Re: Nikon D850 or D500
Hello Rob Thanks for your reply, I am going to say something quite controversial now, I have seen quiet a few pictures taken with a Z9 and to be honest I do not like them, the mirrorless has the

Dear Roy / All I believe, from personal experience, that whilst other group members have given you some really good advice, there is another matter which I feel should be taken into account. Around 2

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
Having said that, I should add that since switching to mirrorless, the only DSLR I've kept is the D500. Why? Because there are times when that DX body and the amazing little 300/4pf give me things no

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
If price isn't an issue I'd absolutely go for the D850 as it's sorta two cameras in one, since you can shoot in either DX or FX. In DX mode, I find it slightly better than the D500. Dane

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
I ran both my D70 and D300 with both DX and FX glass with no problem, I think my wife used her D200 at times with FX glass. You¡¯ll get better results with marginal FX glass on a DX body, as it uses

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
Your good FX glass on a DX sensor is probably better than most DX glass. If you get a second D850, I don't see the advantage of running it in DX mode with FX glass other than the immediate crop

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
Zane, Great advice as always but you said something about high end glass, I already own high end glass in FX and I had not intended buying any DX lenses, I do not know the implications of using the fx

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
If you already have a D850, I¡¯d recommend a second. Consider this, if one of your bodies fails, it¡¯s better that the second is identical. Mind you, I¡¯m still shooting with a Nikon D800. If you

Re: Nikon D850 or D500
So if the price was not an issue you would have 2 D850's? To be fair in the UK there is not that much difference in price. -- Kind Regards Roy

Nikon D850 or D500
Hello All I recently asked a question which was D7200 v D500, I own a D7200 but was wondering about getting a D500 instead as the button layout is the same as my D850, However it was recently put to

Re: Variable Neutral Density filters
Yes, I do manually adjust the flash outputas needed, that is not the issue. It's the ambient direct sunlight during the day where I have the problem. [email protected]> wrote:

Oh, I don't worry about diffraction. Most people wouldn't notice it anyway. I adjust aperture and flash output as needed and leave my SS? (1/250th) alone unless I want more ambient light on the
