Re: Nikon D750 - what do you think

Thank you for your input yerbol, much appreciated. It's been a busy time and I forgot to update this thread. Things took a turn for the better, as a pro photographer wanted to change from Nikon to Canon. The result was a D850 for a third of the original price (Shuttercount 29.000 shots) - I could no...

Re: Heat haze, Blurry, Oversharpened??

I am very disappointed with the screening system because you guys sometimes just let those terrible photos pass the screening but very picky on those decent photos.

Re: Nikon D750 - what do you think

Thanks Daniel, for sharing your thoughts and experience with the D750. Nice shots by the way!

The D780 price is a little to much at the moment - actually a second hand D850 is about 400 USD cheaper in Denmark now.

Nikon D750 - what do you think

I would appreciate your thoughts on this, please: The D850 is very tempting, and very expensive. I was thinking about the D750 as an alternative, as the prices on used samples are quite attractive. All my lenses are FX and the main camera now is a D500 (The Z7 was sold as I was very unhappy with it)...

Re: Pre-screening Rene Wendt

Well, one of them was a new reg.number which made it to the database - don't know about the other one yet. What do you think about this one? I like the light, but the Z7 did not provide me with the best starting point. The size is perhaps a bit optimistic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wendt_image/4...

Re: Question about sharpening

I convert the image to a smart-object and use a smart-filter (high pass) for sharpening. As CPD wrote, save it as a PSD file - it is so easy to correct a rejected image that way. I have the same issue as Silver mentioned: My monitor show the image crisp and sharp, but sometimes it is seen as soft. J...

Something like this? I don't think it is possible to push the exposure further than that.
It still need CW rotation.

It looks like the Nikon 70-200 mm is a good choice.
I have read a few reviews that found the lens to be sharp in the middle but somewhat unsharp towards the edges. Anything you have noted?

The blue cast should be fixable together with a less saturation.
