Plus de détails pour le problème de focus de Ming Thein

Pas très encourageant tout ça. Je vous conseille de lire la partie objectifs. Je suis d'un côté content de voir que mon 24-70 et le 70-200 sont excellents mais un peu moins pour le 14-24.


I spent the morning at Nikon. Ostensibly, to collect my replacement D800, and a PC-E 85/2.8 Micro. However, it turns out the replacement D800 exhibits the SAME autofocus issue.

There were more surprises in store, though – specifically, with lenses.

AFS 14-24/2.8 G: Not good at 14mm
AFS 24-70/2.8 G: Sharp everywhere in the range
AFS 70-200/2.8 G VR II: Sharp everywhere in the range, at every aperture.
AFS 85/1.4 G: Inconsistent.
AFS 35/1.4 G: No good wide open.
AFS 85/1.8 G: Incredible. 

If you plan on getting the most out of your D800/D800E, you’re going to have to rethink your lens lineup.
I think this latest push in resolution has brought up manufacturing tolerance and QC issues that were never previously noticeable.

It’s not ideal, but when you get everything right, the D800 is capable of delivering pretty darn amazing image quality. The trouble is, once you’ve seen it, you really don’t want to give it up – even if it is a colossal pain to achieve. Of course, none of this will be news to seasoned medium or large format shooters – but for anybody expecting to go from a DX consumer body, or even 12MP FX, to D800 and get pixel-level crispness across the frame, there’s going to be something of a steep learning curve to climb.

Venant d'un DX, il commence à me faire peur ;-)
