do the family proud by taking photos forever. What fun!

It makes me want to share a photo of the love of our lives... Ansel. I performed the wedding ceremony for Jesse and Sarah and am very close to the family. Shot with the 105 f/2.5 P AI'd... oops, wrong thread...

'Hot' off the press, err the processing foundry that is
With the 70-300VR ... it's a great travel lens, almost too perfect
Can't seem to get a viable substitute yet

I always love your work Chin. You have a great eye for composition. I guess since you have more AF lenses than MF lenses I'll have to appreciate you work on this thread rather than the MFNG thread. It is all good and we have Dean to thank for making this happen.

Excellent work here.

Thanks Curtis. "I see you in your boy ..." is the best complement one can get.

That photo of Ansel is great. I'm going to 'steal' that composition from you if you don't mind, but with the 85/1.8G

You're welcome to it Chris, but I've no doubt you'll be shooting from every possible angle every chance you can get. There is unending delight in being around these little creatures and for a photographer the pleasure is even greater. We get to do what we love with people we love. Nothing could be finer!

I had to try out the 24-85 VR on shooting flowers to see if the bokeh is any good. Dean It's not quite as creamy as the 2.8 but I think it will get you through.These are all 85mm 4.5 and I am thrilled with the color and sharpness.

I just posted comparisons of a few 135mm primes and Leighton asked for a comparison shot with the slower 50-135 f/3.5 AI-s. Wouldn't you know it... the zoom did a great job and produced a very sweet bokeh. I do believe it is possible and your photos Ray suggest it is true for this rather modest lens. My guess is you'll likely still be doing this kind of work with faster primes but it is nice to know that in a pinch you can do this if you wish. A nice set of images Ray.

Thank you Curtis. It won't take the place of my 35mm1.4, 85mm 1.4 or 300mm 4.5 EDIF but it's nice to have a walk around that has some good quality.
Jose i am loving your bird photos. What a lens the 400 2.8 is
Chris thats a terrific portrait
Nice capture Phillippe
Curtis what a precious photo. That baby has your attention!
Chin Nice shot with the 70-300 VR I had that lens when I first got my D7000. I would love to see how it performs on my D600.
James that looks delicious!

Keep 'em coming, Ray ... the lens really looks to be very good.

You mentioned before about being a great vacation lens. Vacations are always confusing for me when it comes to lens choice. You want to be as light as possible but at the same time you're usually somewhere super interesting and want your best lenses with you ... which usually means heavy This is where MF prime lenses seem to shine ... light and sharp ... but then you have to change lenses all the time .... which sucks on vacation ... so I go back to the heavy 2.8 AF zoom ... and round and round I go

I almost always end up taking everything !!

I'm going to take another look at the 24-85 though.

Superb, Chin.

I might buy a 70-200 f/4 this week. That may be a viable alternative? I hear it's almost perfect too.

James, now that's a tasty shot! It's late in the evening here and I get hungry looking at your fine image ;-)

Chin, fabulous work with the 70-300VR!

Ray, very nice set with the 24-85VR! Personal fav is #3, love the light and colors!

Philippe, the snow in the city image is fabulous, wow!

Chris, lovely family-portrait!

Jose, thanks for sharing your stunning work with my dream-lens (the AF-I 400/2.8).

Cool idea Dean! Especially since I've shot nothing but AF lately.

Very nice !

I think we should petition Curtis ... any AF photo taken of a hot looking woman ... with less than 80% of her clothes on ... should still be allowed on the MF thread !!
