My girlfriend's mom just purchased a D800 and I had a chance to shoot with it over the holiday weekend. I'm not in love with it yet, but it at least has me looking twice at the 5DIII I just picked up.

MissSheGrrl posted:Hmm, yah that may not be ideal for me at the moment. Do camera shops ever allow you to try out lenses before buying if you bring in your own body? Obviously this may be up to individual shops but I'm curious if this is a common thing. That's the only positive thing I can say about my LCS though.

Being a Canon user, I think I finally understand why my girlfriend's mom still thinks crop factor is a thing with her D800: because it can be.  I was asked to tag along to take photos for their holiday greeting cards and to shoot with her D800. Having basically never used, troubleshooted, or shopped for Nikon gear, I didn't even realize you could still use crop glass on a full-frame Nikon body. She's still using the kit lens from like her old D90 or something so I was a bit confused at first by the massive vignetting and how to frame the shot in the viewfinder. I didn't bother to bring the topic up, or the $10 UV filter she had affixed to the front of the lens, or that she seems to shoot in JPEG all the time. If she's happy with her shots and making money off of her photography side-business, then more power to her.  At least now I understand why she keeps trying to apply crop factor math every time she looks at my Canon full-frame glass.

Musket posted:Heavy Vingetting on a D800 with a 18-55 G kitlens? I guess in her head all digital SLRs have a crop factor -- end of discussion. I suppose that was true of consumer bodies around 10 years ago, but times have changed. It's odd to me that she owns a D800 and doesn't understand sensor size. She was probably just drawn to 36 MEGAPIXELS!!! Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Dec 5, 2013 |

Also she wants to switch to Leica now, so that should be interesting.
