Introduction Third test series is with the D800. The Pixelmonster. Allows easily to crop to the D2x resolution from a 400mm picture. However, the camera is slow in picture rate and not as well handled as the D3. I mainly use it for landscapes and general photography. However, bird shots are quite nice as it allows […]

Introduction Second test series is with the D3. I used this camera for all pictures I shot during the Masai Mara trip using the Nikkor 200-400. Incredible results with that combination. Very good at higher ISO and also very high picture rate (you hardly miss a frame). The handling is outstanding. The full pictures The Nikkor […]

Introduction First test series is with the D2x. My normally used Crop-Camera. Unfortunately Nikon does not build semi-professional crop-cameras anymore. A modern 16Mpix crop-camera with either D2x or at least D300s body would be something I’d definitely would buy. The D7100 which I had for some months was good but the sensor did have too […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 & Tamron 150-600 (Part 1)
Finally received my Sigma 150-600 Sport this week. Weather was ok to run a Test with the three Telelenses on all my used cameras. Cameras used were D2x, D3 and D800. All three lenses were tested with each camera. The target was a selfmade board having a printed testchart, a small plastic puppet and a […]

Birds in the backyard
Some shots using the D2x with Nikkor 200-400f4 plus TC-17II. Mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Wimberley WH200. For the first time the European Robin came somewhat to the front. Normally that little bird is always staying behind the branches. Unfortunately the snow we had in the morning was nearly gone.
Cuxhaven Kugelbake
Einige Bilder in den Morgenstunden am Wahrzeichen Kugelbake. Kalt, aber nicht ganz klare Sicht, noch etwas Staub. Mit der Nikon D3 mit dem Sigma 15-30 auf Feisol Stativ mit Arca D4 Kopf.
Sturmtief Felix
Sturmfront Felix hat Cuxhaven nicht hart getroffen. Nur etwas mehr Wasser bei Hochwasser am Samstag. Gelegenheit für den ersten Test mit dem kürzlich gekauften Sigma 15-30. Einige Bilder von Felix beeinflussten Wochenende hier, mehr in der SmugMug-Galerie… Obwohl die Qualität, besonders in den Ecken, nicht mit dem Walimex 14mm mithalten kann, bietet es selbst an […]
