Introduction Another game to start. Recently purchased D7200 looks promising from the specs. I had the D7100 before and annoying thing was the 24MPix sensor together with the telezooms and the buffer 0f 6 pictures which is ridiculous for shooting wildlife. The D7200 offers up to 18 pictures buffer with 12-Bit colour depth. That does […]

Photo post processing workflow and automation
Things have changed since I built my photo workflow. I recently purchased a Lexar Workflow hub device with 4 modules. This led me into revisiting the copy process from diverse cards on storage for further post processing (still using Lightroom for photos and has only changed slightly). Prerequisites Always annoyed that single cards had to […]

Using crop camera or FX with telezoom and converter?
After I saw some impressive pictures of the Sigma 150-600 using a 2x teleconverter, I wanted to see whether using a crop camera with a telezoom should be used for long range or whether a FX with teleconverter does the trick. I bought the Sigma TC-1401 which was introduced last year and where the 2x version […]

Introduction Fourth test series is with the D800 but this time using 400mm focal length. This test allowed me to include the Nikkor 200-400 without a TC. The full pictures The camera was set to 200 ISO, it’s native ISO setting. All pictures taken with an aperture of f6.3 for the Nikkor, Sigma and Tamron, the Nikkor with […]

Introduction Third test series is with the D800. The Pixelmonster. Allows easily to crop to the D2x resolution from a 400mm picture. However, the camera is slow in picture rate and not as well handled as the D3. I mainly use it for landscapes and general photography. However, bird shots are quite nice as it allows […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 3: D3...
Introduction Second test series is with the D3. I used this camera for all pictures I shot during the Masai Mara trip using the Nikkor 200-400. Incredible results with that combination. Very good at higher ISO and also very high picture rate (you hardly miss a frame). The handling is outstanding. The full pictures The Nikkor […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 2: D2...
Introduction First test series is with the D2x. My normally used Crop-Camera. Unfortunately Nikon does not build semi-professional crop-cameras anymore. A modern 16Mpix crop-camera with either D2x or at least D300s body would be something I’d definitely would buy. The D7100 which I had for some months was good but the sensor did have too […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 & Tamron 150-600 (Part 1)
Finally received my Sigma 150-600 Sport this week. Weather was ok to run a Test with the three Telelenses on all my used cameras. [singlepic id=5423 w= h= float=center] Cameras used were D2x, D3 and D800. All three lenses were tested with each camera. The target was a selfmade board having a printed testchart, a […]
F-Stop Tilopa packing
Got my F-Stop Tilopa this week. I ordered together with the XL Pro ICU. I was hoping to fit 2 cameras and “normal” gear together with one of the Tele-Zooms (current: Nikkor 200-400f4 or Tamron 150-600f5-6.3) in it but it shows that the Tilopa is not wide enough to take two of these lenses together […]
