Here's a few non-kitty pics...

Taken at the SEA Aquarium with a Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye.... but defished.

sharing one myself…

So probably can focus on other type of pictures which are non-high ISO...

What do you want ? Portrait ?
These studio shots were taken using my new Nikon Df at low ISO.

Yes, with proper defishing, a Fisheye is a good super light and small alternative to an ultra wide angle lens.

Just curious, is there any softness, particularly in the edges?

It is actually sharper at the edges in the defished images as compared to fisheyed ones most of the time because all the curved lines are converted into shorter straight ones and also because the image would be slightly cropped at the edge after defishing.

Also removing the vignette on the corner as well, at the same time.

My test shots with Df High ISO.
I'll shoot in either A or M mode with Auto ISO till Hi3 with base iso of L1(iso 50).
The photos are processed with adobe lightroom 5.3 using NEF and just export them for resize the height of photo to 1080pixel.

Hi2

Hi3

This is just taken handheld without tripod with the camera.
ISO 12800

Thanks for sharing. So now it is double confirmed that at High ISO up to Hi2 (51,200), it is still usable for common use.
Well done Nikon Df ! :thumbsup:

At ISO Hi3 (102,400), it may require further post processing to remove the noise and recover the detail on the same time.

Here are somemore fresh from the oven, taken just within minutes after midnight. (all taken handheld)

2 Fireworks that can be seen from far.

Lastly our famous CBD scape with lights reflected from the bursts of fireworks at MBS area but the smoke from the left starts to move in.

You can buy the new Nikon flash Sb-300 for your Df.
The size is quite compact, compared with its elder brothers.
