Upcoming reviews

I'm now field testing the Nikon manual focus Nikkor 35mm f1.4 AI-S, and the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 AI-S. The 35mm f/1.4 is the next review that's due. There will be some time before the 400mm is ready for a review as I need to test the lens waaaay more before I can give it any verdict.

Nikon D90 Review is out

Just added Nikon D90 Review

A quick quote from the review "If you have ever used a Nikon Dslr in the past, you will be up and shooting pictures in a second and never look back. If you haven't used a Nikon camera in the past or if you have moved from another brand, you will also be up and shooting in a second. Digging through the menus you can really unlock all the power of the D90. I find that the Jpeg files straight from the camera are a bit soft, and lacks a bit of contrast. This can all be fixed easily with the Picture control settings."

Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF Review


Added  Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF Review
As always there is full resolution sample images available for download. Just click the link above for the complete review and the sample images.
Quite a remarkable lens, the performance is almost at the top of the line. The Bokeh of the lens is stunning, and is close to the Bokeh of the Noct-Nikkor. If you are a portrait photographer this lens should be in your kit. 

Nikon Updates

Well finally Nikon is doing something right. Maybe they realized that having the best cameras is only 30% of the job. Nikon just released some new lenses, and this seems to just be the beginning Quote: "We intend to expand and strengthen the NIKKOR lineup with the steady release of new, high-performance lenses compatible with the FX format." This is indeed about time. Of course there are several lenses, and more equipment that is still missing. But more about that in another post.

The lenses that were unveiled are:
