Edge85 for 2600mm Glory) I quickly recognized the importance of glass in the elements, as did many others. By switching to 35mm Prime and 85mm Prime (1.4) I realized I had everything I needed to take quality professional images. I take the 14-24 out from time to time because of the ultra-wide but large focal plane - it's great for tight spaces and star-capturing. Then I hit the 24 sec. Ultimately, I wanted as much manual control as possible with my cameras (D4, D800E), so the next logical step was to control perspective. And that, my friends, is the holy grail of "fun." Not only can you stitch panoramas together simply by panning, but because of the perspective control, you can also pan them so that the lines are straight from edge to edge, which is very noticeable. to something like 14-24. I can finally take pictures with solid lines from edge to edge, which opens the door to lots of creative shots, from simple things like fence posts in a row to great architecture/landscapes that you want to capture. to be precise. 4 stars because they could have done something different with the knobs to allow the D800-E to be mounted without first mounting on the D4 and rotating the lens to reverse the TILT to slide the lens properly on the body/ to lock. . It gets even more confusing when you can only rotate the glass to one side because the D800's hood holds the buttons on the 'opposite side' as you might be able to on the 'D4' where the gear knob can be on top. near the hood, not under the body. Attempting to loosen or tighten the shift lock nut while it is under the hood can also be difficult to get a grip on. Overall the glass is very clear and bright, it requires some basic understanding of controlling the lens to achieve the desired effect, which may require more patience than most "emotional objects". A tripod is highly recommended, but if you're really good at positioning that plane of focus and checking the magnified portion for focus, this is a possible lens to carry around. As well as the simple cartoon city qualities that people associate with this lens, its main function is to correct perspective, but the ability to shift the plane of focus gives you some amazing new possibilities. You can focus on rocks at sunset. With a traditional lens you'd have to stop down to F22 to make sure the rock is clear and a tree in the distance - but we all know what gets lost when you shoot at F22 - so for some this is a major turning point in my creatives Recordings. requires wider focus areas. All in all, for the elements that this optic has, and the possibilities, this is a 5 star lens. However, the sharpness of the lens should make a leap upwards. Focus sharpness at the position of the sensor - then Nikon needs to develop better glass to take advantage of that pixel density. It's frustrating to have such an arsenal of glasses and sensors only to see a lot of blur around the edges on the D800. So if it's going to be a pro lens, it needs to be up to par with the pro bodies it's mounted on.
