  • Field tests for the Nikon 180-400mm f/4 TC 1.4

    Field tests for the Nikon 180-400mm f/4 TC 1.4

    If you consider buying an expensive lens like the $12,000 Nikon 180-400mm f/4 TC 1.4, you will find useful to read actual field tests (and not only the usual read-the-specs reviews that most web sites will provide). So, I found to welcome field tests that I’d like to recommend: Petapixel’s A Field Test of the…

  • Nikon to repair D600 for free (update)

    …but in the US only, for now. It seems that the wide availability of the Nikon D610 (and its improved shutter mechanism able to reduce dust/pollution levels to normal) makes Nikon able to extend the replacement of faulty shutter mechanisms in all D600. Customers just have to ask. This is right in the US, but…

    Nikon D4 User Manual

    Like many people, when you prepare to buy an expensive camera like the Nikon D4, you’d prefer to go (even quickly) through the User Manual. However, this has always been difficult without the assistance of a Nikon representative or… the help of YLovePhoto. Here are a few links to on-line copies of the Nikon D4…

    Nikon 800mm f/5.6 E FL ED VR: new, big, black

Starting in January 2013, they offer a monster of a lens, the Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 E FL ED VR. It’s a monster of price (18,000 USD list price, but slightly better at B&H or…

    Sigma (upcoming) 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM

    It’s hard to be sure of the details on this new lens from Sigma, since they announced that there is a delay (it will not be available this month – in March 2013). The only useful thing I would like to point to the significant items in the spec list: Dust-proof and splash-proof construction High…

  • D800: Latest bug: Lock-up

    PDN found a problem with the Nikon D4 and D800 while testing these. It seems that there are situations where the camera will lock up when the camera is used with either Highlights or histogram display. Simply disabling these features will avoid this ugly lock-up (even if it is easy to restore normal operation by…
