Nikon D800......

[macvisual]

That was my concern. Fairly long focal length for manual focus - for me anyway.

For a moving subject it would be akward alright, but general stuff I'd say it would be fine. That recent shot of the Doberman I posted above was a tricky grab shot with the Sammy 85mm f1.4, I shot two images close together and one was great and the other was pants outta focus, but the dog was not sitting still for too long, kept on shifting up and down.

Any manual focus lens isn't good for this style of photography.

Some more from my brief ventures to Happisburgh coast this week.
Figured out how to override the D800 poor low light manual focus in LV.....switch to video LV Ap Pr. Problem solved

Superb Neil , I can smell the countryside with that photo.............so sharp.

Great shot Neil, well composed, spot on colour, and if I'm not mistaken good use of a bit of fill light.

Quite like that Neil, nice subtle lighting.
