This body is reserved for my Virtual Panoramic Tour (as professional), Amazing ! The response of this body is fast. I appreciate the quiet mirror. very good color range. Obviously, you need to shoot with a Nikkor 24~70 f2.8 nano and the Nikkor 70~200 f2.8 Nano. Uncompressed and 14 bits : 74 megapixels for a NEF. By the way, not really designed for fast shooting.
A first example in pano 360° : http://www.panohotline.com/samples/pano_mini_europ/

A little bit expensive but, as usual, you pay for the quality ...

Pros:

very sharp at f 2.8, good built, cheap, Limit button, relative fast auto-focus
|
|
Cons:
|
Focus hunted in low light condition, No "manual" button
|

I owned a previous Sigma 105 macro; now this one. Good for portraits and macros; Interesting for a kind of "close up" : not really in macro. (70 mm is a limit; 105 mm is better)
Here an example :

Sharp !, great pro build, fast AF, splendid bokeh [ * NEW* VR2]

weight, a little bit vignetting even with a FX, expensive

Definitively, it is THE BEST ONE in 70~200mm. I like to take portrait pictures and it is a dream to use it ....
Maybe expensive but you REALLY have for your money ....

Test nikkor 70-200 VR2 N with the new TC-20E III
with a Nikon D300. the crop with 1.5, we have 210-600 mm
F-5.6 to ISO 200 This is not the sharpness but I think the quality still adequate. Euro 499.00 to 701.00 USD
The teleconverter stops me to get another goal. I think the result is acceptable. Your comments are appreciated. ;-)))

Pros:

the *** NEW *** 70-200 f 2,8 VR2 : sharp, sharp, fastest AF, build like a tank, very good bokeh
|
|
Cons:
|
like this kind of pro lens: expensive but the price paid is for quality; heavy with a D700
|

A long wait for this lens but it is the best in town ... Using the D300, it is a benefit of a x1,5 (frame crop); I'm waiting the new TC x2,0 III (but expensive € 590,00 !). BUT the AF is not so fast without the continuous shot as setting.
Obviously, a "Highly recommended" zoom lens for serious guys or professionals.
