Thanks Doug,

great examples of lenses. The grill and polishing man are massive camera shake for sure. I think ISO 640 is useable as you suggested, 320 is more than ok.

Really appreciate the examples i hope to give back also when i start shooting.

Hahah yes the M is lovely if what you shoot can be captured by the manual focus or pre set focus.

I have access to an S2 at a no brainer price, not as no brainer as the D800E and that would certainly be a back up given I use Pentax lenses on the Nikon now. I was quite shocked at the lack of DR.

Thanks for all the support I am now wondering what the…[Read more]

Thanks for the input guys.

I guess the thing I keep reading is S is not MF it's just 35mm on steroids.

Will I see the quality difference from a D800?

I have the Pentax 67 45mm 100 macro 165 f2.8 and the 300mm so great news on the testing. Thanks for input keep it coming.

I guess that the form factor and style of the S makes…[Read more]
