View Full Version : anyone got any experience with a 28mm nikkor F1.4D? ChefDude 28 April 2006, 15:57 how does it compare to a 50mm 1.4? is it as fast (on a D70, firmware 2.0)? is it sharp at 1.4? what are the sweet stops? any sample pics? sunlight, indoors and arena/concert type shots appreciated. Daryl 28 April 2006, 16:22 No, but there are some reviews on Fred Miranda that rate it a 10, so it must be good! 28mm f/1.4D (http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=57&sort=7&cat=12&page=1) ChefDude 28 April 2006, 16:27 lol "If I ever come to learn that someone used a flash with this lens, I'll personnaly find the guy, gently kick his ass and teach him all the possibilities this marvel enables. " i thought it was a good'n. better save some pennies. might be doing some gigs, so i'd like a slightly wider lens than the 50mil. i want a full frame nikon dslr :( Daryl 28 April 2006, 16:28 Oh, and here's some sample pics! :) Samples (http://www.pbase.com/cameras/nikon/28_14d_af) Daryl 28 April 2006, 16:30 i want a full frame nikon dslr :( I thought they did one, the 5D... Oh, hang on, wrong manufacturer :lol1: ChefDude 28 April 2006, 16:34 twist the knife, that's it! hehe ChefDude 28 April 2006, 16:39 seems to be talk of a potential D3 full frame.... will have to wait and see...

ChefDude 28 April 2006, 17:26 what's the d2x like with high iso/noise? i quite like the noise some of the time (helps when it's unavoidable on the d70 lol) - lends itself to the moody low light situations. Simon C 28 April 2006, 17:54 Calling Alwyn to simualte a gig in his. The D2x has 1 major problem, it relies on boosting its levels to hit 1600 and 3200, where as the D200 only has to boost to get to 3200, it has a native 1600 iso. Daryl 28 April 2006, 20:08 I just want a completely noiseless sensor at 1600 ISO. All these N***n users seem to have the same problem... they should have bought a Canon EOS 5D :lol1: Simon C 28 April 2006, 20:16 All these N***n users seem to have the same problem... they should have bought a Canon EOS 5D :lol1: Nahhh wouldn't want a white lens, gotta pay the price somewhere!! :p In all seriousness though, the D200 ain't bad, and I've seen more Nikons at gigs than Canons, and more canons used for press stuff than Nikons. STi-Frenchie 29 April 2006, 09:30 I quite like the noise at higher ISOs with the Nikons and if I need more to get that grainy film effect I can just use Photoshop to add more in :) What I want though is a 50 ISO setting with a "Velvia" mode -- all of the filters/actions I've seen with Photoshop never quite manage to make it as good as the original. STi-Frenchie 29 April 2006, 10:58 Almost forgot, the sweet spot on the 28mm f/1.4 is at f/5.6 according to the lens tests done by Chasseur d'Images Castrol 29 April 2006, 14:25 what's the d2x like with high iso/noise? It's fine. I use mine at higher settings all the time. ChefDude 15 May 2006, 15:58 just had a play with this lens at lunch time. can't wait to get it. lovely. v fast. :D |
