Just a couple of thoughts.. all meant to be constructive.. I took delivery of the e version a week ago...I'm still fooling with it in the studio so no out in...

Hi AYRTON, I meant moire produced by the pixels of the downsized images and the display screen pixels that we call shimmering. Not moire in the images...
Hi, Don't you think that with a D800 we reached the limit of some lenses? Are the 10,5mm, 16mm and 24mm lenses sharp enough? Does the Zeiss Distagon T* 25mm...
... Not uniquely. The absolute pixel density isn't that large, it's about the same as 16 megapixel APS-C sized sensor. Any APS-C sized camera with more than...
... Hi Luc, According to Photozone review the T* 25mm f/2.8 ZF isn't a great lens: http://www.photozone.de/nikon_ff/585-zeisszf2528ff?start=2 Best regards, ...
Luc, I honestly feel that with several lenses we have gone past the ability to resolve what it will produce.. I am actually surprised that I'm taking this...

So as mirror-flap becomes a problem to overcome -- how does that reflect on mirrorless cameras as a possible avenue for reducing that particular problem?...
I have no clue what I'm saying here but most likely that's the future.. The work around with the 800 is live view but that just doesn't work well in many...
... Mirror slap has ever been a problem. On analog film as well as on DSLRs. If you want the sharpest possible images you ever needed to use mirror lockup or...
... Great question. I look forward to finding out soon, now that a circular fisheye is imminent for some of the mirrorless bodies. I hadn't seen the Yasuhara...

That Madoka fisheye has been lurking around for a while. I wish Sigma would make some more E-mount lenses. Sigma is making a few and they get high marks....
a pano of this size turned out to be not entirely doable in 24 hours with the equipment and planning I did. people here, you might only see errors. but you...
So, was it worth doing? I mean, it is a very remarkable image, but what is the gratification? Were you well paid to create it or was it a labor of love?...
Hi Jeffrey, So... After all that hard work. What was the main problem? The shooting? The software workflow? Could you improve the image by shooting top->down...
There were many problems. Mainly, they wanted a larger image than last year, and it was hard to do that :) and I probably didn't prepare for it quite as much...
... "At whopping 23-gigapixels, # Well maybe your original photos are that but presented size is 90.000x180.000 = 16,2 megapixel and that includes a white...
... Erik is 300% true. If you try that trick you will end up buying BERLEBACH VINTEN CARTONI SACHTLER and no tube-telescopic-leg manfrotto, gitzo etc. You will...
... We once where out to shoot a lunar eclipse, I with my manfrotto and a freind with a Sachtler. We both had 1000mm lenses - I my russian mirror lens, he an...

Well, the prices for their tripods would freeze anybody solid....:-)...
Erik That is likely from your mirror being so light in weight possibly also.. I have Nikon's 600 f4 and 800 5.6 and shoot them off a Gitzo 401 with a...
@Erik The shape of the leg (parallel tubes) and a well built construction, the spread Y on the ground to keep legs together, the shape itself of the "bowl"...
... I doubt that. It weights 2kg (ok, the Olympus lens is 4kg) but that should change the shaking frequency only, not the amplitude. And the Olympus lens is...
Not sure I agree with you in this instance.. The glass lens is close to 9lbs.. So easily double the weight.. Also if the long lens is "properly"; balanced on...
... Since it is so long the camera is further away from the common balance point. Hence it has more pull. However, even if this is relevant it won't cause the...
