Now there is a lot of talk about the 50 f1.2S, but I am pleased with my 1.8.

The eyefocus works fine through the tintet glas

Great picture at #136 ! You can even see the stars, while having the laser show (or whatever)  Great and fine detail !

Tank you. It is normal light.

It's not necessary to shoot JPG to get a near instant JPG. One is embedded in every NEF file. On the PC there is a program called Instant Jpeg from RAW. You can select a few or all of the images in a folder, right click and Instant Jpeg from RAW will extract the JPG(s) in seconds. I don't use it much but sometimes I find it useful.

Here is a link for both Windows and MAC versions...

You select your OS and received a link by email. There are versions for Windows 7, 8 and 10 and macOS 10.10, 10.11 and 10.12. I  don't know if Instant Jpeg from RAW run on macOS 10.13. I haven't tried it on any macOS.

I turn off almost all in camera auto correction features of my D850 but then I can add them back since I use Nikon Capture NX-D to develop NEF(s). I like Capture NX-D for its control and excellent color. It also afford me an opportunity for an occasional nap during the day.

But Dave,  making a JPG from a Raw is nothing special. All Raw Readers (Image Viewers)  like Faststone do it in 2 clicks.... https://www.faststone.org/   Or do I miss the point?

This discussion is longer than I thought so my comment is far from the post that inspired it. I apologize.

I think it's important to shoot NEF so if post processing is needed it's available. I don't shoot NEF + JPG fine as I don't want to save straight out of camera JPG(s). Not saving a paired Jpeg for each NEF I keep saves space on hard drives.

Faststone sounds familiar but I don't know if I've ever used it.
