D500 35/1.4g,
do i see chroma noise?

[armando_m]

Thanks Armando.

Ah, and you like the Sigma.?  I have been looking for that one, attractive specs ; the 15cm close focus. Not many to find second hand, so I presume they are very good

yes it is ok, far corners never get sharp enough, maybe at f16, but most of it is sharp from f4 and on. Filter film can be installed in the back of the lens, but I never tried it
 
Since I got the 20mm f1.8 the fisheye gets very little use, I'm thinking about selling it, to bad we are so far

First proper outing today after hospital but this was in the garden some time back.  Sort of in your face PP.  I should learn how to use Olympus Viewer rather than PS.
Monsoon colours with EM1.  I'll post todays images later as part of a Documentary project (one of two I'm working on) .

love the definition!
1.8/75mm Zuiko?

Thanks for the explanation Armando.

Difficult to tell Fons.
Is the D500 better than the Df?

The versatility of the 35/1.4 AIS

Better? No, different yes. More detail sharpness, me struggling to get the IQ right sofar.
Handling is a different class.The Df being a fx Mf camera, d500 a dx Af camera.
Though i have only been shooting like a few days, rethinking a lot of lenses also.
Anyone's got a 17-55/2.8 ?

[Frank Fremerey]

I starkly underestimated the D500 in the beginning.

And, though I am still waiting in awe for a fifth gen full frame high res I must say that in most cases the D500 outperforms even the D600.

She has AF
She has superb ergonomics when you add the MB
She has WB like none before
She has color consitency to an extent not seen before in Nikons
She has speed reliability dependability in ways only seen with the one-digits before

Downside is a steep learning curve in the editing
Department. TRY NX-D on her! She is the perfect
Companion to this software.

Df  17-35/2.8   (after having compared and tested a lot of wide lenses, still coming back to the excellent image-quality of the 17-35
