Good evening,
After more than 6.5 months of patiently waiting, Mr. Brown will be bringing my D800E to my doorstep tomorrow morning before 10:30!
I have always been a sharpness nut since my days using 35mm Leica and 8x10 view cameras in the United States Army Signal Corps.
I subscribe to the Ansel Adams practice of always using a tripod whenever possible. I still use a tripod with my 35mm DSLR cameras.
My favorite focal lengths are 24mm, 35mm and 85-100mm.
Currently, I have Canon, Nikon and A Sony A900.
I am not very impressed with any of the Canon and Nikon zooms except the Nikon 14-24mm. The Zeiss 24-70 Sony A has a terrible wobble in the zoom barrel which I can not believe passed quality control.
I would like to purchase a 35mm prime and need suggestions on this lens.
I have a old 60mm f2.8 Nikkor circa 2001. Would this lens work well on the D800E?
I also have the 85mm PC Nikkor and 100mm Leica-R Macro Elmarit from 2005.
Does anyone have experience with these two optics?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Mike
