I think my 24is off slightly too.
I am happy to send you my dock, if you want?
I think my 24is off slightly too.
As this is the busiest Nikon thread, so thought I would ask on here.
I'm considering a wide angle prime for the D810 and looking at some reviews, the Nikon 24mm 1.8G is coming out very well with the scores, anyone using this lens? ...Also, the 20mm & 28mm 1.8G lenses. I would prefer to use G lenses rather than the Sigma ART's, for the weight benefits. But if anyone has experience with the G lenses and ART's I won't completely rule them out.
I have a very similar shot somewhere!
Hit me up next time you go, still got unfinished business there with astro stuffI can imagine there are hundreds out there mate. I have a bit of a love, hate thing with Dungeness
But this trip I really wanted to have a go at some astro. Poxy weather put a stop to that ...

@Swanseajack i use the 20mm 1.8g so if you have any questions/want me to take some shots let me know.
What will you be shooting? I love my 20mm art. All my recent wide is shot on it, and can produce nice bokeh too.
to that if you want to make the numbers up.

Thanks for the replies gents, the lens will mostly be used for some sea/land scapes and a general lightweight option.
I had planned on the 20mm, but the 24mm got me interested after reading some reviews. Although I don't usually pay much interest and prefer user reviews, ideally of here, but the 24mm is the highest scoring on DXO for the D810 at 41 and 30mp sharpness.
Are absolute beginners in Astros allowed ?More the merrier
Let's do it then a TP D750 Dungeness Astro meet?
I don't look into scores etc so no idea what that means, but I've been left wanting more sharpness wise on the 20mm. A fantastic light weight prime and ideal for astro too. For me 24mm wasn't a big enough gap form my 35mm.
That's very nice Paul, really like the impact the high contrast gives and the sky.
"Wish I'd known you were going to those parts we could have met up. When I'm in the UK I only live a short distance from there at "Stone" (Appledore)".

I don't usually look at scores, I try to look on here, Flickr etc... for actual user use of the lens. But there doesn't seem much from long time users even on Flickr for the 24mm. I had planned on the 20mm but I have a little niggle in mind it will be too wide for me??? Then again , 20mm, 35mm & 50mm would be a nice set up for me.

I haven`t got a clue, but figured it`ll be pretty dark there.Of course, as I'm going!
A fast 20mm might give you issues for land/sea scapes, due to dof. The sigma maxes out at f16. I got it mainly for city stuff and the odd quirky shot that I tend to attempt. I still can`t do landscapes, no matter how much I try :banghead:
The missus and daughter have been doing these too! How strange.
Me and my daughter have been pocketing pebbles off the beach for years so she can do this. Always a heavy walk home
Fingers crossed for some dead fish for you then.
