That's a lot to spend on a sensor cleaning, especially when I can take it to a repair center for a professional cleaning in a dustfree environment for not that much more.

I got an old 28-85 3.5-4.5 macro for $40 including shipping from KEH, that seems like a much better buy to me. Condition was listed as BGN but the glass is clean and there were just some scratches on the zoom barrel (all metal construction). If you can find one of those you should get it instead, because it's a cheap and awesome walkaround lens.

Paul MaudDib posted:For the record you shouldn't do part-steps. Most camera systems can't actually vary the sensor continuously, only in single-stop steps, so 1000 is really "ISO 1600 pulled 2/3 stop" with all the noise that entails. Isn't this true for every ISO that isn't the base ISO? So if you have a camera that's base ISO is 160 and you shoot at 1600, it just pushes the RAW by 3 1/3 stops?

Might as well get a BMCC at that point and shoot raw video (or ProRes)

 in raw mode video is recorded into folders containing individual DNG frames, take your stills from there Also the main shortcoming for this camera is battery life, and this is remedied with external battery packs. And no F-mount option isn't a shortcoming unless we're saying every Canon shooter out there is dealing with a serious shortcoming.

If you have a 5Dmk3 you might just bypass the BMCC and just do Magic Lantern raw, but workflow is going to be so much easier on the BMCC. Also the BMCC has the same DR as the D800, the 5D falls short by quite a bit. OR just save and buy a house and be a responsible adult instead of a creative professional

So I guess Nikon is releasing a D610...I can't for the life of me tell what's actually different about it from the D600.

Yeah I'm not stoked about the D600 losing value on the used market barely a year after it was released. The dust and oil problems suck, but a sensor cleaning takes care of that poo poo. It just seems weird to release a new model so soon.

Goddammit, my D600 just died in the middle of shooting some video. It turns on bit displays the ERR code and I can't get into live view; the mirror is stuck and won't go back down. Any ideas for troubleshooting before I send this off for repair?

I'm not sure who this camera is marketed to but $3k is pretty laughable. Yeah you'd get a much better value by going with a D800.

This is also why you should shoot in raw though, because the camera can process and export a JPG.

I had the same thing happen to me while using the 35 f2 D lens. Took me forever to figure out that a shutter press would fix it. Worst part was, it happened while recording video and it didn't even finish the recording, so I had to immediately reshoot with my backup Canon Rebel.

Delivery McGee posted:The big dials for shutter speed and ISO are so ridiculous, I love it. :v How do you set the aperture, though? Use an old/high-end lens, or is that what the knob on the front face does? The camera has the standard Nikon controls on the back including a command dial which I assume will be the aperture control since shutter speed already has it's own retro-style dial on top.

The only thing I don't like about those dials is that they look so clunky. Here's what the dials look like on the FE:  Much nicer looking.

HPL posted:And every so often, you'll think you have a full card, but when you plug it in to your computer, the card is empty because you didn't insert the card into the camera just so. One of the guys in the cinematography thread was telling us about how they used to haze new people by telling them they had to replace REDMAGs inside a film changing tent or else it wouldn't record video properly

lmao the oil thing was annoying but you could either take it in for multiple cleanings, or just use it for like 2-5k actuations after which time most of the oil is gone and THEN clean it.

404notfound posted:Clutching onto the F-mount makes things inconvenient for the entry-level Nikon bodies, but it's nice being able to mount pretty much any old-rear end Nikon lens to my D7000 and expect it to work flawlessly. Yeah I got an EX grade Tokina 80-200 2.8 from KEH for $180 and so far it owns. I'll be testing it out today, but so far it seems to be decently sharp and the AF isn't awful. Not as good as an AF-S lens, but where else am I going to find a telephoto zoom at 2.8 for that price?

I have a D600 with just around 10k clicks on it, one wet sensor clean and it's pretty much oil free these days (there's one single spot that shows up past f11 on most of my lenses if I set it to infinity focus, but otherwise it's fine). At the prices the D600 is going for these days, it is well worth the price even if you have to take it in for cleaning.

In addition, his "crappy superzoom is just as sharp as this 24-70 and is cheaper and lighter therefore don't buy the 24-70" is sooo misleading and his example photos suck real bad and are useless for the basis of comparison.

If you want a cheap zoom (and have a body that can drive a screw AF lens) find a Tokina 80-200 2.8 (non-pro). Not as sharp as the newer AF-S 70-200's but not too shabby either. I got one on KEH for $180.

I want to reiterate everyone's love for the 1.8D as long as you have a body with the AF motor. It's a great cheapo 50 compared to Canon's shitbox 50 1.8.
