Sigma 50 1.4 for sure. Great Image Quality.. choose the right f. and you will get consistently great results.

As I originally said, I was given the following AIs optics with an F3 from my uncle: 50mm 1.4 28mm 2.8 180mm 2.8 ED Judging by their bright apertures, I think it's worthwhile using them. They mean alot to me. I do alot of landscape work, so no AF is no problem. I grew up with manual...

I would love to try, although I haven't got a Nikon dslr. I was simply wondering whether the lenses I received would work with a future purchase, I thought someone in this forum may have first hand experience, since I am unable to conclude for myself.

Does anybody have any experience using Manual Focus AI, and AIs optics on FX dslrs? I've been gifted a few AI and AIs optics and was wondering whether they'd work well enough on digital bodies like the D3, D700 etc. I've searched the web, and numerous sites say they'll work with the metering...

I'd say a photographer's dream is to continue taking images - irrespective of the hardware/ format/ capture technologies. I think we all need to remember that we are not camera salespersons, and currently people seem, in my opinion, to be too concerned with gear.

Hi All. I've just uncovered a Polaroid Land Camera 1000 in my grandfather's house. It seems to be in good order, and I would like to get some film for it. Its a model where the film cartridge had a battery in it to run the camera. Does anybody know where I could possibly get some...

What makes you say that? Just because I have only posted 4 times (this being the fifth) in this particular forum? Does the name Takachiho Seisakusho mean anything to you? If it's a new lens mount... it's a new standard! An adaptor will be required for use of True Four Thirds lenses...

I'm not sure, but does the smaller lens mount etc. mean a smaller sensor as well? Olympus/Panasonic must be confident of advancements in shrinking photosites, and their effects on image quality. The problem I can envisage is unintentionally cutting off original four thirds format...

I agree Olyflyer! I'm a four thirds user too! The term "full frame" is in itself troubling.

I have a question for S5 Pro owners: What is the resolution of the Fuji S5 Pro's CCD-RAW files? 6 or 12 MP?

Is it just me, or are most full frame advocates just APS-C owners anyway? I'm not too sure, but wouldn't the purchase of a full frame digital slr also require the ownership of compatible lenses? - the D3's FX to DX automatic size selection when one attaches a DX format lens cannot be...
