Hi 'Oamkumar'
interesting that you are trying to upgrade from the D800e to MFD
i have a few questions - and since i'm also based in India - i will find your answers very relevant:
1. forget the import problem - who in India is going to give you the dealership support?
even a casual perusal of the posts on this forum will show you that MFD needs a dealer (and close proximity to repair/service centre) - just one example of why MF manufacturers too think this important - the warranty terms include a loaner back) are you willing to live weeks without your MFD while its couriered across to europe, if you need service?
2. I notice from your previous posts that you've done a comparison of - quote " a in studio test with D800e with new phase one IQ250, haselblad h4d-40, leaf aptus 80mp and 5d Mark III. And the lenses were normal lenses" unquote -
do you really think a 40mp MFD will enhance your image quality?
btw - in that test you used a Nikkor 50/1.8D on D800e ... try the test again with a Zeiss, even the 50/2 Makro, if not the Otus
3. my own professional experience shows that the output-printing quality in India is so "variable" (am trying to be politically correct here) that it robs all of the minute differences in colour & tonal gradation that we work so hard to capture
now - instead of that small 40 MP back .. if you were looking at the 80mp backs .. my questions would be different..
