Good to see them flying again, they were meant to come over here to northern Ireland a couple of weeks ago but only 1 spitfire was flying.I went looking for sheep to photograph and had my afternoon disturbed by this pair. Had to crop as I'd taken the 70-200 out so it wouldn't feel so neglected. Typical.
When I lived on Norfolk, I too saw these fairly often, lovely sound and sight.I went looking for sheep to photograph and had my afternoon disturbed by this pair. Had to crop as I'd taken the 70-200 out so it wouldn't feel so neglected. Typical.
Must persevere with the 70-200/2.8 It's rather good for photographing sheep.
If it's affected they'll fix it for free, doesn't matter where you got it.
Did you ever check the focus point issue with it not being able to move it until a refocus?Well I've finally got around to checking my D750's serial number and mine's not affected
The standby/sleep time? Yeah, there's a setting to change it in the menu, by default it's 30s IIRC. I forgot about it until yesterday and did change it to 5 mins but haven't checked it yet
Interesting comparison of the AF points of the D850 vs the D810 and D750. Those far corner points would be extremely handy for me, especially as they're cross type vs line on my D750. Just need to wait for the price to come down about £2k now

I keep being drawn in by the 850...Posted this in the D850 thread but thought it could go here as well

It's only the price/lack of funds stopping meI keep being drawn in by the 850...
That is my pet hate with my D750 (and my D3s). Nikon just took the same focusing system out of their crop sensor cameras and shoved it in the full frame...with the resulting loss of coverage.Posted this in the D850 thread but thought it could go here as well

I just had to go find that episode to watch again.
Isn't it the other way around, don't they take the FF AF module and put it into the DX bodies? The last two AF systems have filtered down from the D4 and D5 to lower end FX and DX bodies. It's a physical limitation and DX will always have wider AF spread with reflex cameras due to the smaller sensor the AF module has to cover.
Know what you mean. I could get a D850 for £3k. Or a D810 + 70-200. Or a 750 + 24-70 + 70-200.It's only the price/lack of funds stopping me
Didn't they make DX bodies first? Then when they went "Full frame" they just transfered the AF module across.
Yes they made DX bodies first but they've not kept the same AF module all these years
And it's not exclusive to Nikon, look at Canon, Sony Alpha and whoever, comparative DX bodies have wider AF spread than FX. In fact Canon have just done what you've referred to, they've just put a DX AF module in their 6D Mark II which is very poor indeed. Look how narrow that AF spread is
I think it needs to be more than just MP to warrant the £2.5k difference between swapping your D750 for a D810 tbh. Even with all the other benefits I can't really justify the difference, but if I had the cash I'd do it anywayKnow what you mean. I could get a D850 for £3k. Or a D810 + 70-200.

I loved my old 750, but the I've got an itch for more pixels that needs to be scratched.
Yep it's a lot of money for sure. However, I'm of the frame of mind these days that if I can afford it and want it I'll get it, life's too short to miss out. I just can't afford it

Yeah you're right, but as I'm in the market for a new camera (having sold my 750 about 5months ago), I figured I'd go the whole hog.I think it needs to be more than just MP to warrant the £2.5k difference between swapping your D750 for a D810 tbh.

It difficult to justify a D850 over a D750 plus £2k worth of lenses. I wonder how long it'll take for the D850 to reduce in price? The 5D4's only lost a couple of hundred quid in the best part of a year so if the D850 decreases at a similar rate it will be a loooooooonnnnnnng time before it's within my budget

Do you have a second body? If so get the Sigma 35mm and 85mm art lenses. If you only have one body then I'd suggest a second body and the 35mm art, then use the 70-200mm for the longer shots.
This.
