ISO 100 would bring that down by two stops ... approx. 1/750th ......
In fact just walked out and taken the following - dullish day, mid winter, clear sky, brightish, but not particularly so ………. they are digging up the vines at the back of our house
Av priority - shot at f4 and ISO400 ….. shutter speed came out at 1/3000th …… just a normal situation

Hi All,
I'm still seriously considering selling my D7000 and Fuji XPro-1 in for the D750 and have been looking at the Panamoz website as I have ordered from there before.
They are offering it with the 24-80 or the 24-120 for approx £140 more. Has anyone got any history with these lenses? Is it worth getting the bundle or better to get body only and look elsewhere for a decent lens? The only lens that I have that is not DX is a 50mm 1.8d. I have a 16-85mm nikon which is really nice on the D7k but don't think this will show what the D750 can do in all its glory.
I'm after a walkaround lens really to start me off in the jump to full frame. I do like landscape, wildlife and portraits so I'm thinking the 24-120 would be a better start? Any suggestions or info otherwise?
Thanks, Jim.
Do you mean the 24-85 or 24-70? I presume it's the 85 due to cost difference?
You would expect the 24-120 to be more versatile for two of your subjects mentioned, 24 landscape, 120 portraits and with the extra reach and constant f4 at the long end. The 24-85 is at f4.5 @ 85mm. It's usually always better value to buy a lens as part of a kit and it will give you a FF zoom lens to start off with, you have your prime. The next lenses up are the Nikon 24-70 or Tamron 24-70mm VC which are a lot more if buying individually and new. I used to have the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 which I found to be an excellent lens and great value, not sure if they still sell this with the newer VC model out.
Edit: Just checked and they have the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and the price comes to £1451 with this lens. I think Gary Coyle uses this lens on FF and recommends. I had it on my D7000 and found it great, another option for you??

I owned one very briefly a while ago, i cant remember the D4S being better, it might have been a smidgen quicker to lock on in good conditions but in very low light the D750 im pretty sure is better, the D750 is however better than the D3S and D4 without a shadow of doubt and i owned both of those a long time.Has anyone who has got a D4S compared the auto focus between that and the D750?

Beautiful day here....took the D750 to our country park this morning and promptly instructed my daughter (and our dog!) to run as quickly as they could directly towards the camera whilst I fired a few bursts. I tried the AF-C group focusing, as well as single point (sometimes off centre too), and used an 85mm 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G and my trusty 24-85 VR.
The results are amazing - I'd say 95% of the shots are in proper sharp focus - and I shot them all wide open on all three lenses. Yes the light was very good - bright crisp winter sunshine - but I wasn't expecting the 85mm or 50mm lenses to keep up with the motion at f/1.8 as it's a pretty narrow depth of field at that aperture and the former is clearly a portrait lens and not known for super fast AF. Very pleased with the AF on this camera - it's a very obvious improvement over the D600/610 and also the D700 (I've had all three and shot similar photos in the past).
I'll post a couple of examples shortly when I get a chance. Mighty impressive, given the lenses and apertures used (especially with the primes).

Morning,
I've brought from Panamoz before and never paid any import tax or anything, and I now want to order a D750 but one of my friends that I'd probably get hit with the Tax - is this the case? Has anyone else had to pay on top of the Panamoz price?
THanks, Jim.
My D750 was delivered today, unfortunately its faulty - the left button on the d-pad doesn't work at all. Got to go through the pain now of sending back to HK
That's the 4th reported grey with a defect I have seen on here, light leaks, wonky control wheel andBe interested to see how many "faulty" D750 there have been on this forum?
I'll start a poll

That's the 4th reported grey with a defect I have seen on here, light leaks, wonky control wheel and
now a focus button not working .Why are they £500 less when all the duties are being paid .No reply required.LOL

To those with a faulty grey import, did you check the number of shutter activations on receiving the camera? I have a D750 on its way from Panamoz and I think that's going to be the first thing I do.
It's reassuring to hear about their service when things go wrong.Yes and it was exactly the number of shots that I had taken. I done the same with UK cameras. Some crappy uk retailers could do with having service like panamoz, I sent them a faulty item back and they sent me the tracking details of the replacement the day the defective item was lifted. Not many uk companies would do that, they trusted me, something unheard of in uks pants customer service

I had a number of gripes about the D750 - namely the non D700 body style, the lack of a few switches, the 'amateur dial' on top and the size... in addition I was concerned about the 1/4000. Ok, only had it a few weeks but looking back very few pics over the last 4 years were above 1/4000. Certainly dropping to 100 ISO will get rid of that problem, in the case above Bill, going to f5.6 would be fine (and possibly be sharper as no lens is ever at its best wide open).
The gripes I have still remain but are MASSIVELY overshadowed by the camera - the MP is perfect, the DR, ISO performance... maybe 1 or 2 shots a year will be affected by not having faster SS, but I can live with that.
Can see the body size/shape not pleasing some, but I really really REALLY don't get the gripes with the dial. It's superb and much better than the D700 equivalent! WB and Qual can be quickly changed from back of camera (and these aren't things I ever had to access much on my D700 bodies). ISO can be accessed from back of camera or a reassigned REC button - that's way more comfortable than the D700 ISO button. Then, the trump card, is the U1 and U2 settings. What are people missing with the new dial?!?
Back on topic anyhow, are there any long fast primes worth trying on the D750? I'm missing the Sony Alpha Zeiss 135mm 1.8 quite badly, amazing colours and bokeh, great build and decent enough AF to shoot moving cars.
Budget would ideally be more no more than I bought my Zeiss for used (a grand).

The mode dial is fab! Despite shooting with a D700 for 6 years, I still sometimes turn the most command wheel the wrong way sometimes meaning it takes a few seconds to change from aperture priority to manual etc. Now, I can switch modes much easier and quicker.
The custom modes are really handy too for quickly preparing for specific scenarios which require vastly different settings. Having these available mean I can switch in and out of these settings with minimal disruption.
Mine (from Panamoz) too.Mine wasn't faulty, but I checked the shutter count as soon as I got it and it was brand spanking new,
