Jason those photos are ridiculously amazing. Do you do much sharpening?

No, I just have standard output sharpening turned on in LR during export.

The first shot I forgot to turn the f'ing grain off in VSCO

All I know is I'm so glad my DF stopped being an asshole after 3 months. I'm guessing there was a big chunk of something stuck in the AF sensors that finally unlodged.

The DF just renders perfectly for the 58, so different from the D610. I think it's a byproduct of the low MP sensors.

It's funny you say that. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I'm able to get better results with my D600 then my D800. I made a mental note to re AF tune my 58mm on the D800 but now I'm thinking otherwise.

What do you normally use the most? 85mm f/1.4G or the 50 ART?

going by what Lightroom says....

Sigma 35 1.4 the most (wedding work) @ 18,798 (3 years ownership)
Nikon 58 1.4 @ 11,792 (1 years ownership)
Nikon 85 1.4 @ 10,051 (3 year ownership)

I'd say i'm on track to show that the 58 is my most used lens

Good to know. Wait... how do you track this information with multiple catalogs? Isn't that only possible with one catalog?

Noooooo! Bad bad idea! In this case,

watch this video. I watched it a couple years ago and I'm glad I did... Shooting weddings at an average of 3-4k shots a pop, there's no way I will store this stuff in ONE catalog
I seriously cannot imagine how slow your lightroom is now with all of those images

beautiful wedding work Elijah.

just did a wedding this weekend and it was the prettiest one I have photographed to date. Very magical, ethereal feeling and I fell in love with this shot as soon as I saw them fall into it. It was past sunset, overcast and drizzling... and it just felt stunning.
