Nikon AF Long Lens under $9,000 !! s
By now you'll probably have all the answers you need but maybe you might
consider my solution. $2.5k worth. A hand made Sigma (this model is all hand made) 120 - 300 F/2.8 with a 2x tele-converter. 600 mm reach, F/5.6 aperture and truly prime lens quality images at it's longest reach. The only catch is the filter size. I had to pay $170 for a circular polariser for mine! Dinner plate size front element. A heavy lens by any standard but excellent results at a fraction of the cost of 600mm Nikor or Canon "L". The one thing that it might have benefitted from is Image stabalization but a gimballed tripod makes up for it and with the D3 you can up the ISO to get a fast shutter speed without losing any image quality. Example at 300mm. http://gallery.photographyreview.com...hy//502/01.jpg -- Visit my site: D-Mac.info My photos, Information about trolls and a little bit of fun too! "John Smith" wrote in message ... I've got a Nikon D3 and occasionally rent a 500mm or 600mm for sports, surfing, and wildlife photography. I'd love to buy one of Nikon's latest 400mm, 500mm or 600mm AF lenses but at $7,500 - $9,500 they're just way too expensive for me. Does anyone know of any AF glass at 400mm+ that might be available at a more reasonable cost? With the D3's excellent performance at higher ISO's, I certainly don't need an f/2.8 lens, or even an f./4 lens. TIA--- |

Either of which is a waste of resources on the rest of us. -- Visit my site: D-Mac.info My photos, Information about trolls and a little bit of fun too! well having seen your photographs Douggie I can agree that yes, a Camera IS a waste of resources on you :-) and Douggie, don't despair, I don't think that life is a wasted resource on you, after all, for some people their life shines out as a warning to others, so you should feel proud that your beacon is keeping others from smashing into the same rocky pile of bull**** and bile that holed your keel so many years ago. I have a Camera, I have taken the odd photo with it as well, nothing special and nothing that I feel is up to most of the standards presented by a lot of the contributors here, but if I was to compare it too yours, it would probably come of favorably, at least I know how to stitch a panno so tree's don't grow out of thin air and foot paths don't disappear along with the stairways to nowhere. When are we going to see the Manly thing Douggie, or are you not manly enough ?? -- [This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International] "I like your Christ.

I really didn't think you had the balls to admit you troll the groups for entertainment, not information. Now tell us about the copyright claim.

You are a dead set arsehole. I'm pleased someone has managed to pull you up at least for this ****. No doubt there's be more to come too! For someone who can't get the date and time settings right on his computer, it is unsurprising that AC's sig line whooooshed overhead. Douglas, it is the 3rd January. THIRD. After you get that right, check your nearest clock (it's 7:01 now..*), and lastly, try to get the timezone right. * Or maybe try to find someone with the time writted on a piece of paper.

Do you really think the "Canberra Internet crimes squad" (if it really even
does exist) really gives a rats ass about some "Pete D" and "D. Mac" ****ing at each other about a camera lens? Give me a break! You guys sound like two old ladies arguing over who stole who's knitting needles. Or perhaps more accurately, two old fags arguing about whose dick is longer. Just shut the **** up, both of you...

This coming from the person posting "Peter Dee" photos but denying he is "Peter Dee" when I asked him. Only to later admit it is him. Hey fool. Did you think you were being smart in using a form on my web site to anonomously (ROTF) send me hate mail? Did you fell like the idiot your are when you posted a message to aus.photo from the same IP address as I recorded in the form? Be serious here Peter. Do you really think you opinion has any value more than anyone elses? Or are you just bening an arsehole like you've been for the last few years? Tell me Peter, was it the Canberra Internet crimes squad that forced you to remove your defamation insult about me from the headers of your messages or did you have a change of heart when IInet told you to do it or be thrown off their servers? You wouldn't know what quality was if it bit you on the bum. -- Visit my site: D-Mac.info My photos, Information about trolls and a little bit of fun too! |

Here, you're rationalizing your purchase. You must feel really threatened. Hell, my DSLR fits in my jacket pocket too. But I don't always wear a jacket. If your dSLR with a 36-432 mm f/2.8 zoom lens fits in your jacket pocket, then you and your jacket must be WAY bigger than me. I can get my DSLR with its 35 mm film equiv of 28-400mm zoom into my jacket pocket. But at its longest it's max aperture is f5.6, two stops over your f2.8. But because my pixels are bigger, I can push ISO more than two stops past your P&S at the same noise level. So I've got a wider zoom range with better low light capability in a jacket pocketable camera. Does that make it superior? Really? I'm not making any claims, I'm asking your opinion. Stabilized? Yes. Same level of quality? As far as I can tell from looking at other's web posted photographs, but I'm asking your judgment. What lens would that be? There's only one 18-250mm DSLR zoom on the market AFAIK, although it has been rebadged by some makers. It's well known to be unexpectedly good in image quality for its range. If you're not familar with that particular DSLR lens competitor to your P&S zoom range claims, a lens that was developed specifically for that purpose, then you really should update your arguments in case they're out of date. And the aperture issue isn't dismissed so easily. My argument was that for practical purposes using a two stop higher ISO on a camera with a sensor large enough to do so without introducing extra noise would be effectively equivalent in quality. It also wouldn't be so much different in DoF either. If you think I've forgotten some important issues there I'd be glad to hear them. -- Chris Malcolm |
