Do you find it too dark in the VF with the 3-stopper ND?
Hmm...a built-in ND filter would be a handy on a DSLR for fast glass.



3 stops down from f/1.4 is only f/4, which is still faster than a lot of kit/consumer lenses. No issues with the viewfinder for me.

A built in ND would be great - would have saved me a fortune in filters.....

To fellow 58G lovers here:
If you haven't seen this post on DPreview, someone has masterfully (in my opinion) performed a scientific bokeh measurement between the 58G and the 85 1.4G (the two affordable cream machines from Nikon) and shared the finding with everyone.
It is very interesting I find!

But please dont ask me why i did that at f/2.2.. i guess it would be even more special at f/1.4

Thanks suhsin.
Marianne's posts are some of the most insightful and useful on dpreview so I'm glad she's taken the time to examine some of the 58G's attributes.

glad you like it! After a deeper look at all the photos i took there it looks like i have missed the f/1.6 version. The difference is not so big in my opinion. Anyway, here it is

First edit from an outdoor family shoot today with Jess, Tom and Riley. The processsing is a bit of a departure from my usual, so I'd appreciate any feedback (good or bad):







D800 1/3200 100 ISO f/1.4 600Ws strobe camera right in a 40" collapsible beaty dish with diffuser (it looks like a shallow Octa)

Nice compostition and I like the overall "bleached" look, but IMHO on the skin it's a bit too strong, at least on my screen the skin "radiates white light" which makes the people look too pale. Hope that's ok as C&C.

Thanks Markus, appreciate the comments. I did openly invite critique! Compared to the other shots from today, I think that it's probably a little overcooked. I'll make some tweaks and repost it.

Which ND filter are you all using for wide open out-of-doors daytime shots? Df caps out at 1/4000s and I live on the face of the sun. I have some 77mm filters but the step up ring prevents use of the lens hood. B+W 3 stop?

Mine's a 72mm Kenko "SMART ND8 SLIM". Seems to be pretty neutral to the colours, though I'll be able to tell more closely when I've finished today's edits and I've worked out in which shots it was used. I gave up with rings as they always seem to get stuck and I always prefer to use the hood (not a cheap option though!)

I use the 77mm B+W filter with the step up ring. Haven't had problems with flare so far.

OK, here's a slightly less cooked version of the earlier image, and another (my personal favourite so far)...













D800 1/320 f/1.4 100 ISO ND8 filter, same flash as earlier.

I'm in love with this lens

The skin tones look much better now and the second picture is brilliant!

I am using ND Filters from Haida and i can really recommend them. In my opinion they are cheaper and better then BW.

I am also going down to ISO 50 with my D750 if necessary, not much impact in picture quality at all.

Thanks Markus. I appreciate the critique. I had a split second to frame and hit the shutter with the second one and somehow I managed to pull it off!
