That sucks. I saw your listing. Was tempted by teh Zeiss lens, but having just bought a D800E... thought that would be pushing it a bit

Where you been Keith, not seen anything of you on here for ages mate.I just use whatever the default is set to in LR5 for sharpening. I rarely move it. Sometimes I make very minor adjustments.
Only missed you because i got fed up of scrapping with Pookeyhead, no competition. LOLDidn't think anyone would notice tbh cheers.
Has anyone used the new Nikon 35mm f1.8 FX lens yet?
No, but I have been following a rolling review. From what I have seen I'd skip it and get a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 as the new Nikon looks a bit mediocre.
You're joking right ???? - it's had some rave reviews. Nikon know their onions, the images I have seen are fantastic !!!
Yup, agree totally, the Nikon is actually a bit disappointing, the Sigma is outstanding in every respectThe Sigma looks better at every aperture to my eye. If it was a 35mm for a D800/E I'd recommend the Sigma for IQ, build quality and best bang for your buck.
My first shot with the 24-120 F4 I acquired recently, looks very promising to me
Hard to tell at the res you posted it. At this res, any lens will look fine.
LOL, ya can't have a sh1te on here without someone wanting to sift through it and tell you it's not brown enough or it's too runny.Knowing this forum I probably should have worded the post better - It was really meant as a personal observation based on my experience of using the lens, not as a post to encourage an analytical study

Had a look at your site Simon, some cracking pictures. Do you ever use the Nikon 24mm f/3.5 PC-E for landscape shots?

Simons an award winning critically acclaimed and published photographer, im pretty sure he knows whats a good lens and whats not and am sure as a working pro he's not about to put up 6000 pixel wide images when he's got a business to run selling prints.
Then buy a bleeding print, not everyone wants tp post zillion mega pixel images for you go scrutinise like a fly looking for the tastiest turd and even when they do youre never happyEver thought I was interested in seeing what the lens can do?
Dont be a sanctimonious prick David, nobody, least of all me was looking for a fight, and less of the smarmy comments, this was civil until you took it the wrong wayAnd there's always someone trying to start a fight. You not getting any lately or something? You seem a bit edgy
There you go again, where on earth was i stirring anything up, where was i kicking off, you just look for trouble David where it doesnt existThe only trouble here is the trouble you're stirring up. I simply said "Hard to tell at the res posted". If you feel that's reason enough to kick off... yeah.. definitely not getting any
LOL, My twin brother is called David and we fought like cats and dogs as kids, but seriously i wasn't baiting David in any way shape or form, or at least that wasn't my intention, not this time.... when i'm bored of drifting between threads on the forum it's always nice to drop onto a "David and Gary" scrap!!! Lol
Simon, that's a beautiful picture. Please keep posting them here. I've been to your website too, some really wonderful pics over there. I wonder how you do it
That said, maybe we should not take such statements as Simon's when he posted his image too literal. When I read the text preceding the image, I had the impression that Simon had taken a nice picture, wanted to share it, and found some friendly pretext to introduce it. But even if Simon would have wanted to say something about the lens, the image serves the purpose. All Simon said that the lens looks promising - and it's a nice image he posted, taken with that lens, so the image serves the purpose
I used the in camera HDR option using the 2 stop setting, the cliff face on the left was very dark as it's in shadow and it brought that up well, im not a landscape photographer and nor am i any good at PP so hoping to learn a bit more about using grads/filters etc, etc.A nice picture, especially with those trails of footprints. It looks a little over-processed to me though, especially in the sky?
This is the exact same scene, photo taken about 1/10th second afterwards without any in camera shenanigansnice pic, impressive details in the shadows on the left!
