last year I went to Iceland I packed my tripod and monopod in checked luggage, D800, Nikon 24-70 f2.8g, Zeiss Milvus 2/100m in overhead in lower backpack, but most of the time I used my iPhone Xs

<p>no, but I want to see a comparison of the Tamron and the Sigma 12-24 f4 art</p>

<p>yes, get that lens and the TC-20E III too</p>

<p>is there any software that will preserve BW raw images, rather than convert to color; for MAC? thank you</p>

<p>yes, Oliver, I want to know about the split focus feature available in live view on the D810 and D5; <br>

'It is used more for levelling than focusing, though' - precisely what I assumed from the limited material offered by Nikon,so I want to know if anyone has used it, if it was helpful, and how to use it.</p>

<p>yes, the feature on the D810 and D5; how is it useful and how does it work?</p>

<p>has anyone ever used split screen focusing?</p>

<p>have you ever used shadows and highlights in photoshop -> image->adjustments; and you can edit->fade shadows and highlights to change opacity and blending mode</p>

<p>nurse with wound soliloquy for Lilith </p>

<p>thank you all, that had to be the case,since all the pixels lined up in both modes , as 28 mm and "virtual" 42mm.</p>

<p>for example, should i expect the same image quality from my 28 mm 1.8 G on D800 in FX image area as in DX image area? OR, is DX image area really just a "cut out" of the FX sensor?</p>

<p>if #4, then replace collar with either Kirk or Really Right Stuff collar.</p>

<p>yes,Andrew i noticed that when i took a few shots of a door correction off and on w/ 28mm f1.8, i wiil post later this week, after i get a good frame reference for comparison; the short of it is -- in camera correction appears to shift the subject, which is not surprising, but i have no quantitative evidence to supply now</p>

<p>yes, Andy on a d300, but on d800 it works fine -- and its short comings are readily exposed; Wouter, i am not insulted, i am interested in a wide angle zoom to replace it, the 18-35 is cheaper than tokina 16-28 and has higher resolution (DXO); my 28 f1.8 is not wide enough in all situations, and the tokina 16-28 , like the 14-24 f2,8, does not allow filters, plus i have a good set of 77mm filters</p>

<p>18-35 looks good thank you</p>

<p>by the way for d800</p>

<p>so,i want to replace my 17-55 dx: my 2 top choices are 1. 14-24f2.8, and 2. 16-35f4; help, please.</p>

<p>is the 24-70 really that good, or just a status symbol?</p>

<p>Ellis, that is my thinking too, since acr, Dxo,etc. use a database of camera profiles, so I'll try a few scenes with and without and see if i tell any difference; mainly i wanted to determine if in camera distortion correction produced any cropping</p>

<p>How does the in camera lens distortion correction, d800, actually work, and how does it affect image?</p>

<p>raw files are essentially digital negatives from the camera's sensor ; raw converters, and there are many will convert raw to other formats, and may allow various levels of development on raw files; try a web search for raw converters appropriate for your camera, and download some trial versions, play and determine which you like, and so on. nikon view nx2, a free download, allows you to view raw files, has some minimum editing/development capabilities; and, allows batch conversion to jpeg.<br>

xmp files contain image metadata, including development settings,which can be deleted if you do not wish to keep those settings</p>

<p>try running program as administrator</p>

<p>histograms would be helpful; also what color space is your camera set to,and what color space are acr,and vnx2 using,and since you stated the photos were taken with flash, is that the white balance setting?</p>

<p>what do the curves look like</p>

<p>elliot, that was my impression too, and technically correct , but , whereas, the auto crop works perfectly, there are issues -- in spring i took a series of photos with 17-55 and d800, where fallen leaves were still on ground and bronze in color, the leaves in the image looked like they were painted and scalloped, no amount of ps could overcome that. thank you<br>

mary the new 24-85 is high on my list right now, it is not 2.8, but that is not a concern, my 300mm f4 is more than i had hoped -- epic; as is the 28mm 1.8, thank you, later this year, iwill spring for 24-70 or 24-120.</p>
