Some people claim that old, obsolete crop sensor cameras can still be used for photography. Nonsense says I! Big, heavy millstones that can't even get the background sharp! Just look at this photo from earlier today... also, she seems to have only one earring. Those people at Nikon must really get their act together!

Same problem here; people in the background are seriously out of focus... or are they simply drunk? And look at those glasses! That's what happens when you shoot using a camera without 1/22,000,000 second electronic shutter!
D300 with 80-200 AF-S, no idea about focal length and aperture. I screwed up the firmware last night while trying to upgrade.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... there were cars there as well. Nothing major, just decorative items to make the girls look cuter

Every time I do this, I promise myself never to do it again, and if I do, be sure to carry something lightweight, like a little Panasonic of some kind, and not this made-of-stone D2Xs with the made-of-lead 80-200 AF-S attached to it, and dangling from the other shoulder, the D300 with the 300mm f/4, the old, carved-from-concrete AF version. And the bag with the Panasonic and some wider lenses and batteries and memory cards and... hey, I'm more than sixty now, and should spend my Saturdays and Sundays in the garden with a Campari or two, watching the children play.
Then I get home, looking at the files, 1,600 of them. Never mind those from the D300. Never liked that camera, although it's my most used ever. But the others, those from the granite D2Xs. When is the next race, I wonder. Should I get another D2Xs body?
I can't show you all the images I like. I try to make a few cent from all this suffering, so they go to the agencies, but I'll be going to races again, and I will for sure bring that Nikon and the large, heavy lens :lecture: :wtf:

:thumbup: first of all kudos for your nice captures, Jorgen
And yes, the D2Xs has always been sort of a mystery to me as well.
Its vibrant colors and crisp rendering reminds me so much of the typical rendering from CCD sensors despite actually being Nikon's first CMOS sensor based camera, if I recall correctly.
Could it be it has to do with the processor and its algorithms, profiles and firmware in general rather than the physical sensor ?
In any case I think the D2Xs will always remain a fascinating classic.

Ahhhh... the saturated copper greens of Velvia... Brings back memories!!! :clap:
Here is one of those memories from about 1990. Actually made with Velvia at ISO 40 in a Nikon 8008 and one of the early 24/2.8 af lenses. It was a double exposure, first exposure made at Sunset, then waited 2 hours for the sky to darken and full Moon to rise and exposed for 2 additional hours to fill. Then during that 2 hours, went into the casino with a small flashlight and selectively lit, the yellow CT emulating old oil lamps. That's how we did it in the old days folks! :ROTFL:
