Shun, I like your FE shot. How do you like using the 10.5mm on an FX body? Does the viewfinder mask off the DX

frame?

<p>Hi people in Nikon land,<br /> just wanted to visit as I've had a little bit of a chance to photograph a little of late. Nice photos as always & I hope all are doing well in their part of the planet. Lex I see a lot of on Facebook and that makes me happy. I spend too much time there supporting me nephew who works for them ;)<br /> My sister and her family where here for three weeks in August, at which time I had a chance to photograph the beauty of the family, my amazing older sister..... She likes extremes in B&W so that's what I give her. Though these will go from extreme to normal I'd say... She really wants them as extreme as the first one, but I think a variety is better for her to look at.... Still, I'm not a portrait photographer, but as long as my sister's happy with the result - that's all that matters to me.<br>

<br /> So here are three photos of my amazing older sister taken with the NIKON D800 paired with the 70-200mm f/2.8 (the old one) @ 190 mm, 1/3200, ISO 400 -1/3EV Center weighted metering in Aperture mode....<img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s8/v83/p1478425003-5.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Slightly less extreme NIKON D800, f/2.8 paired with the 70-200mm f/2.8 (the old one) @ 200 mm, 1/3200, ISO 400 -1/3EV Center weighted metering in Aperture mode....<br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s8/v0/p1478424961-5.jpg" alt="" width="850" height="567" /><br /> <br /> And finally NIKON D800 paired with the 70-200mm f/2.8 (the old one) f/2.8 @ 200 mm, 1/3200, ISO 400 -1/3EV Center weighted metering in Aperture mode....<br /> <br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s4/v10/p1478424975-5.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> I hope you have enjoyed :)</p>

<p>And my third and final submission. A blade of grass. D810 Tamron 90 mm macro f4 1/40s</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Tony, If it were just the camera I'd spring for a D810. Its all the glass that I need to go with it that stops me.</p>

<p>Thanks. That drums classroom is pretty small and is full of instruments (as you can see). The first time I photographed in there, I use the Sigma 35mm/f1.4 on FX and it was not wide enough, so this time I brought the 28mm/f1.8 AF-S and also took the 10.5mm DX fisheye along. That is the only fisheye lens I have and I didn't bother to bring a separate DX body.</p>

<p>When you mount the 10.5mm DX fisheye on FX, the view from the viewfinder is like a center circle on top of a rectangle. The lens projects an image that is just slightly larger than the DX frame, plus center crescents on top and bottom. In other words, there are a lot of dark areas around the edges of the viewfinder.</p>

<p>I cropped the earlier fisheye image quite a bit to make the girl occupy a more significant area in the frame. Here is the full DX frame uncropped. (Glad I only posted 2 images earlier so that I still have one left for this week. :-) )</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Shun. I have several DX lenses but I want to get an FX camera at some point. I guess I assume the DX lens on FX camera is not an optimal viewfinder situation. But if it is workable, then one of the 24mp + FX bodies could be a good compromise for me. </p>
