I hope it meets your expectations and proves an excellent, satisfying to use camera for you.Both arrived today. D850 and Zeiss ZF.2 28mm lens ...
YES (congrats too to Doug!)...I'm already on my way to the "Fun with Nikon" thread..waiting impatiently, and on all the other 850 owners too...Congrats Doug! Now POST SOME PICS WITH IT!!!
The design of this plate has changed compared to the RRS L-Plate/Bracket for e.g. D800. While this came as a single piece the new L-Plate for the D850 comes in two pieces. The perpendicular part/arm slides in the bottom plate and can be fixed by an additional screw (allen key fixed by magnet in the bottom plate) while the latter stays fixed. Furthermore the perpendicular arm can be fixed by a screw in the camera's top left eyelet which gives reasonable stability.... Maybe RRS improved their design for the D850?
Doug, do you process with C1 or LR or Capture? Were you using any filters? I ask because I see what appear to be slightly odd color/saturation transitions in some of the skies...Managed to get a couple tonight in Joshua Tree NP which is only a 20 minute drive from my house.First two.

I just upgraded my C! and reprocessed the files. So much better with C1. So have another look.Doug, do you process with C1 or LR or Capture? Were you using any filters? I ask because I see what appear to be slightly odd color/saturation transitions in some of the skies...
ACR first time I am not very familiar with ACR have been using C! for yearsJust curious, what were you using before? Definitely look better now.
Paul, all due respect I've NEVER had that issue, and in fact find C1 to pull more fine detail out of a file than any other program. Of course it requires you properly set the sharpening and noise sliders!C1 seems to have a problem pulling out the finer details on distant objects like fall leaves.

What do you have your color and luminosity NR set at for your chosen ISO? For low ISO images, try color at 0-25, luminance at 0-35 and detail at 40-60. With the smaller pixels, you'll need to dial them down from what you used on the 810. Not sure what needs to be done with capture sharpening until I get a good D850 file of my own to work with. Finally, I've noted your style tends towards more heavily saturated, so for detail your color NR setting becomes much more critical.Hi Jack,
I agree, normally C1 seems to always pull more details. However on the images I took this fall, I was disappointed in the finer details in some of the colors. C1 vs ACR/LR, might be my settings, not sure.
However since many of my shots are panos, I have to pretty much default to ACR now, as I feel that creation of a multi segment pano with a lot of DR range works best from raws not tiff, and C1 just has no real solution.
So far I only see this on the D850 images, not my d810 or P1 back shots.
