Nikon D750 & D780

Used is fine - I'm a right arse really. So a body is c£950 used which would leave me £1000 for lenses ( to start with )

How quick is af ? Is it suitable for sports like bmx ?

So I think I've got a new problem with my camera. On several shots part of the images was blurred like camera shake yet other parts are sharp. Looks like lens decentering but it's happening with different lenses and not all the time. So fed up with it, last Nikon I buy :(

What lens was it with? Was vibration reduction on?

24-70mm and 24-120mm. 24-70 doesn't have VR, yes with the 24-120mm. Forgot to turn it off with the tripod but did also take some hand held that displayed the same issue.

It maybe that, I seem to remember when VR came out there was some oddities with it, such as yours. Does it happen with it off?

Never noticed before, first time I've done landscapes since I got it back. But that's why I mentioned that I got the same result with the 24-70 as this would rule out VR being the issue.

Edit, just remembered it's not the first time I've done landscapes since getting it back, it's actually the second time.

Hmmm... Not sure then!

Nope, it's a puzzler for sure. Not even sure it's shutter shock either as I believe this affects the whole frame, plus one of the worst ones was at 1/250 (handheld) which is both outside the normal range of shutter shock and VR issues :confused:
 
A few from my less than perfect morning at Mam Tor.

5.And even though this is affected by the weird 'blurring' phenomenon my camera has I still quite like it. Really wish the mid frame wasn't blurred though :( Done my best to make it as least noticeable as possible

@snerkler A nice set there. You have even captured a Parhelia in No.4 It's dim but it's there :)

Thanks guys. TBH I think they're a bit 'meh' (as minnnt would say ;)), but it does often take me a while to see merit in my own stuff ;)

I really struggle to not get totally blown out suns when I shoot sunsets/sunrises, even with a 3 stop filter and underexposing. I see some pics where the sun is a nicely exposed perfectly round circle (with or without flare/bursts), how do I get these. My skies are already too dark with the 3 stop filter and I have to lift them without lifting the sun so I'm a bit 'dubious' about using a stronger grad filter.

Bracket your shots would probably be my advice. Or... Shoot away from the sun.

Just seen this from another image of mine. This is a 100% crop but to me it looks like there's a band of blurring as it looks fine at the bottom and not too bad right at the top, would you agree? Would this suggest that it could be something as the shutter's moving across the sensor? It's very weird and I'm just trying to figure it out. I've never had it before in any situation even with all the AF issues and the only thing that's changed is that I've had the shutter replaced. It does look like selective shutter shock, although as with camera shake I'd expect this to affect the whole image :confused:

Lovely set
2 and 3 for me.
Weird about what's going on with your camera thou.
 
minnnt said:
That looks f***ed to me mate. You need to get that sorted! Number 3 is my favourite from that set. Nice colour and a great view.

Here's one from Sunday morning

Thanks. Yep, fubar. I've not heard back from Nikon MD/Nikon Rep today which I find disappointing to say the least considering the ongoing issues.

That's a lovely crisp image. The IQ is superb. I've noticed of late how much my filter degrades the IQ of my lenses, so much crisper without. Also, I get a lot of vignetting and sometimes infringement of the filter itself. I really need to get a 100mm holder and some decent filters. Trouble is they're not cheap, around £300 for what I need :(

24mm innit.

I bought a cheap holder and a LEE 2 stop soft grad. I also have a CPL but the glass is marked which shows up sometime.
 
Processing nikon d750 with lightroom, I know that raw files are raw... so they lack sharpening, contrast, vibrance...
However with the d750 more that with any other camera i have own when the picture are imported they really are really dull. I end up adding much more vibrance that i ever did in the past. In camera calibration i used lightroom standart but i'm just wondering if i should use camera standard which seems more colourfull and dynamic as a base instead? Any thought in which camera calibration you are using and why?

Maybe there was a band of warm air adding the blurry/shimming effect. I have seen this phenomenon before in landscape shots.

They are dull but I can't say any more than my previous cameras. That being said I recently borrowed my mate's D7200 and noticed how much more vibrant they are.

I generally use Adobe profile, but do sometimes use camera standard.

Really? That's weird. Do you think it'd account for all the other images though, it appeared in numerous different locations/views?

Just had a Google and blurring I've seen from warm air looks quite different in those examples. Do you have examples that look like the ones I've shown.

Also, one of the shots with the grass bank on the left shows blurring of the bank as it approaches the mid frame and that wouldn't be affected by heat aberrations. I'll post it tomorrow to see what you think.

Not sure how this could be due to warm air?
 
minnnt said:
It's not, it's due to your camera being f***ed.

The 2 new premium lenses from Samyang look sweet! I'd actually be tempted by the 85mm f1.2 despite being MF.

I thought that it was tricky to get bigger than f1.4 on Nikon due to the mount?

I wonder if the f1.2 will only be for canon

I thought it was just my pictures tbh.

It's hard to explain and pinpoint but in certain light conditions I've hardly had to add any.

I think that was with AF. Having said that, Samyang only list Canon on the 85 spec sheet but multiple mounts on the new 14 that is coming out.

So the Mitakon 85mm f1.2 it is then!

85 1.2 only for Canon mount.
