Charles, Steve, nice contribution.
Steve, I thought you have a e60 version as well, do you? I am very curious about that version. GFX is a really fun system.

Not anymore. I sold it before I got the GFX. I wish I still had it to try. Right now the price difference is just too much between the E55 and E60 version. I got my E55 which is a very late model and in perfect condition for less that $1,000 and I couldn't find an E60 for less than $4,000. The E60 is a wonderful lens, and much better corrected, but the E55 has tons of character. Quite different lenses IMO. I knew from doing as much research as I could I would be able to use the E55 on the GFX with a 4 X 5 crop, but it just barely covers what is needed for that crop. Before I bought the E60 I would want to know that it covers enough of the sensor for a 4 X 5 crop and I haven't seen anyone use it on the GFX. If the E60 covered I would rather have it, but it is quite a gamble to buy it at current prices, which are historically high, when it may not work and you may be out a fair bit of money when you try to resell it. I was lucky in that I didn't lose much when I bought and sold the E60. For now I am happy with the E55 and what it uniquely brings to the table.

Shot later this afternoon. The SB 5000 is still working after having been blown away by the wind yesterday

Also is anyone experiencing any problems with the Lr CC Classic exporting into PS with color management. The colors are marginal warm in exporting to PS. I am using consistently for editing ProPhoto sRGB. This does not make sense. I have seen this in the past with Adobe with some of their in between updates.

I can't bring myself to use this lens anymore, I've had one for about 20 years now. It's very sharp, no question, with nice colours, but I don't really like the busy bokeh (as seen in this pic you posted) and at F2 it's not fast enough to create the shallow dof that I like. It's great for landscapes, but it's not for me.

Sorry guys, I forget answer your questions.

Thank you zhangyue!
What about D850? Do you prefer it to D810?


Yeh, definitely. For multiple level of improvement.
1. File quality, I slightly prefer its color response than D810, which itself is pretty nice.
2. focus confirmation dot is way improved to the level I can simply rely on it without using any trick.
3. Handling(deeper handle) and Bigger brighter OVF make shooting experience more enjoyable.
4. may not be R related, but LV with flip LCD is significant improved during field shooting.

Only thing I slightly prefer is quieter D810 shutter.

Always a pleasure to see your pics. They are softlysharp as they should be.

Could you let me know the aperture, speed and ISO pls.

I am not a big fan of the D850 as most of my shots are vertical portrait orientation and hence the battery grip is always attached and it is a bit clunky.

However my main beef is with the focus point as it is always black v always red as in previous bodies. It only turns red when focus is acquired in low light conditions and it sucks as I loose the focus point location and the AF

Thank you very much for kind comments. Most of those shots are WO. For the shots you see, ISO mainly from 64 to 200.

As for D850, you can see my comment above. I absolutely love it. It is my favorite Nikon or maybe any camera, my satisfied level is up to 7 years ago D700 level which I really know nothing about other gears (but just happy) I don't want to be too enthusiastic about any gear anymore as I handled so many but this time, I appreciate what Nikon did after so many years miss IMO.

Having said that, I slowly love DF more and more. It is a great camera for people enjoy manual control and anyone enjoy manual glass like R. D850's pixel is a little bit over kill for R glass I love TBH.

Focus point will light up if you half press shutter before shooting. It doesn't bother me at all but this is very personal.

Here is one from last weekend before my son's recital.

Michael, love this shot!

The white dot at the edge of the screen does take some practice but it is accurate with the 50 Cron R. It would be nice if there was a sound confirmation as the focus dot hits the target and maybe a slightly larger confirmation within the OVF.

I have mentally set in my mind to turn the focus ring towards the head of the arrow as this is very intuitive and fast while I have the focus dot in my peripheral vision. This really speeds up the technique and I find it as fast now as using a RF

Hi Charles, I feel the sound will be distracting if it is there, I know Canon did that .

You want make sure always turn from mfd to infinity, this way whenever the dot become solid is the correct focusing achieved. This will guarantee you are always in front of your DOF window.

For portrait, slightly front focus is acceptable but anything back focus is DOA right away.

Yes I am sure the sound would drive me crazy. The first thing I do with any camera is to turn off the sound Though it would be nice to have the option at least.

Thank you for the tips again!
