    Born in Athens,Greece in 1949.Studied Electrical and Mechanical Eng.at the National Technical University of Athens.Amateur photographer since 1967.Also,involved in amateur film making.I hope to learn all the secrets of these arts in my next life-:

     

    But what is photography?An art or just a frame of reality?Reality or a reproduction of the photographer's point of view?Is it fake or just an illusion?How many grey tones for the optimum capture?How many colours? B&W or coloured? Analogue or digital?And so on...Who cares!You just enjoy it or you don't.You like it or you don't.They like it or they don't.Some like it,some don't.Who likes it and who doesn't?Why like it and why not?The answer is simple or is it not...?Why not?

    Burning red.

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I know the difficulties, but I still have problem when I try to shoot red flower with D300. Though I shoot 1-1,3 stops under red color is still burned. Any help ?</p>

    Which Nikon DSLR will I be the most pleased with?

    <p>Too many very good and almost excellent photographers use old models like D70, D70s and D100 shooting little masterpieces. So get a low budget camera/lens and many books about photography and digital photos. Then go on shooting as most as possible.<br /> <br /> THE EYE BEHIND THE CAMERA IS THE SOLUTION, NOT THE CAM IT SELF.</p>

    <p>Dear Matt,<br>

    I already mentioned that I own 17-55/2.8 and you must know that I own 70-200/1.8 also. So I know what do you mean saying "If you handle both lenses...". But I want just a light and very good lens.<br>

    You are right about bokeh but with the use of PS that's a minor problem.</p>

    <p>Dear friends, as far as I can trust photozone .<br /> <!-- [if !supportLists]-->1) <!-- [endif]-->“ The lens shows barrel <strong>distortions</strong> at around 1.7%, certainly more than one would expect from a prime lens in this focal range”, same comment and test for both lenses.</p>

    <h4>Vignetting</h4>

    <p><!-- [if !supportLists]-->2) <!-- [endif]-->Dedicated DX lenses usually suffer from higher vignetting (compared to FX glass on the same camera) and one would especially expect this behaviour from a fast lens. However, the AF-S DX 35 wide open only shows moderate vignetting which is reduced to a not field relevant level by f/4 and beyond.<br /> <!-- [if !supportLists]-->3) <!-- [endif]-->The Sigma shows a fairly unusual vignetting characteristic (which also showed up in the test of the Canon variant of the lens) - normally the vignetting curve is logarithmic (steep drop in the beginning followed by moderate fading) whereas the curve of the Sigma shows a quite linear behavior. This isn't really favorable because it takes a couple of f-stops till the vignetting reaches really low values. At wide-open aperture the issue is quite pronounced (1EV) and even at f/2.8 it is not much better. The vignetting is no longer field-relevant from about f/5.6. Vignetting is not disturbing in all situations but other lenses perform better here.</p>

    <h4>MTF (resolution)</h4>

    <p><!-- [if !supportLists]-->4) <!-- [endif]-->Sigma is a little bit better in the centre but worst in the borders.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <h4>Chromatic Aberrations (CAs)</h4>

    <p><!-- [if !supportLists]-->5) <!-- [endif]--><strong>Sigma </strong> . The degree of lateral chromatic aberrations (color shadows at harsh contrast transitions) is acceptable for a 30mm lens but nothing to rave about either. CAs with an average width around ~1.2px at the image borders can be visible at times.<br /> <!-- [if !supportLists]-->6) <!-- [endif]--><strong> Nikon. </strong> Chromatic aberrations (color shadows at harsh contrast transitions) are moderate wide open, but rather high for the rest of the aperture range. This is a somewhat disappointing behaviour, however lateral CAs (unlike LoCAs, see below) can easily corrected in post processing and most newer Nikon DSLRs already do this on their own (as well as most of the current RAW converters).<br /> <strong>If you compare the measurements Nikon is better at f1.8 and almost the same at f/2. </strong> 8-4. Finally Sigma is a bit better at f/5.6-8.</p>

    <p><strong>So I prefer Nikon by any way.</strong></p>
