Dai the Socket Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Maybe it's just me being old and grumpy, but does it really matter what camera gear you use? Surely it's the quality of your shots which matters.For the record I have a dSLR. There are many like it, but this is my dSLR. I have a bag full of lenses which I know well, some of which I want to upgrade, and others i'd never want to be without. The most important bit of my camera gear is the time to go and get shots.I think it is you being old and grumpy to be honest. It's a topic for discussion, on kit that people use and recommend. It's a forum and the whole point is discussing stuff. Some people like some kid, others like others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The 10.5mm Nikkor is an incredible lens by all means, and of all the lenses on offer at that width I'd recommend it.Mike - is that taken on a full-frame body?Mike S - thanks for the info, I'll have to find out some info on the others and do a comparison. Thing is, I've got the 10-20 so I don't really need a fish that desparately. Would be nice though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a forum and the whole point is discussing stuff.Not really, this is a willy waving thread saying 'look at the kit I've got'. A discussion thread would be 'what zoom lens for trials?' This is the same as the what phone have you got thread. People who worry so much about kit either use it as an excuse (sorry it's rubbish, I used the kit lens) or want validation about what they've got.There are exceptions to this of course.

Im not trying to 'Willy Wave' I only have 2 lenses and a 400D. The reason I make posts on this forum is to discuss things. I'm realy getting sick of the people on this forum. At the end of the day. there is thousands of other forums to choose from.rather than commenting on my post. Why dont you comment on the people that call people 'Little Pricks' and after all you are a moderator. Whats the point in you being a mod when you dont do anything about people like that?

Greetings Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Probably the best place to ask this. I'm looking for a semi-fisheye lens (around 0,45x) for a new video cam I'm getting, is Raynox a good company? Don't want something too expensive, under 100 pounds would be good.

Would be nice though...if the ff question is aimed at mike deere then i dont think nikon make a full frame camera (if your on about sensors)and f stop. stop complaining. its just interesting to see what people use and also gives the chance for people to ask for advice etc. nowt wrong with that.

Mike Deere Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) If the full frame question was aimed at me, no it isn't. 10.5mm on the APS-C sized sensor gives an image that is the same as a regular 16mm fisheye on a full frame body.By the way, I don't have that 10.5mm lens anymore, I sold it to pay the rent. After my three week holiday I'll be in a new full-time job and looking to completely overhaul my camera kit, hopefully if Nikon have announced a full-frame body by then I'll be going along those lines. It's going to be expensive and difficult replacing my entire kit bag, but hopefully worth it. Edited June 30, 2007 by mikedeere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've heard a lot of strong rumors about a 1.1x crop Nikon in the works, so that'll be pretty much full frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah, Nikon D3 will probably be next, as I said, lot of rumors about it being 1.1x crop, fingers crossed they will have got the noise levels up to Canon standards too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Last night I attended a Nikon sales rep seminar in Los Angeles, where Nikon’s D3 was unveiled to an audience consisting of L.A. area Advanced Systems Dealers and myself. Courtesy of my cousin, who is a salesperson at a major Los Angeles Nikon retailer, I was able to get credentials and attend the 45 minute meeting with him. All camera cell phones were checked at the door, as we entered the meeting room. The LA sales rep revealed the D3 which was partially wrapped in black gaffers tape so as to disguise key elements of its appearance. For about 30 minutes, the sales rep talked to the assembled audience about Nikon’s latest offering which is to be unveiled on Monday, March 5th at PMA: Full Frame (no 1.1 crap) - DX mode at 1.5x - High Speed Crop - VERY fast motor drive (can’t remember the number he quoted, but when he fired it, it sounded at least as fast as my F5 on CH. - 18.7 MP - MSRP $7999 - No H and X models anymore, just the one D3 - D2xs will continue to sell. - Dimensions and weight were mentioned, but I don’t remember the minutae. Suffice to say, the camera looked to be roughly the same size as the D2 series. The camera was fitted with another new release: an undisguised 50mm 1.2G AF-S lens, which looked to be quite large and sturdy. Also mentioned but not present was a 24-120 2.8G AF-S. The rep said no new DX lenses were forthcoming in the near future. So there you have it. End of rumors. We’ll all see it undisguised on Monday. So relax, its here. Regards, Jimi cant find anythung but bollocks, lol EVERYBODY is just guessing the onmly solid(ISH) thing ive found is that its full frame and will cost best part of 8000 dollers Edited July 1, 2007 by Davetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Red square is where it's supposed to be focused.From what I've heard, the brighter it gets, the more it sucks, which is bizarre seeing as all other cameras are the opposite. The first batch have had a lot of problems in bright daylight apparantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 aye, and the lcd viewer to take pics..

Dan Clark Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Same as people have been buying, not sure if thers been a recall or if they're hoping to fix it with a firmware update or anything.Either way, I'd be pissed if my D70 did that, and that cost nowhere near £4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
