Nikon D750 & D780

[kingo15]

I've started to leave mine on auto iso at the minute. Only due to having it ready for quick puppy shots. But unless I need it for something specific I might just level it alone. Just one less thing for me to forget about and get wrong [emoji6]

I did this last Friday with my lenses, though not sure if I have got it right.

The 28-75 seems to give better results now then it did, but need to use it for portrait as before I would focus on the eye and the ear would be sharper compared to the eyes.

I tend to fine tune by just testing lens on a tripod and if not happy will fine tune until it looks right.

Its not technical but I trust my eyes more than software I guess.

Plus my main 2 lenses are primes so probably a bit easier.

I'm often on auto unless its something super important. The D750 is so good at high iso I feel happy using auto.

Just make sure I have minimum shutter speed set too.

What your minimum shutter speed? Auto so it adjusts to the focal length?

 

[kingo15]

Would be handy if it set to say twice the focal length

I have it set to 1/250 for both primes just to be on the safe side.

Would be handy if you could save it for different lenses too like you can with fine tuning.

Perhaps the d760 will be like that [emoji6]

You can fine tune the minimum focal length on auto. You can have it on default which is 1/focal length, faster so it's 1 or 2 stops faster than 1/focal length, or slower so it's 1 or 2 stops slower than 1/focal length. IMO this means that you don't need to set it for individual lenses. The only time it will move from this is if ISO reaches the max value it will then start to make the shutter speed slower. I tend to have mine set to 1 stop faster to be on the safe side, but will manually alter it if necessary.

For general shooting I don't understand why you'd not choose auto ISO, just one less thing to have to do and you can concentrate on shooting, especially as ISO does not affect the effect of the image per se. For landscapes, studio and shoots where exposure needs to be locked obviously I see the benefit of manual ISO. Each to their own and all that though

Yeah for 99% of the time mine is. I have previously left mine in a really high iso and forgot. Went to the zoo and was wondering why everything wasn't so clean.

Then the penny dropped!

You can fine tune the minimum focal length on auto. You can have it on default which is 1/focal length, faster so it's 1 or 2 stops faster than 1/focal length, or slower so it's 1 or 2 stops slower than 1/focal length. IMO this means that you don't need to set it for individual lenses. The only time it will move from this is if ISO reaches the max value it will then start to make the shutter speed slower. I tend to have mine set to 1 stop faster to be on the safe side, but will manually alter it if necessary.

I'll have a play with that later. Will help pass the time when's it's dark

I always wondered what a manual would help with! Thats what I needed!

Picked up the PD slide and RC2 plate yesterday Cheers for the help guys. Seems like a really good strap

I'm very tempted to get rid of my 24 ART, just not feeling it.

You have to be careful with Auto ISO too, as it appears to be AUTO from whatever your ISO is set at. So if you manually select 4000, then bump it into AUTO, it won't go below 4000.

Always a learning day here. Thanks

Don't get this blog at all, what's so insane about them? If we knew they were at ISO 52000 or something I might be more impressed, but for all I know they were at 1600 ISO.

It does actually, but only if it's going to overexpose the image it won't do it by 'default'. Also, when using flash and auto ISO it will only increase by 2 stops.

Those trees are casting an awful lot of shadows for the middle of the night as well.

I've taken better shots than that in moonlight.

 

[minnnt]

I heard a rumor this was ISO 437482974616.1

 

[Chuckoir]

Wonder what screen protector he had on it.

The lens or the FL Andy?

I seem to use 35 for most out and about stuff these days, always struggled with wider.

The focal length, I need wider than 35 occasionally though. Tempted to see if I can borrow the 28 for a play with from someone.

Could be the go-between you're after. I've got the 24-70 if needs be for my uses. Reckon the 28 is fast and sharp enough so have you a zoom to use in the FL for a bit to see how you get on with that element?

What's a zoom?

Thought you might say that. Another word for them is a 'back up' [emoji3]

@KitsuneAndy I have the 28mm, its a tricky yet excellent lens!

It's getting time to get used to, but the images it produces are pretty good. It almost gives a more movie type effect and not too wide to make things look a bit silly.

The lens itself is small a light. Feels a bit hollow, but solid enough.

If I broke a lens I'd just go home.



I'd just move to the next lens, so 35 / 24. or 58 / 85 / 90.

I use the 35 more than anything though at the minute.

Let me know when you're selling it

Apparently is had a larmor one but it was removed when the camera had to be sent back for a recall

A few shots from an early morning hike in the Mourne Mountains on Sunday morning past.
There was a stunning sunrise and sunset here on Saturday and another great sunset on Sunday afternoon but Sunday morning was the only time i could get away.

Thinking about getting the Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX (non Art) lens for the occasional portrait when space is limited, has anyone any experience with this lens and would like to share their views on rendering, AF speed and AF accuracy please?

It's between this and the Nikon 50mm f1.4g as both are similar prices used, but I think I have a slight preference for the Sigma's rendering.

What wrong with the Art version that is one hell of a lens.
