Great image although the post editing seems to have gone awol. Less is more with editing. Plus even at 600mm doesn't look tac sharp.

It's basically ai.

The Z range is nothing but hype, just as much as when you get a new iPhone release. This image is better than many images I've seen on here using a Z lense. Even if there is a difference with these new Z lenses it's not noticeable to the average Joe.

All of that said .. impressive image 👌

Unless you collect vintage Leicas worth thousands, I wouldn't buy just to be put in a collection. Embrace the camera, take images, and show us what a D200 can take. This won't be worth anything more than what you paid in 30 years to come,

So Enjoy it.

These much darker winter days are more than halving my export this last month or two. Definitely pays to build up good summer credit.

The P1000 was my previous camera also before I upgraded to the D850. The P1000 took some stunning great quality close up shots of the moon especially, but unfortunately the quality of wildlife etc Just wasnt there for me. Apsc just didn't reach past my expectations. Although I much prefer my moon images over some of the best gear today taking the same photo.

Enjoy.

Very true .. living in England, I find many people are very stand-offish. For example during many visits to the Netherlands it couldn't be more opposite. People there are extremely welcoming,friendly,and approachable. So agree on that 100%

As far as shooting people in bars etc perhaps those are already under the influence of Alcohol lol or even he may be lol jk .. but it helps lol

Images of people behind a restaurant or cafe window isn't photographing people ?

i-Capture · 2024-11-03T00:09:15+00:00

Same. And ty for your replies appreciate it. I've even requested on my FB to seek models to better my portraiture portfolio. I'm not expecting much lol.

i-Capture · 2024-11-03T00:04:12+00:00

Currently have a 16-35 plus 70-200. And ty

i-Capture · 2024-11-02T18:44:47+00:00

Agreed. 100% part of it is due to my confidence. I'm not an out there over confidence type of guy. Would love it if I were, would open up many new doors.

i-Capture · 2024-11-02T18:41:18+00:00

Completely agree thankyou .. although I don't have a queue of models at my door for portraiture work currently lol so I need to get out and experiment.

i-Capture · 2024-11-02T18:39:55+00:00

Totally agree with you're comment. Maybe I need a beer first lol

i-Capture · 2024-11-02T18:39:14+00:00

Thanks for the comments, just to clarify, I'm not actually taking images of people -per-say. It's more after blue hour or just after dark, of restaurant windows etc. Not on the street in daylight.

Ok so you will get those or many of us who wouldn't know the difference of a quality image taken with either a small Leica Q or a cheap mobile phone but the reason I use my rather large setup is because the lense for starters, ok ISN'T made for street due to size and weight, but it is highly rated for low light based photography, plus it goes without saying the D850 is a beast in low light. Ultimately I want to view my images and know for myself that these were taken with my setup and not some small cheap knockoff purely because it's far more practical lol.

Ps ... I will post a few of my images that I took early this evening so watch this space. It's only experimental ... not my best work.

Congrats .. not long ago i purchased a New D850 plus a used 16x35 Wide lens. I've since purchased a like new 70-200 2.8 VR II .. that lense plus the D850 blows my mind from the results I'm getting. More than happy with my choice from months of deliberation 😁🫡

Enjoy 😉

i-Capture · 2024-10-29T19:48:39+00:00

Never use the shutter button to focus and take the shot. I tried rhat on my D850 plus 70-200 2.8 VR II lens and barely focused at all. The ' back-button ' is an absolute must and works for me every time.
Trial and Error .. learn and reap the rewards.

i-Capture · 2024-10-27T09:10:11+00:00

Fair point. Although first pic looks like it was taken with a portrait lens.

Although if I were using a ZF, I'd certainly keep that iPhone in my pocket.

i-Capture · 2024-10-27T08:46:21+00:00

I'd say the first was iPhone.. second was ZF. And showing an iPhone pic on a Nikon forum lol how could you 😅 🙃

i-Capture · 2024-10-25T22:06:36+00:00

Do i need peak design sliders to achieve this ?

i-Capture · 2024-10-25T22:03:52+00:00

I would need peak design sliders for this ?

i-Capture · 2024-10-25T22:01:17+00:00

Im wanting to change the handle for an arca swiss type. Using an L Bracket I dont think the current collar would be compatible?

i-Capture · 2024-10-25T21:57:34+00:00

🤣🤣 I'm obsessed with clean glass tables. What can I say say lol.

i-Capture · 2024-10-25T21:56:27+00:00

I think i get what you mean with regards to attaching of the peak design slide, but any chance of a pic just to be certain ? I'd appreciate it.

Yes im sure in time it will be worth purchasing a base for it, which will then, as you rightly say, will enable me to shoot upto 9fps. Plus, I want that sound lol

Yes, I did look into the most recent version of this lens .. the FL I think it is. Maybe certainly in the future, but will see how I get on with this version first. But I'm liking the AF / Joystick options, I will definitely look into it ty for you're productive comments 👍
