Dear all, does anyone has some datas about the Steinheil Quinar 135 2.8. Its a wonderful lens: The BOKEH Quantum. I use ist at D300. Thanks Some info I selected in http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

LOMOGRAPHY: based on film: Soviet Union made camera. However whats DIGITAL LOMOGRAPHY ? I love experiments like LOMO... Might that CreativeLightBrain in my gallery belongs to ... http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

The 18-55 VR is a great lens to start up. We use it a lot at D40/D60/D300: small and has a great macro too 1:3. http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

Use MF: the 55/2.8 AIS great lens, KIRON 105/2.8 wonderful too and AF:old Sigma 50/2.8 EX . Were at F100 now D300. http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi

Not at all: only AF-S lenses will work, not AF or AF-D !!! Whats about close up lenses for 18-55 VR ? http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

Difficult to say. D40 is still a good camera. High ISO values are better for newer cameras. However please test it in a shop . http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi

Use the Sigma 50-200 HSM OS. A great lens for the money! http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

Might be the 35-70/2.8 AF-D ? http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi

The zooms will not go to 1:1, however there is a chance to come near to 1:2 with close up lenses (achromates). Some examples are in http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Joerg

Any recommendations available about the quality of close up lenses ? Use the old MINOLTA achromates 55 mm No. 0,1,2 and a Kenko achromate 62 mm. +3dpt. joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi Thanks JV

We have the D40 , the D60 and the D300 in use. With all we can get great results. You will find differences in Resolution and Noise ... AF speed ... number focus fields .... The D80 is also one with special features. The question to ask is: what advantages you are looking for if you switch to...

D300 is a great camera - same feeling like F100 from film area. Backup is a D60. However DX lenses are another story, e.g. 35/1.8 http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino

Dear all, any experience with the 35/1.8 CAs? I made some tests with close up lenses. I was disappointed in the high CAs( A 16 !) at the corners. Than I removed the close up lenses: same result! However, the old MINOLTA achromates worked well . I got 1:2.8 combining No. 1 (+ 2) and No. 2...

Why 16-85 VR and not the 18-200 ? 16-85 is a great lens and its enough of zoom range. Some concentration is useful, normally I recommend to use sometimes prime lenses or 2*zooms. As a long I used 55-200 VR, however moved to the Sigma 50-200 OS HSM, because it has similar optical qualitiy but...

Use the old Sigma AF 50/2.8 EX works well - other macros are Nikkor AI-S 55/2.8 and Kiron 105/2.8 all with the D300. Work only with MF also if I use the Sigma 50/2.8 ! http://joergvetter.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi BR Atomino
