there are some things that didn't translate very well through google translate but it's generally spot-on in most cases

My Japanese is no match for Akira-san's

I've been quite busy. This is a two-part interview, and the one Richard linked is the first half.

I'll post the summarized translation after the part 2 is published.

I will wait for the 2nd part

Sato Hauro-san will be giving us a tour on the 27th around lunch and talk about some Nikkor lens design and philosophy. If you have time maybe you will want to join?

Going back to the Nikon D850's digitizer gimmick, this is what I use and I think that this is a bit more flexible

Unfortunately I have another appointment on the 27th. Hope you enjoy the tour.

In the 2nd part, they will discuss the new "natural light auto" and the digitizing of the negative films among others.

Today I had another event with some difficult light situations. An event I know inside out, did it several times with all of my earlier cameras and I can for sure say that the D850 is a much better extension of my mind & soul than any of my earlier cameras.

Only the AF-System is still a tad different that the D500 AF-System and I have to be very careful which settings I chose or I will lose shots that would be easy with the right settings.

Apart from that fine tuning I can highly recommend the camera as the best camera Nikon has built to date. The D850 is as big a step from my D600 as my D3 was from my D70!!!

google translate works fine

very interesting test. had some trouble focussing with tje 1.8/85G in low light just like him. I did in fact think of user error more than camera error, see above. Situations in which the D500 had no trouble at all. Interesting. Further investigation is necessary.

High ISO is not so bad on the D850 either....

I decided to leave the chroma noise as is, because it gives the shot a Frankenstein like aura

Very nice shot, Frank.

thank you Arthur. It was a special night which made the superb responsiveness and dependability of the camera shine. She is up to long bursts but I usually need only short bursts:
