I'm presuming the AF speed is pretty good given pigeons are pretty quick.
Have you since found something better?
I've been using Anusol but it's not working...
Sorry, I was asking how you found the auto focus on the Nikon 70-300, I've just got the Sigma 70-300 and is seems okay, but missed a few so I was wondering how you would rate it or if you'd since upgraded to something else you found to be better.
...was - what on earth did you get instead of the Tamron 150-600?
Lol, fair enough, I used to have a couple of sigmas (50-500 & 15-500) so I know what you mean.
I'll look up focus freeze, I had the Tamron in the back of my mind for the future.
I had the same lenses and only had the 105mm that works on FF.
Bought a D750 (and 24-70) and just sold one of my D300s, and my Tokina lens. No regrets at all.
DO IT
Just do it, you'll not regret itI'm adding all of your names to my list. Damn the lot of you. I'd almost convinced myself that a D7200 was the appropriate upgrade from my D7000. After all, I've only got one FX lens and I do quite like the Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8, 35 f/1.8 and Tokina 11-16 f/2.8. What would be the point in getting rid of all of my DX kit?
I've spent the last couple of weeks agonising. I've read countless reviews of both the D7200 and D750. I've pixel peeped at every available comparative test shot.
I'd almost convinced myself the only difference was the price and better high ISO performance. And the inevitable expense in replacing the 17-55 and 11-16 with their FX equivalents. That's after I fork out for an 85 f/1.8.
I've spent the last couple of days scouring Flickr. Searching for 'portrait' and 'people' in addition to 'D7200' or 'D750' reveals something rather interesting. Their are significantly more headshots taken with the D750 and, without wanting to appear rude, they 'look' better. There's a certain 'sharpness', an 'edge' that just isn't there with the DX body. Is it the lens? Is it the technique? The ability of the photographer?
And then there are the photographs in this thread.
Damn the lot of you.
My wife will be happy with me selling all of my DX kit given that I generally only use my Oly E-P5 and Ricoh GR these days. It's the bit about buying a D750 and an 85 f/1.8 that I can't quite visualise the likely outcome to. That is, without loud noises and me running for cover.
Damn the lot of you.
Just do it, you'll not regret it
Lol. It's worth itI'm sure I won't. Once I perfect the art of sleeping with one eye open.

Just stick a D7200 sticker over the D750 and don't say anything
Looked back through some of my pics, got a few half decent shots. Pretty certain i want the 20mm f1.8 though now.
That's nice David, great reflections and you've managed to get some light in the sky.
"The 20mm Nik' lens is very good".
George.
The colour depth and clarity are stunning.
Thanks George. Is this the new f1.8 version you refer to? Did (do?) you own it with your D800?
I'm pretty sure the only reason 'pro' street togs put black tape on their cameras is to prevent their wives from figuring out they've bought a new camera.
I don't get the whole taping the camera make/model up to be honest, why do they do that?Waste of time people still look,and in this day and age wouldn't want to try to cover something up,then point it at people
More D750 weddingy stuff...
And thanks to the tilt screen:

Interesting. I just did a quick google search but didn't find anything on the dispute. What was the issue?Their was a dispute that Nikon had with its pro a few years ago now,so they cover up their Nikon camera in protest,but otherwise
Probably the same reason the very first thing you do when you buy a new car is to replace the dealer supplied plates and take the dealer sticker out of the rear window.I don't get the whole taping the camera make/model up to be honest, why do they do that?

Is it???? Can't say I do that either so it still baffles me why they are embarrassed or deliberately secretive about what they shoot withProbably the same reason the very first thing you do when you buy a new car is to replace the dealer supplied plates and take the dealer sticker out of the rear window.
