To me the Buachaille Etive Mor is the perfect mountain, both Photographically and atheistically, it sits at the entrance to both Glencoe and Glen Etive. on this beautiful early morning, I waited for the rising Sun to strike the Summit.© DOUGLAS RITCHIE

My new favorite ultra wide lens is the Irix 15mm 2.4 it is fantastically sharp on a Nikon D810 very little distortion almost no softening till you go beyond f14. This is Zeiss quality for a third of the price and the build quality is superb.

A beautiful evening near Portencross castle looking towards the Isle of Arran. -
<p>Hi,</p> <p>Just wondering if anyone else has this lens yet and what your thoughts on it are.<br> I got one several weeks ago for my Nikon D810 and find it very sharp and from f4 onwards edge to edge as well.<br> There are very few test reports yet.</p>

70-200mm f/4 - saves me weight but what else do I lose out on?
Caledonia replied to Matthew Brennan's topic in Nikon
<p>The Nikon 70-200 f4 is a marvelous lens,very sharp,even wide open and the vr is superb.<br> I have used the lens since it came out on both a D800 and D810,if I lost it or damaged it,I would replace it again without hesitation.</p> -
<p>Hi Andrew,</p> <p>I have had the Tamron since it came out and use it on a Nikon D800/810m and it is superb, I recently had an accident with it and immediately replaced it with the same lens,for the money it is excellent,nice contrast and very sharp.</p>

<p>I agree with most of the replies, having had a D800 since it came out and also for the last 14 months the D810,you do have to work differently on your Raws. But once you get set up correctly with your processing your images will astound you every time. The 810 is a wonderful camera and definitely the best Nikon yet for Landscape images.<br> You will be able to get outstanding 30"x40" prints from the camera, spend time tweaking your camera body and put the time in on your Raw images, I definitely find the latest Adobe raw much better for the Nikon files,also using DXO optics pro 10 and getting amazingly detailed and sharp images. </p>

Delightful image,lovely light and processing, well worth a 20"x30"print. -
The wonderful and remote Blackmount in Scotland's southern Highlands with the early warm light lighting up the mountains. -

<p>As Rodeo Joe mentioned the Tamron 24-70 2.8 is one of the few lenses that I haven't needed to apply AF fine tuning,whereas I have had to do some slight focus tuning with all my Nikon's.</p>

I got down low below the banking to catch the Sun's glow,got 2 shots and it was gone. -

<p>Hi, This is no surprise at all, I have had the Tamron for about 18months using it with the D800 and D810 and the results are fantastic, I find it bitingly sharp and excellent contrast, with terrific VC at least as good as anything Nikon has.<br> Nikon will need to up their game with the latest Tamron and Sigma Art lenses at least as good and in some cases bettering them.</p>
