Try it out in the garden? And for a 5 second exposure your tripod needs to be super stable

Hi, I had a go but not a LE, I was at full zoom (105) and took 2 shots, one with and one without OS, yeah it seems like that was my problem, OS on with tripod :banghead:
I also made a mock-up lens calibration, I worked out it was +7 with spot metering on. Hope I got it right.
Thanks for your help

Hi

Sorry not sure if I should put this here for all you D750 experts or create a new thread:

Had a quick play with the D750 and some studio lights, the WB was on Auto1 but the picture looks too warm.

1. Straight from Camera:

2.What I think WB should be:

02_WBAdjusted by SEP9001, on Flickr

So is this a user setup error or am I missing something?

Thank you

Kev

I always just leave white balance on auto, generally ignore it, shoot raw and adjust in pp.

Thanks.

I do always shoot raw but it would be good to get it right in camera. Did not have this issue with my D90, with the same setup.
 
Okay, thank you both. Will do it that way. Tried they grey card bit but as it was not lit correct the colours were off.

I always take a sample grey card reference. Usually shoot in cloudy with studio heads and sync off the grey card which gets adjusted to taste, normally a little cooler.
 
I seems to like portrait too warm in general, but too be fair too warm is still better that too cold!

I never use my grey card or custom WB but should so really as I tweak WB in post quite a lot.

For studio work where you're in full control it's a must part of the workflow IMHO. I prefer an x-rite colorchecker passport as there's slight grades of 'grey' settings and I always start with the coolest, taking a quick snap at the start or end of the session. I do have a lastolite ezybalance but it's quite warm for my preference.

I think if I did studio work I'd use it more TBH.
 
Just been reading that the Tamron 24-70 and 70-200 share the same lens id and you can't fine tune then separately.

That'd not too good!

I think you're reading too much. Do you mean micro adjust can't be done with both?

Apparently the D750 doesn't recognise them as two separate lenses for some reason :confused:

Yeah this! Because they share the same front digits they get recognised as the same lens.

Hope the shop has lots of copies as my 24-70 is at +5.

Apparently Tamron will calibrate them but you have to send them all away to them...pain!
 
The alternative option is the 70-200 F4. Yes it's not f2.8 but this lens will primary be for outdoor use it good light (well as good as a cloudy day in England gets!).

I know the majority will favour the Tamron but I'm going to look at both.

That is true and Tamron has no intention to fix this yet. I spoke to one of their sales guy in length about this.

Bit bad that, What happens if ones at +15, the other -15! Sending it all off for calibration would be the only option I guess.
 
A question for those with knowledge about this.
D750 plus Sigma 24-105, I read that camera and or lens damage may occur if used in "M" mode, Is it possible to use this lens on the D750 without any problems?
Hope that someone can answer me.
Cheers
Graham

When you say 'M' mode do you mean focus switch on camera/lens or exposure mode (is A, S, M etc)?

Having googled this problem I can't seem to find anything that mentions it, do you have a link to the problem you are referring to?

Hi Rob, So "M" manual mode on the camera, so if I want to do some LE, would it be ok with this lens?

+/- 5 really isn't bad.

& pointless. Consider that a lens need to be calibrated to a specific body to use fine tune at its best. Its quite possible to calibrate 1 lens to 2 different bodies with different results on each. A DSLR is a pretty fantastic piece of precision engineering so is a lens. Both are manufactured to within tolerances (fie tolerances but tolerates none the less.) You need to calibrate them together to get the very best results

I haven't heard anything about that and can't see why it would cause a problem. Surely if it damaged the camera in manual mode sigma would have recalled all copies and stopped selling it. I pretty much use manual mode with auto iso 90% of the time and have never had a problem with any lens. What is the full model name, it is the newest 24-105 f4 ART lens?

Have you thought about a second hand Nikon 24-120 f4? They go for around £350-400. I've been using one for landscapes for the last year and find it to be a good option.

Yeah its the siggy 24-105 f4 ART, To be honest I used it on Sunday in manual mode and no problems but having read a few lines since does get one thinking, sorry I cant remember where I read it.
Not thought about any other lens in this region yet, Im gearing up for the Tamron 150-600 G2 (maybe) or I may go for a BIGMA as a tester for a long lens and also a 12mm W I D E (Laowa) lens that I got my eye on thats coming out soon.
Lots to think about.
 
Only thing negative I read about the sigma 24-100 art lens on the d750 was that it can take the OS a while to settle down and therefore use a bit more battery. There seem to be plenty of good examples of photos taken with this combo out there. I looked at a whole range of things before settling on a Tamron 24-70 f2.8......which arrived this afternoon :)

Quick question....what screen protectors does everyone use on their d750? My d7000 came with a hard plastic Nikon screen protector but the d750 came with nothing.

If you go back through the thread there are pages and pages discussing screen protectors!! It's been an ongoing joke in this thread when no one has posted for a few hours. If it's a serious question any of the plastic stick on protectors on Amazon should be ok otherwise GGS glass protectors are the Rolls Royce option.

Officially Nikon say the PCs glass is tougher so it doesn't need a plastic protector like old dslrs did.

This is the one I use:

You send them your camera too. It's just a shame they won't allow you to fine tune them separately. Bit of an oversight from Tamron as they are 2 lenses people would buy to pair with each other!

I don't understand. What do you mean 'won't allow you to fine tune seperatly'

I have the GGS ones, have one on my D90 and still looks like new.

The newer version is not as good as the old ones but does the job.

As mentioned above Tamron gave the 24-70 and the 70-200 the same lens id. So if I tune one to +5 and attach the other it tunes it to +5 as it thinks it's the same lens.
