p.33 #1The Nikon FX Image Thread
What is so wrong with having a thread that features any Nikon FX body, and allowing people a venue to showcase how great these cameras can work with all lenses, no matter the manufacturer?
To me it seems not much different than a thread allowing FM members to showcase Nikon Manual Focus lenses that work well with various camera bodies, no matter the manufacturer.
I personally love having both threads! I find value in both venues, as do others as I see many FM members who participate in both.
It's nice to see everyone participating, and it's enlightening to see how various lenses and bodies work together. So keep the images coming and let's keep having fun
Best Wishes,
Don

^ Yeah there's definitely room all types of threads.
There are two ways to look at it -- Going the "stove piped" method in which a thread is extremely specific (APS-C sensors and Manual Focus Sigma photos ONLY) because one really wants samples from specific gear...and there are the threads with loose standards because everyone wants to just share photos and doesn't feel like browsing 15 different stove pipes to see some sampling

I remember when this thread commenced that we had many other diverse threads. Personally I love FF images and it is great just post in one grouped thread. I also cross post in the D850 thread and sometimes in the lens specific thread. This thread is more about Nikon FF images and intentionally left broad. There are many more detailed gear threads to also contribute within

Laura,
Amazing to see how many different color of light in that shot. Great capture.
Here is a tree stump portrait with 1.2/55 on D810

Nice warm image Ram.
In stark contrast to Rams image, this taken with the 70-200 f4 on the D610. Thanks for looking.

Just for the record Don, when the Manual Focus Nikon Glass thread was begun on August 22, 2010, it was limited to Nikon lenses mounted on Nikon cameras, much to the disappointment of quite a few people shooting with those lenses on other camera systems. I heard from a number of them when I informed them of that preference. That was the case for the first five years of the thread. It was changed after discussion among those active on the thread. I'd have been content to keep the limitation in place because i was not one of the members who was experimenting with other camera systems. But I did miss those folks who'd spent years on the thread and then began experimenting with Sony and Fuji cameras.
I apologize if my comments above offended anyone committed to this thread. I agree that whatever floats your boat is worth pursuing. Have fun everyone.

My commute home from work in Columbus tonight looked thicker than that for the first half hour...opening my car door to put my stuff in got a half inch thick coating on the seat and floor very quickly. I'm sure it's coming your way, Scott.

No clue what that white stuff is in your photo. It was windy today with high 50s. This is no Reagan land but I am happy where I am right now.

Curtis,
There is no doubt that MFNG is a great thread, it not only serves the people who shoot and enjoy the huge inventory of Nikon Manual focus lens, it also has become a huge reference for image depository and knowledge of those amazing lenses for anyone interested in the Nikon's manual focus lenses. In that context, FX thread is much lighter, and may be more casual, and open ended, but I see place for both type of threads in this community. It would be great to see your beautiful images any time you feel like dropping in !
